FPÖ-Werbepost: "Die EU kann mir mein knuspriges Schnitzel nicht verbieten." Michael Raml, Bundesrat EU-Parlament für Namensverbot Das EU-Parlament will Bezeichnungen wie „Veggie-Wurst“ und „Soja-Schnitzel“ verbieten lassen. Eine Mehrheit der Abgeordneten stimmte am Mittwoch in Straßburg für eine entsprechende Gesetzesänderung. Das Votum sorgte im Anschluss für breite Kritik. Die Entscheidung ist nicht endgültig, sie geht nun in die Verhandlungen mit den 27 EU-Ländern. 355 Abgeordnete stimmten für das Verbot, 247 waren dagegen, und 30 enthielten sich. Die Ja-Stimmen kamen vor allem von Fraktionen rechts der Mitte. Aber auch Mitglieder der sozialdemokratischen S&D-Fraktion und der Liberalen stimmten dafür. Die Abstimmung war Teil eines Gesetzespakets, mit dem die EU eigentlich die Position von Bäuerinnen und Bauern in den Verhandlungen über Preise in Supermärkten stärken will. [...] Österreichs Abgeordnete gespalten Österreichische Vertreter im EU-Parlament bezogen gemischte Positionen: Die FPÖ sprach sich vor der Abstimmung klar für das Verbot aus. „Kundentäuschung darf es nicht geben – wer Fleisch kauft, soll Fleisch bekommen, und wer Gemüse kauft, soll auch wissen, dass es Gemüse ist“, teilte der FPÖ-EU-Abgeordnete Gerald Hauser auf ORF.at-Anfrage mit.

pi = 4
A circle's perimeter being approximated by polygons. Starting with a circle inscribed in a square, it shows the perimeter remaining constant as the circle is divided into more segments. The final panel shows that this process implies π equals 4

Warum @linkswien.bsky.social @kpoe.bsky.social ? :( Die Grünen bleiben wohl leider alternativlos in Wien...

Eure Begründung ist übrigens auch faktisch falsch, der Gürtel ist seit 13 Jahren keine Bundesstraße mehr

JavaScript Devs, you live like this?

(yeah, I know why this happens, but still, how is the web built on a language that not only doesn't support 64 bit integers but FAILS SILENTLY when encountering them?)
Screenshot from a browser console, showing a first comparison of two large integers (snowflake IDs) that differ by a small amount, the result being true. Next entry is one of the large numbers as input, output being the number floored to the nearest 100.
