Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
Edward Snowden remarked:
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
There is a wikipedia article regarding this argument

No, if the clamp-mechanism breaks, you habe to replace the connector on the phone while with UsbC you only have to use a different cable.

There is physical connections between devices. The pins that make electrical contact. There are 24 on UsbC and 8 on lightning making a lot more things possible.
Also there are structural benifits. Lightning connectors are held in by the device which makes replacing the clamp a lot more difficult than just switching the cable like UsbC, where that mechanism is inside the cable.
And last but not least is Usb an open protocol while you would have to pay Apple if you wanted to implement Lightning.

Yes, but what if the mouse could stop its charging cycle depending on its use, so it does not damage its battery. Or what if users could change the function of the power button to an short-press for sleep-button and long-press for power off.
There are better ways to change peoples habits while still maintaining basic functionallities.

When starting Firefox with the command line, you can specify the profile you want to open with -P
So firefox -P "Joel User" starts the profile 'Joel User'.

Nein, ab jetzt kommen sie mit falsch implementiertem USB-C. Damit der nähmlich mit USB-C-zu-C Kabel funktionieren, braucht der nämlich Zusatzkonfiguration. Ohne die geht das Laden dann nur mit USB-A-zu-C und das nervt.

Apple to request US Supreme Court to reverse App Store ruling in Epic Games Case
Reply in thread
I get your point, but third-party app stores are optional. You can still only download apps from THE App Store.
And I get what you mean, when it comes to the longevity of devices. I feel like this will change in the future, but time will tell.

I also used iPhones for a long time until I had to switch to a temporary phone due to age-related hardware malfunction. Out of curiosity, I tried /e/ OS and was very pleasantly surprised.
The temporary phone is now in use for at least a year and I also get to enjoy other extraordinary features like USB-C and a headphone-jack. In the future, I may also give LineageOS a try.
