This. I recommend reading Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent. Or, you could watch the movie

The US is not anti immigrant.
There’s a few greedy white people with lots of money who bought the media and the elections who are anti-immigrant.
Don’t confuse policy with popular sentiment.

Nah, Half of the credit unions in the US use software that uses TOTP for 2FA.
My bank in EU does not, so I have to have a physical hardware token to generate OTPs, due to broken regulations

No, he’s talking about you being (mis)identified as an ICE agent. Because this tech sucks.

When I was tasked with buying laptopa for a company, I made sure to test Linux compatibility on every machine. If the model didn’t support Linux, we didn’t buy it.
Most of the devs were windows users, but there were enough devs and sysadmins that preferred Linux that it just made more sense to only buy hardware that supports both windows and Linux.
Corporate pressure would never allow such lockdown in the market

The workaround has been around for as long as Android has been around: use AOSP and don’t use gapps

You’re describing Secure Boot. It happened years ago.
And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.

Yes, that’s a bullshit lie. They give that error when they false-postive ban you, usually when you’re using some tech to prevent them from tracking/fingerprinting you and selling your info.
Because, “fuck marginalized folks like domestic abuse survivors and refugees”, apparently

the Israeli government sought to store recordings and data of up to “a million calls an hour” made by Palestinians.
Yeah, that surely feeds into Israel’s Lavender system (ai generated kill lists for targeted assassinations). See journalists and children illegally killed in this genocide
