>i was wondering how all the efforts to buy gazan's eSIMs was going, this seems to be one of the results. The eSIM stuff terrifies me, because you know damn well they're feeding that data into their intelligence apparatus for targeting purposes, and recent history has shown thus far that they don't give much of a shit about collateral damage. I highly suspect that nearby cellular activity increases the chances of being injured or killed by an airstrike.

    It doesn't matter. Every phone is a candidate for targeting. They don't have to know who owns it.

      I agree, and don’t dispute that.

  Can eSIM run programs isolated from the host device like normal SIM?

  To be fair, the goal seems to be to kill and injure as much as possible, so wether you're using a cellphone or not you might just die. An I you consider a kill and 3 injury for each bombardement (4 casualties)(which is a low estimate), 250 bombardement a day (low estimate again), and take the highest estimate of Hamas militants, 20k (including associated armed groups), 90% of all casualties are civilians, which is a ratio you only find in civil war and genocides.

      This is a very good piece from bbc [1]. It revise IDF claims and how things are not correct and that the death toll is probably much higher because israel destroyed partially or completely most of functional hospitals where death toll numbers are collected. I am replying assuming a good faith and that your goal is not justifying killing innocent people because it is horrible.

  Amazing stuff. Thank you for sharing! I think Cuba is ahead of the curve here, considering the direction the internet is going these days WRT encroaching censorship and media availability issues.

    I was most surprised to discover that the Cuban government releases its own version. I’m curious about the differences/additions between the “official” release and the pirate one. I can only speculate, but I would assume that the sanctioned one is likely to be instrumented and censored, possibly even with malware. The pirate site is blocked by my adblocker also, so it may not be any safer in that regard. I wonder if anyone has studied it.
