  • And this means that Zionists will treat ordinary Arabic people with respect, dignity and humanity - or are you still conflating the goddamn elites with ordinary Arabic people again?

    Like seriously, Arabic people are second class citizens in Israel - and we’re not even talking about the beta Israelites.

    I’m sure the Epstein class Arabs are well taken care of when approached by Israeli elites, this has already been established by the previous commenter - but it’s still not an argument against what I said.

    Read what I actually said please.




  • Democracy is not a nice to have, but a check and a balance on power. The problem is the two party system, that and the fact that money has become a bridge between the separation of powers.

    The democrats don’t give a damn about democracy either. They inserted Biden into the election without a proper primary (while the republicans were at least doing a show of it), but then realised that he’s too old and inserted Kamela as the new candidate with no primary, which shows how they disregard the will of the electorate.

    This caused voter disenfranchisement, leading to low voter turnout and handing the election over to Trump. They’ll probably do it again, over their stance on Palestine - believe it or not - and it’s kind of stupid.




  • There’s a lot of writing and history behind open source, open firmware and even open hardware, but the BIGGEST thing you can focus on is the transition from PCs to smartphones around the 2000s.

    We went from you installing whatever boot loader and operating system that could run on your device, to a locked down boot loader that would only load the vendors operating system.

    They hide behind security through obscurity, but it’s been debunked. The boot loader and even firmwares of devices have in certain cases been found to be gushing gashes of CVEs and bad coding - but only through decompilation and reverse engineering. In fact, after the 5 year warranty of your device is up, you should consider the security of your device highly suspect.

    The true purpose for an exclusive locked down boot loader is to maintain operating system monopoly, force uninstallable apps/services on a user, to then be able to track & canvas the user to sell on the data brokerage market - not to mention planned obsolescence, because if you can’t freely modify and update your firmware and/or boatloader, you could secure it for more than 5 years.

    For a more balanced take and to see “both sides”, read this

    Other than that, the LibreBoot mailing list will help you to unearth the hypocrisy and lies fed to us by hardware vendors.

    Free the firmware, free the bootloader, free the operating system, free the drivers, free the software - and then the user can decide wether or not they want to run commercial software on top of all this.

    Anything else is subservience.
