iptables on my laptop (not tethered, but using the phone's wifi hotspot). I don't even have a jailbroken android phone anymore because my banking app stopped working on custom ROMs and fighting with it wasn't a good use of my time.
This is correct. I pay for the unlimited plan with Verizon, but it only has 5GB of hotspot data. I use an iptables rule to increment the TTL by one, giving me unlimited data on my laptop.
T-Mobile used to work the same way when I used it back in 2016.
All propaganda is not good, but I'd say that Chinese-brand propaganda is fierce. I make an attempt to get news from sources outside the States because our propaganda is pretty lame as well. I should learn more about Taiwan history, though. Can anyone recommend a good book about it?
Aaaahh, gotcha. Good advice, thanks. 👍
Why are you mad at me? It isn't my choice. You make some good points/observations, but I won't respond to each of them because the fact of the matter is that the US will not sit by and watch Taiwan be "reintegrated" (again, not my choice; just a fact).
I would say that suicide is not patriotic to anyone. Why do Chinese supporters always resort to whataboutism, anyway? Shitty behavior is shitty behavior, regardless.
The PRC has never owned Taiwan. Also, it doesn't matter about the ethnicity of the population because, at the end of the day, they don't want to be part of China.
What does this even mean? You're comparing cats and dogs in an attempt to justify PRC's warrantless claim to an island they've never owned in modern history.
Yup, the military industrial complex is so screwed up.
Taiwan presents a tricky and strange situation. All I'm saying is that I really do not think that the US would sit back and watch China invade without doing anything.
Officially. That's just political framing to keep China from going ape-shit. Unofficially, though... see the Six Assurances.
I see what you're saying, but it is really easy to drum up support, especially with how effective the media has become at manipulating public opinion. I've seen the US go to war over much less in my life.
Suicide isn't patriotic. And it isn't a Chinese island; that's the point. It's a democratic, independent country that happens to be a US ally.
On the Lemmy settings page, there is a Languages option with a warning that says:
Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.
However, as you can see from the picture, I do not have any option besides English: 
Is there a way to add Languages to this list? Am I missing most content, like the warning suggests?
Same thing just happened with IVPN :-\
