My pixel 8 pro has been working fine with usb-c headphones getting regular use. I usually leave them plugged into the phone throughout the day and then charge at night. Phone’s maybe 8 months old now, but I did the same with my pixel 6 for years without a problem. I am pretty careful when I unplug things from the slot though.

I did pretty much the same a little over ten years ago. Lost two close online friends but they never contacted me on text, email, or discord (which I gave them because it was new and cool at the time). I had held onto Facebook specifically for those two friends for a few years longer than I would have liked, and couldn’t stomach it anymore.

Fell back into my My Chemical Romance roots this week. I’ve developed a better appreciation for Danger Days though!

I’m hoping to get more of Connolly’s writing soon. We’ve read through Labour in Irish History and it was excellent. It’s an incredible tragedy that he was executed by the British before seeing a free Ireland. The country would be such a better place if he’d been able to organise and agitate for his version of socialism rooted in Irish history while they were building their government structure.
