More and more I see incentivized tweets verified through the scraper route. I imagine tweet postings will similarly go through a more brittle bot based route. The advantages of an open and easy to use API are to avoid these hackish solution

So many companies are insisting on adding the extra vulnerability of sim-swapping. I imagine on the aggregate level there might be less fraud? Or is it just the need to harvest more and more data? The way things are going, I wouldn't b

I've never been able to produce consistent results with these DIY home roasting methods. We only attempted it because someone was gifting us green coffee beans. Overall it seems like more trouble than it is worth, even with free beans

This is exactly the kind of English usage I see in content produced by some of those countries. Even on packaging, I find these errors. The worst is in adverts for English language education programs.

I'm not a mind reader so it is hard to identify their POV, but it matches a popular brand of political sloganeering. In the context of depression, I think it is may be easier for people to project their unhappiness upon these faraway a
