I'd like to see a community for TV/Streaming Series like /r/television. There are several atm but none is very active.

I found the quote interesting. Is the source material bad? How so?

It's made of plastic.

Aren't those acually useless when trying to determine the quality of water?

I've been looking for exactly the same thing. Sadly most filters I found are made of plastic, which I find outrageous.

I have a hot take on this one. I actively try not to. I disagree with the concept itself.
When it comes to buying their art, why would I do that if I don't like the artist, why would I support them that way?
When it comes to seeing their art as their ideas/ideology/etc, if I don't like them I probably don't exactly because I disagree with their ideas, so again it doesn't make sense to me.

Do you disagree with those statements? Do you need to see evidence before you’ll believe them?\

I disagree with them.
Higher life expectancy - I wouldn't attribute that to capitalism. Further more life expectancy in the US is declining afaik.
Less war - What do you mean? There's a war in Ukraine, one in Palestine, and there's been perpetual war since ...forever. The US war machine always bombs some country, assassinates a democratically elected leader, etc.
Better quality of life - For the 1% at the expense of all the others maybe.

Capitalism is all about profits, not about better products, better quality of life, etc. In fact it's easily against those things if they get in the way of profit. You can see enshittification everywhere.
For example it would be against their interest for a pharmaceutical company to sell the permanent cure for a disease instead of life-long medical treatment. The latter would be subscription-based therefore create more profit. The cancer comparison is quite fitting imo.

It's cancer and it's killing us all.

We're not talking about the same thing here. First off a large jack to small jack adapter would be needed in rare circumstances, if you happen to use a pair of headphones that only uses a large jack with a small device like a phone, which obviously only has a small one.
That whole large jack discussion was started because of the quote from Wikipedia I posted, where they mention just how old the jack is. I'm guessing you haven't read the rest of the comments since you brought it up?

2nd of all a jack adapter is just "wire", it's passive ( doesn't have any circuitry), and doesn't require any support.
For a dongle type of adapter that's quite different. Software and hardware and compatibility come into play.
Lots of dongles have a DAC built into them which is separate from the phone DAC. It's duplicating something you already have, and if your phone has a good one buit into it (which it should), the flimsy dongle most probably has a very cheap one.
I have a dongle and it only works if I plug it in before taking calls. If I already answer and then use the dongle the sound won't work out of the headphones so it's useless...
