And that's great, as long as you're totally cool with access to _any_ of your accounts _anywhere_ being completely controlled by either Apple or Google.
I'm struggling to figure out how you really believe this.
Even if you didn't bother to actually read reporting or see images from the ground of children being shot in their mothers' arms by the IDF and such real horrors perpetrated against civilians who are obviously and visibly non-combatants, it's puzzling how nothing in the hyperbolic, propagandic tone of the alleged quote leads you to question its veracity (or even makes you look twice at taking Russia Today TV as a trustworthy source).

You realize getting civilians killed by using them as human shields is an actual Hamas strategy(and war crime) right?[0]
Yeah, this and syncthing for keeping our shared password vault file in sync together were 2 of the 3 major reasons my wife's last phone upgrade was a swap from iOS to Android (went with a Pixel 8, which was new at the time).
Since then, Immich and Syncthing+Keepass have worked as well as or better than their proprietary equivalents for my decidedly-non-technical wife.
I did initial setup, and she never has to think about it again. It just works, which is more than I can say for paid cloud subscriptions and their constant nags over exceeded storage space.
Yes, the fact that these 2FA systems aren't based on time-based one time passwords you're probably thinking of. It's a push notification that you need to open and approve in the official app.
A little pedantic, but: this will tell you if a poem is shaped like the common English conception of a haiku, but it won't tell you if this is a haiku, because a haiku is more than just counting syllables.
Aside from the fact that "syllables" is not exactly the unit being counted in haiku, there are also considerations of theme, tone, and a sort of "open-ended-ness" – among other considerations.
Plus the translation issues, where you can have an absolute sledgehammer of a haiku that would need to be watered down in order fit the "correct" meter in English:
in kyoto / hearing the cry of the cuckoo / i long for kyoto
Very cool that the author was able to use a profiler without source code and even add debug symbols, but...the actual conclusion (a third-party script using a third-party scripting system the author had installed but never mentioned until the end was the culprit) was so obvious of a first thing to check that it made the post feel a bit contrived.
It's like if someone wrote up a post detailing a step-by-step teardown of their vehicle's engine to determine why they were suddenly getting worse gas mileage, only to end with "oh, you know what, it's probably the giant always-open drag parachute I installed right before I started getting bad gas mileage. Let me try removing that now that I've ruled out every accessible part of the engine."
I think much of human history (not just recent US history, but that's a prominent example on folks' minds these days) proves that the biggest differentiator that the wealthy can buy is complete immunity from any sort of legal consequences.
Even if you don't already live in a high-corruption society, you can either spend some of your wealth introducing that corruption (which pays dividends), or you can just go somewhere else that's already high-corruption and bribe your way into immediate permanent residence.
Live in a democracy? Just buy public opinion by leveraging your wealth into a highly-profitable propaganda network, which will also give you an appealing platform for opportunist would-be government officials, who will then owe you, making your bribes cheaper. Maybe you can even just directly blackmail or entrap them along the way, so you don't even have to pay.
Live in an autocracy? Buy enough weaponry and PMCs to insulate yourself or even rival the government itself, or just buy the autocrat's favor directly.
Live in an oligarchy? Psh, your work is already done. Just use the system as it's designed: to be exploited by your vast wealth.
Sam Bankman-Fried believed this, and it turned out not to be that simple. But it's very noticeable how the US is trying to set up a system of protected Party insiders.
