    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.










  • 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.





  • I think it could happen, but it would have to be a foss app and a paid service or funded by ads, because you need paid people to moderate services like that, moderation on lemmy is about civility and people being mean to eachother, but moderation on a dating app might involve dealing with sexual assault and other illegal things in a much more prominent way. Or it would have to be funded by a government or charity which is not very likely in the present.
