The death toll was frozen for weeks and 1.1 million people have been experiencing acute famine as well as the entire 2.3 million having no access to healthcare in the middle of an active genocide. The official estimates are incredibly low.

I accept the official death count but to ignore what they aren’t counting, which I’ve listed above also does a disservice to the realities on the ground.

https://accuracy.org/release/ralph-nader-estimates-200000-palestinians-killed-in-gaza/

The actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.

The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.

“The entire population in Gaza is experiencing high levels of acute food shortage, with around 1.1 million people or half the population living through catastrophic food insecurity, according to the report by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).”

And this is from march!!!

Wait until you find out the actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.

The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.

Fracturing the space is way more destructive than whatever you mean by destructive moderating, since the moderating will only affect some communities and even within that, some users while defederating will split the user base.

The opposition is just as genocidal and 90% of Jewish Israelis(80% of the population) believe appropriate or not enough force is being used.

Elections won’t change a thing.

Fast charging is 100% convenience for the end user and marketing material for the company. Fast charging is just dumping more electrons into a battery quicker than slow charging. I don’t think battery tech has adapted that much to be able to handle this so AFAIK we’re just normalising abusing our batteries. Did read an article that batteries that we’re slow charged, also discharged slower as well.

Gonna add on to this, most people are right in saying get a low amp charger(amps are the more important that volts afaik) 1A is easiest to source but did see a .5A one time. Don’t leave charging at 100% for long periods of time.

What is missing from the comments IMO is anyone talking about how you use your phone. Minimise screen time and bloated software that is always running/sending data. Lineage (or graphene OS since you’re on a pixel) with no google apps will prolong your battery. For now I’ve just got some banking apps, molly(signal fork), jerboa and slack on my phone. My 3000mAh battery from 2016 is now lasting over 24 hours instead of less than 8 hours when using mainstream social media apps.

It is an insult to a people suffering from a famine Americas ally has manufactured, to drop 1% of the needed aid(and kill people doing it) when you could stop the famine by letting the hundreds of truck in that are sitting on the border…

Sadly not haven’t had a tablet for like 8 years

Check out XDA forums or if you want an easier time, check out the lineage OS devices page. If its on the lineage site there’s a good chance other OS’s are available as well.

Not as bad as you’d think, especially if you buy from a place that tests the devices or know the person selling isn’t hard on their devices.

If you are going for a model thats a couple of years old, I would recommend going an alternative OS and no google apps. The analytics they run run does make a considerable difference to battery life. You could use something like microg if some banking apps don’t like not having google (the ones I use don’t have this issue YMMV)

I’d also recommend simplifying how you use you’re device. Ie, don’t have apps that run in the background like Facebook, try and keep to using those sites in the browser.

Don’t stream stuff over the mobile network(applicable to some tablets), as its a large battery drain. It’s designed to blast a load of data and then go inactive to save battery.

You could start doing some of these things on your current device and see if you get much of a change in battery life.

The best device is the one you already have.

Whatever you can get second hand

If people who are genetically predisposed to living in the area aren’t indigenous then the European Jews in Israel with some of the highest rates of skin cancer aren’t either.

No one is indigenous to anywhere by your logic since we evolved from a species before us.

Either that or one place in Africa where the first homo sapiens came from are the only indigenous people in the world.

Unless you want to do crazy gerrymandering then democracies are as a rule ran by a majority

South Africa is a representative state dude

So you’re for a 1 state solution with equal rights and a government ran by the majority like south Africa?

It’s like there’s a historically sound reason for that or something…the events didn’t even happen that long ago.

Its like there’s a historical correlation for large armies and fascist states.

But to counter your point, Taiwan keeps on shrinking their army and even dropped conscription despite the even bigger threat of China. They know the US will bail them out just like they would Israel in an all out war. Even looking at all the defending forces in Palestinian or defensive based armies around the world you don’t need a large or extremely well equipped army unless you are looking to invade am area.

Yes, because of the aforementioned large military. And maybe they haven’t lost someone in the particular fight (although it’s a rather asshole thing to even mention) this is not the first time Israel and other Jews have suffered casualties from surprise attacks.

Every surviving family or friend of someone killed is another person given reason to pick up weapons and fight. Every person who is under threat of starvation, physical violence and death is a person justified in their right to defend themselves. When there is a 36x difference in deaths and one side facing such brutality and oppression, the other side has no right to claim victim.

You say that like it’s an indicator that they’re doing alright. How many people in your area feel the need to have fortified bunkers in in their homes to prevent them from being murdered by people living a few miles away? And how many of those people actually had to use those bunkers in the last month (like many Israelis just did)?

When one side has the psychological and physical safety of a bunker in their home and the other has to face the bombs without any protection it absolutely is an indicator that they are doing alright.
