I have a YouTube channel as well, and also got notified about this.
The setting is disabled by default, so I don’t have a particularly large problem with it. But that might also be because I’m in the EU.

I was reading an article on that on Tweakers two days ago, and I was quite confused until the last sentence saying that it was not related to the “decentralized chat protocol with a similar name”

While I dont think Macron made the best call there, its not entirely accurate to say the left coalition won a majority. They won 182 out of 577 seats (31.5%) which makes them the largest minority, but not a majority.

Coalitions don’t necessarily include the largest minority. If the other parties for whatever reason find the differences too inreconsilable, then you cannot form a coalition.

In many programs the alt key will access the toolbar, be it hidden or unhidden.
At least that seems to be the convention in Windows. I’m not sure what the convention would be on Linux.

In the Dutch parliamentary system we do have a two-house structure (i.e. we have a Parliament and a Senate), while also having proportional representation.

• There is a national election every four years that determines the make-up of the national parliament. The result directly proportionally determines the seat division (150 seats total).

• There is also a provincial election every four years. This directly proportionally determines the seat division of the respective provincial houses.
  But it also indirectly determines the make-up of the Senate. The provincial houses hold their own election and vote for the seat division of the Senate (75 seats total for 12 provinces).

It is traditionally seen that Parliament proposes, argues and passes legislation, while the Senate checks the passed legislation for constitutionality before giving it their sign of approval.
Another view is that Parliament is the direct representation of the people, while the Senate is the national representation of the provincial houses.

I think it is worth keeping in mind that an electoral system doesn’t have to be exactly like the theoretically pure version. You can mix and match elements to something that would suit your situation best (for instance in terms of achievability)

To my knowledge Bluesky does not use ActivityPub and is therefore not compatible with Mastodon for federation
They use a different underlying protocol for communication between instances, called AT Protocol

Edit: Different, but not proprietary
