Some vegans won’t get vaccines if they contain egg protein.

Vegan here, that seems a little extreme, and I haven’t heard of any vegan who does that. Also for many vaccines they make egg-free variants anyways. There are not really many good excuses to not get vaccinated if you ask me

I would definitely choose a french philosopher. I’m sure there are many french philosophers who would make good babysitters

Edit: You know there are more french philosophers out there then just old dead guys? There are many philosophers who are Frech still living today

[Me]: I think I’ll read a book on this beautiful Sunday morning.

[Narrator]: It was actually 7pm on a Wednesday. And he didn’t read a book. He ate the shredded cheese instead.

Emerald,

Just rid them of all their money. 100%

Emerald,

I still go to record stores and purchase music.

Emerald,

en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Sweden_sex_competition_hoax

It even has its own wikipedia page.

Emerald,

Not OP but I recommend AirVPN

Emerald,

I have no issue seeding on a 300mbps connection. I get tons of data upload.

Emerald,

I don’t set a speed limit but I use wifi for seeding so I don’t get priority anyways.

Emerald,

325f, debian

Emerald,

Many people still use printers.

Emerald,

I don’t see how anyone would think this is DID

Back when phones had ir blasters you wouldn’t need a proprietary app to use them. The switchbot hub sounds like an iot nightmare

Emerald,

It honestly isn’t really noticeable. The better sound quality of the external dac is however.

Emerald,

Lots of times they are pretty bad though, maybe because of the interference they are subject to inside of a phone

Emerald,

Idk why its $20 in the play store, get it from f-droid.

can’t do a handcam right now but here it is in use

Emerald,

With OLED screens its kind of crazy that simulated notification lights aren’t a thing. You could have all the other pixels off except for a dot on the screen which would act as a notification light when the display was off.

Emerald, (edited )

Oh yes the notification light was incredible. I had one on my Pixel 2 XL. I just switched phones like a week ago to a Nord N200 and it doesn’t have one. Not too big of a deal though.

I wish phones still had IR blasters but those are long gone. It would be awesome to control my Edifier speakers with my phone as a remote control.

Edit: Also how about a good camera? All mid range and low end phones today have like 3 or 4 mediocre cameras because it looks fancier then having 1 nice camera.

Emerald,

people had to buy Bluetooth headphones

people seem to forget that external dacs exist. Every device manufacturer makes them.

Emerald,

It just occured to me I have never had a phone with a notch.

Emerald,

I use thumb-key to make typing on the phone more accurate. It works pretty nicely

Emerald, (edited )

Can second the replaceable batteries and extendable storage.

However I don’t mind the lack of a headphone jack, because they make affordable dongle dacs now. I think instead of a headphone jack phones should just have 2 usb c ports

Emerald,

without all the extra parts needed to support these features you can make the phone thinner

The Galaxy S4 from 2013 has a removable battery, headphone jack, and sd card slot. Its no thicker then a modern smartphone.

cheaper to make

I’d rather pay more for something that lasts me longer. If users can replace their own batteries easily and expand their storage, they can hold on to the device for longer. That way they’ll buy less phones and won’t care that the product was minorly more expensive.

Bluetooth headphones have become very common

And have flooded landfills with batteries. Wired headphones don’t have batteries that will degrade or need charging.

internal storages have become large enough

Not really. I have a 64gb phone and need an sd card to store my music. If I wanted more storage I would literally have to buy a different device. I’d rather just have an sd card slot.

people buy a new phone often enough nowadays that battery wear is not as much of an issue

battery wear is part of the reason people trash their otherwise working phones. People buying phones more often is a symptom of not having right to repair.

Emerald,

Yep. It’s actually made by a lemmy dev.
