mmhhkk

I keep saying. It's revolution or extinction, and we have to make a choice quick.

Can't we just fucking start the revolution already

Damn. Is there a better alternative for collaborating with a team? The issue is that at this point it's almost a requisite for programmers to have a "github portfolio" with tons of commits.

3.5mm plugs are literally 1950s technology, the manufacturing cost is virtually zero, instead now they're including up to four cameras on some phones which are way more expensive and complex to install, take up more space and might be used less often than a headphone jack, so I don't buy it. This is capitalists we're talking about. The idea is that you'll buy an overpriced adapter or more expensive wireless headphones instead. And you'll replace those headphones more often because the BT Audio codecs will keep getting better (to achieve the same lossless sound quality as a wired pair) and the battery will die out.

What's bad about GitHub?

My only pair of headphones is wired, I'm not rich so I only replace them when they break. These have a really flat response which is what I was looking for, and they were only $80 back then (still the most expensive pair I've ever bought, but way cheaper than wireless solutions).

Same. At least my recent Xiaomi still has two of these 3 features (not the removable battery sadly, but also it has a plastic back). It seems like smartphone design already peaked some time ago, and now it's time to start making them worse and worse for the sake of more profit.

The headphone jack thing is especially infuriating because it's a $1 part which once removed requires you to buy more expensive and worse-sounding Bluetooth headphones which also have a consumable battery which requires continuous charging and will die one day. I guess the memory card slot is also a $1 part which once removed forces you to overpay for storage when you buy the phone, so that's really awful too.

Of course greedy fucks will preach that being like them is a virtue, but if everyone had the privilege of being as greedy, lazy, exploitative and opportunistic as they are, nothing would ever get done. Maybe they're social parasites and not role models after all...

According to the American Psychological Association, 91% of Gen Z between ages 18-21 in the last month have experienced at least one physical or emotional symptom due to stress. Additionally, suicide rates are at 22.7%.

Yup, doesn't make it any clearer

As a Mexican I can say the average person here believes the US is a utopia where everyone is rich, owns a huge suburban house, has material abundance, public schools are great, there's no crime, and you can get all of this off a blue collar worker's wage. The US has amazing PR for normies despite the internet existing where you can see reality how it is. Hollywood, celebrities, social media stars, rich border shopping towns, and the exaggerated success stories of immigrants all help sell that image. People here see that the minimum wage over there is $7 per hour and don't understand that everything costs more as well. I'm generalizing of course. A lot of people pay attention to the news, read books, and/or have first-hand experience with the more shitty aspects of the US empire and have plenty of criticism about them, but it might not be the majority.
