@davidmaddock@aus.social Sorry, I totally spaced on this! Okay, I found what I did.
First, make sure that your Bluetooth service is running with sudo systemctl start bluetooth. Then, do sudo bluetoothctl. Once bluetoothctl starts running, enter power on. Then scan for devices with scan on. Put the device you want to pair into pairing mode. You should see the device show up with its MAC address. When you do, copy down the MAC address, then enter the pair command with the MAC address.

@un_bourguignon @fdroidorg @marcprux They got rid of that a long time ago. If they were serious about not being evil, they would've made themselves a public benefit corporation

@davidmaddock@aus.social You can quit bluetoothctl by entering quit.
Then, do sudo bluetoothctl again and enter connect with the MAC address.
After I did all of that, my earbuds started showing up in Bluetooth settings and I could connect to them.

@levi As far as "protecting children" goes, this is really weak tea. If you really want to protect children, work on regulating social media and AI
Today is Thermidor 25 in the French Revolutionary Calendar honoring the otter ("lutro" in Esperanto)! Happy Otter-day!
