Cloudflare is a CIA front. They offer “free” DDoS protection + static proxy thereby giving Cloudflare the ability to MitM all TLS connections thru their servers.

I just started to learn about privacy in depth this year, and this little fact about Cloudflare has sat with me more than most things that I’ve learned. I feel like very few people think about the implications of Cloudflare’s practices. Even if its not a CIA front (I feel like it is), we should feel uncomfortable giving any private entity such power. Unrelated, but their crazy lava-lamp wall, as cool as it is, kinda gives me bad vibes lol.

And yet, Warren voted “yes” to sending $15b worth of military aid to Israel only weeks later..

One could argue that, because there was other aid to Ukraine tied into the bill, Warren didn’t want to risk the passage of the bill. I would say that a supposedly principled senator like Warren should have realized the gravity of the situation and follow her brave words with brave action. Other senators like Sanders and Merkley voted No on this bill for exactly that reason. In fact, Sanders tried to introduce an amendment that removed Isreal’s funding from the bill but received no support from people like Warren..

One could argue that Gaza aid was tied into the bill as well. However, Israel has been known to be blocking aid into the region, even before this vote took place. If Warren truly cared about the refugees/people of Gaza, she would have supported Sanders’ second amendment to the bill to restore funding to the UNRWA, which provides most of the food, water and shelter to Palestinians. But she didn’t.

I couldn’t find any other mention of her supporting an arms embargo after this vote either (unless I’m missing it, which is entirely possible given how difficult it is to find this shit). I remain unconvinced of Warren’s resolve on this matter.

Can you provide a source for this? I haven’t heard Warren call for an arms embargo, but maybe I’m not in tune. From what I understand very few senators support the arms embargo, despite wide support.

Correction, the developers, not the community, are flat out pricks (not “slightly unfriendly”), but this does nothing to remove how amazing the OS is for anyone wanting to remove themselves from all the mainstream garbage in the mobile devices scenario while being able to keep productivity with a few workarounds.

Yep. I’m willing to deal with a prick developer who’s taking this on their shoulders. Theyve really produced something incredible with GrapheneOS. I’m not willing to deal with the pricks who sell my data to anyone and everyone. Especially pricks who have had contracts with various intelligence agencies.
