If he gets arrested later when he surrenders, beside a mugshot, do they also weigh Trump? Measure his height?

It's not an AUTOMATIC disqualification, it still needs to be adjudicated

I might have mistaken what was written, but the scholars in the paper explicitly point out section 3 is 'self-executing'. ~Which means it does not require adjuducation.~ I was mistaken, see comment below.

If it happened before, that doesn't mean it was necessary.

Timmermans is a very important candidate in The Netherlands that is having snap elections in November after prime minister Rutte finally decided to not run for his party once more after thirteen years of neoliberal governments.

It's an ideal moment for Timmermans to switch, because waiting until EU elections would mean he could not participate in the upcoming elections in The Netherlands.

That would likely mean the neoliberal VVD or farmer's party BBB would become largest and might even form an (extreme) right wing coalition just like happened in in several member states.

It's probably better for the EU that Timmermans switches now.

Isn't that weird?

Kbin users can see it, admins can see it, but Lemmy users cannot.

You don't need to allow other people on your server.

This is a good question, because it never gets a proper answer.

I think most people consider it a way to approve or disapprove an OP or comment, but it's completely unclear why.

Let's say you post an OP about basketballs in the community!basketballsarecool@someinstance. If your OP describes all the cool things about basketballs, you'll receive upvotes. If your OP describes basketballs are useless, you'll receive downvotes. And it probably will be the reverse in the community!basketballsareuseless@someinstance.

Lemmy could at least stand out if the development community would remove downvotes. It's an unnecessary polarizing passive aggressive way to disagree with somebody, that leads to all kinds if unnecessary negative emotions.

But it would be even better if the whole upvote / downvote system can be disabled. You don't know who is upvoting / downvoting and what does it say?

It's not very different than Reddit. Either browse communities or browse all posts and try to discover communities you like.

Might I suggest you download and install wefwef (which was renamed to Voyager recently)?

Wefwef/Voyager is a progressive webapp or WPA. You don't install it from an app store, but install from within any browser. It's much easier to navigate Lemmy with wefwef/Voyager, but there are more clients that you could try as well.

The Court of Justice if the EU will very likely disallow the use of this authority in the future, but it often takes time to litigate in court up to a point where an organization can proceed to the EU Court.

It's a terrible way of politicians trying to circumvent fundamental rights, even though their goal always is to prevent crime. The simply pass the bill, wait until it becomes law, start doing their business, claim victory and then complain the EU Court disallows it.

Sigh.

But it's still pretty amazing to me: it's like using Twitter or Instagram to read and reply to Reddit!

It's probably amazing because everybody is used to social media platforms blocking access to and from other platforms. The point of these commercial platforms is to reel in as many users as possible and keep them in the ecosystem. No export possibilities, no federation or standard protocol.

It's like a large company inventing e-mail and not allowing people to e-mail to an e-mail address registered to another domain. Nobody would think that's logical, but most have grown accustomed to commercial social media locking every account in.

I doubt a slow responsiveness has to do with wefwef.

Your account appears to be registered to lemmy.world. Might that be the reason why the past week was slow?

What was wrong with feddit.de?

I might be mistaken, but didn't Twitter run out of server space because they decided to not continue their contract with Google?
