  • I wish this article could actually explain some of the changes. This is quite a large time frame (‘06-‘23) and while the European migration might be explained by EU enlargement, I wonder if the demographic share from African countries has changed, or whether education systems have overall improved (more people having some form of education).

  • Wine/champagne grapes are farmed in Europe, but I think it is sad for the workers, no matter they are situated in Europe or elsewhere. Maybe even worse if it is in sweatshops, because they may not rely on state support.

  • I have the option for passkey login with Bitwarden (and believe I can export them too), or is this not what they meant with it is ‘exclusively in the hands of smartphone OS vendors’? Is it specifically the technology, then?

    The example of Microsoft is not that strong either, because I had a business account 2fa which I only could use with the Microsoft Authenticator, so they managed to make 2fa lock-in too.

  • I am using The Movie Data Base (TMDB) since a couple of years. I think it it’s another hobby project. At least it works really well and, as far as I know is still independent.

    Not sure if European per se.

  • They are talking about sending soldiers (together with other willing states, like the UK) when a ceasefire has been established. A ceasefire has not been agreed on (yet).

    A state can’t just become an EU member. Ukraine is a member candidate and now has to reach certain goals to make sure they have proper democratic institutions, reduced levels of fraud and similar objectives. Most complicated is to comply with not having a conflict on its territory.

    Non-the-less, France has in no possible way the power to allow Ukraine to the EU, all member states have to agree to this.

    On the actual article, one could see it as late, France might have good reasons for it, who knows. However, France recognising the Palestinian State would be considerable, because it is a state with quite an influence and statute. It might boost other states that say they support a two state solution to also recognise Palestine.

    What I hope afterwards is that they also do more to make Israel abide by int’l law and negotiate on a ceasefire and for territorial integrity of the Palestinian Territories on the West Bank and Gaza. I do have my doubts though, because they seem to do little about Israeli incursions into Lebanon and Syria

  • Maybe he is trying to create a precedent for the EU to initiate article 7 of the Treaty on European Union and suspend some of his rights (voting?), and creating an argument to retreat from the EU.

    On the other hand, I can only imagine the EU still being very important for Hungary an Hungarians and getting out of it would mean he is digging his own grave. If Hungary leaves the EU it would also mean that the EU has no leverage at all any more to show Hungarian democratic backsliding.

    Makes one wonder where these people get so radicalised and how they manage to go so long without being stopped.

  • Fair enough. The whole ordeal of undermining the arrest order is quite frustrating (to say it mildly).

    It also brings back memories about France, Germany, and others trying to ignore the order. I think Netanyahu is not going to try travelling there, though. There it might not be a political decision, but up to the judicial system. I hope the latter holds true…

    I think m this was the reason he did not visit Poland a while ago.

  • They have only stated the intention, not an actual application for withdrawal. Also it has to go through parliament first, which probably is just a formality.

    Article 127 of the Statute also states that ‘[t]he withdrawal shall take effect one year after the date of receipt of the notification, unless the notification specifies a later date.’

  • Apart from all the other points made here, I always wonder why uniforms have to look like there has been no development in clothing/fashion for the last 100+ years? Why do they have to look like they are extras on a Harry Potter filmset?

  • It is not the most elegant of sources, but it gives some explanation and cases. It also looks like it mostly effects second-home owners and tourists who have overstayed the 90-day period. In general, if applied for a residency, and lived in the EU for a while there is a small chance of being kicked out. Local conditions may apply, like a certain income in Spain.
