Nothing I wrote is about "denigrating" people wishing for self-determination, or about "supporting the oppressive larger states". It's just currently a fact of the world that the independence movements in those places have not yet been successful. They might still be in the future!

Catalonia (the autonomous community or "nation" which Barcelona is the capital of) absolutely does have:

• its own parliament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_Catalonia
• its own legal system, in the sense of laws passed by the aforementioned parliament
• its own justice system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Court_of_Justice_of_Catalonia
• its own education system, nothing special about that, even in Germany each state has its own education system
• I can't easily find information on taxation, benefits, or housing, but strongly suspects those are regional matters in Catalonia too

Lots of places have subnational entities which they may or may not call something that translates to "country". Nothing particularly unique about the UK. The only thing that is unique is that in some sports, the UK's subnational entities have separate teams, you are right about that part.

If everyone who sometimes calls themselves a nation counts, surely Barcelona must too… 😉

"National capital" = capital of an independent sovereign state.

Vatican, not really because it's surrounded by another national capital.

Vienna and Bratislava are creating an interesting effect too.

That's why it says "national" capital. The national capital of those places is London.

Me neither. Anyone know what advantages or disadvantages it has compared to Shotcut?

Blöd finde ich den Artikel keineswegs, ich halte das für eine durchaus interessante rechtliche Frage.

The uplifting news is that even someone in the European commission (unexpectedly) prefers the less privacy-invasive version the parliament wants, not the one the council wants.

It seems that you understand what the term "metaverse" was even supposed to mean; care to enlighten the rest of us?

Sind sie das nicht schon? Ich kenne mich mit (besonders deutschem) Steuerrecht nahezu überhaupt nicht aus, aber dachte, Mastodon sei eine deutsche gGmbH und KDE e.V. ein deutscher gemeinnütziger Verein?

I personally don’t interact with lemmy.zip communities

except, apparently, the one we are posting on here?
