this could be perceived as the president is uncommitted to their country.
Argentinians ought to know by now that Milei’s only commitment to his country is in selling it out to imperial core capitalists. He’s working on his exit strategy. My money was on him moving to Juan Gaidó’s neighborhood in Miami.

Abu Obeida: IOF bombed captives repeatedly to ensure they were killed
Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, accused the Israeli military of deliberately and repeatedly targeting a location where Israeli captives were being held.
In a post on Telegram, he said, "The occupation army recently targeted a location where some enemy captives were held, bombing it multiple times to ensure that they were killed," stressing that the Resistance group has "intelligence confirming that the enemy deliberately targeted the location with the intent to kill the captives and their guards."
According to the spokesperson, the al-Qassam Brigades freedom fighters launched a search and rescue operation to attempt to retrieve survivors, However, only one captive was successfully retrieved, but his "fate remains unknown."
A few moments after Abu Obeida's post, the al-Qassam Brigades released a video captioned "Netanyahu and Halevi are seeking to get rid of their captives in Gaza by all means."
The footage shows a captive, with blood on their body, struggling to move amid the rubble most probably caused by the bombing Abu Obeida mentioned in his post.

Syrian commander on Israeli frontline says invasion will go no further
Qatana has seen Israeli-Syrian conflicts come and go. The town in the Damascus countryside has been an important staging post for Syrian troops in the wars of 1967 and 1973, and today finds itself just 8km from invading Israeli troops.Daniel Hilton (Middle East Eye)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was securing Israel’s borders. But Jolani noted that Iranian forces that backed Assad were no longer in the country, so there was no excuse for Israel to be there.

Blinken, regional top diplomats meet in Jordan to discuss Syria’s post-Assad transition
Top diplomats from the United States, the Arab League, and Turkey met in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba on Saturday (December 14) to discuss how to support Syria’s transition following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government.
The meeting, attended by 12 foreign ministers and senior officials, did not include any Syrian representatives.
Discussions centered on what priorities a new leadership in Syria should adopt, including inclusivity, minority rights, and the destruction of Assad-era chemical weapons stockpiles.

Ukraine is run by nazis
Or are we playing the "everyone I dont like is a nazi" game? In that case, Russia and my HoA is run by Nazis!
don't like this
nah we're just reading what mainstream western media reported before the start of the war
Lol, many countries do have open fascists in their military and government, Russia and the United States among them. Funny thing about folks who are willing to kill for their country, they are often ultra nationalists. A couple of the articles I sent you clearly demonstrate this in regards to Russia.
Regardless, you never even came close to supporting the claim "Ukraine is run by Nazis". Worse for your point still, one of your sources stated clearly that said claim is demonstrably not true.
And while fascists and Nazis should be called out and shutdown on every level in every country, including Ukraine, exaggerating the extent to which these ideologies have infiltrated a government to justify war is blatantly propaganda and evil.
I'll take your personal attacks on me as you admitting you overstated the strength of your "evidence". Next time someone makes a clear cut argument like "Ukraine is run by Nazis", don't provide evidence that literally says that's not the case and then pretend like it supports the claim. That's not "too complex to understand", that's just lying.
Russia and the United States among them
Please show Russian officials sitting in front of nazi symbols, or Russian military units using them. I'll wait. The fact that you're trying to make some sort of equivalence here shows that you're either completely ignorant or intentionally trolling. The difference is that nazi problem in Ukraine is systemic, and this is a fact that's well documented.
I’ll take your personal attacks on me as you admitting you overstated the strength of your “evidence”.
definitely something a nazi apologist clown would say
You quote me saying Russians have fascists in their government and military, something I sent you articles demonstrating that you didnt even bother to read, and then have the audacity to pretend like I owe you more research and need to prove a claim I never made? Get outta here with that nonsense.
You never showed any evidence for this claim.
You never managed to demonstrate that Ukraine is run by Nazis, nor that it is even a “systemic problem”.
I have, but you ignored that, and no serious person would deny it. Even Ukrainians don't deny this
Do you think lying, exaggerating, and attacking people will benefit your point in anyway?
Should ask yourself that very question. Nobody is moving any goal posts on you. Maybe read up a bit on how took power in Ukraine after the coup.
Or are you just so angry that you want the fight, and there is no point beyond that?
Projecting much?
Honestly man, I feel kind of bad for you. Good luck, I hope you can find some joy in your life.

in reply to solrize • • •Having info "65 people visit this site from Lemmy.world" doesn't seem to be that invasive tho.
I can see blogger and other creator utilize this to connect with community.
solrize
in reply to nasi_goreng • • •The referer header tells the site which specific users and which specific clicks came from lemmy world. That's flat-out invasive. Revealing the number of users (as Mozilla wants to do) is also invasive even if it doesn't single out the user (of course that's much less direct and people usually tolerate it until they become attuned to the issue).
The thing to ask yourself when site X wants information Y is "what does X want to do with the information?". If the answer can possibly be "something bad", then X should not get the information unless the user opts into sending it. That is even if it's statistical or aggregated information. Being included in the count is like casting a vote for X, which (as we see with Trump getting elected) can have significant effects even with no identification of the individual voters.

At least making them optional is good, especially for political context.

So smaller instances where there-might be risks associated will be opted out by default, while large instances that might want the attention and where individual users stand out less can opt in.

The rest of your post makes no sense, yes obviously peole can tell the diference between commuters wanting coffee and people on a night out getting drunk. But that is very different to having a label on everyone saying "came from my mistresses house" or "came from my weed dealer" on each person, which is more akin to the level of detail given by referal links.

It's not that choices are being made for them, it's that they are adversarial choices. There's a difference between "treating everyone like babies" and being on their side. Users who want sites run by predatory jerks already know where Elon's site is. The fediverse's main appeal afaict is that it's run by people who aren't like Musk and Spez. That is, its operators can be trusted more. They should be looking out for the user. They should make choices for the user that the user would want them to make. Otherwise there is no point to it.
