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.

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.

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.

How do you know it isn't now? (see: Dead-Internet Theory)

What are they expecting to happen if they attack Taiwan? They'll start the next world war. There isn't a reality where the West is going to let them have it, regardless of how effective their "precision strikes" or suicidal their lunatics are.

Journalists should be forbidden from using "blasts" in headlines.

Yeah, that "exclusivity" attitude is the worst. I welcome anyone to the fediverse! The nature of the fediverse prevents any one entity from "fucking it up", as the image claims; if you don't like an instance or the instances it federates with, move to a different one that is more in-line with your values.

This would be so easily bypassed that the whole concept, while technologically cool, is completely useless. Someone could apply a very subtle smoothing filter and then do whatever they wanted with it after via stable diffusion (or use the myriad of alternative methods to remove the "protection").

Pro-tip: you can block communities that annoy you.
