Europe

High pressure forecast to raise temperatures to 48C as hot weather sweeps Spain, France, Germany and Poland

Let's talk about safe sex in Europe. It's quite the big legal subject, but one needn't get into all the details.

I'll start with mine: Sweden

Fatherhood carries the responsibility for the childs livelihood, same as motherhood. A father who doesn't live in the same household as his child and/or isn't legal guardian will have to pay money to the child (or usually mother) until they are 18 or 21, depending on if they are still going to school. If the father does not pay, the government will pay instead, and then collect the money from him.

• If a married woman is pregnant, the husband is legally the father. It doesn't matter if somebody else knocked her up. If a married man wants to challenge his fatherhood of a child, he will in practice need the cooperation of the actual father to prove that he isn't.

• If an unmarried woman is pregnant, a man can sign up for fatherhood. If a man doesn't, social services will have to examine who the father is. This can be done through various methods and if they fail to ascertain who the father is, but the pregnant woman says who it is, it will be taken to court. In court, as far as I know, the burden of proof is nearly non-existant.

In all cases, if a man is legally determined to be the father of a child, but disputes this, or suspects he isn't, he will need the actual father to help determine that he isn't.

What's it like in your country?

I wonder if other cities in Europe have acted similar policies

We are asking Europeans of all ages and backgrounds to give us their opinions about possible new themes for future euro banknotes. We want to hear from you – take part in our public survey by 31 August 2023.

Here in Czechia it's tiring, constantly hearing what bad bad things the EU has done and most of the time if you dig a little it turns out it was our own government that did it.

I have seen some users commenting on Lemmy using a Mastodon account. I tried to login Lemmy using my Mastodon account (on the web) and it didn't work, like account not found, maybe it tries to locate the Lemmy instance account.

I have tried to do this on Jerboa, Thunder and Liftoff too and still couldn't work.

"Tech companies behind search engines, social networking services, and operating systems with millions of users will face the Digital Market Act’s new rules in the EU soon.

The new rules include several key items:

• They will no longer be able to lock in users in their ecosystem.

• They will no longer be able to decide which apps you need to have pre-installed on your devices; which app store you have to use.

• They will not be able to “self-preference”: exploiting the advantage of being the gatekeeper by treating their own products and services more favorably.

• Their messaging apps will have to interoperate with others."
