Seems my spam reports are upsetting a spammer who tries to subscribe me to weird mailing lists and swinger groups. LOL. Good thing is that EU regulations require a double opt-in so I just ignore the "please confirm" mails.
@jwildeboer Please don't, you're on the right side.
Small anecdote: my 20-year old daughter is currently traveling in Asia. Some days back out of nowhere she said: "Europe is actually pretty cool: potable tap water and rule of law." (She had an accident and had to deal with local police.)

Unified chargers, free roaming, travel, study and work everywhere in the EU, simple bank transfers with SEPA and Wero. EU makes life better. It' definitely not GoodEnough™ in all parts.Work remains to be done. And that's worth doing!
Originally from a Facebook post by the EU Commission, ALT text added by me.
After the trade agreement with MERCOSUR, which took 25 years, now a trade agreement with India after 20 years of negotiations. The EU stoically pushes onward. When chaos surrounds you, build bridges and stability. #ThanksEU

€2.95B fine from the @EUCommission against Google. While their spindoctors tried to push the message that Europe will bow before Trump with regard to Big Tech in the past few days (and many news outlets happily ran that biased story).

Did you know? If you have data that you want to share as a citable source, you need a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). One provider of DOIs is https://zenodo.org/ a project funded by CERN, OpenAIRE and the European Union. Register, add your data and get a DOI! It has Github integration, so you can just point it to a Github repo and whenever you add a release on Github, you get a DOI :) I will try to get the same functionality in codeberg/Forgejo.
