    it’s funny how big tech basically determines how things are going to go, regardless of what anyone thinks. i remember the “uproar” when whoever tf it was decided to release a phone without a headphone jack. everyone said “i don’t like that” and the response was “yes. you fucking do like that. you like it right up the ass.” and now literally no one complains about the lack of headphone jack on any phone that exists now.

    i was also there when win 95 came out, and remember thinking “are people this fucking stupid, that they can’t get along on a computer without some fancy newfangled ‘graphical’ user interface?”

    yep.

    Remind me again how that went.

    investigate how many businesses are planning to ditch windows for something else, regardless of how shitty windows is. i would actually be interested in those numbers

      I still complain about the lack of the headphone jack (and SD slot). It’s just become almost impossible to buy one that supports it without it being lacking in some other way. But I held out for ten years at least.

      I get you’re making a broader point about how most people act and I agree.

        I still gripe about phones without removable batteries. They design the lifetime of the phone to be limited to its shortest-lived component. And I’m convinced that they design charging ports to break.
