“I still miss my headphone jack, and I want it back”

One of the crappiest tech trends ever (that isn’t actively evil, y’know, like union busting, surveillance, election rigging, etc.)

@baldur
The thing about this is there are lots of good used phones out there with headphone jacks. If we all buy those sooner or later we will get our headphone jacks back.

This is a point in time where the scales are massively turning in consumer's favor because there is so LITTLE practical difference in the season's newest phone vs an old one.

A lot of these predatory anti-features reflect that in a way I think.

@Alonealastalovedalongthe Yeah, all of the computing devices I own have a headphone jack and I intend to keep it that way if at all possible.
