Yeah I completely agree when you put it that way. I’ve been doing this for the desktop web apps that I used to have installed (Discord, Spotify, Teams) accessing them via a browser instead.
I’ve been meaning to tidy up my phone anyway so I’ll give the mobile Web UI a good go.
Why is it that you don’t use 3rd party apps? I have no issue with Jerboa and have used it extensively, but I’m mainly wondering if there’s something I’m missing with 3rd party Lemmy clients.
From my subscriptions, I don’t have anyone who deals with racecars, but I enjoy Flexiny and Aging Wheels for old car content.
I had a standing desk at my old job and liked it a lot.
So when a desk riser came up at an op shop for $20, I snapped that up.
I tend to have the desk up when I’m gaming or studying, and lowered if I feel like I just want to chill and watch some YouTube.
However I wasn’t aware of the sit-stand technique, so I may give this a go!
I hear you, and I’m sure others do too, even if they don’t reply back.
I’m not sure how to take this post, whether you’re looking for some direction on where to go next, if you’re just venting about your current situation, or something else.
Regardless, you’ve reached out to someone somewhere here on Lemmy and that’s great. Maybe someone else here will comment some great advice specific to you, but otherwise I would highly suggest you find some free service to help if you haven’t already.
I’m not sure where you are in the world (and I don’t expect you to divulge that), but a good start might be a debt helpline. Australia has one, and I’ve been fortunate enough so far not to need it, so I can’t speak for how good or bad they generally are but I don’t see the harm in trying.
If you’ve already tried reaching out for help and you’re still both in this situation and clearly stressed, don’t discount all help options because the ones you tried didn’t work out. Outside of public services, even asking friends (especially older ones) for advice would be worth it. Even the lady across the counter you regularly shop at. Don’t dump it all on them but just ask if they were in crippling debt what would they do.
I paid an extra $20 to extend the warranty of my $150AUD gaming headphones from 1 to 3 years.
Just over a year of owning them and the microphone boom broke. I never used the detachable microphone but the arm itself was rattling in the headset, so got it replaced at the retailer.
It’s been about 12 months since then, and I may need to take them back at some point again soon as the plastic has fractured right where the headphone cup attaches to the band. It’s not completely broken but its not far off
