The default messaging apps on iPhone is iMessage. It’s locked down and can not communicate with any other messaging app except via SMS. Therefore the other apps have to use it to communicate with iPhone users, who you will never, ever convince to download a third party messaging app
One other thing is that none of the third party messaging apps can even use SMS. iOS is designed so that only Apple can use SMS.

Two Israeli officials said the Israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of a new proposal for a hostage deal, which are different from past aspects of deals rejected by Hamas and more forward-leaning than previous Israeli proposals.
This stuff really doesn’t happen that quickly.
They have sold two ‘tiers’ of kindles for awhile, the one with ads on the lock screen is discounted.
It’s not my favorite thing but iirc the lock screen is supposed to be the only place with ads.

It’s a quote from the linked article.
By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation. Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed. Hamas fighters who burst into Israel on October 7th and killed almost 1,200 Israelis (and other nationalities) were carrying out the letter of their genocidal law.
This doesn’t seem like it would take a lot of research but it might be the first time I’ve heard about this charter.
It wasn’t?

The trauma experienced by hundreds of thousands of children and their parents in Gaza will also have long-term debilitating effects, psychiatrists and psychologists have warned, particularly as there are no therapeutic facilities left. Few of Gaza’s hospitals are functioning any more, even for operating on the severely injured.
With an estimated 8,000 children killed in Gaza, and many tens of thousands more injured and orphaned, the UN children’s fund has said the Gaza Strip is “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child”.

It’s from the earlier days of computing/portable devices where almost nothing had the sort of inter-connectivity we take for granted.
You’d download apps or music onto your PC and then ‘sideload’ them onto your PDA or MP3 players.
Sometimes this required both proprietary cables and software. (This is why some of us still get excited by simple USB ports)
If you want the in-depth customization that only flashing from the boot loader level allows, you’ll want to prioritize phones that allow that.
Pixel is usually on the top of most people’s heads because even if other phones can have their boot loader unlocked, actual support is a crap shoot.
It’s mostly up to which manufacturers allow boot loader unlocking.
The pixels are somewhat a continuation of the nexus line which were more developer centric.
Having the right cartridge available without trying to find a shop selling them is.
One of the obstacles in this is if your printer only takes a single brand of ink.
I usually just order ink, but it’s not too hard to find ones compatible with my brother in a store if I need one immediately.
There’s basically no comparison between the bloatware on Samsung and Pixel.
I felt most annoying prompts and notifications with the Pixel were solvable where Samsung is a constant battle.
And then the alarms don’t seem to go off reliably.
It seemed to be just a 5 second wait.
The weird part is that changing user agent to chrome seems to avoid it.
One source with knowledge of the talks, which slowed after the Israeli ground invasion, said a central point of discussion was a demand by the Israeli side for Hamas to provide a full list specifying the name and details of each person held in Gaza. The Israeli side was unwilling to cease bombardments without receiving this list.
Hamas responded that it was unable to provide the list without a pause in the fighting, as the estimated 240 hostages were held by a number of different groups in places across Gaza. That suggested even Hamas leaders do not know for sure how many people are held captive, their locations or the number who have survived the bombardments.
There’s a lot of conflicting information from the sources in this story though.
Presumably parts of Russia is of strategic importance, being where they come.
Not all battles are about taking land.
Getting banned by a bot and having to beg somebody to actually read what you posted is an experience.
Their current solution illegally crosses the border itself.
I suppose it’s possible to build a system that would let you specifically allow a VPN IP to be green-listed on your account, but you’d probably have to allow it by signing in from a known good IP first.
I think it seems like lot of work for something that isn’t really private and is still probably vulnerable to exploit.
