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.

Also as soon as Apple copies this you are going to see them everywhere in the West, the only thing holding it back now is no one cares about a Meta product.
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.

Is there a decent longer form guide to doing it successfully?English11·16 days agoI 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.

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.

“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.

Or it would have to be funded by a government or charity which is not very likely in the present.
