That the deal Hamas agreed to is a new version of the deal Israel hadnt yet seen.

The problem with your assessment is here:

"Suddenly, there was an attack and all dissatisfaction with Likud and Netanyahu vanished."

Very much this is not the case. The removal of Netanyahu is a slow process but his lasting support primarily was based on his promise of domestic security for Israelis and that has obviously disappeared. Democracy is a slow process.

Technically according to this article tiktok won't share data with the PRC - but their parent company bytedance is obligated to share data with the PRC when requested. Bytedance has authority to require tiktok to share data. Therefore through this channel tiktok is obligated to share data with the PRC when requested.

Given that Hamas does not operate in the West Bank I'm dubious that what you are describing in a West Bank hypothetical would occur. Illegal settlements in the West Bank are awful and should be stopped by Israel - but they are not directly tied to the current conflict with Hamas.

Perhaps if you aren't interested in reading analysis by others you might want to consider why your response is a multi paragraph answer justifying why a good news headline is actually bad and confirms your priors that Biden and Democrats are bad. I think this comment is a pretty perfect example of bad faith arguments.

Yes this is a useful Wikipedia article. Especially the point just a little past the first line which specifically rebuts the point you are making:

"The territorial sea is sovereign territory, although foreign ships (military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it, or transit passage for straits"

And just to jump ahead to preempt your next argument, innocent passage is defined in the UN convention on the law of the sea here:

https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/texts/unclos/part2.htm

Furthermore the Houthis are not making claims that the vessels attacked are violating innocent passage. Only you are for some reason.

I would ask you to step back and honestly consider if your words would be persuasive to an uninvolved observer

Def reasons for concern, especially considering the CCP is expanding their genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang in the face of tepid international response

That's true to an extent. But there is something to be said about having a more expansive and easy to navigate system for supporting windows and osx systems. If you have a computer issue odds are you can go into any staples or other chain office supply store and get tech support for a Windows computer.

I do believe learning tech literacy and putting some effort into being more familiar with the often expensive and critical piece of tech that one uses likely every day - but it doesn't do Linux any favors to downplay the specific and limited advantages commercial operating systems have.

I wouldn't recommend citing an Iranian Revolutionary Guard operated propaganda website as a credible source. Perhaps you should examine more critically where you are getting your news from.

I mean given that new nuclear plants haven't been made in quite some time it's too be expected that the average cost rises as costs for maintaining older plants also rises as they reach the end of their projected life cycle. In a few years when solar arrays have risen maintenance costs it won't change the fact that it's an essential power source, so the same logic should be applied to all clean energy.

With approaches to reducing emissions we should take a "yes and" approach. Yes nuclear is a way to reduce emissions and we need to invest in solar wind and hydro. This is true regardless of what we put at the front of that sentence!
