The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying “I wish I couldn’t replace my phone battery” or “I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone”

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

Madly jealous that you have grocery stores open this late. Where I am they close at 9pm on weekdays, 5pm on weekends

This is fascinating because I got a BRI of 1.9 and it’s saying I’m in the healthy zone. So I don’t really know what to believe here

Our just play games on Linux. Wine/proton is shockingly good. I’ve never had an issue

Reaper works great on mint. Plus yabridge to use your windows plugins.

Just wanted to say I saved this comment to come back to, and I’ve been playing catrap and I’ve been really enjoying it. I like the relaxed nature of it. It’s just a puzzle with no time limit and no penalty for fucking up

there’s no way it could be worse than oreo coke

Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it’s worth dealing with windows to do it.

Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can’t charge and listen to music.

Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can’t think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can’t use a seperate dac, it means you can’t plug them into studio gear. It’s just so incredibly limiting.

There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.

No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It’s a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it’s like that for a reason

All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.

My never-purchase-anything-from-amazon lifestyle is vindicated on a daily basis at this point

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

YouTube revanced gives me ad blocking with sponsor block included

Totally in the same boat. Less diversity and less content, but I don’t mind that. I like that I can can run out of content and it’s a nice reminder I’ve probably been on my phone too much and should do something else with my time. Using Lemmy feels healthier than using Reddit.
