Will be interesting to see how this spans and plays out in reality. Looks promising too, did a quick scan of their builtin permissions and trackers and looks good too. (Scanning tool is called Exodus)

      Germans are gonna start getting out their old cantennas or nanostations and point it at the closest hotspot

      Of course I would never do such a thing, being half german, living in Germany. Certainly didn’t live off a nearby restaurants wifi hotspot for almost 2 years.

      Oh, sure. That’s fair. Just like how the US kicked the Natives off of their land. </sarcasm>

      Classic European flavored racism. Are you aware that you are promoting racism or not? I think mindfulness is key here. People should consider their own internal biases and adjust to help make a better world.

            Yes, I live in Romania.

            It was a joke, but also true.

            I don’t see the racist part, but please excuse me if I’ve offended you.

            descurcăreț - someone who makes use of the flaws in rulings. It’s not even a negative term.

              <sincerity> Sorry about the other response I made being accusatory. I get the difference between self-deprecating humor about one’s family, and actual boomerang racism. Thanks for clearing things up. </sincerity>

        If Hule wants to make cheapskate Romanian sounds he’s allowed to. It’s his goddamn choice whether he wants to be a cheapskate or not.
