as better alternative for these formats or is this just xkcd for package formats

It can be both. But in this case I see they reuse system libraries, which goes against the idea of ending dependency hell. Apart from that, I don't see any advantage with respect to snap or flatpak.

Here's a German native with that same question. So yes, it seems like a loaded term, but a very common one.

And some people seem to think that “men” and “women” would be better terms, but those terms are usually referring to adults and not boys and girls?

Yes, from what I've seen that's also a problem, because people use «men» and «girl», so a child term for women and an adult term for men. I think the point is to use the adult form, if you're not talking about literal children.

I know in Spanish «male» and «female» is used in a biological way, as in «a male human», so calling a woman «a female» (or a man «a male») is seen as treating them as animals, as not the same as you. I think it's the same in English (as the r/MenAndFemales Reddit page suggests), but I can't confirm this in any dictionary.

That’s just the result of violent revolution, necessarily carried out by people so convinced that their ideology is right that they’ll use violence to assert it. Revolution requires unity, so dissidents present a real risk to a nascent movement.

I've heard it phrased as the Bolsheviks never really leaving behind their «underground party» phase.

Now that you mention that, I seem to recall something similar does already exist in the EU Parliament. Blue Cards, which I think every MEP has a few of.

From the first article (which I admit I just skimmed the top of it):

And to spice things up further, the group is also planning to “hijack” next week’s debate by attending as a group and using the so-called Blue Cards system on each other to allow them to start an impromptu Q&A with the speaker, according to Boeselager, who coordinates the group.

Could be interesting to see how that turns out.

The current system DOES allow it

Technically true, not in practice. On almost half of the provinces (those with less than 4 seats)* you risk your vote going to waste if you don't vote for one of the big two parties.

it’s not a system like the American one, what does not allow it’s the will of the voters

It's the same issue, but worse in their case. The American system also allows it if only the voters massively voted for some third party.

those on the right do not like a center party.

Do they?

* In fact, you could even include those with 5 seats, which would put it over the 50% of provinces and 30% of seats.

Unfortunately the current system doesn't allow a small center party to survive and add nuance to the political scene.

There isn't a binary «veto»/«simple majority». Supermajorities exist, and the Council already has rules like double-majorities to preserver a smaller country's voice. Vetoes only work for small groups, and cause gridlock in all other cases.

Ireland, for instance is constitutionally neutral

That's why article 42 is worded that way. Ireland (and Austria) not being able to contribute directly doesn't mean that the 25 other countries can't act.

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.
