Israel’s accelerating crackdown on the West Bank over the past two years has reached the point of feeling like the new normal. Palestinians say that the strangulation of their daily lives is here to stay, with many describing the regime of closures and land seizures as “irreversible.”

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5
Instead of wishing us Happy International Women's Day, stop harming us with violence, trying to control us, taking away our rights, and killing us.
