Talking in a thread about this, I figure I should make a post for wider awareness.

USB-C extension cables are out-of-spec, and could potentially cause unexpected behaviour or damage connected equipment.

You can get active extensions that are ‘in-spec’, but that’s because they’re technically a one-port hub.

Anyway, I can’t tell you what to do, but you probably shouldn’t be using those extensions with anything you care about, or anything expensive.

You especially shouldn’t use them with anything for USB-C PD (Power Delivery)/charging.

Med tanke på att extremt många konton på X är botar eller betald rysk desinformation, så vore en lämplig åtgärd att regeringen gör en total x-odus.

@pluralistic So this happened in Australia. And you know why? It's because we have Unions.

I always wince a little when I see graphs and charts on the homepage of some news outlet, but this one was really well done and conveyed a lot of interesting and timely information in very few words.

Just 6 years after “The First #Thanksgiving” meal, Thomas Morton founded the controversial colony of Merrymount, described as a “school of athesim” and home to the “beastly practices of the mad Bacchanalians”.

... Continuing with who's in the Anthropic settlement and should claim their $$$:

@naomialderman @lmorchard, and @rebeccablood, JJG's in there.

I'm betting @scalzi, @georgetakei, @rbreich, @violetblue, @gleick
are already all over this, but just in case, y'all have books in the settlement too.

Really brings home just how huge an act of thievery this scraping was.

So we’ve rolled out an unsafe tool to untrained users and now are suggesting yet another tool to protect users from the unsafe tool?

Seriously - am *I* the crazy one?

@TheBreadmonkey I just considered replying to this in Welsh since I know you sometimes translate my toots and I assume apologists for millionaires wouldn’t bother, but it felt a bit weird to literally do that thing that people say we do and talk about someone in Welsh so here’s a video about that instead https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ5DzMmBuwQ
