Hamas has several times been willing to accept the 67 border says a construct for a settlement. In that sense they're far more palatable to the international consensus than Israel. They would never accept the right of Israelis existence but they do accept the fact of it.

Norman Finkelstein writes about this quite a bit. Obviously they would never accept the idea that Israel has a right to that land but they have been more open to accepting the international consensus of resolution 242 as the basis for a piece settlement

I don't think that many phones support the idle mode I think Sony has one, Samsung only has a battery bypass when you're gaming. I think it's still a pretty rare feature but if you know something I don't please share

I think a good source for this kind of thing is althusser and his work on ideological state apparatuses.

I think there might be a correlation with higher education and internalizing doctrinal assumptions about capitalism. At least in the United States. But it really just depends on what you mean. You're talking about formal education versus just learning about class consciousness throats independent study or life experience etc...

The latter is extremely important. The former can be useful but if anything I think it will funnel more people into further accepting the deeply ingrained ideological assumptions of the elite classes.

People do seem to inherently understand that the game is rigged but they have been conditioned in a million ways to either do nothing about it or to blame the wrong people. It does require some pretty serious deconstruction to try to avoid internalizing this.

The best value proposition a used Pixel. Get 5 years of security patches, much better point and shoot camera for basic everyday stuff.

And 40% cheaper at MSRP compared to Samsung and they don't have mid-range phones with bad chips like a54.

Pixel 6 Pro can be found on the resale market for like $275 bucks. It'll still get three more years of software support. r a Pixel 6a for 200 on Amazon renewed will get four more years.

You just can't get the same kind of value with Samsung because once you're down to 300 400 bucks you're stuck with the a series. The a series just doesn't retain the stuff that makes Samsung worth it like dex.

Yeah I've noticed that I can no longer add floating bar for LG v30. I can use it on phones where it's already downloaded but I can no longer add it to any new phones and if I delete it I can never use it again.

Which is strange cuz it's still completely functional

Especially Firefox Nightly and kiwi browser run full desktop extensions. There might be others but those are the only two I know for sure that I can get to work.

Kiwi browser is the only one that I can reliably use the bypass paywall extension that gets me through the financial times of the Wall Street journal or basically any payw.

Yeah those are all huge. Camera app is pretty good important too.

I was trying to think of stuff beyond system apps but point taken

My honorable mentions are revanced, Google keep (The easiest way to have my notes sync up as I use a bunch of different phones and tablets), newpipe, musicolet...

To me it's still Nova. Ever since they were bought out I've been trying to find a replacement but nothing seems to match it feature for feature. Especially on Samsung or LG phones, I'm using Nova constantly.

I just developed a muscle memory to be able to swipe down or up on any app to trigger a specific task. It allows me to really keep my home screen clean.

I've turned off automatic updates to try to limit branches intrusiveness but I'm eventually going to have to move on.

After that kiwi browser or Firefox Nightly. I need at least one of those. Those are the only browsers that allowed desktop extensions.

I guess I would choose with Firefox Nightly as it gets updated much more frequently and isn't chromium.

I used to like internet by Samsung but the lack ublock became a deal breaker. In particular kiwi and Firefox nightly support desktop extension so I could use sponsor block, bypass paywall, privacy redirect, old Reddit redirect... But the Samsung Internet had the best dark mode. And it has the most minimalist looking widget which works on almost any aesthetic.

I wish Firefox would offer a widget that just had a little black clear bar with a microphone that I couldn't use on half of a grid like the Samsung widget.
