  • I think a lot of people want to project Sankara onto him, partially because he emulates parts of his style and rhetoric. But if you were a military leader of course you would be inspired by your country's most famous and inspirational modern figure. He'll likely be better in terms of breaking away from neocolonial arrangements with France, but time will tell what else will happen, stuff like this included.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pact

    For anyone not familiar with how positions in Lebanon are traditionally chosen

    Key points of the agreement stipulate that:

    Lebanese Christians do not seek Western intervention, and accept that Lebanon had Arab features.

    Lebanese Muslims abandon their aspirations to unite with Syria and the Arab World.

    The President of the Republic and the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces must be Maronite Catholic.

    The Prime Minister of the Republic must be a Sunni Muslim.

    The Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shia Muslim.

    The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and the Deputy Prime Minister must be Greek Orthodox Christian.

    The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces must be a Druze.

    There must be a ratio of 6:5 in favour of Christians to Muslims (and Druze) in the Lebanese Parliament.

  • This will happen from time to time as google changes things with YouTube and only a few people hosting public servers, you kind of have to bounce around to what's working at the time. Some other things to try would be piped, newpipe, freetube, vacuumtube, etc. Personally I moved away from Invidious a while ago because of errant playback issues, I've found newpipe to be the most consistent.

    Whats a good Linux distro to dip my toe in with in a laptop running Windows 11? Is there a decent longer form guide to doing it successfully?

    Jump

  • I think you can't really go wrong with trying ubuntu or linux mint. There are plenty of guides, most important thing is to back up your data in case you mess something up, you don't want to lose any files over a silly mistake.

  • Rick Scott champion of the people

    https://newrepublic.com/post/168843/rick-scott-oversaw-one-largest-medicaid-frauds-history-wants-to-be-senate-gop-leader

    The former hospital company CEO oversaw what was the biggest case of Medicare fraud at the time. Under his leadership, Columbia/HCA gave kickbacks to doctors to refer patients and then made patients’ conditions appear worse than they were so Medicare would pay more.

    When Scott was forced out of the company as it was under investigation, he left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million severance, and a $950,000-per-year consulting contract for five years. The hospital, meanwhile, was fined $1.7 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in history until that point.

  • Netanyahu Is Reportedly Planning to Annex Gaza Strip, With Trump Admin’s Backing

    Jump

  • The Israeli military would first annex parts of the “buffer zone,” an area spanning all of Gaza’s border created by the military amid its genocide. The zone encompasses over half of Gaza’s land area, and Israeli forces have bulldozed everything inside it, including homes, schools, farming sites, and more.

    The military would then move to annex parts of northern Gaza, which Israel has worked diligently to isolate from the rest of Gaza, and move gradually until Israel has annexed the entirety of the Gaza Strip, Haaretz reports.

    this is quite clearly different then what is has been going on, there is a difference between just bombing a place and annexing it, and this might lead to even more ethnic cleansing whether that is through murder or implementing forced population transfers to other countries like they have been discussing for months

  • Netanyahu Is Reportedly Planning to Annex Gaza Strip, With Trump Admin’s Backing

    Jump

  • I think you are completely off base

    "reportedly" refers to

    On Tuesday, Israeli outlet Haaretz reported that Netanyahu is expected to propose the plan to his cabinet soon.

    emphasizing it is not from an Israeli government source, but from a newspaper (something that has been reported on, thus using the word reportedly)

    "planning to annex" refers to the official act of annexation which is different than the status quo, even though status is genocide, a formal annexation is meaningfully different than what has been going on and this is explained in the article itself.
