I can get behind this

I don’t have a source ready with me to back up my statement. But at least here in India, almost everyone I see in public transportation use wireless earbuds. Usually I look like the odd one out for wearing wired earphones.

If people already have wired headphones, then the most eco-friendly solution would be to enable users to continue to use them, and not force them to buy even more new products.

You absolutely don’t need to go out and buy a new headphones if your phone doesn’t have an audio jack. Just buy a dongle. Yes, I’m aware that this is worse for the planet than just including an audio jack in the phone. But if you buy a dongle once, you don’t have to worry about your future phones not having a headphone jack. So in the long run, this move is better for the planet.

Companies removed it to sell overpriced wireless headphones.

Of course, I’m not denying this. That still doesn’t negate my point about audio jacks being redundant ports.

It’s way better to use regular headphones than the wireless pieces of crap with batteries and an amplifier and a bluetooth receiver in them.

Yes, and those regular headphones CAN be plugged into phones without headphone jack via the USB-C port

There is a good reason to remove it. Especially for a company like fairphone. Why waste resources and money into making a redundant component (USB-C can do audio, also the majority of people have switched to wireless audio) when you’re trying to make a planet-conscious product?

recent ones was also downplaying Modi letting lower caste children starve…

Lol what?! When did I? Care to link the comment where I downplayed Modi letting children starve? You’re straight up lying now, aren’t you?

Aren’t you the same guy who said India launching 104 satellites (96 of them were American in fact) in one go made “no logical sense” but was done just for PR? Aren’t you also the same guy who said India is not capable of building a linux distro? (My brother in Christ, we just landed a fucking spacecraft on the moon 😂). Your disdain for my country couldn’t be more blatant. And of course you had to label me a “far right extremist” for calling out your bullshit

Bro has made it his life mission to talk shit about India and ISRO. I mean just look at this guy’s comment history.

No, this one. But I vibe to TheFatRat too

doesn’t look like it

His brain thinks a country that can successfully launch rockets surely doesn’t have what it takes to build a secure linux distro. You think that brain is capable of admitting to mistakes?

Hey, another example of India doing something that makes no logical sense just for the PR

Only 2 of those 104 satellites were Indian. Rest all were foreign satellites. In fact 96 of them were from the USA. But yeah, obviously all these foreign satellites satellites serve no purpose whatsoever. Obviously they were launched just so ISRO could score some PR points 😂

There is absolutely nothing impressive about launching 104 satellites in one go. What would be truly impressive is building a linux distro, amirite?

Man, you all are making this easy

Insert wojak crying behind mask meme

My country once successfully launched 104 satellites with a single rocket. And this guy really believes we can’t build a secure linux distro because we’re nothing more than a “3rd world country poised to become the newest sweatshop of the developed world”. Wow, okay dude.

but because India’s government is one of the most corrupt in the world

This same country also has a space organization that is well-respected all around the world. If we can launch rockets, we sure as hell can build a secure Linux based distro lol.

Because i’m a monke
