We discussed strengthening energy cooperation and agreed on steps that will enhance energy security in our region. There are concrete decisions, and we will certainly implement them.

Well friends, it finally happened. A VPN provider finally reached out to wag some money in my face to promote their service here. It seems a bit alarming that running a VPN service is apparently so profitable that providers are able to spend all this money on advertising (seems like half of podcasts have VPN sponsors and the other half are sponsored by square space)
I still own guardllama.io so maybe I need to set up my own VPN service under that name 😂

Il Ministero della Salute ha segnalato il #richiamo da parte dell’operatore di un lotto di fieno greco essiccato ‘kasoori methi’ a marchio Schani.
⚠️ Il motivo indicato sull’avviso di richiamo è la presenza di cloripirifos, un pesticida organofosfato vietato in Unione Europea.
Il prodotto in questione è venduto in confezioni da 100 grammi, con il numero di lotto 07/KM e il termine minimo di conservazione (TMC) 07/2026.
Ennesima sciocchezza sul caso Almasri.
Intervista al ministro Piantedosi su Il Foglio: Almasri fu rimandato in Libia perché c'era una richiesta di estradizione da parte delle autorità libiche.
Secondo il ministro, chi contesta la scelta del Governo su Almasri non ha letto bene le carte. Io le ho lette molto bene e ciò che lui dice l'ho smentito in punto di diritto, confermata dal Tribunale dei ministri: il mandato di arresto della Corte penale internazionale prevale su ogni richiesta nazionale

There are like 10 different open source apps for lemmy, on every platform, with completely different UIs and experiences. This is a far better ecosystem than anything else I can think of (especially reddit), and if someone has problems with UIs on any of them, they can contribute.
Will always be an issue that needs work, but lemmy has scaled up to support ~40k active monthly users without too many issues. Most of our problems are database, not network related. Both problems can be solved solely by development resources.
Mods can remove all content at the click of a button, and users can report items. I'd need specifics on other things that are missing.
Would need more specifics here, but we have a lot of search filters and capabilities.
Somewhat unavoidable on anglo-net, and especially when people are drawing in large numbers of users from reddit, which suffers from that above. Also there are some servers that do no moderation on US content, and let it overrun every single community. Here we try to keep it on /c/usa unless it affects the greater world, and we also try to remove low-quality drumpf says type-memes that overrun reddit.
