AI Summary:
Israel released 110 Palestinian prisoners on Thursday in exchange for three Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Five Thai workers held captive in the enclave were also freed in a separate deal with Thailand. Most of the prisoners stepped off the Red Cross bus and onto the shoulders of jubilant supporters. Freedom Theater in Jenin refugee camp puts on everything from Shakespeare to stand-up comedy. In 2019, after serving years in prison for attacks in the early 2000s, Israel arrested him again. He denies the charges, saying that he gave up militancy to focus on his political activism after the intifada. Abu Warda joined Hamas at the start of the intifada following Israel's 1996 killing of Yahya Ayyash, the militant group's leading bomb maker. Palestinian authorities said at the time that Warda had helped recruit suicide bombers. Some of the charges included planting an explosive device and attempting murder. Israel described Odeh, who was working as a painter at the university at the time, as the kingpin in the attack. All three were transferred to Egypt last Saturday. Their families live in Jerusalem and said they will join them in exile. The family has a long arc of Palestinian militancy.

AI Summary:
Maha Kumbh festival in India's northern Prayagraj city has historically embraced diversity in the ancient traditions of Hinduism. The markings worn on the foreheads cut across castes and classes, many of them being unique identifiers of the numerous religious communities. Some pilgrims wear it in the form of three yellow horizontal lines. Hindu priest Pandey dips his fingers in yellow vermillion paste and spreads a stroke on their forehead. He then uses a steel stamp to mark them with a symbol of the Hindu god they prefer. According to Hindu scriptures, the tilak is supposed to protect and purify the mind as well as the body. About 400 million people were expected to attend the Maha Kumbh festival. A priest shuffled along the riverbank, his bare feet padding on the sand, and applied tilak on their foreheads one by one. "It gives you concentration, peace of mind and satisfaction," Chauhan says.

Berlin taz | Mit den Stimmen der AfD hat am Mittwoch ein von CDU-Kanzlerkandidat Friedrich Merz vorgelegter 5-Punkte-Plan zur Bekämpfung der Asylmigration eine Mehrheit im Bundestag gefunden. Ein Tabubruch des CDU-Fraktionsvorsitzenden, der noch im November vergangenen Jahres verkündet hatte, grundsätzlich alle Vorhaben mit SPD und Grünen abzusprechen, damit auf keinen Fall die AfD in irgendeinem Punkt zur Mehrheitsbeschafferin wird. Nach dem grausamen Attentat von Aschaffenburg sagte Merz, man müsse jetzt diesen Weg gehen, egal wer da mitstimme.

Im demokratisch-liberalen Lager ist man entrüstet. Nicht nur, weil viele der vorgeschlagenen Punkte ziemlich sicher nicht mit dem Grundgesetz und dem Europarecht in Einklang zu bringen sind, sondern eben vor allem, weil Merz damit einer Zusammenarbeit mit den Rechtsextremen den roten Teppich auszulegen schien.

Wie ist Merz' Schritt zu bewerten? Warum macht er das? Welche Debatten löst das auch innerhalb der CDU aus? Kann die AfD zu Recht so triumphierend auftreten, wie es ihr Parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer Bernd Baumann tat, der im Bundestag nach der Abstimmung von einer „Epochenwende“ sprach, nach der nunmehr die AfD die führende Kraft sei? Welche Auswirkungen hat dieser 29. Januar auf die letzten Wochen des Wahlkampfes?

Über all diese Fragen spricht taz-Redakteur Bernd Pickert mit seinen Kol­le­g*in­nen Sabine am Orde, die im Parlamentsbüro die CDU verfolgt, Inlandsredakteur und AfD-Experten Gareth Joswig und Stefan Reinecke, der auf die SPD schaut.

AI Summary:
Protesters in Manila hold placards calling for Sara Duterte’s removal. About 4,000 people took part in the rally, police say. A bigger rally was held earlier this month by a conservative sect. The House Secretary General said the legislative body is waiting for a potential fourth complaint before referring them to the speaker. The 46-year-old vice president has denied the allegations against her, calling them politically motivated. Since her public split with Marcos Jr last year, she had threatened the president, the first lady and the speaker with assassination.

Hello !

As federated, I'm subscribed to communities from other instances than lemmy.ml, for example !xmpp@slrpnk.net, !monero@monero.town, !programming@programming.dev, !technology@lemmygrad.ml, and several other ones...

The common thing is that the federated communities are often pretty out of sync with regards to the original ones on their corresponding instances, and that in the best cases, some times I don't think they've even been syncing for quite a while.

I'm wondering if it's a limitation given lemmy.ml can't keep up, given its amount of users and federation, or if it's something that can be looked at...

Thanks !

AI Summary:
Five Thai nationals held hostage by Hamas since its Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel were released Thursday. They were among 31 Thais taken by the militant group, of whom 23 have already been released. According to Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 46 Thais have been killed during the conflict. Israel once relied heavily on Palestinian workers, but started bringing in large numbers of migrant workers. Thailand's Labor Ministry granted 3,966 Thai workers permission to work in Israel in 2024, keeping Israel in the top four destinations for Thais working abroad last year. Thai workers generally come from poorer regions of the country, especially the northeast.

This time it's mostly UI changes I really wanted to make, and some things people have asked for.

All toolbar toggles and dropdowns are now these nicer looking dropdowns. They look a lot more consistently sized, everything has a label I also added "Moderator View" into that new dropdown.

The search page looks way nicer now, here's the before:

And now:

Added an option that lets you toggle between relative and absolute dates

Added an option for completely white/black backgrounds
