Install lockdown on iOS. It’ll block ads anywhere i assume. It’s such an hostile approach, like medium, I will never install their app or open an account.
Mind you the USA has a sitting president that didn’t win the election by way of a popular vote. More so it’s believed he cheated, though we know that everything that led to the elections was wrong from an ethical point of view. It’s very hard to get rid of these people once they take control of a country’s institutes and dismantle them one by one.
In case you’re not familiar with this guy, his writing isn’t much better. Consider this for example:
In 2016, Thiel apologized for two statements he made in the book: 1) "The purpose of the rape crisis movement seems as much about vilifying men as about raising 'awareness'" and 2) "But since a multicultural rape charge may indicate nothing more than belated regret, a woman might 'realize' that she had been 'raped' the next day or even many days later." He stated: "More than two decades ago, I co-wrote a book with several insensitive, crudely argued statements. As I've said before, I wish I'd never written those things. I'm sorry for it. Rape in all forms is a crime. I regret writing passages that have been taken to suggest otherwise."
It’s not just resources. It’s usability. Electron apps look and feel out of place to me. I would personally never use one let alone for reading an ePub. I get the point about perfect rendering, but that’s a specific problem I’m personally not worried about.
Is it more than just an ePub reader? You really feel it’s justified to spin-up an electorn app (!!!) to read an ePub? I use Emacs’ nov.el or Foliate which are not only low on resources but also instantaneous to open files.
These attempt at spinning the discussion is lame. Russia collusion is not a conspiracy, nor the fact that trump is a neonazi sympathizer. Like father like son.
Anyone buying Firefox will make the project instantly irrelevant. It’s not a product, it’s a community. Let alone a predatory, USA based company like amazon.
Overall, we rate the Washington Examiner Right Biased based on editorial positions that almost exclusively favor the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-examiner
2. The Ben Gurion’s and following administrations in Israel tried to include the experience of all Jews in the diaspora under the same sense of persecution. That was not the case for Jews in North Africa and Asia.
If there are two cultures in the Middle East it’s Eastern European immigrants that never belonged there, and middle eastern people, Jews and Arabs, which coexisted. The persecution complex of the Eastern European Jews (a people that annexed itself and has no ethnic relation to us) is a manufactured clash of civilizations.
Israel of course has non official relationship with most of the neighboring countries and very close with the UAE. Nothing new. It’s the Palestinians they need to make peace with. But of course Drumpf will do anything to make Americans believe he’s achieved something other than killing 200,000 Americans.
