Reddit account deleted. I'm all in with Lemmy!

 

I am one of those poor bastards that had a hell of a time getting my Airpods working with Linux. Searches led me to going to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and changing ControllerMode to “bredr”. This got the AirPods working, but then my bt keyboard and mouse wouldn’t connect.

What I wound up doing was switching ControllerMode to bredr, connecting the airpods, then switching ControllerMode back to “dual”. That kept them connected and allowed other devices to also connect.

So, now I’m sharing this for other poor bastards like me who could t get them to work with the steps that are out there.

This worked in Fedora 38 and will be testing with Ubuntu 23.04 and maybe arch today.

I was wondering how it saved files if it’s livecd only:

“At the moment, GhostWriter can save files only to a diskette. It can’t write them to to a hard drive or a USB drive. Admittedly, saving files to a floppy is easy. The desktop menu includes commands to mount and unmount a diskette drive. But many newer computers don’t come with floppy disk drives.”

This project seems like something someone made for themselves just to fuck around. I don’t know why anyone else would need this.

The ultimate goal should be to find a safe middle. I have severe social anxiety which worsened during the pandemic, and social sites are a lifeline for me. If it wasn’t for Reddit (RIP), online games, and Discord, I’m pretty sure I would have driven my long-suffering wife crazy several times over. In fact, joining a local game store discord led me to actually going out and playing M:TG face-to-face for the first time in over a decade.

Like anything else, if used responsibly, social media can be a benefit.
