Who happen to also be tax payers.

Who funds the Go Fund Me campaign? Certainly not tax payers…

How does that work? Umlauts can totally change the meaning of a word.

Konnte - was able, könnte - could, musste - had to, müsste - should, hatte - have had, hätte - would have.

Incident in the West Bank: ARD (German public broadcasting) team detained by Israeli soldiers

Last update: November 05, 2023 8:50 pm

An ARD team was detained and threatened by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank on their way back from researching violence by radical settlers against Palestinians. The ARD studio in Tel Aviv sees this as a clear attack on the freedom of the press.

An ARD team has been detained and threatened by soldiers of the Israeli military (IDF) in the Palestinian West Bank. According to the ARD studio in Tel Aviv, which is operated by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), correspondent Jan-Christoph Kitzler was already on his way back from an interview with a Palestinian employee and a German employee when they were stopped by Israeli soldiers south of the Palestinian city of Hebron.

As Kitzler reports and cell phone videos of the team prove, the soldiers behaved extremely aggressively towards the ARD team. Weapons were repeatedly held in the team vehicle. The soldiers repeatedly filmed the ARD team at close range - for Kitzler and the team a clear attempt at intimidation. Soldiers apparently conscripted reservists

According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who had been called up as reservists. They were traveling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.

“The soldiers threatened us with their weapons and asked us if we were Jewish. Our colleague was insulted as a traitor,” reports Kitzler. The ARD team was there to report on violence by radical settlers against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. This has increased significantly since the start of the war and numerous cases have been documented. “We cannot accept this approach”

For Christian Limpert, head of the ARD studio in Tel Aviv, the case is an attempt to massively obstruct reporting from the Palestinian West Bank, and other international media are also affected. “This is the second incident for us within a week. Our team clearly identified itself as accredited press representatives and was far away from military security areas. We cannot accept the actions of the Israeli military.”

The situation only eased after more than an hour, when additional Israeli soldiers and police were called in. The IDF’s Foreign Desk, which is responsible for foreign correspondents, also mediated by telephone.

BR considers the event to be an attack on the freedom of the press. According to BR editor-in-chief Christian Nitsche, the multiple pointing of the gun is completely unacceptable. The Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Israel, among others, has also announced that it will take action in the matter. The ARD studio in Tel Aviv will commission a lawyer to examine a legal investigation into the incident.

Canadian Aboriginal syllabics to the rescue!

Yeah, both Voyager and the normal lemmy web client escape the less-than sign. I tried it twice on both clients.

A semicolon ends a statement, and semicolon is a statement on its own. One that does nothing. That’s why you can write

int i;
for (i = 0; i ᐸ 3; i++);

to set i = 3. You can use that pattern to find something in an iterator, etc. But I would prefer

int i = 0;
while (i ᐸ 3) {
   i++;
}

for readability.

“This is the most important investigation of Germany’s postwar history because of its potential political implications,” says a senior security official.

And yet, nobody in Germany cares. Neither officials nor the people (nor me). The pipe should never have been built, so let’s be thankful to whoever helped us un-building it.

What do we do now?

Just shut the company down. LMG peaked years ago, and went downhill from there. And even back then it was worst amongst the big tech channels.

Because Kojima had such a little role in his titles, the next game created without him, “Metal Gear Survive”, was a full success.

Metal Gear Survive received a generally negative response … selling 85% fewer copies than Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and 95% fewer copies than Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

The video is nothing but an unmarked ad. Not worth seeing. No idea why OP shared the video.

The video author is sneaky, though. There is one game in there that isn’t an ad (it’s even the highest in the list), and it’s an ad for GOG, not the games itself.

I think we overestimate how much people care about Twitter and stuff. There is not much news about him outside of our bubble.
