“Israel’s” Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reportedly spoke “with his usual arrogance” to senior Republican officials, detailing what US President Donald Trump “must do", according to Yanir Cozin, a diplomatic correspondent for Israeli Army Radio, who cited a senior Israeli official.
However, Dermer’s approach appears to have backfired. Trump’s inner circle reportedly told him that “Netanyahu is manipulating the American president,” a characterization that did not sit well with Trump.
The cited official noted that “Trump hates nothing more than appearing to be manipulated.”
[Meta] This is the first time I’ve seen a web page embed in a Lemmy post and I’m trying to figure out how and why.
Edit: Did Hexbear do a version upgrade just recently? Is this happening on any other post?
Oh boy I remember the age of html frames like it was yesterday. Frames. Frames everywhere. Entire websites made of frames.
You just sparked a memory I hadn’t thought about in ages lol
People used to embed those “what type of ___ are you?” Quiz results at the bottom of their pages or their comment signatures.
So many signatures that were like:
and then an embedded jpeg of a white box with a picture of a dragon in it and rainbow papyrus text that reads “you are a BLUE dragon. That means you are creative and love the arts! Paste this html in your signature to let everyone know your results”
Every signature would have 3 frames, poorly formatted, with scrollbars for each one.
The nav sidebar would also have a scrollbar.
The under construction header with a gif of construction workmen would also be poorly formatted and have a horizontal scrollbar.
3 frames of the blog itself would have scroll bars.
I miss the messy internet
It was wild
Rows of pixel flame gifs
In a scrolling frame

Certain news sites and video hosts get embedded like this. I don’t know if those sites are returning a different sort of embed data when hexbear tries to fetch something about them or if they’re being handled in a special way, but it’s been like this for a while now. I kind of trust that the lemmy/hexbear fork devs have done something to stop the embedding from being a security risk since I’d expect an outcry and the feature to be disabled otherwise, but it does kind of sketch me out every time I see it.
Yeah it happened here too. It was also a link to Almayadeen website.
This is one of the only news sites that doesn’t block embedding
Curious.
