people in this thread lol

"wow it really was a scam that manufacturers removed the headphone jack from phones and essentially forced ppl to buy short-lived, inferior bluetooth models if they wanted headphones. That really sucks"

"hey you must want a recommendation for yet another random pair of bluetooth headphones"

The problem isnt the individual model of headphones, though some are certainly better than others, it's the whole enchilada, manufacturers deciding en masse that wires are no more.

"bluetooth-only" not the mere concept of bluetooth. phones before 2016 could still do all the things you mention.

also wifi is a pretty bad analogy tbh. not only is it not nearly as shitty and unreliable as bluetooth, but the typical use case is way different. listening to music from a device in your pocket or hand to speakers in your ears is pretty different from running ethernet around your house (and if even a small amount of effort is put in you could run ethernet around your house in such a way that it isn't in the way, even if ugly. if anything the cost is more prohibitive than dealing with a bunch of cables)

trains' ability to operate in snow and ice is incredible tbh

I mean it seems like there's a strong chance it burns their house down depending on the type of firework tbqh. if it's just a firecracker probably not though. In that case the superglue still prevents them from pursuing you and just generally ruins the lock

I still look stuff up there once in a while but I have an auto redirect to libreddit/redlib so I never have to get spied on or advertised to by reddit directly. I used to have an account mainly for hobby stuff and r/acidmarxism but even the hobby stuff was full of insufferable redditors in the comments.

idk about your city/country but its not even what I want from urban spaces lol

barely any grocery stores, everything except some hyper-overpriced bars and restaurants closes at like 6pm because of the scary homeless or whatever, unforgiving concrete steel and glass skyscrapers full of offices and the most bland housing options you've ever seen (unless maybe if you have tons of money, then there might be a penthouse.)

Its rough. Around the edges of downtown you might get some older neighborhoods with mixed land use and smaller more affordable housing buildings, if you're lucky (if you're not lucky they fully ringed the CBD with interstate highways and demolished these), but some of the other issues remain

some background. It is an art piece but not in the way you're thinking

humble university faculty

Also almost entirely at the beck and call of the same imperialists unfortunately, especially in hard sciences and engineering.

But yeah, there's definitely engineering jobs that don't require you to work for lockheed out there. But the most lucrative ones seem to be the worst morally. I hear civil engineering is mostly nice, or yeah elevator mechanics make good money (usually union)

Nope. I highlighted the app only because it's an existing, working solution that an individual can use today. It is not a great solution for obvious reasons. I for one only browse via lemmy-ui, so that app does precisely nothing for me. My intention wasn't to poo-poo possible solutions, but to push back on your entitled framing implying that it was such an easy problem that it must have been an intentional omission to leave it out. Other users had no problem conversing with me in good faith and not being so hostile. I agree it's an issue, and so do the Lemmy devs, it just hasn't been solved yet.

I don't care about your contribution to the thread, I mean you aren't contributing to Lemmy, the codebase, and so my patience for such a level of hostility and complaining is low.

Why so hostile? I don't see you contributing.

Anyhow, other users have provided context on where discussions are taking place on how to improve the issues you brought up. It's not a static legacy codebase, but nor do ideas spring to life without dev effort.
