apple homepods are worse than sonos which was terrible
it is not possible to send audio to homepods outside of apple music and podcast apps
for example, i'm playing music on safari ipad and it is not possible to send audio to my $300 dollar homepod
fucking unbelievable

i am going to greece next week. i will be deleting social media, email, and messaging apps from my devices for the duration. i will be reviewing photos, files, and everything to make sure i have nothing obviously political or critical of what's happening. i will clear all browser history and caches. i will also be disabled facial recognition
never before have i been concerned about leaving or entering through US border patrol. but i am heavily tattooed and moderately pierced, all my clothes are black. i have a mildly freakish hippie goatee (i would shave it off but since i can't hide my facial tats or giant ear plugs, i don't think it will help)
honestly, i don't want to go, but it's a family trip that was planned long ago
i even plan to delete this message
i do not think i am over-reacting

long shot request for help
a couple weeks back i stumbled on a website. a guy makes custom and one-off audio pedals (some guitar, some for other purposes) and sells them. he had at least a couple dozen different devices for sale, maybe more. they all look home-made
i recall that only a handful of the devices were guitar pedals, but a search for those brough me to his page
one of his devices was a hand-held thing that picks up electrical and/or magnetic waves. the idea is to walk around city streets and pick all kinds of weird sounds from around you
i thought i bookmarked the site, but did not. can't find it in my history
maybe using the initials LS?
finally, of copurse,if you know of anyone else making and selling things like this i'd love to know about them

mastodon meets my immediate personal needs but it looks like bluesky is going to be a better platform to promote my lit journals
i *liked* that twitter used to be a centralized public square, but i think we've all realized that that model isn't sustainable for too many reasons to list
community is what i'm looking for above all else, and using different services for different purposes (communities) is the way

i’ve always said i understand the subscription model for software, so i subscribe to many apps
in moving away from mainstream/legacy media, i’m subscribing to many independent smaller sites (404 media for example), and a few individual journalist's newsletters
but now i'm drowning in monthly and annual subscription fees. it’s becoming difficult to keep track and impossible to afford
this is not sustainable and i can't imagine a solution
