Some RT headlines are so melodramatic, I’m sure they do it for engagement reasons, but still.

The headline could easily be

Why did Albanese refuse to reassure that Australia would assist America militarily in war over Taiwan.

Arab-Israeli

*Palestinian

You could make that argument, but I think it’s important to note how these positions are chosen because it is a relatively unique and most countries don’t appoint government positions on a sect basis. Off the top of my head Singapore also does this and its convention to do this in Nigeria, but there are probably more examples.

For anyone not familiar with how positions in Lebanon are traditionally chosen

Key points of the agreement stipulate that:

Lebanese Christians do not seek Western intervention, and accept that Lebanon had Arab features.

Lebanese Muslims abandon their aspirations to unite with Syria and the Arab World.

The President of the Republic and the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces must be Maronite Catholic.

The Prime Minister of the Republic must be a Sunni Muslim.

The Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shia Muslim.

The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and the Deputy Prime Minister must be Greek Orthodox Christian.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces must be a Druze.

There must be a ratio of 6:5 in favour of Christians to Muslims (and Druze) in the Lebanese Parliament.

ext4 would be normal for linux and windows is usually formatted as ntfs, there’s nothing abnormal with the partitions if you were trying to do just mint, unless the install messed with something weird in the bios I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t boot if you erased the drive while installing mint only, the installation should select that partition to boot without you having to do anything extra

Can you load in to the live usb for mint and see what it looks like when you open gparted? When you reinstalled did you select erase the whole drive or another option?

Here are two videos on clean installing either ubuntu and windows just in case.

Even if you want to keep on dual booting you’ll have to get one installed first anyways.

often times if you had backed up any important files before doing this you are gonna waste less time by just doing a clean reinstall, but you can definitely try to troubleshoot fixing the boot

Caveat I have not hosted a lemmy instance but check this out

there is also other methods listed, but docker compose tends to be pretty simple for hosting, hope it helps.

Every news source has bias, Al Jazeera has over 3000 staff, over 400 journalists and access that comes along with being that massive of a news agency. Obviously they are biased towards reporting that favors the government of Qatar who funds them. Particularly if a lot of stuff is happening in the middle east and Al Jazeera has more journalists in those countries with better connections to those countries they are gonna be first to cover a lot of things in the region. They are also much less likely to use passive voice and other qualification when talking about things like Palestine in their reporting. A lot of people don’t want to read “50 Palestinians are shot” instead of “IDF battalion kills 50 Palestinians”.
