If I turn it off after pairing, it'll refuse to connect the next time.

I also hate apps which request for unnecessary permissions. I have a dashcam which has an app to view the recorded videos. The app requires bluetooth as well as gps location info. Bluetooth is understandable but I don't see the need for GPS. Unfortunately for me I can't seem to get mock locations working properly on my phone. It also refuses to work if i do not give it location permission. :(

Same here. I ended up using C9nnect for Lemmy as it doesn't collect any data.

I'm about to suggest another app for you to install. :p

If you're using an android phone (I don't know if it exist on iOS) install the DuckDuckGo app. It has a feature called "App Tracking Protection". It is supposed to block all trackers. I think it works as one of the games i have installed on my phone takes about a minute longer to load, compared to without the tracking protection. I think this is the next best course of action (apart from not installing / using the required apps).

It's good that developers make it easy to customize the soundtrack, although I didn't feel the need to as I found the songs for Rebel Galaxy exceptionally good. Have not played Outlaw yet. I've read reviews that gameplay wise it wasn't as good as the first one.

Interesting that no one mentioned Rebel Galaxy. Granted that the songs are probably not to everyone's liking. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRMcXkadosW43B18ZSbYFqBnFn2myQwRw

Was in New Zealand for a short holiday last year and I hired one of those e-scooters for about an hour. Very convenient and fun. Most of the users there were quite well behaved too. I think discouraging anti-social behavior in users here will go a long way in making ebikes and escooters accepted by the community and councils.

Why not try one of the free nextcloud hosting providers? I don't remember if they have support for Nextcloud apps.

You can also get 90 degree angled headphone plugs which don't stick out much at all. Mskes me less worried when i have my phone in my pocket and I'm walking around.

As for 90 degree usb-c headphone adapters... nowhere to be found.
