@hpod16 Very nice to have those sample tests.
-
And why am I bringing this to Mastodon?
Well, #Facebook groups are still a major way for people who are studying for the #EPSO to connect, share study tips, help eachother ...and do lots of complaining...
In any case, why can't the Fediverse fill that space?
So I plan to blog about it as I study: to promote the EU here, and to draw more EU nerds to Mastodon, who may hear that EU nerds are sharing real cool study tips over on the Fediverse...
#EPSOprep@hpod16 Thanks for this. I'm not on Facebook and I have been trying to encourage people who think that's the best place to share things to give Mastodon a try instead. We can build something here.

@hpod16 No, I just saw saw that they had samples, so had a look at some of the questions.

@Veza85UE Dare I ask what's up with that council thing though? Or will that throw me into a constitutional affairs rabbit hole?
@hpod16 How much time do you have?😄 tldr: though he often annoys me, Keating has it spot on here and I think the consequences for the way EUropeans vote are dire and enabling the Worst people in politics. No body politic can NOT be dysfunctional with this level of ignorance from its citizens about who runs the EU and is ultimately responsible for its decisions.

@Veza85UE well, it's not my place to comment all too much, I'll just say that I think we could use some more competence areas in which the council does not vote with unanimity, but with QMV. But I'll leave it at that and stay otherwise very diplomatic. 🫳🎤

@ml just as Schuman said: "Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity"
- in the same sense we will build up the Fediverse, everyone who host a community, or shares interesting content, anyone who engages, stays kind and makes this a place I'd rather be than X -

@hpod16 Haha, not trying to get you into trouble, but honestly I started the #WTFisTheCouncil tag because I couldn't stand to see yet another Mastodon user make irate posts about why isn't von der Leyen actually using Art. 7 and freeze Orban's veto?? Sometimes they also @ the Parliament or Kallas. Literally anybody but their own government/EUCO rep who can actually do something about it. It has funnier longterm consequences too, imo.

@Veza85UE ugh.... yes
So many decisions get caught up in the council, especially if it's a unanimity vote, meaning one country can have a veto. And the politicians in the member states love to blame Brussels for everything and call us grey faceless bureaucrats. Do I look grey to you?
*Rant over* -

*Rant over*@hpod16 They control what gets taught in schools (little to nothing on this particular topic) so... sorry, the only way you're ever purple and not grey is if someone pays me a decent budget to write a miniseries about EU politics and unmask member states #BlameBrussels scam. 🤷

@sunnythesheep @Veza85UE well actually... the colour does fade to grey in the after a while 😆 💜 Ok, so I may be a bit of a grey bureaucrat.

@bardnet @xkcd which means they've also missed that it's a horror movie and that the main character had likely spent a minimum of 30 years subjective time in that loop, possibly much more.

@ozamidas @mcc That's sylpheed https://github.com/sylpheed-mail/sylpheed

i like the optimism embedded in the term "late stage capitalism"

@attilakinali @mcc damn, what email client is that? im curious

ah, avevo letto 2026... 😜

@mcc @rachelplusplus IIRC some Samsung laptops could get bricked by writing too much data to the EFI variable area (which easily happened with Linux kernel crashes, but could also happen from Windows).
-
@mcc@mastodon.social thing is, there really isn't anything that would fill that hole
And the claim that open source outlasts proprietary software is a bit [citation needed]
-
@mcc I've never done that, but I did once do
cd /lib; rm -rf modules/2.4.12/ *
(including the accidental space). That was fun, while my system curled up and died.
