No, definitely it is not a requirement for a charging cable. But I usually carry with me:

• 1 USB-A - microUSB
• 1 USB-A - USB-C
• 1 USB-C - USB-C

And it is important that the double USB-C supports USB 4.0 / Thunderbolt 4

Those reasons got people to install it and get accustomed to it. I am sure that students still use it.

Are you based in France? I doubt it is any popular elsewhere.

They all are shit, it’s the most convenient business model.
The most “humane” is Hinge, in my opinion, but has been bought by Match Group few years ago, also owner of Tinder.

The market is already taken by Satispay.

Signal is a necessary compromise, because you can actually get other people to use it.

I have tried with XMPP, Matrix, Jami, and finally settled on pure SMS with the people closer to me… it’s not encrypted in any way, and I even pay to text most of my friends in other EU countries, but it’s at least sort of decentralised, and works in unfavorable conditions (areas with 2G coverage).

For groups, I prefer Signal.

I recommend some formatting for your comments. Few will read them, otherwise.

Do you use Affinity on Linux Mint?

recable only supports USB 2.0. Of course it doesn’t matter for charging, but for data transfer it does.
