Yeah I’m gonna keep on posting Jacobin pieces, they have always published shitty pieces, but they are one of the only leftist English speaking publications in general, personally I have disliked the writing of the author of the piece you are referring too for years, Marketic has always been a huge Russia didn’t do anything wrong kind of guy in regards to Ukraine.

I’m sure it has been used at times by uncool people, but dragon flag goes hard

I mean sicko in the in the Stan Kelly sense lol, did not mean to have you catch a stray

You gotta be a real sicko to have the substack app installed and on top of that have their push notifications enabled

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

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.

Some RT headlines are so melodramatic, I’m sure they do it for engagement reasons, but still.

The headline could easily be

Why did Albanese refuse to reassure that Australia would assist America militarily in war over Taiwan.

Arab-Israeli

*Palestinian

You could make that argument, but I think it’s important to note how these positions are chosen because it is a relatively unique and most countries don’t appoint government positions on a sect basis. Off the top of my head Singapore also does this and its convention to do this in Nigeria, but there are probably more examples.

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.

ext4 would be normal for linux and windows is usually formatted as ntfs, there’s nothing abnormal with the partitions if you were trying to do just mint, unless the install messed with something weird in the bios I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t boot if you erased the drive while installing mint only, the installation should select that partition to boot without you having to do anything extra

Can you load in to the live usb for mint and see what it looks like when you open gparted? When you reinstalled did you select erase the whole drive or another option?

Here are two videos on clean installing either ubuntu and windows just in case.

Even if you want to keep on dual booting you’ll have to get one installed first anyways.

often times if you had backed up any important files before doing this you are gonna waste less time by just doing a clean reinstall, but you can definitely try to troubleshoot fixing the boot

Caveat I have not hosted a lemmy instance but check this out

there is also other methods listed, but docker compose tends to be pretty simple for hosting, hope it helps.
