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.

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.

It's just Lemmy admins trying to give us the true Reddit experience

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.

To everyone who is saying they use adblock and haven't seen this yet: YouTube probably rolled this out to a smaller percentage of users first. It allows them to understand how this change impacts user behaviour, e.g. how many users comply and disable their adblocker, how many more users close YouTube than usual etc. Most tech companies do this type of analysis before releasing a high impact change to all users.

I selected multiple languages and am sometimes having trouble posting comments from apps (Liftoff and Wefwef) as they don't give the option to select a language... When I submit the comment I get an error message telling me to select a language. It doesn't happen all the time though. For instance this comment was written on Liftoff.
