And yet they were perfectly okay with providing the service for free while they were still busy starving off the competition. No tears for Google shall be shed here.

The USB-C (female) adapters are hard to find due to technically being non-compliant. If you're interested about the reasons and some further context, I can recommend this article: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/27/all-about-usb-c-illegal-adapters/

In your specific case, it's twice as hard to find such an adapter due to MiniUSB being so uncommon these days.

Sounds like the current law, except for the last point. The problem is with enforcing compliance.

Do you have any links to articles on such cases? I'm interested in reading more about it.

"Yes" in this case is agreeing with the cause of this list.

I mean, what do you expect from Fedipact? The dev doesn't push anything onto you, you willingly visit a list that got created for the very purpose of going against Threads. There is no hidden agenda.

I don't know, it sounds like the definition of a business man. Not one I'd admire, but not unlike lots of other business men.

I'm pretty sure the same operation without Git (or another VCS) would be infinitely more troublesome, not less.
