On android its quite easy. There is a page of a protocol address that has all notifications show. I used to have a shortcut to it. It has been years since I was on android.

But it was really useful each time I did not see a notification in time.

Edit: typo

I thought this was going to happen already after they bought warner bros. But it turns out that it was going to happen anyway.

The competition in the space is going to zero and that is why NF and Disney are raising prices.

The US is on its way to becoming a theocratically influenced state. That is how the war started. I dont see you abandoning the US. Nor do I see you observing Iran in a rational way. Iran is more than just a theocracy. It is a long running civilization.

The only thing those groups have in common is their hate for israel. And israel has intentionally made them the enemy. As it has done with Iran. And blackmailed trump to go after Iran.

At this point you simply just back away from all indications of “iran bad”

Iran is not a jihadist nor a nuke state. The US attempted to isolate Iran from the world, and tried to make everyone its enemy.

We will need the weapons to counter when Israel goes off the rails and starts waging war everywhere.

Here we are getting snaked into a war that we dont want, by a country that probably wants us to become weaker in the future.

Propaganda videos are not meant to tell the truth. They are meant to exaggerate the facts. You know, like CNN exaggerates how terrible iran is.

Keep in mind that we now know that US supplied the protestors weapons to wage violence during the crackdown that resulted in many police officers being killed. We also know that the US has run a campaign to turn protests into riots in past events. And we know that the US sponsors campaigns to create unrest in the country.

If Iran sucks, it is only because the US wants it to suck

Adblocking is an extension that is not necessarily paid for.

Providing a paid interface to a service is very different. You might be taking the browser only part of it and combining it with an extension and selling it as a product. To me that is a new interface.

Guys at seamless io do the same thing. I found a very personal email address on the system. I figured someone at work was leaking their address book to seamless.

I don’t know how to stop it

A reminder that these losses will mean we all each lose something. And Israel gains a whole lot more.

What’s the next country we move to?

The desperation of the state is becoming apparent. Look for more election interference in the future. It will be more sophisticated. And likely can be traced in past elections.

Windows has something better than three finger drag. It has single finger second tap and hold. Plus extended zones for when the trackpad is not big enough to stretch across
