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.

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.

And that's not even mentioning that he's not a supreme court justice!

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

He was talking to Meta before they announced Threads and he signed an NDA. I strongly agree with @CCL@links.hackliberty.org's opinion that the recent popularity Mastodon has enjoyed has gone to his head.

Put plainly, I don't trust him at all.

On the Lemmy settings page, there is a Languages option with a warning that says:

Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

However, as you can see from the picture, I do not have any option besides English:

Is there a way to add Languages to this list? Am I missing most content, like the warning suggests?

I have mixed feelings about measuring their wealth based on share prices because they couldn't sell their shares without tanking the price, right? Elon didn't actually increase his wealth; just the value of something that he has a shitton of went up.

We could also tank the value of his stocks by not buying or using his stupid shit!. For example, anyone angry that he is rich should definitely not be using Twitter.

"Eat the rich"... blah blah blah. Much easier to just protest the rich and take our money back by not giving it or our time to the rich in the first place.
