The CCR argued that her public discourse, including opposition to Romania’s European Union and NATO memberships, made her unfit to uphold the constitutional obligations of the presidency.

She had been excluded from last years election for the same reason. So this isn’t new.

Interesting. Thanks for the background.

oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?

I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.

Holding means they can be in a defensive position where even if they slowly lose land, Putin’s army has to sacrifice way more materials and soldiers to advance than Ukraine has to defend. And they aren’t even losing land in their country. So they can really focus on attrition.

From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.

While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?

I haven’t been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.

The architecture is very different.

I don’t know if it was originally a fork, but if it was, you’d hardly realise comparing the code.

It’s kind of like Bluesky’s version of ActivityPub.

Though it’s built quite differently, which comes with some major advantages and disadvantages.

(Look at the other side, by far the worst is France, Switzerland isn’t so bad compared to France)

Idk if this has anything to do with the Article focusing on France, but I recently learnt Gizmodo was bought by a French-Swiss company.

A community is only federated if someone on your instance subscribes to it.

Thanks for sharing uBlacklist

I like lemm.ee is as close as you can get. AFAIK it’s federated with pretty much everyone and it’s got a very large userbase so nearly every conmunity is federated.

I’ll donate so much to research I won’t have money to eat?

Appreciate the alt text

Just 6 light-years away, Barnard’s Star is a well-studied 10-billion-year-old M dwarf with a mass of 0.16 solar mass. Finding exoplanets around Barnard’s Star has been something of a white whale for astronomers for more than half a century; starting in the 1960s, researchers have claimed to have spotted various planets around Barnard’s Star, from distant Jupiter-mass companions to close-in super-Earths. Each of these claims has been refuted.

Now, the white whale appears to have been caught at last. Just last November, researchers reported the discovery of a planet orbiting Barnard’s Star with a period of 3.154 days. The data hinted at the presence of three other planets, but these candidates could not be confirmed. In a new research article published today, Ritvik Basant (University of Chicago) and collaborators leveraged years of data to confirm that Barnard’s Star hosts not just one, but four planets.

Knowing a couple of the most active accounts. None of them are teenagers, in all cases middle aged men.

But don’t assume everyone who is very active is a teenagers.

Some of us aren’t ;).

And you don’t have to understand federation to use lemmy. I’ve brought a couple of gen-z ers here. Get them to download voyager. Voyger automatically suggests lemm.ee for account creation. And then you just use it like reddit. Super simple.

The party has since gone from strength to strength and in February topped a YouGov poll of voting intentions on 27 per cent, two points ahead of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ruling Labour party.

Bookmakers have even made arch-Eurosceptic Mr Farage favourite to be Britain’s next leader, although the next election is likely in 2029 and the UK’s voting system disadvantages smaller parties.

fuck me I didn’t realise it was this bad

• First, the Commission will allow the suspension of existing 2018 and 2020 countermeasuresagainst the US to lapse on 1 April. These countermeasures target a range of US products that respond to the economic harm done on €8 billion of EU steel and aluminium exports.
• Second, in response to new US tariffs affecting more than €18 billion of EU exports, the Commission is putting forward a package of new countermeasures on US exports. They will come into force by mid-April, following consultation of Member States and stakeholders.
