Thanks, since the page didn't mention where they had gone to I assumed they were just gone.

Gotta say though, not a fan on using subdomains. It would have been better to have everything under social-network.europa.eu (which I just tried and doesn't have a web page). It's not like there's a limit on number of profiles per instance.

Aren't the Olympics free?

I don't think anybody in Spain cares about this.

In that case mods should do that ASAP, to give enough time to people to notice it before the server shuts down.

Also should probably create the new community, lemm.ee doesn't seem to have one already.

Is there a way to move it to another instance?

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

What's the matter with this instance? I see that the main page doesn't load.

I'm curious, what are the other electoral systems you're talking about?

Might be an issue with fonts?

Honestly, just use Debian. It can run under 200MB of RAM (default install), so it beats all distros on the list except for TinyCore and SliTaz, and it actually has packages.

Doesn’t look like more direct.

EP parties usually have a candidate for the Commission that they show during election, so voters know who they will support. On the other hand, the European Council members are usually chosen from internal politics and issues, and at different times.

Last time a union had president, it was quickly dissolved before first term ended.

That's just a name though. The election would stay the same, even if it were called «First Janitor».

I don’t think having one person on position like this is good for union.

The position is the same.

Why? It would give citizens a more direct way to choose the Commission.

Honestly, no idea. The only solution I can see are NGOs. Specially at EU levels, you need to show that your opinion has support, and that you aren't just pushing your fringe idea. And on that front I believe the EU hasn't been lacking.

I think the EP would be a lot more accountable if it was elected on single member constituencies. This also has its own issues (main one being no minority representation), but it would allow a more direct connection with their electorate and people would know who to talk to when they want to push for something.

The only big change I can see will be Parliament proposing the Commission President, instead of the European Council. Apart from that, experience shows that motions of no confidence are rare, so I don't think this will make the Commission less independent.

would perhaps not have been feasible to realize like they have been, if the European Commission couldn’t have the best commissioners for the jobs.

Those acts are approved by Parliament, which is where the Commission will be responsible to.

The solution is not to ban lobbyist (a big part of the EU legislative process is listening to outside organizations), but to put them on equal footing to normal people.

I didn't know US speakers refer to their states by acronyms. We don't do that in my country.

I've seen many references to TCP/IP as meaning IP + everything-on-top, usually when talking about other networking technologies like UUnet, OSI, etc. Also as the TCP/IP stack, usually meaning the (Free)BSD networking code used in other systems.

If the author really wants Blizzard to use his code then he doesn't have much of a choice. Although since it has a GPL library the whole project is distributed under the GPL.

I believe OP has made some mistakes when pasting the text

Apart from being open source what is Linux?

The codebase in git.kernel.org's torvalds/linux.git

Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve

Of course, in fact many people have done so: TempleOS, MINIX, SerenityOS, etc.

Not that I know of, but here are some between Lemmy and Mastodon:

• Upvotes in Lemmy don't translate to favorites in Mastodon
• From the Mastodon side communities are normal accounts that boost published posts.
• From Mastodon Lemmy's posts are top-level messages (i.e. not a response), and comments are responses to the original message.
• You can post to a Lemmy community from Mastodon by publishing a post and tagging the community (@community_name@server.tld)
