At least base your distaste on reality. The term was born on 4chan back when it had a mostly leftist penchant (around the time the OWS movement was going off). It has nothing to do with "right wing", that's just you putting political polarization on everything.

That's genius. I was always more of a screenshot-your-desktop-then-set-it-as-wallpaper-and-hide-taskbar-and-icons kinda guy but that one is so damn subtle it probably just leads to people thinking everything works normally except that it feels ever so slightly off, but they can't put their finger on it. I like it a lot.

Which was part of my reasoning for joining there, along with the fact that I'm a dev myself so it aligns with my interests.

All I think about is how much current tooling in manufacturing is made to use those round imperial measurements, and how much it would cost to convert/change them over. That's possibly the #1 reason why the US will never go metric.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Python is strongly typed. What is is is dynamically typed, also known as "duck typing".

None of those points demand the removal of the headphone jack as a compromise.

It's still more waste. An adapter is a bigger use of materials, extra cost, and another point of failure. Hardly a sound decision for a self-proclaimed "sustainable" manufacturer.
