European Commission has a "Wifi4EU" initative, provides 93k high-speed private access points across the EU, free of charge.

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/25779751

The intative promises to be privacy-friendly with no tracking. Stating:
Your privacy is important. The WiFi4EU app ensures a private online experience with no tracking or data collection. Simply connect and enjoy free public Wi-Fi without concerns.

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)

Free Wireless ISP, you say?
cheapskate romanian sounds
- 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.
  
  Pretty sure they are themselves Romanian.
  Can you even be racist against yourself?
  
  Yes you can.
  
  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.

  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.

  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.
