Well Jolla phones run Sailfish OS which doesn’t support this anyway so probably not the phone you should be buying (And the phone supporting Sailfish OS doesn’t suggest at all that it’ll be able to run a “regular” Linux distribution either)
I use CalyxOS on mine. It has microG all working by default so if you need that sort of thing it’s probably the easiest way to get it up and running
Honestly if Discord went away I’d switch to posting notes on a cork board on the wall before I switched to Matrix in its current state.
Matrix is so bad though. Slow, sometimes just doesn’t load, bridges are crap… Why would I want to switch to it?
Not interested in any fledgeling platform that doesn’t have a fart app, sorry
I said that the privacy concerns being worth the cost of a “smart”-free TV means nothing to the majority of people.
You said that this isn’t true, and that their main customer is commercial places.
I suggested, in response to this, that the majority of people don’t own such commercial places.
What part are you not understanding?
Yes because the majority own/buy TV’s commercial places like offices and stadiums.
Because words have consequences. It’s not just about “snowflakes”, it’s also misinformation. Do you not remember what happened during the Covid lockdowns? Do you not remember how Trump gained power?
You are of course free to ignore everything anyone says, unfortunately many people hang onto their every word and before you know it, being trans is now considered a mental illness by a load of people who get to make decisions about what happens to trans people when they need medical care.
Which is an entirely fair compromise for people who use Lemmy, but means precisely nothing to the majority.
At only double the price of an equivalently priced smart one! Bargain /s
As well as all your points (which I 100% agree with), my other issue with these dongles is simply that they stick out way more. If I buy a pair of headphones with an angled connector, I can plug them in and wrap the wire a little bit and then when the phone’s in my pocket, the wire takes up basically no space and doesn’t get smushed about by my leg.
With a dongle, I need an extra couple inches of vertical space, and because the wire/connectors are sticking directly out the phone, they get bent all over the place. Absolutely crap design. Yes 90 degree USB-C to headphone jacks exist but they take up way more space than just a headphone jack.
