We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

    Video call, YouTube video, music video. You can’t watch it with the phone up to your head

    People, as with all the things, need a constant feedback loop to stay within acceptable balance. Because acceptance is the feedback loop. If you never teach a child how to behave in public, they will behave poorly in public. The feedback loop is critical

      I’ll give you youtube videos, but nobody NEEDS to watch YouTube so everyone around them is subject to it.

      If you need a constant feedback loop to remember how to behave then you’re weak and won’t survive the winter.

        I don’t know what to tell you: humans as they are, are not humans as you would like them to be. But we have to deal with them as they are.

        Designing phones for low friction headphone use make public spaces nicer to be in.

        Designing phones to sell earbuds creates more profit, but public spaces are worse to be in.

        That’s my takeaway
