What I see is an inexperienced developer who instead of systematically debugging the issue keeps trying random stuff hoping that it will somehow work.

It depends. If there is any money on the line or don't want to burn bridges then I'd do the smart thing, whatever that is. Otherwise I'd just skip it.

If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You'll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.

I've been using such a setup for the past 15 years.

I've done many hours of phonecalls on mine. Mic quality is acceptable, slightly mushy. Wind is an issue for example when riding a bike at higher speeds. Wearing a hoodie over them can block the mic too.

I've been using various Aftershokz/Shokz models for many years and well over a thousand hours. They are a great option for speech-focused contents like podcasts, audiobooks and that's what I use them for. I almost never use them for music, the lack of bass (even with earplugs) just doesn't do it for me. But I don't find any earbuds satisfactory for music either so maybe I am more picky than most.

I agree with OP about the controls. They are workable but could be much better even considering the limited inputs. I particularly hate the choice of triple-click for backwards-seek and I mess up the timing half the time. Another pet-peeve is the loud beep on play/pause that cannot be turned off. Using the phone/computer controls instead of the on-device ones avoid these issues.

As far as models I originally got the Aeropex and later on "downgraded" to the OpenMove. The audio quality is comparable between the two, the only thing you are missing with the lower end model is comfort - but that is highly subjective! I actually prefer the way the OpenMove feels.

I really wish that there was more competition in this space. The Shokz products are a bit overpriced and slow to evolve and the rest of the options I've seen seems lower quality and worse form factor. Would love to hear if anybody has found a different brand that they prefer over the Shokz models.

SearXNG is great at what it does but it falls into the Bing/Google/etc-frontend category since it just forwards your query to one of the search engines it has modules for. It doesn't have its own crawl and index.

I wish that was the case but sadly most of them are basically Bing or Google frontends or belong to entities that I trust even less. As far as I can tell there are very few independent crawls out there.

They federate because it’s the most efficient way to scrape fediverse instances and build profiles on fediverse users.

That's not true. Quiet scraping is much easier to implement than integrating AP into your platform.

And keeping the v2 (or v3+WebRequest) support in the browser is not enough, they'd also have to start running their own extension store since presumably the Chrome one will no longer carry such extensions.

At the moment you can't even use the web UI without installing the official app so I am skeptical.

My butt is orbiting the center of our galaxy at around 500K mph so that thing still has some ways to go.

I am pretty sure that giving you more control over your device is not what they have in mind.

 

According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.
