Apologies, I was busy not being chronically online. Made some noise for you so that you can pass judgement upon me at your leisure.

My opinion is that they are a people, caged. The conditions that they live in are far below what they deserve for being human.

That’s my opinion really: they’re humans, just like all others and they deserve to be treated with dignity and to be loved and to be able to sleep knowing that they are safe. They have been deprived of these things for far, far too long and I believe that is deeply wrong.

What’s your opinion on Palestinians?

Why not? Hell I’m Jewish and I think the Israeli govt is regularly in the wrong and I feel for the people of Israel that could have better lives and those the govt harms. I also think Hamas is evidently wretched and those perpetrating these abhorrent acts deserve everything coming to them.

Unfortunately, while I’m sure Hamas will suffer, the civilians of both Israel and Palestine will once again bear the true cost of this conflict.

This is what the GOP would call a senator wearing a rainbow shirt, for instance. Should that be a reason to restrict self-expression?

The big thing that’s holding Apple back regarding Siri is that they aim to have all their AI-driven functions processed on the user’s hardware, for security/privacy. So they not only need the software component, they want to have the hardware capable of running it inside the individual phones.

“Some governments.” Government is corruption. How much varies, but if given leeway they all go the same direction.

That’s you, by the way—the hand of corruption. Respectfully.

iOS allows you to change the default browser, a key aspect that this change to Teams circumvents.

As a teacher I’ll say that political ideologies very much do belong in the classroom. How else can you expect a child to learn how to be a part of society and to care for people beyond their own self-interest?

Teaching “political ideology” isn’t telling a class of kids, “you should all be socialists,” it’s giving them a foundation upon which they can build their individual morality.

What is school if not a place to learn from the successes and failures of peoples past?
