Agricultural practices play a decisive role in the preservation or degradation of protected areas, research shows
New research shows that modern agriculture is impacting biodiversity inside protected areas in Europe, while some traditional agricultural practices may help preserve it. The Natura 2000 is the largest network of protected areas in the world, established to conserve the most valuable habitats and species in the European Union (EU). â Read more

Der ganze Vorgang ist archetypisch fĂźr die seit Jahrzehnten vĂśllig ohne Not stattfindende politische Selbstverzwergung Europas.
A comment on heise about the recent AWS outage.
(Too bad thereâs no good translation for the great word âSelbstverzwergungâ.)
Iâm paraphrasing: Europe (and other regions) depend on US IT services, a lot, without an actual need. We saw AWS, Google, and Microsoft build large datacenters and then we thought âwelp, shit, nothing we can do about that, guess weâll just be an AWS customer from now on.â Nobody really went ahead and built German/European alternatives. And now we completely depend on the US for lots of our stuff.
The article even claims that thereâs now a shortage of sysadmins in the EU? Iâm not so sure. But Iâd welcome it, makes my job more secure. đ¤Ł
Hosting services, datacenters, software, everything, itâs all US stuff. Why do we accept this, why not build alternatives âŚ

@thecanine@twtxt.net I am not arguing you didnât do the right thingâ˘, and even if the impact is minimal, or nothing, you did what you thought was right (and I agree). I donât agree with certain rules the EU wants to impose, not in this particular case. There are rotten potatoes everywhere, and I donât get fooled by the EU often sacrosanct behaviour.
But who am I to say anything, right? Look at the grotesque clown utterly shit show we live with on this side!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I submitted it via the form on their website (https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/contact-dma-team_en) and got the following response:
Dear citizen,
Thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns regarding the impact of Googleâs plans to introduce a developer verification process on Android. We appreciate that you have chosen to contact us, as we welcome feedback from interested parties.
As you may be aware, the Digital Markets Act (âDMAâ) obliges gatekeepers like Google to effectively allow the distribution of apps on their operating system through third party app stores or the web. At the same time, the DMA also permits Google to introduce strictly necessary and proportionate measures to ensure that third-party software apps or app stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system or to enable end users to effectively protect security.
We have taken note of your concerns and, while we cannot comment on ongoing dialogue with gatekeepers, these considerations will form part of our assessment of the justifications for the verification process provided by Google.
Kind regards,
The DMA Team
@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Why, because Germany is now listed as âopposedâ on fightchatcontrol.eu? Iâm not so sure. This is just one guy (Jens Spahn) saying âno we donât want itâ.

@prologic@twtxt.net Germany was listed as âopposingâ on https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ for a while, now itâs back to âundecidedâ. According to netzpolitik.org, itâs still debated. Also according to that page, there could be an important vote on the EU level on October 13/14.
The green party and the (far) left are opposing this (at least in Germany).
