Bots and no-life powermods “streamlining” the communication

This should be even more incentive to diversify knowledge away from Reddit

Honest answer: Significantly less than Reddit.

Bots have no incentive to astroturf unpopular sites.

Understandable but resorting to Reddit in its current state (with current leadership) is probably worse

As opposed to the previous trend of getty greedily monopolising the industry, stealing images that they don’t own copyright for and using their lawyers to mute smaller competitors they steal from? In this case AI is the lesser of two evils. If you don’t hate getty, you simply don’t know enough about them.

An audio jack is anything but tiny in a mobile phone form factor… Theres just no way to keep it without sacrificing something else.

If waste and efficiency are real concerns you should be against the old headphone jacks. They waste a lot of space and are an entrypoint for water and dust, for redundant functionality that already exists in usbc or lightning

I used to share this opinion but grew out of it tbh.

From an engineering perspective headphone jacks are: a) a huge waste of space for no real functionality as the function is integrated in USB-C or lightning.

b) an unnecessary weak point in water- and dustproofing.

If you need an audio jack, specialised models still have it or a dedicated android audio player (fiio make great ones) will serve you better.

I say this as an audiophile btw.
