I recently got a Boox Go Color and really enjoy it. The nice thing is that it runs Android so can benefit from the app ecosystem.

Older kindles can and should be jailbroken.

Removing DRM is likely completely legal.

Are you telling me Johnny Cash didn’t really kill a man in Reno just to watch him die?

April 1 - “lol check out this silly thing that Google maps is doing!”

April 2 - ( ˶°ㅁ°)

Great song

Nope. It’s always safe to ignore any articles about “kids these days”

Hey it’s a tough world out there. It’s getting harder and harder to identify fake images, which is why I wanted to explain some of the telltale signs that it is real.

I also have a number of friends who are very outspoken in the Iranian-American community. There are a lot of bad actors out there who are trying to discredit their entire movement because Trump happens to be president. Who else are they supposed to appeal to for an international intervention? They just want to rescue their families.

Zion is mentioned 152 times in the Hebrew Bible, a 3000 year old book. Unless you are also suggesting he is a time traveler?

It’s not a new idea. Read what I wrote above.

You’re right that many people were skeptical of his utopian view of multicultural harmony.

Nope. This map, according to the article it comes from, is constructed (incorrectly) based on a biblical reference (Gen 15:18). Herzl references it in his diary as part of a conversation brought up by someone else.

Herzl himself famously refused to define such borders.

This is abject nonsense bordering on misinformation. Herzl quite famously envisioned a future state in which Jews, Arabs, and others lived in harmony and mutual benefit.

Herzl is also not the founder of Zionism, a 3000 year old concept, but of the particular European branch of Modern Political Zionism.

Support for the Iranian people against a regime they’ve been trying to get rid of for decades.

The Lebanese people are getting sick of Hezbollah, which has again launched hundreds of missles and drones into Israel, forcing this response. Hezbollah is afraid of losing its golden parachute from Iran.

They have to be reflective lenses, dummy.

If there is a long US war or occupation, that would surely be a disaster for the Iranian people. But Iran already has many of the core mechanisms of democratic government. It’s not Afghanistan, it’s not even Iraq.

People vote for leadership. There has just been the “revolutionary” guard that operates the shadow government with the real power. The religious fundamentalist government has had the right to choose the candidates, but people really do vote from among those choices.

If the people can succeed in transferring military power to the elected government, then there is a real chance for permanent and stable change. The people are educated, the economy is sophisticated and diverse, and there are functioning institutions.

For the past 2 months, Iran has switched to a North-Korean model of information control.

The internet is still on total government blackout. Voice and video messaging is near impossible. Calling into and out of Iran is near-impossible.

This means that literally every single image, message, video, description, report, etc. that comes out of Iran is either government propaganda or secretly smuggled out at great personal risk. Western media has not yet caught on to the implications of this reality.

But at what cost?

For the sake of your people? You’ve already killed tens of thousands of them. They are the ones who want you gone!

Today I learned that I am well above average.

Again or still?

I’m sorry, but you’ve lost the plot. This does not look at ALL like AI upsizing. There is no AI noise, faces are intelligible. Hands have the right number of fingers, and are attached to people. There is no AI noise. The stars are the correct number and in the correct arrangement (see overlay below). People have a range of expressions. The framing is natural.

Additionally, it is published and credited in a major news source with long-established editorial oversight.
