I wouldn’t trust them to not randomly enable WiFi, but you can also use their modem but disable any built in WiFi on it & still use your own router. ISPs continue to try to bundle their modem & router, which gives them complete access to your home network. Some lucky people have found fiber providers that let them use their own SFP.

They’re referring to all the subsidized bureaucratic closed-source monopoly-spyware that they force you to buy for NSA-purposes.

Hm, let’s not forget this gem:

The government also wants you to believe that Hamas is running AI bot farms with fiber ethernet under all that ruble. But what they don’t warn you about:

I think the appropriate headline should be:

“Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3.”

I have a Premium subscription, but I can give you an even bigger reason to never use YouTube. They actively push brain rot in their search. No matter what words I use to search for something, it is almost always the same results. Looking for nostalgic videos from the 90s? YT: “Here is the most recent brain rot on the Internet.”

You just made my pirate leg a foot longer

Siyuan is prob the easiest based on what you’re looking for.

With all non-due respect, you’re being dishonest & disingenuous.

Your first link is from 2018 titled, “A Day, a Life: When a Medic Was Killed in Gaza, Was It an Accident?” I’ll quote from the article:

“An investigation by The New York Times found that Ms. Najjar, and what happened on the evening of June 1, were far more complicated than either narrative allowed… The Palestinians trying to tear down the fence are risking their lives to make a point, knowing that the protests amount to little more than a public relations stunt…”

Now let’s see if they question Israel’s narratives the same way?

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/technology/israel-hamas-information-war.html

Titled “In a Worldwide War of Words, Russia, China and Iran Back Hamas” and I quote:

“Iran, Russia and, to a lesser degree, China have used state media and the world’s major social networking platforms to support Hamas and undercut Israel, while denigrating Israel’s principal ally, the United States… Cyabra has documented at least 40,000 bots or inauthentic accounts online since Hamas attacked Israel from Gaza on Oct. 7. The content — visceral, emotionally charged, politically slanted and often false — has stoked anger and even violence far beyond Gaza, raising fears that it could inflame a wider conflict.”

This is an opinion piece, right up there alongside:

Where is the investigation? This is a video that wasn’t even taken by NYT. Regardless, for every 10 Israeli propaganda article, maybe one or two being slightly critical doesn’t mean jack shit.

Let’s look at this recent story:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/us/pro-palestinian-movement-embassy-attack.html

“The slaying of two Israeli Embassy workers cast a harsh spotlight on pro-Palestinian groups in the United States…”

People are just now waking up to realize a pro genocide & pro wealth disparity publication isn’t moral?

When the courts have shown multiple times that they no longer care about the constitution. Right now we have the Supreme Court ruling against the Trump admin’s illegal deportations. Unfortunately it takes time for the process to play out. I am optimistic that the courts will for now maintain the checks & balances. The courts are the strongest protection against Trump’s authoritarian attempts.

I didn’t say not to draw a line. I just said I was opposed to sabbatoge for the time being. There are lots of other things you can do right now to work towards restoring diplomacy.

I’ve been saying this for such a long time, the tech industry needs unions. It also needs crowd sourced legal assistance as well because it isn’t going to be easy. They’ll fire of course at first despite being illegal, then they’ll want migrants that they can threaten with deportation if they don’t comply. Even if Trump goes away, unions will be necessary to keep corporations accountable.

Although I don’t support sabotage for the time being & strongly oppose it in almost every way. It isn’t just risky, but I feel many times it ends up legitimizing the groups you’re trying to protect others from. I feel it would make matters substantially worse before the potential of making things better, but at that point you may have just invited the next generation of fascism to use your actions to justify theirs.

Because Apple people are in a cult.
