A few years ago I was on team keep the jack but at this point it’s not as necessary. USB C headphones exist, wireless headphones have gotten quite good, and if you use one pair of 3.5mm headphones if you keep a dongle on it it’s really not that inconvenient.
This is kinda driving me mad. I would also like to know if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s by design.
You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage.
You have to worry about it yourself though.
I should say that Reddit without RES would probably be much closer to what I’m seeing on Lemmy now.
Why? It’s a less mature platform with less features and not enough content. I get the idea of it being attractive but it’s like Mastadon without the content you’ve got an uphill climb.
No less than $899 for the Pro I wouldn’t be shocked if it went up to $949 or $999.
