I’d much prefer a 3.5mm jack

There are a plethora of cable earphones.
I don’t understand why people complain about wireless.
You’re not the target demographic.

Exactly, wired headphones are everywhere.

My wireless earbuds were such a game changer I’ll never go back, I don’t know why so much hate.

The audio quality is still far inferior to hardline, though Bluetooth audio standards have gotten better over the past recent years.

The “demographic” of human being who doesn’t want to wreck the planet if Fairphone’s target.

If Fairphone is not trying to be universal anymore you should see that as a problem. So should every fairphone customer.

I’ll buy a more sustainable phone than the fairphone when my phone loses support in 2027. I’ll encourage everyone to buy a more sustainable product today.

Seriously, people act like there aren’t solutions to that “problem” that aren’t basically identically inconvenient to how it was before you needed an inline usb c to 3.5 mm adapter.

To preempt those that are gonna say “the adapter is inconvenient…,” no, the 3.5 mm jack that takes up space in my pocket that is unused 100% of the time is the inconvenience. You want a jack. You can have one. You get to have the inconvenience that goes along with it.

This stereotype of Vegans has always bothered me. I’ve never once in my life heard a vegan announce to a group that they were vegan unless it was relevant to the conversation.

I have heard many people complain about vegans completely unprompted, however.

Around 10-15 years ago when that meme/stereotype was popularized , that was kind of the case. The world has moved on since then, the perception of veganism has changed, and it’s not a big deal anymore. Its easier to be vegan now, too. restaurants/grocery stores have more offerings, big brands have vegan options, people aren’t usually rude to you anymore for being vegan or asking for vegan stuff.

I think all this contributes to vegans feeling less of the need to assert themselves like before. I feel like its because people nowadays “get” it and back then most non vegan people didn’t get it.
