Ce să vă zic, mă, bine ați venit? bine ați venit, rău ați nimerit. La locu' ăsta îi zice șerpărie, de la șerpii care umblă pe-aicea. Dracu' știe cum au ajuns...

  • @akesiseli Romanian here. In my opinion, no! not at all. We had much to gain from EU membership, not just financially. The fact that we also had some foreign institutions overwatching us when politicians tried to alter the rule of law weighed in a lot in our internal politics, and made the difference between democracy and dictatorship. We had the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism which helped the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) jail some high profile politicians like Adrian Năstase, Elena Udrea and many others.

    Laura Codruța Kovesi, former head of DNA, is now the first European Prosecutor, due to her remarkable activity in heading the institution. She now has the power to investigate every corruption scheme in all member states, at a European level, and is actively aiding Moldova and Ukraine on corruption issues. Europe gained a lot because of her in this regard.

    And stop asking if Europe has been expanding eastwards too soon. We have the same issues as you do: Russian meddling in the elections, supporting pro-Russian far-right candidates etc. What's the difference between Georgescu and that AfD member who said some SS members are not criminals? None. We are struggling with fascism as much as you do. And we are supporting NATO and EU especially in high numbers because we know it will help us get a better future for our country. Without you we are doomed!

  • Organic Maps is the best open source Maps App I've ever tried

  • @thegreenguy It doesn't, but if you're lucky, your city might have a transit app itself (mine does). Even if chances are that it's not open source either, you'll still be able to cut your dependency to Google to a certain extent.

  • @PhlubbaDubba @tardigrada You still need email for pretty much most services. You need to log in? Create an account using your email and password. Need to work somewhere? A phone number is essential, but the employers will also use your email to message you if you cannot be reached on the phone (happened to me once) or when sending video call invites.

    WhatsApp is ubiquitous when it comes to chatting, but for more elaborate communications, email still rules.

  • GOP Platform Doesn’t Mention the Word “Climate” Once — Even After Hottest Year on Record

  • @Steve It does sound geeky, but yes, it is technically correct to say about a year that is the hottest year on record.

    And the fact you pointed that every single year becomes the hottest year on record makes it even more dangerous and shows that we need to take proper measures.
