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

    Or we could just have quality standards and price controls so that regular people can afford decent headphones that don't break all the time whether they prefer wired or wireless 🤷

    And a worldwide ban on child labor, of course.

    Don’t fool yourself. Slave labor of children is not exclusive to batteries. They make most of the world’s textiles, for example.

    Did I give you the impression I was fooling myself, or were you just speaking to the wider audience?
