> Surprisingly, there isn't a headphone jack, which seems like something Fairphone's demographic would really have wanted. Wired headphones last indefinitely, while Bluetooth buds turn into garbage after a few years when the batteries die.
Every wired headphones I've had started to break down after a year or so, including ones with a detachable cable.
BT headphones are much more reliable. If you buy something like the Sony's you can probably get replacement batteries.
> I see all these calls for "cancel rent", as if housing grows on trees and landlords are all some kind of Ebenezer stereotype, instead of being a lot of small-time folk just trying to get by.

Seems like making a fuss about nothing.
> How are we still ok with this shit?
We're ok with a lot of shit. I think if we were to make a list of shit this would rank pretty low.
> People need and want something like that to exist where they have complete control over their assets without any worries about government or institutions.
The government can always just make a law and take whatever it wants from you (or imprison you). Doesn't matter if it's from a bank account or bitcoin cold storage on planet Musk.

"In 1994, the most recent year for which published data are available, an estimated 4.7 million dog bites occurred in the United States, and approximately 799,700 persons required medical care (1).
