Yeah, there's areas where it's surprisingly hard for laypeople to tell apart "mostly useless" and "saves lives on a daily basis".

"It's not piracy, it's federated backups!"

And they do. My Philips TV didn't even ask for DNS until hardcoded IPs for Netflix et al. timed out. And when it did, it asked Google, not my router.

It's kinda funny, though: the Overton window shofted so far to the right we're at a point where both parties pin the blame for everything wrong in America on foreigners.

Forgot to shuffle accounts around, I guess.

IDK, FRY was de facto kicked out of the UN in 1992.

Consider it backwards: Israel sees this attack happening so valuable, that they were willing to forego using the pagers for spying.

Nah, see,, some people would like to return to the time when saying "terrorist" would get people foaming at the mouth and approve whatever the military wants.

Palestine is actually an interesting A/B test: you have Gaza, that is resisting, and West Bank, that is collaborating, and you can compare the results:

  • Gaza is being subjected to periodical flare-ups of genocide, causing much consternation in the world media, and despite the world governments largely continuing to back Israel, the sheer mask-off nature of the violence seems to have caused the public opinion to shift.

  • West Bank is being subjected to constant low level ethnic cleansing, disposession, and removal. There are occasional pogroms, but overall it's been quiet and ignorable. Consequently, most people forget they even exist, and those that do can get away with "hoping for peace", thoughts-and-prayers style, as the removal continues.

You be the judge.

"Iran made me do a genocide" is certainly a take. One of the most takes of all time, even.

Yeah, only notification notification I ever see is when I send tabs from my PC.
