Netanyahu ready for ‘significant concessions’ in Gaza ceasefire talks: Report
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/33345095

JUL 18, 2025
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a withdrawal of troops from the Morag Corridor in southern Gaza, according to Hebrew reports, after several days of disagreements in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over where Israeli forces would withdraw from during a potential ceasefire deal.Sources told Yedioth Ahronoth that a deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas on the latest withdrawal maps provided by Tel Aviv to mediators, after it conceded on the issue of the Morag Corridor.
Netanyahu stated in closed meetings that the Israeli delegation will remain in Qatar’s capital Doha until agreements are reached, and estimates suggest he is determined to secure a deal, according to the report.

In this case, the United States. When healthcare is expensive and hard to access, not everybody gets it.
Syphilis symptoms can be so mild they go unnoticed. When you combine that with risky sexual behavior (hook-up culture, anti-condom bias) and lack of testing due to inadequate medical care, you can wind up with untreated syphilis. If you become homeless, care gets even harder to access.
You get diagnosed at a late stage when treatment is more difficult. They put you on a treatment plan, but followup depends on reliable transportation and the mental effects of the disease have made you paranoid. Now imagine you're also a member of a minority on which medical experiments have historically been done without consent or notice.
You don't really trust that those pills are for what you've been told at all. So difficulty accessing healthcare, changing clinics as you move around with medical history not always keeping up, distrust of the providers and treatment, and general instability and lack of regular routine all add up to only taking your medication inconsistently.
Result: under-treated syphilis

I have an idea for to prevent broken links from Lemmy instances that shutting down
There will be a lot of lemm.ee/p/123 links around. As far as I understand, any server that federated with lemm.ee (e.g. lemmy.world) will continue to host the federated communities and posts forever.
So here's my proposal. We build a simple tool that says, when you visit lemm.ee/p/123, we check if that post exists on lemmy.world and forward you there. Doesn't necessarily have to be lemmy.world. We could even present the user with multiple instances to resolve the post from.
If you're interested in how this would work, it would utilize the resolve_object
endpoint, which both Lemmy and PieFed implement.
Here are some examples of how you can still look up lemm.ee posts via the API of other instances:
- lemmy.world/api/v3/resolve_obj…
- lemmy.world/api/v3/resolve_obj…
- lemmy.world/api/v3/resolve_obj…
- lemmy.zip/api/v3/resolve_objec…
- lemmy.zip/api/v3/resolve_objec…
- piefed.social/api/alpha/resolv…
- piefed.world/api/alpha/resolve…
For this to really work smoothly, whoever owns the domains of the shut down instances would have to host this tool (e.g. lemm.ee would have to host it at lemm.ee). I have no idea how to get in touch with whoever owns the domain, but I would be happy to help build this.
Yeah absolutely! But it does feel more useful to have it live on the domain if possible.
I run my own Lemmy/PieFed client. I'm trying to think if there is a way to tell if an instance has shut down without hard coding a list. The hard part imo is telling if an instance is shut down vs temporarily down.
Though as I write this, I suppose this same feature could be used to resolve a post if an instance is temporarily down. So maybe I just ping /nodeinfo/2.1 and if it times out, I redirect.
What if an instance wants to disappear?
Edit: Oh, I see, this would be a service provided by whoever owns the shut-down domain.

Trump can basically print infinite amounts of dollars through the federal reserve.
As we all know, conflicts are hella expensive and often decided by who can stay solvent longer. The fact that trump can just print dollars is extremely problematic here.
I guess the necessary course of action would be to bring the dollar's value to zero, and use an alternative currency instead (such as euro, canadian dollar, mexican pesos).

I've read that MAX (typical horse taste of modern Russian official names, similar to Rosgvardia, Gosuslugi, Rostech and so on ; Soviet-time many-many-many caps abbreviations are boring, but somehow better) in its current early versions is a piece of spyware looking like Telegram, literally saving passwords and banking data and browsing history. Well, I'm almost certain Telegram itself is not much better.
Installed Briar on my phone and persuaded my sister, and to my grandma's today.
I like the idea of these meshes but until Linux phones become a practical option it doesn’t matter. Apple will restrict the hardware, Google will let Gemini spy on anything that passes through the phone, the phone situation is a mess.
I don’t really blame governments for that either. I blame fucking business majors.
A little background info:
Russia's been sponsoring one of its oligarchs' business by eliminating their competition.
First, they restricted YouTube's speed to an unusable state to force people to switch to RuTube (they didn't)
Now they're trying to force people to switch from WhatsApp (and potentially Telegram) to MAX, which they want to be Russia's version of WeChat.

Add the fact that our politicians are obsessed with controlling all of the media and you'll get the gist of it.

