Every one of the phones I use (Poco X5 Pro running crDroid, Poco X3 NFC & OnePlus N10 5g running Ubuntu Touch), plus the phones I got for my wife & kiddo (Motorola Moto G Stylus, Redmi Note 7) have headphone jacks. The option is still there if you want it, you just need to seek it out.
There is a heckuva lot to be said for the classic "start" category based app menu, tied to a task bar. XFCE, MATE, OpenBox, all draw from a paradigm established in the Windows 95 design.
Well, history gives us tons of examples of what happens when central currency collapses, and in full devaluations the fewer people with more immediate access to goods, collaborating associates, and weapons, are able to establish gangs, mafias, militias, or organizations that in the vast majority of cases are hierarchal in nature, eventually forming in service around a boss, often in a paradigm driven by cult of personality. Thus true anarchy is a fragile and usually short lived situation, with power vacuums soon filled with competing micro-governments, of which usually one then coallesces to take a monopoly of force over a specific region.
Lol, when I wrote "fictional film" I meant that it's a real work of cinema that tells a fictional story, as opposed to a documentary. Guess I phrased that in a way that might be confusing.
This is an altered photo made from a screen shot from a scene in "American History X" - a fictional film from 1998 starring Ed Norton that centers around a neo-Nazi gang.
To be more accurate: Telegram is totally unecrypted by default, unless one chooses to enter a "secret chat", in which case you use its proprietary encryption. As such its better suited for public group chats and not for anything that needs to critical privacy, but to say it has zero encryption options is not correct.
As for "Russian", while its CEO was born in Russia, and made his cash to initially fund it from the Russian social media VK, he has lived outside of Russia for a decade now, and Telegram is head quartered in the United Arab Emirates, with servers installed globally.
I own a MacMini M4 and in contrast to your assertion there have been plenty of times I have fully shut down my Mac, or needed to access the bottom button (not just for powering up, but also for needing to access administrative level for certain app or hardware driver installs). I am glad it's not something you have ever needed, but regardless, it remains an inherently poor design choice.
The M chips have been a truly impressive innovation. But on so many other levels Apple under Cook has just been resting on laurels - including putting out absurd industrial design faux pas's like placing charging ports on the bottom of mice, or power buttons on the bottom of MacMinis, as well as deliberately making so many of their products close to impossible to repair. And on a software level Apple is a total mediocrity, I've never encountered a worst file manager for a current OS than when I use MacOS for work (professional audio production) & iOS for my kiddo's iPad. Somehow those flaws haven't prevented its massive financial success with their cult, but that seems to go with the times these days.

That advice worked into the 1990's, and even some in the 00's (at least in my GenXer direct experience). But it ain't working now, that's for sure.
Neither. Either get a used Pixel supported by Graphene on the second hand marketplaces, or flash whatever other device you have already with a degoogled AOSP ROM (e.g. crDroid, Lineage, /e/, Iode), or alternative mobile OS (Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish, Droidian, Mobian, Plasma Mobilrle, PostMarketOS) that is compatible with it.
The USA certainly has rotting infrastructure additionally suffering from slow construction times, and inflated costs with bloated contracts going to feed leeches at the "top" of our trickle-up chain.
But the claim "Iran got all their bridges fixed" needs citation and sounds like some made up bs - it's very likely they repaired some of them, but the Iranian people have been suffering from massive bombardments for months, as well as decades of sanctions, and earthquake on top of this, so doubtful they have repaired most of what has been damaged, let alone all.
