Most people into Privacy, either stumbled upon the niche or work(ed) in some IT or related field. Have tried talking to the family, they are in denial or do not care. Or think that using WhatsApp is a wise choice and/or they are immune to ads. Somehow. It's like talking to a goat who has more desire for habit over sense.

I remember playing with Google Now, thinking it 'neat' and then within seconds realizing that in order for it to work optimally meant giving Google everything. It got me to root my phone and removed Goople Play Services and/or different ROMs. Today, I do not use Google for anything or use front-ends with a VPN or if ever really needed, Tor.

Organic maps or OSMAnd. Plus, I find these two better for cycling and hiking, over Gmaps. If you must use Gmaps briefly, then GMaps WV from F-Droid.

You are really proving his point, eh? Or are you being silly and trolling him? I seriously cannot tell.

I do not know about you guys, but you know, this issue keeps me awake at nights.

You know, people can actually stop using most of these apps if they really wanted to. At will.

In fairness, this was always the case. But if you said this, back in 2022, NPCs who could not even find Ukraine on a map weeks prior, would call you a "Putin puppet." Regardless of valid points or reasoning.

Not the first time the USA has done this, the war on Iraq, twice, or the decades long Operation Condor, just name some examples.

Not just 'military cooperation,' all diplomatic contact. Asked them to close their military bases/outposts and to leave the country.

Internet without full on uBlock Origin is crazy full of ads.

Can trees or weeds be "anti-semetic" because they might grow on some Jew's backyard? What about snow? Can snow be anti-semetic because said Jew dislikes having to shove snow? Can Nature iself be anti-semetic according to this Logic, argued by the Israeli government?

For children, surely top 5. Rwanda and Yemen, the USA's caused deaths in Iraq due to the power vacuum they created are higher though.

And as they should. This myopia towards the war crimes the IDF and the Israeli government are doing has got to stop. Many Israelis over there agree. The Western media just ain't covering it.

Bibi fucked up and he is trying to save himself by going big and trying to remove the Gazans from their land. Hoping it will save him down the road. Let's not forget that he is facing some serious issues and allegations at home.

Ain't that illegal?

That's rich of them to say when not only the UN helped form the country in the 40's and that Israel has the largest number of Resolutions from the UN as they continuously go on breaking international Law. Due to their blatant illegal occupation.

Yet they will come begging for money and weapons to the world and the USA once they eventually run out. Problem is that countries give in too easily.

Also, read somewhere else that they are going to be using nerve gas to kill Hamas. No attempt at a peaceful resolution. Fuck that, just gas them. I have removed family members who are borderline cultish in their blind support for the IDF and they are horrible to be around when they get on that topic. No nuance, they just repeat all the talking points. Over and over. Just pure myopia.

If you can, watch the documentary the Lobby. To see how Israel tries to undermine governments for support. In that case the UK.
