This is correct. I pay for the unlimited plan with Verizon, but it only has 5GB of hotspot data. I use an iptables rule to increment the TTL by one, giving me unlimited data on my laptop.

T-Mobile used to work the same way when I used it back in 2016.

Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion by SIGSEGV in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

I see what you're saying, but it is really easy to drum up support, especially with how effective the media has become at manipulating public opinion. I've seen the US go to war over much less in my life.

What are they expecting to happen if they attack Taiwan? They'll start the next world war. There isn't a reality where the West is going to let them have it, regardless of how effective their "precision strikes" or suicidal their lunatics are.

Journalists should be forbidden from using "blasts" in headlines.

And that's not even mentioning that he's not a supreme court justice!

I was excited to try Sync after all the hype (read: advertising) on Lemmy, saw that it had ads, and noped the fuck out.

You do you, but I'm not gonna use that kind of garbage. Ads don't "keep apps accessible". Instead, they poison your mind specifically and suck balls in general. The entire advertisement model is flawed, and certain kinds of people only put up with it because they don't know better.

Pro-tip: you can block communities that annoy you.

Mastodon's Founder & CEO Gives His Thoughts on Meta's Threads by SIGSEGV in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

He was talking to Meta before they announced Threads and he signed an NDA. I strongly agree with @CCL@links.hackliberty.org's opinion that the recent popularity Mastodon has enjoyed has gone to his head.

Put plainly, I don't trust him at all.

Help with Lemmy's language options (no Undetermined option) (waveform.social)

On the Lemmy settings page, there is a Languages option with a warning that says:

Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

However, as you can see from the picture, I do not have any option besides English:

Is there a way to add Languages to this list? Am I missing most content, like the warning suggests?

World’s richest people added $852 billion to their fortunes in the first half of 2023 by SIGSEGV in c/world@lemmy.world

I have mixed feelings about measuring their wealth based on share prices because they couldn't sell their shares without tanking the price, right? Elon didn't actually increase his wealth; just the value of something that he has a shitton of went up.

We could also tank the value of his stocks by not buying or using his stupid shit!. For example, anyone angry that he is rich should definitely not be using Twitter.

"Eat the rich"... blah blah blah. Much easier to just protest the rich and take our money back by not giving it or our time to the rich in the first place.
