I don't get it

Or at least that is what Putin wants spread.

If there are a lot of Nazis, then, yes?

This is the right take. Well put.

For like 5 months leading up to the last American presidential election, UM was spreading anti-democrat and pro Jill Stein propaganda, while actually shilling for Trump pretty transparently. They were a troll who loved upsetting people but finally got banned for it right before the election. JordanLund, the .world mod, really seemed to be shielding the troll but it seemed like so many people wanted him banned that they finally caved and did it after he harassed users in DMs. That wasn't their first time harassing in DMs. I'd let them know they'd done the same to me more than once before that and I was basically ignored

I don't know why but my luck has been nearly opposite to yours. The only thing close I've had to your experience was I had a USBC port on my phone get dirty once and I had to clean it out. 0 actual hardware failures and very few charger problems

But it's not really a failure of the cable (typically, I know there are edge cases but I don't think I've run into them recently). In a perfect world, it possibly plugging in means it works as expected I guess, but I think it's a better tradeoff to expect users to know that some devices require a bit more power, and have a plug that still works universally. "This charger doesn't have enough power" is easy enough to be understood by a 90 yo I would think.

Chargers should be labelled with the output they provide (mine are), but you are right, devices probably should be labelled better with what they require.

Chin up, Nederlander. I don't think you're ridiculous.

People can hate all they want on USB-C with all these details that may be technically true, but the only issue I've had in years is with chargers varying in power output and occasionally that means I try to charge something that either takes forever or never charges. It's an edge case and I consider it a charger issue, not a cable one...

Life is definitely simpler now with USB-C being pretty standard, and Lightning cables can burn in hell. Those anti-standard bullshits have caused me to buy a dozen of them for friends and test devices (I'm a web dev) and yet I've never owned a mobile Apple product and never would. Fuck Lightning -- cannot possibly say it enough. I'm glad the EU agrees.

I think they got banned everywhere. I'm sure they're on alts but I've seen nothing like that troll around since.

If snide comments could read, they'd be very proud of themselves right now

Both sides are the same. Yeah, sure. Keep pushing that narrative, it's never hurt anything before except everything

Oh no, not UniversalMonk! Anyway 😉

Edit: haha you banned bitch

Except the problem is not with it being digital. I think the only issue people have is being confused about where to tap, since that is different between machines and it's not always clear. I guess I could memorize a few different common styles but again that's not related to it being digital.

Not op but ok

How's it feel to be one with evil?

Well it's not a given unless you're cynical. Which I am now :/

WWIII is my guess. But whatever it is, it will almost certainly be our own doing. We're in much more of a hurry than nature is

Someday I'm gonna check out NixOS

I have had somewhat similar experiences at times, but not as bad as yours I think. My worst one was this woman who kept claiming to almost have arrived as I stood outside in below-freezing temperatures for over 20 minutes to give her free stuff.

Finally left the item on the sidewalk and went inside. 40 minutes later she sent a text thanking me for it. I don't understand why she lied over and over about her location. So stupid and inconsiderate.
