Not the same thing. The hostage takers in your example are only posing a danger to the hostages themselves. There is no outside harm caused by deciding not to act. Hamas on the other hand poses a real danger to Israel. Not counter attacking Hamas would result in attacks on Israeli citizens, so Israel has to act. Hamas is using the hospital as an unethical way of shielding itself from such counter attacks because they know Western war philosophy aims to minimize civilian casualties, so attacks on hospitals hurt Israels global support. However, by operating from within a hospital, Hamas are making the hospital a valid military target. Minimizing civilian casualties goes both ways. You don't attack hospitals unless they are a valid military target and you don't set up military operations inside hospitals so as to prevent them from becoming valid military targets.

Finally something sensible from this guy. Last week it was all big auto lobby nonsense.

What a fucking idiot. Has he been living under a rock? He's going out of his way to remake all of America's mistakes. Absolute buffoon.

Gaming is the only reason I still bother to install windows on desktop PCs.

They are actually locked. In the Netherlands bikes usually have ring locks attached to the frame that lock just the rear wheel. It's way more convenient, you can quickly lock your bike and pop into a store. It's of course less safe, so especially in larger cities and at train stations people do lock their bike to something.

At least you get some of the profits on the platforms. On Reddit you just get karma.

Web sockets are meant for applications where it's important that you receive updates fast in a push fashion. E.g. collaborative editors like Google docs or a chat application. To scroll Lemmy or open a specific Lemmy post you don't need that at all. You can just fetch the data once and have users refresh manually if for example they want to fetch the latest comments on a post. Using websockets for that type of application just puts unnecessary strain on the server.

I'm not sure exactly what in the photo is the wear is you're referring to. I'd say if it plays fine you're fine.
