4/ โin the 2010s, Apple and Google created Advertising IDs, or AdIDs, that are assigned to each device. These are unique identifiers that, although they donโt contain a personโs phone number or name, still provide a way for the online advertising industry to track devices.โ

This.
If they told users that using a traditional payment method jeopardized anonymity in the sign up process, they may have not had data to hand over, and their peepees wouldn't have been so hurt by someone reporting on it.
They could've addressed that. But instead we get the "fake news" defense.

1953: Churchill dragged Eisenhower into ousting the democratically elected prime minister of Iran, Mosaddegh. Over oil.
2026: Netanyahu dragged Trump into War on Iran. We still donโt know why.

Why Hasnโt Trump Mentioned Iranโs Oil?
Usually he encourages the seizure of natural resources as repayment in war.
A compelling piece that asks the question without answering it. Still, it hits the pertinent historical points about Iran, USA,Trump and oil.
Attempting an answer would be interesting. @theatlantic.com

Good to know. An interesting feature of lockdown mode is it blocks 2G and 3G cell connections bc they have weak encryption. LD mode is restrictive, but good to know if needed.
I may try it to see if it reduces the noise.

It has been reported that Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times.
That is a lie.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said that when he searched for Trump in the unredacted files, Trumpโs name came up โmore than a million times.โ
We should be calling them โThe Trump Files.โ

Not-quite-a-noob here. I run a server at home, using Nginx to proxy my services (N8N, forgejo, MQTT) over SSL. Thereโs a lot of settings needed to keep it secure. I use an AI (Lumo) to help me manage it. Otherwise I wouldnโt have the skill-set to configure and manage the system.

Perhaps the Trump-administration officials had hoped that a few rabble-rousers would get violent, justifying the kind of crackdown he seems to fantasize about. Maybe they had assumed that they would find only a caricature of
"the resistance" โpeople who seethed about Trump online but would be unwilling to do anything to defend themselves against him.
Instead, what they discovered in the frozen North was something different: a real resistance, broad and organized and overwhelmingly nonviolent, the kind of movement that emerges only under sustained attacks by an oppressive state. Tens of thousands of volunteersโat the very leastโare risking their safety to defend their neighbors and their freedom. They aren't looking for attention or likes on social media. Unless they are killed by federal agents, as Pretti and Renee Good were, other activists do not even necessarily know their names. Many use a handle โฆ
If nothing else, read this.
