extremely disappointing and reactionary bullshit.

i had no idea about this even though i use the site pretty regularly. big tech is killing itself.

damn how is this real 💀

deepl may give you better results. i've compared it with gtranslate for a few languages and it's usually better at slang.

Finally! I was waiting for this since we applied last year, I'm honestly surprised they invited Egypt considering the current economic situation. Maybe this will help us get out of the crippling weight of foreign debt. Also surprised Algeria wasn't invited when it's more ideologically aligned to current BRICS countries, while Egypt tries to play both sides since the 70s (although it's increasingly looking east recently).

what else is to be expected from a capitalist country with active interference of religion in state affairs? i don't believe queer liberation will ever be possible under capitalism anyways.

despite that, these news are still tragic of course. the state's treatment of queer people in my country is similar to what russia is trying to implement and i don't wish than on anyone. even though homosexuality is not expliclitly illegal here and transitioning is technically legal, gay* people still get arrested on prostitution and public indecency charges instead of homosexuality charges, and trans people can't change their legal identification anymore because the committee that would authorize it has not operated in years and is leaving trans people in limbo.

why does it get removed from join lemmy? i noticed it wasn't there when looking yesterday.

well since reddit is going to shit, do you have any plans to leave it or will you (the mods) wait and see?

this is not confirmed information, but i saw speculation that he was buried in a secret funeral and not even his family members were allowed to bury him. if it's true, it's probably to avoid any issues with isntreal and not being seen as "legitimizing" his actions.

Here's some good open source alternatives (you can use their own hosted ones with some restrictions or self-host):

sounds cool!

oh okay, makes sense. i was wondering if it's lemmy developers being pressured by the mobs, but seems like it isn't.

do you have any people that buy used oil in your country? this is a thing where i live so i thought i should mention it. i saw that you're in a rural area, but if you have a car you might find people to buy the oil from you in any reasonably populated city. i can't help with the other stuff, hopefully someone else will.

reuters is on the list so you can use this one. This one is from a reputable egyptian newspaper but I didn't see it on that list, so you might not be able to use it.

you can add an email in jerboa so you can reset the password.

is r/drugs planning to ditch reddit because of their shenanigans? i haven't talked to this person before, so idk about their plans.

I'm glad that people are still seeing this post! They keep adding more stuff regularly too, so hopefully you'll find whatever you need.

just in case they delete the post:

Israel is trying to claim that Egyptian soldiers started shooting at them unprompted. This shit happening now when the country is in economic crisis seems real fishy.

I just checked and this already has a wikipedia page?? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_shooting_incident_on_the_Egypt%E2%80%93Israel_border
