Sure but maybe they don’t want to use btrfs. Ever thought about that?

No, please research what deduplication is before commenting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication

You might be thinking of incremental backups which also saves space but is not the same thing.

If you for example ran deduplication on a file server and a bunch of users uploaded the same files in multiple different directories, deduplication would remove all duplicate copies and just link them together. This has nothing to do with snapshots. btrfs might support deduplication but now this software does too. Your comment was completely unnecessary since not everything in the world can or should run btrfs

Not sure you would even need encryption. Surely It can’t be illegal to ask the root servers (and all the other DNS servers involved, because the root servers only have IPs for TLD DNS servers) for IPs

I use it to communicate with my family

It’s more convenient than chat apps.

Okay

Jackhammers are so loud, haven’t they heard of a pickaxe yet? I am very smart btw.

Is this what a few democrats think is important legislation right now?

FTFY.

Don’t believe the actions of a few local politicians are representative of a huge political party.

No competent heroes wear capes.

Clicking on Samsung makes it sound like it’s still a problem on Android 13 at least.

I’m glad it works for you at least, I have never used a Samsung phone so I might be fixed altogether but idk.

You could if you want, add an issue or something on their GitHub

It doesn’t matter what the intention is, if people are seriously injured by it and you still use it on people (including civilians) with that knowledge.

Refusing to use a less lethal tool seems pretty evil.

I know it’s a great smokescreen but that doesn’t make it okay.

Just because the current main users of white phosphorus are the US, Israel, and Russia. Doesn’t make it an accepted and especially an acceptable tool.

Heck even flamethrowers are perfectly fine to use in war. Sure, but not indiscriminately on civilians.

Ah, I have a pixel which apparently is pretty nice on the not killing your app side

It’s already possible, for example the WireGuard app doesn’t even support notifications at all. You can also just hide the notification or remove it’s permissions, works great for Tailscale.

The Android documentation recommends a persistent notification for the UX but it’s not needed. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/vpn

The WireGuard and tailscale apps work great for me without a persistent notification.

WireGuard doesn’t support notifications at all. Tailscale does and by default it shows a persistent notification but you can just silence it or turn it off in the apps notification settings.

Persistent notification thus seems to be unnecessary for VPNs to function, Google/Android dev documentation recommends a persistent notification for the UX but it’s not needed. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/vpn

In conclusion it appears that third party apps can indeed provide a VPN service without a notification.

Idk, I haven’t read up on it. But for one, where are all the western countries railing against Israel for using it?

It’s a human rights organization that’s bringing this up not a country so that is irrelevant.

And why the fuck does it even matter? White phosphorus is bad, end of story.

Yes, that’s what the article says, but:

#A need for legal clarity on use

International law does not classify white phosphorous as a chemical or incendiary weapon, and its use in war is not prohibited, said Houchang Hassan-Yari, professor emeritus of politics and international relations at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ont. But its impact when used in civilian areas muddies the waters.

“Generally speaking, the bomb is used to blind the anti-air system of the other side because the fume that it generates covers the attackers,” Hassan-Yari said. “But the consequence if the bomb is used against the humans, many believe is a war crime. So it’s not very clear cut … and there is a need for clarity by UN agencies to confirm whether this bomb should … be identified as a chemical weapon.”

##What counts as a chemical weapon and how to tell who’s using one

According to groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the use of white phosphorous bombs, which ignite when in contact with oxygen, in densely populated areas — like the 365 sq. km Gaza Strip that is home to more than two million people — violates international humanitarian law.

Don’t forget to scratch up your entire phone because micro B is so incredibly sharp.

Mini B was great.

I would get bandwidth is their main concern.
