In the West Bank, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is the key player and just like Hamas, it is a reliable source of information (coughing, hospital bombing).

It depends on whom you’re asking this question. I think different people have varying preferences based on their needs and circumstances:

If someone wants to access streaming content that’s geographically locked, they would typically choose servers located in that specific territory. In democratic countries, the server choice often revolves around two key factors: speed and anonymity. Users may either select their home country for the fastest connection or opt for a country in the EU, which is not part of the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance, to prioritize anonymity.

However, the perspective changes when you ask this question from someone living in countries like Iran, China, or other dictatorships. In such places, users usually prioritize connecting to any server that offers a reliable and fast link to the free world.

Personally, I used to live in a country with an authoritarian regime, and back then, my primary concern was accessing the internet. Hence, I didn’t pay much attention to factors like the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance. However, now that I live in Canada, I consider a broader range of metrics when choosing a VPN server.

This is beyond stupid.

The thing is that it can’t be a ceasefire until Hamas frees all the hostages. And even then, there is no guarantee that there won’t be another terrorist attack.

Blindly accepting the claims of a terrorist organization is the new norm apparently.

Why 700? Why not 701 or 698?! Gaza is controlled by Hamas. Gaza’s authorities are Hamas. Everything they say is blatantly false and only serves their purpose, which is to annihilate anyone who is not a Muslim. The fact that so-called news agencies use them as a source highlights the issues with the media in this day and age.

Now, those of us who don’t have a Fold or the tablet have to wait and see when Google plans to bring it to other Pixel devices in the future. Also, I hope that frog is still there!

Faced the same error on Authy and ended up disabling 2FA for now.

Mastodon is so confusing to use, and almost none of the people I know use it. Even a few who joined after my recommendation have stopped using it. I’m not sure what type of user Mastodon is targeting, but they have certainly failed to attract long-time Twitter users like myself. On the other hand, Lemmy has the potential to become a refuge for ex-Redditors, especially after today’s AMAs by Reddit’s CEO.

Thanks! I will give Tusky a try then.

That’s absolutely true. I mean we can’t even search for a word on that platform. It’s so ridiculous that only hashtags, usernames, or URLs can be looked up!

Yep, Same here! When things went south with Twitter, I tried switching to Mastodon, but after several months, I haven’t become fond of it. Its interface is so terrible and difficult to navigate. When I heard of Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit, the first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Oh, please don’t be like Mastodon…’ and I’m glad that it is not! I like the fact that it is kinda’ similar to Reddit (interface-wise), but at the same time, it is decentralized, which means it is (hopefully) going in the right direction.
