A monarchy is a government form.
Monarchies can be anything from a parliamentary monarchy to an absolute monarchy, and yes there have been fascist monarchies as well - see WW2 Japan or Romania if I recall that correctly

2·5 days agoI wonder how their AP implementation works and if it is compatible with the threadiverse software in theory
Mastodon simply isn’t designed for discussions. It is designed to (micro)blog. People can react to your microblog, but if you’re not a well-known personality or your content isn’t relevant for the people who see your posts, that probably won’t happen.
What helps to build a followership on Mastodon is to regularly interact with people who post about similar things to your interests and who already have a big following. Then they might be inclined to know who you are, follow you and actually interact with your content/rebl9g it for their audiences.
Bro your AI summary is bullshit. You can absolutely take the lemmy software and set up a site that is run in a 4chan way.
Literally every of these Google “add information xy” boxes has been skippable for years now

5·6 days agoI read a beautiful review in my (german-language) newspaper today, focussing on Halyna Hutchins’ cinematography and emphasizing how much this movie benefits from it.
Basically saying that while Hutchins was not award-winning famous yet, her work on this film would have raised her profile in the industry further.
How will piefed’s flairs federate to other fedi software? Given that piefed already has post tags, what is the difference between tags and flair?

I will argue against what others have said: don’t create another one specifically for your need. It will either end up being pretty dead or you’ll need to put a lot of energy into building it up.
They did have to and always signed under oath that they did, but the Academy never had a way of verifying that
So… Lemmy itself gives admins the possibility to see votes, but admins using this tool to see votes is a problem? Maybe I am misunderstanding something here?

Yeah its definitely a plot device for that

Absolutely, my phrasing in calling him “not biologically male” was due to me not speaking English as a first language and not being sure how to phrase it correctly
I’d agree that it seems unnecessarily overdramatic in the movie plus due to the fact that we are closed in with the cardinals, we don’t see how this attack was possible nor the police investigations that follow it. So we are left with an incomplete picture and the cardinals’ reactions to that.
Yeah the person was predictable based on the narrative structure.
Regarding the final twist
Iirc Lawrence gets tipped off at some point about Benitez’ secretive, papal-approved medical treatment that he then cancelled instead of going through with it. I kept thinking about what it could be, and while I didn’t predict the twist completely my mind did wander into that direction. Mainly because it became quite clear to me that this story would pull every possible scenario that a conclave could have, and with the current church discussions regarding the role of women I thought he would turn out to be trans. Which I’m happy they did not do and rather chose a much much more believable and realistic story of a biological inter person who doesn’t even find out he’s not biological male for decades.
Iirc this is pretty realistic. After a certain number of voting rounds cardinals often agree to switch to a different candidate, with such candidate who suddenly comes up as a new option taking a huge jump in votes for him.

And given when the book was written - on the height of Daesh/ISIS bombings in Europe - the fact that a jihadist group would bomb the Vatican during Conclave makes way more sense than if it was a white supremacist group.
The fact that the last twist isn’t properly influencing anything is, I believe, also down to the fact that it is simply adapted from the book.

Portugal, but they hate expats at this point because they got overrun by them in the last couple of years
