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.
Pretty much no issues at this point. In fact, in some ways I feel NVIDIA has done better than AMD recently.
A better question would be, why do domains cost so much.
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.”
Doesn’t bother me either. I honestly didn’t know spicy food making people shit was a thing. I always thought it was shitty food that caused spicy diarrhea.
Even bezo’s head took on the resemblance of the prick he is.
I wasn’t expecting to find a whole conspiracy while trying to fix my Deck, perhaps the memo is a hoax or something, but this all just lines up so naturally.
My experience is that it is intentional, just like countless other examples of monopolistic anti-competition behavior. Especially with gaming, where a duopoly of video card manufacturers has spent the last several years intentionally crippling virtual GPU support on consumer-grade hardware. There are many others to blame though since Windows is designed to collect as much telemetry as possible, making it near impossible to fully disable its collection. There are entire forensic analysis toolkits dedicated to the troves of data that Windows stores on nearly every activity you perform. So while Microsoft’s actions may clearly violate antitrust legislation, the intelligence agencies saw Microsoft as their biggest ally & worked to help them maintain the status quo.
No you’re not wrong for wanting to keep your dad in your life. Any reputable family counselor would say your mom shouldn’t be asking you to pick a side. Your mom does need support though, but it isn’t your job. What your dad did sounds really hurtful to her, as it would be for most people. Maybe he is your best friend, but being a parent is more than being a friend. It means being a role model & wanting to teach things like honesty & respect, especially for the people you’re supposed to love.
Has your dad offered to pay for counseling for you to process these things & talk to a professional about? It sounds like you could probably use it. I don’t know how old you are, but given that you’re asking the question here & the way you’re asking leads me to believe you’d be much better off talking to a professional about it.
You just made my pirate leg a foot longer
Siyuan is prob the easiest based on what you’re looking for.
I don’t want to rain on your parade, but to claim you’re a Discord alternative is like saying a box is a an alternative to a luxury resort. You’ve got a lot of work to do before being a Discord alternative.
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:

“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?
So basically, “just cause she’s scared & telling me she doesn’t want it, doesn’t mean she doesn’t really want it.”
You continued to roll weed in someone’s car so scared they didn’t even want to stop driving & then blame them afterwards? Wtf, they deserve better.
In America, the Christian right are known for using USPS, cable television, and their Ford F-150s to recruit fighters.
At least KDE is working on making their Qt apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.
