Any short term "forced" cohesion they build internally is now actually sowing the seeds of deeper long term fractures.

Why doesn't google lock their bootloader? It's a testing device for other companies?
Fairphone4 qualcom no longer updates it's drivers. Might as well be walking around with free access to your phone.
Low battery?
.99 centers to unlock 10 percent battery boost.
The Israelis are building long term insecurities for their nation state. Imagine a world in the which the USA isn't the global hegemonic power. Imagine American for one reason or another decide they can no longer support Israel?
Building peaceful relations with diverse neighbors is the foundation for long term security. Genocidal mania in an attempt to broaden the borders, is the breeding ground for future terror.
Israel is laying the groundwork, the building blocks, for long term insecurity. Not security.
If one thinks extremism equates to well adjusted humans, economically thriving and flourishing societies I've got another populist candidate to sell you.
Third is the best. It gets better and better imo
Sure sure, is it a sound, decentralized bottom up monetary network built by the people for the people on cryptography rails on an uncensorable network?
Fear Peter Thiel and his gangbuster crew of excel homies and consultants 😂
Don't get me wrong, they're enablers of authoritarianists, but let's not give them too much credit. Magic? 🫧🧐🪠
"If you’ve noticed Anna’s Archive being down or glitchy this past week, here’s what’s probably going on behind the scenes.
Big academic publishers like Elsevier and Springer Nature have been stepping up legal actions against shadow libraries, including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, Libgen, and even SLUM (the uptime monitor).
They got a DMCA subpoena from a U.S. federal court that forces Cloudflare—who a lot of these sites use for CDN and protection—to hand over info on who runs these sites.
This is part of their plan to find and go after the people behind these libraries. Cloudflare doesn’t actually host any content, but since they help keep these sites online, targeting them is a way to put pressure on the whole operation.
So if Anna’s Archive has been unstable or offline, this legal pressure is probably why. It’s also a sign the fight over these sites is heating up, and whether the sites stay up depends on how well the people behind them can adapt—like switching domains or infrastructure.
Before the subpoena, publishers also asked Cloudflare to just block the sites, but since that didn’t happen right away, they went for this subpoena to dig deeper.
What does this mean for Anna’s Archive users?
The downtime might be Cloudflare reacting to legal threats or the site operators trying to stay one step ahead.
The people running these projects usually do their best to keep things running, but legal risks cause interruptions.
Honestly, no one knows how long Anna’s Archive will keep going or what shape it’ll take.
But there’s a decent chance it’ll come back in some form—maybe on new domains or setups—to keep offering access while dealing with these legal challenges.
Just wanted to share the scoop so you know it’s not random, but part of a bigger, complicated picture."
How is Anna's Archive under attack, the mechanics? It seems cloud flare has not actually complied yet- which is why I'm curious what is going on
They are releasing watch after watch with near zero differentiation. In some cases the newer models are actually worse.
It's an impressive level or garbage and waste. I'm surprised people buy this garbage.
