Waiting in running gear at pedestrian lights near the city square, I noticed someone in running gear waiting on the other side. I was hefting an ironing board picked up on the way home. He held a bag of potting soil. Beside me, a young couple in wedding-guest finery carried a giant pack of toilet rolls. It struck me as a sign of a livable, walkable city. The things people casually have in their hands in the shadow of a cathedral show if a city is home to ordinary people.

Den der fornemmelse når man stadig ikke er helt vågen, og morgenen er lidt kold, men man går ind i en morgensolstråle og mærker varmen på kroppen 😊

Ich hab jetzt einen #friendica Account. Was mache ich damit? Ich sehe noch nicht so ganz den Unterschied zu hier 🤔

The latest survey shows that nearly 75% of Europeans believe their country benefits from EU membership.

Over the years, the EU flag has become the most recognisable symbol of a shared European identity, fostering a sense of solidarity and community.

Today marks 40 years since it was raised for the very first time in front of our headquarters in Brussels.

The EU flag belongs to all Europeans.
It’s a symbol of our shared values, opportunities and common future.

Pooh got in.

@miturian It's probably not the best headphone in the world, but I've used it now for a couple of months for teams-meetings (great), for watching videos on my laptop and listening music while not disturbing my family. Overall I'm very happy with it. Additionally, I ordered this box. It fits well.

Verdict:
This is not a great set of head phones. But so far, they work fine for my needs. I think fairphone should look into making a proper travel container, consider adding an extra degree of freedom for the orienting the ear cups, and either skip noise cancellation, or figure out how to do it right. Based on my experience so far, these head phones are for people who ‘just need something’, but otherwise like that their choice is a bit more environmentally responsible.

General design:
I agree that it is silly that the button for switching between noise cancellation, ‘ambient sound’ and ‘off’ is apparently unresponsive while the voice announces the new setting. There are only 3 states. Pressing twice should let me jump directly to the next state over.
Otherwise, I think the buttons work fine.
Noise cancellation:
Not really there. At least, compared to the Sony headset, they might as well not have bothered with this functionality.
Microphone:
Has worked fine for me so far. Have used the head set both in work calls and once when the phone rang while I was listening to a podcast.
