There, third time’s the charm (or 10th, more accurately, since lemmy.world is shitting the bed right now).

I think I figured out what was going on, too. The app I use was automatically re-parsing spoiler formatting into its own syntax, but then was erroneously applying that same syntax to text when attempting to view source. So even the example you posted looked different to me when viewed in app versus on the actual site. I made the edit from the site this time and I think that should be good now.

Thanks! Does that look any better now?

They’re in the article:

The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza…Khan withdrew requests for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death.

Hamas in a statement welcomed the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant but made no mention of the one against Deif.

Could just be a way of saying, like, tensions have grown worse. When things sour, they get worse. Unless it’s sour cream. Or citrus. Or pickles.

I dunno I’m not a linguist.

A Russian caught doping? At the Olympics??

Communism as drafted by 19th and 20th century thinkers will never work, predicated on the idea that labor is inherently undesirable and will not be performed by humans without immediate incentive.

We will need to rethink our approach towards communism with consideration for the growing spread of automation. Like it or not, automation is going to lead to the end of capitalism when the majority of jobs we have today are rendered obsolete and the unemployed masses are forced to subsist through some sort of UBI.

The goal is to keep the automation out of the hands of billionaires, however. If a society begins to approach post scarcity, which will finally render capitalism obsolete, the oligarchs will do whatever they can to re-engineer scarcity and bring us back to feudalism before they’d ever consider giving power to the people.

I think I understand what you’re getting at but just keep in mind that there are two sort of separate discussions in regards to that.

The WHO and the health organization of various countries are usually pretty specific in their definitions. The “public health emergency” of COVID is over because:

• There is no longer a need for a coordinated international effort.

• The population is no longer largely at risk due to vaccinations/immunities.

• The mortality rate has dropped significantly.

But I don’t think anyone would deny that COVID is here to stay on a global scale. It’s just that the health systems of most countries are now equipped to manage it without all of the lockdown precautions.
