Hard to take seriously, coming from Frank the Tank

The pairing state file seems worth exploring. Thank you!

I'm using Gnome and whatever it uses under the hood for bluetooth. Restarting the daemon might be worth exploring though, at least to see if behavior changes.

That's exactly the route that I was going. Although I'm back at work today and noticed that even a usb-connected wired headset has some issues. I have to do some more testing, but the only way I've been able to make things work seamlessly is by logging out with my private user entirely while I'm working :/

 

I've set up a separate user account on my system for work-related stuff. I usually use my employer's hardware, but we're allowed to use our own device and sometimes it's simply convenient to work on my linux instead of a Mac.

This has led me to a problem that I haven't encountered before: bluetooth seems straight-up wonky when I switch between users. I have bluetooth headphones, for example, that have always worked fine. Noticing that they didn't receive any sound when I switched to the work account was the first hiccup.

No problem, I thought, I'll re-pair every time I switch from the one account to the other. No such luck. Pairing works, but it's associated with the previous account. Not even "forgetting" the device helped.

No problem, I thought. I've got an extra bluetooth headset. I'll pair the one while I'm in the one account and the other while I'm in the other account. No such luck. I get stuck in a "connected", "disconnected" loop.

I had hoped that this was an audio issue and used arch's pulseaudio documentation to make audio sharable between accounts, which worked for a wired connect, but it's at that point that I realized, this doesn't work for bluetooth devices, because of the issues described above.

Has anyone managed to get this working? I'm open to workarounds, as long as they work consistently and allow me to switch back and forth between accounts.

If you ever have to go back to bash, it supports it as well. In my bashrc:

bind '"\C-p":history-search-backward'

That's ctrl-p, but I'm sure the up arrow is possible too.

My pixel was the USB-C phone that I was referencing above 🙈

I'm glad it works for at least some folks :)

Somewhat unrelated, but I recently realized, my micro USB devices have never "worn out" the way my USB-C devices have. I remember having to rig things up, just to get one last charge into my USB-C phone that stopped holding a connection to the charging cable. It actually made me nostalgic for the "plug it in, flip it, plug it in again, realize you still don't have it and flip it again" approach 🤷

I'll give this some attention when time permits because this does not make things clearer, lol.

I'll start with what a field is and a complex field 🤞

Ok, everyone but me seems to get it, so I'll ask. I get everything but the last bit. What does "isomorphic with the complex field" mean? I think I know what isomorphic means from some dabbling I've done in category theory.

wait, I finally get it. 10x developers write 10x lines of code. They're just verbose AF, so that many more lines of liability. That's it. Yeah, I'm not 10x.

I'm not saying, reduce lines of code in favor of readability, but that's a different argument. I've heard it said that no abstraction is better than the wrong abstraction, but are 10xers opting for no abstraction all the time?

For non-U.S. Americans, I hear "whom" all the time here, like not a day goes by without hearing some co-worker use it.

I agree though languages change with time.

Most grammar nazis I know would probably go with "Not I"