Arab Strap in tour a Roma, dopo 30 anni di carriera sempre riconoscibili anche se con uno stile diverso
Il duo indie-rock scozzese, in composto da Aidan Moffat e Malcolm Middleton, con trent’anni di attività sulle spalle, torna in Italia dopo l’uscita di I'm Totally Fine with It Don't Give a Fuck Anymore, uscito lo scorso 10 maggio. Tre le date italiane del tour: 23 luglio a Galzignano Terme all'Anfiteatro del Venda, il 24 luglio al Monk di Roma e il 25 luglio al Giardino Scotto di Pisa.
Con l'ultimo album gli Arab Strap non sembrano affatto preoccuparsi di rimanere fedeli all’identità sonora che, seppur evolvendo di volta in volta, li ha resi unici e distinguibili nel tempo. Già Bliss e ****Allatoncenes****, i singoli che avevano preceduto il lancio dell'ottava fatica in studio, sono due brani profondamente diversi tra loro che fungono da fiera testimonianza del loro focus sul futuro, sul cambiamento e sull’evoluzione.
I'm Totally Fine with It Don't Give a Fuck Anymore è un disco carico di tracce potenti e incisive, sia nella natura upbeat di alcuni dei momenti musicali più propulsivi, sia nel morso dei testi di Moffat. "Rispetto al nostro album precedente, c'è più rabbia e aggressività nelle parole", dice. "Non è apertamente politico ma è di sicuro un disco un po' arrabbiato con il mondo".
Il titolo (letteralmente traducibile come "per me va benissimo, non me ne frega più un...") potrebbe dare l'idea di una band che si stia arrendendo a qualcosa, in realtà fa riferimento a un messaggio del batterista live della band che Moffat ha trovato molto divertente e finisce per riflettere l'inaugurazione di un nuovo periodo di libertà creativa per gli Arab Strap.
i've been testing debian trixie with plasma wayland on nouveau and it looks promising
trixie (aka debian 13) is about to get released with plasma 6.3. it seems that finally x11 is being left behind, which is good, but it worried me a little bit because
- my nvidia graphics card is old: the 470 driver is the latest version that supports it (so no wayland support from nvidia proprietary drivers ever)
- on bookworm (debian 12, the current stable version), nouveau works pretty well, but it crashed more or less daily when i tried to daily drive it at work
x11 is still very well supported by plasma 6, but the near future has no place to it and i worry i would eventually get stuck without updates to my system as the newer versions lose x11 support. i decided to try wayland+nouveau again on trixie to see if i had better luck this time
it all worked way better than i expected. performance is seemingly on par with the proprietary driver, i've had no crashes so far and i've been using it for a week and even screensharing, one of the most problematic aspects of the experience last time i tried, worked well. the one problem i had was with the slack flatpak, which didn't support wayland for some reason, so it had to run on xwayland. screen sharing wayland applications from x11 apps is possible through the xwaylandvideobridge, which kinda works, but it crashed xwayland entirely at one point, killing both x11 applications i had running. i won't blame that on the system itself and installing the slack deb package fixed the problem anyway
all in all, it seems like i can safely switch to plasma 6+wayland+nouveau at work
like this
A huge problem with Debian Trixie is that it is shipping with NVIDIA drivers from before explicit sync was added (over a year ago). This is crazy to me.
But if you want to stay on X11, Debian Stable will support it for quite a few years yet even after KDE drops support.
If you are going to use Wayland (I do), it is worth using back ports to get newer NVIDIA drivers.
Debian Stable should really be called Debian Static (unchanging). Because they can ship unstable (crashy) software for years after other distros have moved on.
Distro advice for a specific case.
Back again haha, I asked a little while ago about making the switch from Windows to Linux and general consensus was maybe don't, as I use my PC for work doing voice acting, music production, and digital art.
Anyway, my PC has been crashing lately so I may be at the point soon of re-installing my OS, so I may as well bite the bullet if/when that happens. Right now I'm making some backups, making a list of Linux programs I'll need, and just trying to get my ducks in a row so I'm not scrambling if I wake up one morning and have to do the thing. Which brings me to Distros.
I've done some research into it but already but there are a bunch of options (thinking maybe Bazzite or Fedora?), and I'd rather know what I'm going with if my PC dies so I don't have to waste time trying to figure it out then. My PC specs are:
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Obviously the priority is to get up and running but I'd really like to use a distro that I can learn some as well. I've installed Mint on an old laptop (recommended for being similar to Windows) but ideally I'd like a distro that's a bit more Linux-y. I'm ok taking some extra time getting up and running, though I'm not at a point for something like Arch yet haha.
EDIT: Wow, lots of comments, thanks! I think I've been overthinking it overall based on these responses. I have Mint on my old laptop and it works well, but had issues on my main laptop (Samsung Book3 Ultra) which I've read has to do with Samsung in general. I also had some issues with Nvidia on it but that may have been a Samsung issue more than anything else. My main PC uses Nvidia so I was under the impression that some distros just don't play well with it and wanted to make sure I used one that worked well with that graphics card.
Bottom line, I've been looking into Linux over the past few weeks and there's still distros mentioned here that I've never heard of haha. It seems really intimidating (hence why I asked) but I'm getting the impression that, at least for now, I'll just go Fedora to start when I bite the bullet. Arch looks really interesting but again, seems intimidating coming from Windows.

in reply to tired_n_bored • • •There's a deep historical connection between Armenia (a former Soviet nation) and Russia that goes beyond politics. Russia has historically maintained influence on other nations to protect their own interests.
Anyone stupid enough to buy America's neo-liberal freedom spreading bullshit and willingly gives up their children's futures for quick loans to do short term improvements that were needed in part because of US sanctions is an idiot, and unfortunately like any other country, Armenia is full of idiots.
You'd think of all countries Armenia would be the first to speak up against Israel's genocide, with a quickly shrinking diaspora of Armenian Genocide survivors being persecuted in Palestine... But no, they wanted to make pappa USA proud and sided with Israel instead.
Armenia sold its future to help the dying American empire bounce back, and so did Lebanon. So tired of war, they let the US build a massive city-sized military compound with an airport on the top of a very strategic mountain and let them call it an embassy. People never learn.
