If Israel doesn't need the free weapons that cost us hundreds of billions of dollars, then lets stop wasting the money.

The only way is a data only SIM card.
It won't have a phone number for anyone to call or text.
Of course you can't make calls or texts either. You have to setup some kind of SIP service is you need to.

We're not talking about individual people, but whole corporations and organizations.

For example. Instance.social is shutting down. Now the whole Org needs to migrate 150 accounts to someplace else. Oh and the old posts are being deleted, can't migrate those.

And the support community you created on there, is going away also. Again, can't really migrate all the old posts and comments. But the FAQ documentation we put there when people asked about it, can be manually copied to the new place. So that's something

That's not a situation any company would want to be in. Better to have their own social home, that they control.

The story had feeling of being written by committee. I think that was it's only real problem.

Hard disagree.
Running your own social media server for official accounts, so you're not beholden to the whims of other providers, is kind of an obvious thing to do for online organizations.

That depends on how bad things need to get.

As a stepping stone to an octo-fold phone? Yes.

One of my favorite movies is Josie and the Pussy Cats. Check it out. If you can't see the product placement, you might be literally blind.

And if you watch to the end, you'll understand the product placement is part of the pointof the movie.

Me neither. Just had fun watching a fun movie.

I started buzzing my hair down to an 1/8th inch when I was 14. Then much if it fell out in my 30s also.

Not well. But nobody (including Trump) ever expected him to win, and there was no real plan. Now they have Project 2025. This time things will go real bad if he gets elected.

This idea only comes from people who have never seen what this is like or how it works.
I've done this kind of work, as a direct care staff helping the disabled.

People with disabilities aren't doing normal productive jobs that anyone else would do. They are being paid $1.5/hour to stuff gift bags for kids birthday parties, and the like. And they have direct care staff earning $15 to $20/hour, working right next to them to help out and keep things safe.

These laws sound good. (Accept the carve out for prisoners, not sure what's up with that) But they won't do anything for the disabled, beyond forcing them out of somewhat normal life routine. These jobs aren't productive work. They're a mental health treatment, simulating a job.
