Didn't this guy just go on French national TV and say that Macron is a dictator?
I think if this guy gets voted in, Romania might say bye bye to its EU funds.

I heard that Poland is also cheering for some MAGA guy in the next election... Troubling times ahead.
For Romania, there might still be a chance in the run-off. However, the difference between the two candidates was quite large (20% difference; 1.8 million votes). Similarly, the other candidates seemed to have voters that would rather vote for the nazi. Most likely all hope is lost, but that 1% chance is still there.
It would be a shame if someone were to make a post with their office locations across Europe and share it in all the European communities on Lemmy...
What's the plan against this? It's pretty clear that this type of grifting works. Hungary kept Orban in power for far too long, and now Romania might be next.
Romania has previously jumped into a war, only to change sides later. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up taking the bait before the upcoming presidential elections. From what I've heard, the far right candidate that's left in the race is betting that he will get the votes of everyone that voted for Calin Georgescu. His platform? Being a boot licker for Trump.
Troubling times for the Balkans.
It was just announced that the EU is pausing sustainability requirements on smaller business (< 500 employees) for 2 years. This stems from fears related to the trade war, as they want to keep smaller businesses competitive. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that this won't be great for the environment.
For notes, I have moved to Joplin with the option to synchronize my data using a WebDAV server. It works really well, and it has both a mobile and desktop app. If you're interested in developing your project, maybe you can have a look at the options this provides. For example, I really like the ability to separate notes between groups, assign tags, create drawings, and the possibility to use Markdown.
Good luck with your projects! To mirror @enemenemu's suggestion, I would also look into collaborating with the people trying to push the EU Docs alternative. Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a shot if you're interested :D
Thanks for the SherpaTTS suggestion. I really like the GLaDOS voice <3
I am not sure which phone you use, but are you able to set FUTO Voice as the default "Voice input" in the Android settings? I played around with a few apps, which show up. However, FUTO is not an option here :(
Thanks for the suggestion! I gave this a try, but it seems that it won't register any voice 🤔 However, it seems like it shows up in my settings, so it's a good sign. I'll try to get it to work :D
Thanks! I was actually looking at this, but I gave up because I couldn't really figure out how to get a multilingual model running through Obtainium. I'll try again :D
Mine's just one I got from a random kid name generator.
A bit off-topic: not sure why, but I keep seeing posts here on Lemmy lately about Romanian women pulling the short end of the stick in terms of gender equality. I hope I'm not offending in any way with this question, but is Romania sticking to the traditional gender roles?
Look into Cosmic DE. It has a similar vibe if you set up tiling, but without all the headache of configuring all the components so that it is usable.
