🇷🇴 Declinul educației nu vine doar din subfinanțare, ci din instabilitate legislativă, politizare, admitere fără standarde și proliferarea diplomelor fără acoperire în competență. Când impostura e tolerată la vârf, ea se generalizează la bază.

Autopsia educației din România

Există obiectiv popoare ”inferioare” și popoare ”superioare”  Există obiectiv popoare superioare și popoare inferioare, care pot fi identificate la fel de ușor și de indiscutabil ca geamurile și cuiele.   În popoarele superioare, cei cinstiți, onești și muncitori sînt cei solidari, și îi marginalizează și izolează pe cei  care fac fraude,

We've preliminary found that TikTok is in breach of the DSA for its addictive design.

There are important indicators of compulsive use of the app that TikTok has disregarded in its risk assessment.

Key features of the addictive design:
🔹Infinite scroll
🔹Autoplay
🔹Push notifications
🔹Highly personalised recommender system

We consider that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service.

TikTok can now exercise its right to examine and reply to the finding.

We’re keeping our drinking water safe. 💧

From today, EU countries must monitor PFAS levels in drinking water. PFAS are long-lasting chemicals that can be harmful, if levels are too high.

If that happens authorities must act and inform people until the water is safe again.

Because everyone deserves access to safe drinking water.

A daytime surprise in the garden 🦔☀️

In the middle of the day, this curious European hedgehog showed up and confidently helped itself to the cats’ food. Not exactly the typical daytime visitor — and definitely an unusual guest for a garden on the edge of a big city.
