@mapto@feddit.bg I’m pleasantly surprised that unlike anyone in Italy, the Guardian correctly uses the designation “Italy’s far-right government”. In Italy journalists call it center-right, presumedly because Forza Italia is the centrist part of it. Neither Berlusconi nor Tajani have ever been centrists, not their policies are friendly to small enterprise, as a moderate right-wing government should be.

@mapto@feddit.bg just for the record:

“Ceuta does not benefit from free movement to the rest of the Schengen Area,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.

Кой го бие по главата да се излага така:
„Радев коментира още, че при срещите си със западни партньори е казвал, че за тях аварията в АЕЦ “Чернобил” е била новина, но за хората в България е била реалност и се е отразила върху здравето на хиляди.“
Само за сведение, ето разпространението на радиацията:

"Sir Charlie Bean, a former deputy governor at the Bank of England, told the BBC: “Stablecoins are only stable if they have the appropriate regulatory environment… But there is right now an unsurprising regulatory race to the bottom amid the potential for greater profits”

He added: “When funds are coming from major shareholders of such large financial institutions, there is a clear potential conflict of interest here, for example, in the appointment of a new Bank of England governor”

“And there is that endless joke: there is one absurd, parody, completely inappropriate candidate – and he is standing against Count Binface. That one is kind of funny.”

@mediapool_bg @bulgariaeu след толкова години в политиката, Румен Радев още не е разбрал, че освен Лавров друг чуждестранен дипломат никога няма директно да ти държи сметка. Вижда се къде е внимавал:

“Аз съм в прекрасни отношения с лидерите на всички държави от Европа и НАТО (…) Никой не е отправил досега към мен и към българската държава някакви претенции за външнополитически позиции”

@balkanika wait for it…

@pan0wski taking a piss seems to be an important intervention they could attempt

@Madrigal this seems to fall under participation:
“Decisions about AI are being made too fast, in private, by a small number of powerful actors seeking to further enrich themselves, with no meaningful mechanism for those most affected to intervene. Policy responses committed to participation would require communities, workers, and affected people to have formal standing in decisions about AI development and deployment, not as perfunctory consultees, but as ultimate decision-makers”

@ekZepp @matdevdug “Instead it became the only place consistently posting trustworthy information I could actually access. This became personally relevant when Trump threatened to invade Greenland, which is the kind of sentence I never expected to type and yet here we are. It would be funny if I wasn’t a tiny bit concerned that my new home was going to get a CIA overnight regime change special in the middle of the night.”

@ekZepp @matdevdug “So in this complete breakdown of the press came in the Fediverse. It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.”

@ekZepp funny, I thought this is what Google search is nowadays:
“Threads was worthless because it’s the most boring social media website ever imagined. It’s a social media network designed by brands for brands, like if someone made a cable channel that was just advertisements and meta commentary about the advertisements you just saw. Billions of dollars at their disposal and Meta made a hot new social media network with the appeal of junk mail.” @matdevdug

@mapto@feddit.bg turns out Macedonia is not the country with the least developed railways, and the link to Bulgaria is not the only one missing. It also has no links to Greece and Albania. Neither do these two countries have a link.

@avidamoeba Иначе тази руска връзка не е нещо ново или прикривано. Ето един разговор от преди 10 години:
https://faktor.bg/mneniya/intervyu/-gen-reshetnikov-radev-mozhe-da-izigrae-rolya-za-nezavisimostta-na-balgariya-ot-es-i-nato-87641
Събеседникът е един от водещите руски агенти, работещи над България.

@avidamoeba fortunately, he wouldn’t have the numbers to take decisions on his own. Historically in coalition governments, pro-Russian parties in Bulgaria push to control the power ministries, but leave the economic ones to parties that have an understanding of the economy. We’ll see how it goes this time.

@rivoluzioneurbanamobilita @dariopnc @Otttoz @milano come grazie… Dall’immagine ne giornale sembrava che sono indicate tutte le strade. Invece è una segnalazione più mirata, ma ampia. Dai è un buon passo avanti. Hai ragione anche tu, ma almeno se ne parla, che per i miei standard è già tanto.

@Otttoz @dariopnc @rivoluzioneurbanamobilita @milano
ma scusa, tra le circolari e la cintura verde sono tutti i quartieri si prevede circolazione sulle strade? Quelle indicate come “urbani” sono semplicemente strade. O sbaglio qualcosa?

@nepravda “Recently, officials revealed that Moscow aggressively utilized covert financing, cyberattacks, and massive disinformation networks to interfere in Moldova’s elections and derail its European integration path. Security experts warned that the tactics perfected in nations like Moldova and Bulgaria are designed to be replicated across Europe as Moscow seeks to exploit vulnerable political environments far beyond the battlefield.”

@nepravda "The primary narratives involve fearmongering about alleged interference by Ukrainian intelligence services within Bulgaria, as well as accusing the European Union of acting against Bulgarian interests through the hands of Ukraine.

Additionally, there are systematic attempts to undermine public trust in the integrity of the electoral process and launch targeted smear campaigns against pro-European politicians."

@middlemanSI @mapto@feddit.bg would have been easier to hold off if Israel was not continuously reinforcing it, don’t you think?
