I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

My last phone had a headphone jack. Wanna guess how often I used it? All the time! And that was despite having decent Bluetooth headphones.

I loved wearing my cans when mowing the lawn because it cut down on the noise, and I also used them when laying in bed since they had much better audio. I would use my Bluetooth headphones the rest of the time because they were more convenient.

My new phone doesn't have headphone jack, and I'm super bummed.

So now you still do the exact same things but with a little dongle, right?

Yup. If anything, they should add a second USB-C connector. Much more versatile and you can still charge your phone if one of them dies.

These flaky, but simultaneously bulky headphone connectors need to die. They're inferior in pretty much every way imaginable.

Every day the bait gets lower and lower effort

Quickly checking if you're an actual human or just a bot I came across this comment of yours:

I have blocked 264 users, 9 communities and 4 instances and it's made Lemmy much better for me toxicity wise. Whenever a debate gets toxic or someone starts just insulting or discussing in bad faith or I just get a bad vibe from them - I block.

Guess I'll take your advice then.
