Relevant research that just won an ig nobel prize.

tl;dr: they don’t live longer, they just don’t report their dead relatives and pocket the pensions.

I don’t mind the UI, but I also mostly use it as widget on the home screen where it blends in quite nicely.

Outside Europe I have no idea, I’d just give it a try and see what shows up. I’ve used it on vacations in other EU countries though and it always worked just fine.

Well here’s the thing, if no one shows up then there’s nothing to moderate, and if people show up you can make one or several of moderators. ;) But you’ll never find out unless you create a community.

Just talked about this in the comments of another post. If you already have a VPN it might be worth checking out the libraries of German public broadcasting services ZDF and ARD as well, they too have an impressive selection of series and movies. Most are European productions but there’s also some popular US/Netflix stuff. For example ZDF has the series Rookie for free at the moment. Content is German but they often/usually also have original audio for non-german productions.

I’ve cancelled all my streaming services lately and grew to really like the offers of public broadcasters. It would be great if we could assemble a list of European public broadcasters along with some relevant information, for example if they’re geoblocking (VPN required), which languages they usually offer and so on.

Yeah that’s annoying, and the page relies heavily on JavaScript, not even article links work without JS, otherwise I’d make my own feed/have the page crawled by inoreader. :/

Germany’s public broadcasting services have pretty decent streaming sites too, mostly European productions (love all those dark Scandinavian crime thrillers) but also even some US blockbusters. Unfortunately geoblocked as well but a VPN should fix that. ZDF and ARD are the two big ones and then there’s a bunch of regional ones in top, however they share most their content between them so chances are you’ll only need one of those pages.

Age restriction is a thing here too but only necessary until 22:00, apparently they assume kids are all in bed then and they don’t need to check your age anymore. :)

EDIT: Arte is a French/German cooperation BTW, they have both French and German productions and everything gets dubbed in French/German respectively.

I buy Hela ketchup at Aldi, so I guess it’s their store brand? Definitely cheap.

Not suggesting anything of course, but Trump just bought himself a Tesla and if he really really wanted to help Musk improve Tesla’s image…

I’m confused about this too, I’ve subscribed to the hashtag #buyeuropean on mastodon and I see posts from this community here over there? 🤔

Have you considered creating new communities for your niche interests? You might just find like-minded people here. :)

The company behind the app is kinda shit though. The German weather service, paid by German taxpayers to collect and provide weather data, has a weather app which used to be free, since it’s already paid for by taxes. wetteronline (who by the way happily use the weather data from the German weather service for free for their own app) sued because they thought it’s not fair that they have to compete with a better app that’s both free and ad-free because, again, taxpayers already pay for the weather service. As result now if you want to use the official weather app provided by the weather service you gotta pay for it, despite already having paid for it in taxes.

All that said, the weather service’s app WarnWetter is still the best in my opinion, well worth the 2.50€ that fucking wetteronline forced them to charge for the full version.

OP’s a tankie troll who believes buying European is “nationalist”, just ignore.
