Got inspired to share an #UnpopularOpinion elsewhere so might as well toss it here: I’m glad we’re getting rid of headphone jacks and I never want them back.

Wires are fucking awful. They get caught on everything and tear your ears off. They always get tangled. They either awkwardly hang around your clothes or you run them down your shirt which is also weird. You’re tethered to the device and have to keep it on you at all times. Headphone jacks also = less water resistance.

Good riddance.

@chartier this is like Anakin’s sand rant but for wires. I love it.
