Summary

Israel and Hezbollah accused each other of ceasefire violations two days into a truce that ended 14 months of conflict.

Israel claims Hezbollah breached terms by approaching border zones, while Hezbollah accuses Israel of firing on civilians.

Brokered by the US and France, the ceasefire involves a gradual Israeli withdrawal and Hezbollah’s pullback north of the Litani River, with U.N. peacekeepers taking over.

The war killed over 3,700 in Lebanon and 70 in Israel, displacing 1.2 million in Lebanon and 50,000 in Israel.

    Hrm, me either. Both desktop Firefox and Chrome leave a GINORMOUS gap (>1 full page height for me) but don’t show the video. The only Extension I have in that Firefox is uBlock Origin, and Chrome has none.

    Safari not only auto-plays the video, but after I paused it and scrolled down it started to auto-play again, though pausing it the second time worked so it may have been some oddness in something not being finished downloading (yet it still started up the video regardless!).

    Can these kinds of “ads” be pointed to as evidence that Lemmy no longer restricts advertising - i.e., it’s main selling point? Netflix likewise does “not” have “ads” either - those videos that auto-play after you watch something, and when you pause something, and when you don’t select something fast enough, and when you leave the player connected for too long, etc. - those, again, are “not” ads, just so you know. You know, um… in the sense that “well ackshually” they aren’t (except, in fact, they are).

    Edit: I also see the giant gap from https://startrek.website/post/16820546 too, but NOT from the OP Lemmy.World post. It looks like this may be related? I’m glad that video embeds are working again but… when they auto-play like that, WITH SOUND, that seems to cross a line for me. :-(
