I like to read replies to posts like this just to remind myself how misinformed the general public is about “USB-C”
So here is a thread looking at a few of them…

REACTION: U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINEE CALLED TO INVADE NIGER
African Stream journalist Inemesit Richardson called for Africans everywhere to defend Niger following then-US congress member Matt Gaetz calling in May for Washington to invade Niger over the African state's decision to boot US troops.
Gaetz has since been nominated for attorney general by US President-elect Donald Trump. The attorney general heads the US Department of Justice and is the US government’s chief law enforcement officer.
During an August episode of 'This Week in Africa,' African Stream's livestream collaboration with @authentic_african, Richardson warned that while nothing came out of Gaetz's threats, US regime-change tactics may not be off the table for the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) confederation, made up of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. In recent years, these three countries waged successful coups d’état against Western-aligned leaders and all three have expelled French troops.
Trump's nomination of warmongers like Gaetz should give us a reason to be more vigilant.
"Enshittification" isn't just a way of describing the *symptoms* of platform decay: it's also a theory of the *mechanism* of decay - the means by which platforms get shittier and shittier until they are a giant pile of shit.

Grocers have been experimenting with "electronic shelf labels" in order to do "dynamic pricing" - that means that prices change quickly, in response to circumstances:

LOL. @StackOverflow mods are experiencing some frustration as several users have been deleting their answers since the announcement with @OpenAI partnership. As a result, they have started suspending accounts that engage in this behavior. It's important to note that the "right to forget" no longer applies to your answers, as per StackOverflow's Terms and Conditions, which grant them special permission to retain all answers. Also, restoring individual posts from backups seems hard. Lmao.
Ojo cuidado...leed esto porque es un tipo de phishing muy currado.
Cada vez pienso más que el doble favor también debería ser para las web. En plan...yo le pongo un código y me tiene que devolver ella otro para ver qué de verdad es quien dice ser. Los certificados están rotos
15. Para mí no importa únicamente qué se cuenta, muy especialmente quién las cuenta. Espero con ansía los proyectos creados por las personas de las propias comunidades. No hay que darles voz, ell_s son sus propias voces.
13. El cine tiene una gran influencia en la sociedad, sirve para crear o consolidar imaginarios, un mal referente y una mala representación puede llegar a ser muy perjudicial y dañino.
He decidido compartir parte del artículo que nunca se llegó a publicar de la película "Chinas".
Lo hago porque me he sentido con mucha soledad después de haber visto la película, así que gracias Chenta, @Gazpacho_Agri, @SusanaYuan por hablar de ello.
Empecemos por el título...
