This post has devolved into shit and filled with a bunch of whiners complaining about the same dumb shit that isn't a goal of this phone. Might as well whine the new iPhone doesn't cost under $400 for as reasonable of a complaint anything on this post is.

You can get a phone jack adapter for $5 moron.

It's like complaining a new PC doesn't come with USB-A and only USB-C.

Design decisions shouldn't always be up to the end user. Every single option can't always be included forever and ever.

If you want wired for quality, you need a DAC anyway. If you want wired otherwise, leave the adapter on your headphones.

Don't let your inability to adapt stifle actual developmental progress.

Because everyone in the supply chain is being paid a fair wage and not being exploited.

Based on what? Cost? The whole premise is sustainability and ensuring the people who build it aren't working sweatshop workers like with every other major phone. I say this knowing full well I'm using one of those phones but Fairphone has only recently become available in my country.

So it depends on if you want a bad deal by parting with some extra dollars or it's a bad deal for the workers that are getting exploited so you save a few dollars.

You have $5 options.

It allowed them to increase the IP rating, allows for simplified manufacturing, and easier maintainability and repairability.

How is not including it considered greenwashing (I notice you didn't ask about that, so I assume you know the answer)?

I despise people repeating comments. How is making the device cheaper, more sustainable, and more reliable greenwashing? I would love anybody who just loves complaining about the headphones jack to explain that. No one else has. I doubt anybody complaining really cares about the environment either. What phone do you currently have?

Weird. I could have sworn software comes on it too. Your phone doesn't have software?

At that point you're getting a very specific phone for a very specific purpose. It's not the rule but the exception. So it doesn't apply as a reason for any other phone. You've argued why the LG has a 3.5mm jack, not why Fairphone should have a 3.5mm jack. I'd also be curious as to how powerfully it can even drive headphones at that point. It must also have a stronger amplifier than most phones too. It'd be meaningless without it. What's the point of high fidelity if it can't drive headphones that can utilize it.

This is all getting away from the purpose of the Fairphone. It's not a dedicated music player. It's not advertising high fidelity music, psrticyij relation to other phones. I don't think anyone is calling that LG phone "green" either.

Congratulations to anyone who can think of an edge case that wouldn't apply to the Fairphone. Might as well mention a tensor chip not being in the Fairphone.

It doesn't have to do with Star Trek. That's just the name of the Lemmy instance that uploaded it. The community it's uploaded to is comicstrips@lemmy.world.

You can make plant-based cheeses. And some of them are pretty good. But they lack all of the same properties. Like, you can get a cheese that that when hot will stretch a little bit like the cheese on a pizza, but as it cools off it loses all of that elasticity and is not great for lukewarm pizza. You can get cheese that is pretty decent for lukewarm and hot pizza, but it doesn't have that stretch. It more just rips apart. And you definitely don't have the span of "flavors" of cheese or whatever you'd call it. Some of the big ones, sure, but again, they don't have all the same physical properties.

I don't mind the loss of those properties, but many people do.

Cheese isn't a great source for protein compared to beans in regards to price though.

Honestly, I think we subsidize the dairy industry simply because they've been lobbying so long. Meat is subsidized too. It's the one market that the conservatives are fine with ignoring the mantra of "free market" and support regulating the hell out of it in whatever way supports the "farmers" (big farm is nothing like the labeling suggests and is all headed by big guys in suits who likely never have been on a farm in their life).
