Yup. Did specifically say that I was missing tons of stuff in that super short summary of the formation of Israel. Also left out the Balfour declaration, the White Paper of 1939, the Buraq uprising, the Black Hand, Lehi and their attempted alliance with Nazi Germany, and much much more.

Short version is that in WW1, the UK conquered Palestine from the Ottoman empire. 1922-1948, the British ran the territory, getting shot at regularly by both native Arabs, the tiny number of native Jews, and the comparatively much larger group of immigrant Jews. In the 1940s, the UK asked for and got US help with counterterrorist operations, especially against Jewish ones. Arabs and Jews pinky promised to play nice with each other if the UK left, so rather than continue getting shot by everyone in the region, they left. Arabs and Jews immediately started a war as soon as the UK army left. Then, every single neighbouring country attacked the newly formed Israel, which they somehow survived.
(Missing HUGE amounts of context and nuance here, obviously)
Read their comment and I'm left scratching my head. Their role in security with the straight android phone (not the /e/OS version) is simply pushing security patches as/when they get them from the Android team, as they're using straight Android. Security is handled by Google for Android, not them. When it comes to /e/OS, no idea how good/bad it is, but apparently Graphene has some beef with Murena (the people who make it), at least according to their comment.
Not at all knowledgable about mobile kernels and drivers to comment on the rest of it. I do know Fairphone 5 uses an unusual CPU normally used for SoC as that was the only CPU that was both good enough to run Android reasonably while simultaneously providing very long-term driver updates (they're aiming for a minimum of 8 years of updates).
If you're in Europe, Fairphone is an option. I'm pretty happy with mine.
For one, the goblins who run the bank are directly modelled off of antisemitic stereotypes, even down to copying antisemitic fascist caricatures for their models in the movies.
Ground floor apartment here. Winter is hell, the storage area in the basement below us is unheated, so the apartment feels like Siberia. Summer is glorious though, nice and cool even in the middle of the most brutal heatwave.
Oh look, company scrip.
If you're interested, the short version is that instances (A.K.A servers) are run by different people in different places. A reason to move instances might be:
-
My admin, the owner of the instance, has been doing things I heavily disagree with (bans, blocks, etc)
-
I don't agree with the rules on my instance.
-
The instance is run in a country which criminalizes something that I care about, and so has to ban discussion of that thing (piracy, porn, etc).
-
I want to run a community on a specific instance for whatever reason, and so need an account there
This is what underfunding education for decades and TikTok does to a country. Romania has the highest number of TikTok users per capita in Europe.
It applies to instances outside Romania if the user is Romanian in Romania. There are no major social media companies based in Romania, and yet the law still applies on TikTok, Facebook, X, etc.
The fact that the law is selectively applied against one side but not the other is a different issue.

One of the 3 closest EU major international airports. Other 2 are in Greece and Bulgaria. Not sure exactly why Romania and not Greece or Bulgaria, but it is a logical choice.
