Most of the annoying stuff that Linux users hate about Windows are because Windows has to cater to even the least technologically knowledgeable users.

It is why Windows updates are forced, why so many files are locked behind SYSTEM user and can’t easily be circumvented, why some settings are registry or Group Policy only, why some settings are opt out, …

Without those, their support center would blow up.

So if Linux wants to become mainstream, it will have to cater to those users as well. And Linux will slowly turn into Windows.

That just shows the strength of the Twitter brand.

You can make this argument for literally every business, though. Which business does not have a single pool of resources and multiple clients to consume them?

The majority of factories. They get an order in and produce the product until that order is fulfilled. They don’t have to be running 24/7, it is just that that is the most profitable.

But if you stick to your “analogy”, a factory also chooses who their customers are. And if some are too demanding, they just drop them. Like the casinos.

Not all, but more than front enders being able to do backend is my point.

If that were true, you’d have more front end devs being able to do backend instead of the other way around.

Don’t forget the little string so you can easily pop em out and let em dangle without losing them.

I’m sorry you have to deal with that.

But our point is that having a little extra hole in your phone isn’t going to matter to you.

More options is always better.

There was no reason to remove them back then and there is no reason to remove them now.

Pretty sure the market would be bigger if manufacturers didn’t remove the feature in order to push to wireless.

What I like about them is not having a battery, meaning they have a lot less impact on the climate. And it isn’t needed when they are always connected to an other device with a battery that is less than 1m away.

I’d give up the space of a battery for a jack, yes

How can you say that! It harms the shareholders of wireless earphones manufacturers!

Well, my point is that we wouldn’t need wireless headphones if Fairphone still had a headphone jack

How is having more features an inconvenience?

Yeah, or like having a separate screen for entering your username and one for entering your password …

USB-c manages all those protocols when you plug it in.

It will always pick the best one depending on the available hardware.

Displayport sucks.

The connector is so brittle and long, it breaks too easily compared to HDMI.

And it is not like DP has features that HDMI doesn’t.

I hate that, all my other devices use HDMI.

None of my DP ports have been used.

Except for the one I plugged a DP to HDMI adaptor in because my GPU only has one bloody HDMI.

It wouldn’t go to waste if we were to use “gravity batteries” that have existed for centuries: hydropower
