SIGSEGV,

Same thing just happened with IVPN :⁠-⁠\

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

SIGSEGV,

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.

SIGSEGV,

iptables on my laptop (not tethered, but using the phone’s wifi hotspot). I don’t even have a jailbroken android phone anymore because my banking app stopped working on custom ROMs and fighting with it wasn’t a good use of my time.

SIGSEGV,

Surely there is some way to configure this on Windows. I’m so unfamiliar with Windows software anymore, but I’m sure that any firewall worth it’s salt would be able to increase the TTL on outbound packets.

SIGSEGV,

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.

SIGSEGV,

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.

SIGSEGV,

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.

SIGSEGV,

Officially. That’s just political framing to keep China from going ape-shit. Unofficially, though… see the Six Assurances.

SIGSEGV,

Yup, the military industrial complex is so screwed up.

Taiwan presents a tricky and strange situation. All I’m saying is that I really do not think that the US would sit back and watch China invade without doing anything.

SIGSEGV,

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.

SIGSEGV,

I would say that suicide is not patriotic to anyone. Why do Chinese supporters always resort to whataboutism, anyway? Shitty behavior is shitty behavior, regardless.

The PRC has never owned Taiwan. Also, it doesn’t matter about the ethnicity of the population because, at the end of the day, they don’t want to be part of China.

SIGSEGV,

Why are you mad at me? It isn’t my choice. You make some good points/observations, but I won’t respond to each of them because the fact of the matter is that the US will not sit by and watch Taiwan be “reintegrated” (again, not my choice; just a fact).

SIGSEGV,

Aaaahh, gotcha. Good advice, thanks. 👍

SIGSEGV,

All propaganda is not good, but I’d say that Chinese-brand propaganda is fierce. I make an attempt to get news from sources outside the States because our propaganda is pretty lame as well. I should learn more about Taiwan history, though. Can anyone recommend a good book about it?

Russia blasts Saudi Arabia talks on ending war in Ukraine after Moscow gets no invitation to attend (apnews.com)

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Monday chided efforts by international officials meeting in Saudi Arabia to find a peaceful settlement for the war in Ukraine, saying the talks don’t have “the slightest added value” because Moscow — unlike Kyiv — wasn’t invited.

SIGSEGV,

I’ve had android phones since the G1. The Nexus One was pretty freaking sweet, but my favorite phone of all time was either the Nexus S or the Nexus 5x. The curved screen on the S was great and it fit into the back pocket of my pants “like a glove”.

SIGSEGV,

You’re not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.

SIGSEGV,

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

SIGSEGV,

Yeah, that “exclusivity” attitude is the worst. I welcome anyone to the fediverse! The nature of the fediverse prevents any one entity from “fucking it up”, as the image claims; if you don’t like an instance or the instances it federates with, move to a different one that is more in-line with your values.

SIGSEGV, (edited )

Woosh

SIGSEGV,

On a second reading of the comment, I realized you weren’t. My bad, dude.

SIGSEGV,

I was excited to try Sync after all the hype (read: advertising) on Lemmy, saw that it had ads, and noped the fuck out.

You do you, but I’m not gonna use that kind of garbage. Ads don’t “keep apps accessible”. Instead, they poison your mind specifically and suck balls in general. The entire advertisement model is flawed, and certain kinds of people only put up with it because they don’t know better.

SIGSEGV,

Out of curiosity, what sort of issues were/are you having with it?
