   What are good brands these days for bluetooth speakers? I don't want the speakers to have a lot of functionality or even amazing sound etc., just something that isn't entirely enshittified yet.

   My current speakers are really annoying because it is literally (!) impossible to turn them off. They sometimes wake me up in the middle of the night with "Ready to connect!!".

   You know, like apparently the company brother is for printers.

   PSA: I have started federating my Threads posts via @alexheath, which means they should now be visible on here, though I can’t reply to / follow Mastodon users from Theads yet.

   My posts will be at that profile going forward, and hopefully I’ll soon be able to redirect this account to avoid any confusion.

   You don't. You're fully logged in to google.

   I frankly don't find the sandbox google play services argument convincing, except for the sake of greater compatibility with a very narrow selection apps that don't work with MicroG yet.

   My knowledge of Android is admittedly quite rudimentary, but I find it alarming that when I install Google Maps with zero permissions, it already has my account info (which it's getting from google play)
