Europe, our home 🌍

Today, we celebrate the European dream and the values that bring us together.

The Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950 laid the groundwork for the European Union that we know today.

And if you are in Brussels or nearby, come celebrate and visit us, at our Berlaymont building.

Europe Day is your day! πŸ’™

For us Ecosia works just fine as our search engine of choice. And the team just hit their goal of 25,000,000 planted trees! Amazing!

Scenes from Budapest following OrbΓ‘n’s defeat

PSA: If you share a YouTube video using the native share feature it now attaches your user ID (?si=xxxxxx) to the URL automatically.

YT likely does this to growth-hack DMs. When someone clicks on the link, YT can start a DM thread between you two automatically with this ID even if they found the link outside of the YT app.

If you post links publicly, I strongly recommend deleting the ID unless you want to post your user profile.

People are going to have their personal info leaked by third party age verification services due to these laws. Children are going to be harmed by apps and websites changing their behavior to exploit them. It isn't going to stop minors finding pornography if they want to find it.

Stolen from Reddit but very much worth sharing:
