I'm willing to bet that not one single wealthy person benefiting from these tax cuts thought: "Hey cool I'll pass the money I saved from these tax cuts down to the less fortunate"

Can't speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:

  • 3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot

  • Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices

  • I can't charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time

  • Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.

  • I already have too many wireless things to charge

  • I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust

  • I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter

  • I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them

Yeah probably, but Nvidia can afford lawyers and delays for years. Much longer than any oss group could afford

'unique opportunity for impact'

Impact can't pay my fucking debt

I think it's more just reducing the overload, not really hiding. An information vacation.

Funny how he refused to separate conflicts of interest when he was president but thinks it's a good idea now that he's in legal trouble

Exactly how I do it, but the hard part is when you forget one of the numbers mid thought

Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but for as long as I can remember I can usually stop mild twitches by just thinking about it. They sometimes come back after a few minutes but usually not.

That's probably the only superpower I have.

Hollywood will just do what they always do. Pour billions more into lobbying the government until they pass something that will allow certain exemptions.

Think I won't upvote this? I upvoted cans of beans. Have an upvote.

Been in an 'old gods' mood, so I'm currently re-reading The Child Thief, by Brom. Probably gonna go on to some Neil Gaiman stuff after that. Likely Good Omens

How does 5k subs equate to 25k revenue a month? I know quite a few YouTubers with more than that and they only make a few hundred a month.
