@neme So you can scan any document in Google Wallet, and scan any document in the Files app as well, and in Google Drive. Thanks, Google, for another round of service duplication!

@LaFinlandia from behind it kinda looks like a coffin with a boat engine, which is kinda fitting for its purpose.

@Enkrod I see where you are going, but Eastern Europe generally has a lot to go in order to get inclusion right. Like, right now, one of the two larger far right parties in here (yes, we have two and we sent them both to Brussels) are heavily promoting an initiative to add into constitution the fact that a family can only be composed of a man and a woman, as well as the right to pay with cash (yes, I know how crazy that sounds, it doesn't matter what happens in reality). And we're already in both the EU and NATO.

Will the @EUCommission bat an eye at all the voter fraud allegations in the Romanian elections, or will it keep partying on the Titanic because the center is holding?

For context: Here in #Romania we had both local and #EuropeanElections this Sunday. The results for the 1st and 2nd sectors of #Bucharest appear to have been heavily rigged in favor of the ruling coalition formed by #PSD-PNL (members of #S&E and #PPE respectively).

Firstly, in multiple polling sections it was reported that voters received paper ballots already stamped next to #PSD-PNL. Then the count began late at night, when the personnel was already tired.

Then, in the 2nd sector of #Bucharest, it was reported that the votes for #USR (member of #RenewEurope) were mistaken with those for #SOSRomania, a #far-right party with its leader having close ties to #Moscow. The voting commission in that section admitted the mistake they made, but the Central Election Bureau did not want to correct the mistake at first. They finally allowed the re-counting process of the already cast ballots, but it is reported that the bags containing them has been already found and tampered (some ballots are missing). How is the center holding if a party which is also part of the center and with a strong pro-European stance has its votes (which were more!) wrongfully swapped with those (which were less!) of a far right party?

In the 1st district of #Bucharest nearly a quarter of the voting sections had errors in their verbal process following the count. In one of these sections, it is reported that over 1000 ballots are missing after the count, as the reported total number of these is bigger than the total number that you can calculate. And no, tiredness doesn't seem to be a factor, as there is more than one digit being wrong. Other similar situations were reported at other polling sections as well.

There are reports of canceled ballots, even though they were supposed to be valid.

Speaking of tiredness, the delegates from each polling station are being held waiting outside, in scorching heat, waiting to have the results received by the Local Election Comission Bureaus. This is downright psychological torture on people that are supposed to ensure a fair process in the elections, and it is completely unacceptable!

In the 1st district, there was also a report of bags being opened and tampered by the #PSD representative, after the elections.

These seem like minor issues, but in these districts of Bucharest, the candidates of both PSD-PNL and USR were neck and neck in the race, so every little error in the voting process (especially when it seems clearly intended by the former) has the potential of influencing the voting results.

And issues like these are also reported on the EU Election side: some people who voted for the #REPER party (also part of #RenewEurope) found that no votes have been cast at the very polling sections they actually voted at! Because the #REPER party is a smaller one (albeit still having MEPs and MPs in the national parliament) they weren't allowed to have a representative in the election commissions around the country, so they couldn't tell if voter fraud was happening to them like #USR could.

Will the Comission or anyone else in #Brussells comment or investigate these happenings? In my, and other Romanian citizen's opinion, these events represent a serious attack on basic democratic principles, undermining the core of democracy in the EU country sharing the longest border with Ukraine.

Kind reminder că Robert Negoiță a apărut în cea mai mare scurgere de date despre companii off-shore folosite în scop infracțional de până acum.

Nu știu dacă sunt așa mulți oameni pe Fedivers pentru care este important să vadă asta, dar totuși țin să vă amintesc de faptul că numele lui #RobertNegoiță apare alături de multe alte nume controversate cum este fostul premier britanic #TonyBlair, #VladimirPutin sau șefi de stat și de guvern din Iordania, Kenya, Ecuador sau Cehia, precum și oameni de afaceri influenți într-o listă nu prea fericită. Este vorba despre #PandoraPapers, o colecție de documente de vreo 2,94 TB pusă cap la cap de jurnaliștii #ICIJ în anul 2021, arătând cum toți oamenii de mai sus s-au folosit de aceste firme din paradisuri fiscale pentru a spăla bani publici sau pentru a comite evaziune fiscală. Ca să vă faceți o idee despre cât de mare e colecția aceasta de documente, vă las și următoarea imagine mai jos.

Dintre toate acestea, nu am descoperit vreun singur alt politician de la noi din țară care să se afle măcar pe una din acele liste. Felicitări, Robert Negoiță - premiu'-ntâi cu coroniță! 👑👑👑

First the USSR crushed Poland, then the Baltics (the last one still in one piece in the pic is Lithuania), then it's Romania. Then you know which ball is the big blue one, then all previously crushed states join NATO, then in the last pic the ball in the right is Russia.

@Ulara the US and pretty much everyone in the world became spoiled about how warfare should be fought. Probably there's also the memory of WW2 when entire cities were leveled to 0 in bombings and shelling, so the alternative of carrying an urban fight became more desirable. Despite this, Russia seems to not care about this fact and actually bomb and level entire cities and other settlements to the ground instead.

@QuazarOmega Checkmate atheists!!!

@0x815 at this point no one willing to live a civilized life (i.e. in the city and just about any sort of settlement) has any reason to stay in Russia whatsoever. There's no point in living like a fugitive, like some sort of a criminal just to avoid drafting.

It's sad that it happens this way though.

@CoderSupreme This would sadly also be easier for any interested party to block it. i.e. ISPs could block it easier, copyright holders could have an easier time suing the platform owners and have it shut down and if the platform gets big and popular enough (like, for example, how YouTube is for videos of any sort) some content that would be hosted exclusively on that platform would likely be gone for good.

For a platform this big to survive and serve its original purpose, unhindered by DMCAs and stuff, it would be really, really hard.

Plus, the internet now is more regulated than it was 20-30 years ago when nowadays popular names like Piratebay first appeared.

And I personally don't mind going to a few dozen websites that only a handful of people on the internet know in order to get my stuff. If any of that website gets too popular, it risks closure. Better to only have 1 website of these closed instead of all these.

@0x815 I always when I see news like this I sit and think whether in a similar situation it would be worth risking my life, my integrity, my career etc. just to make a statement against the government.

I don't think I could resist after some point.

I have huge respect for such people!

@Kuro I came across this post from the federated feed and I was unsure why there was a post telling Jerboa to die. Then I realised I was reading a post in German, lol.
