What's that smiling ghost in Kosovo?

[โ€“] casadia880@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

Waze, it's a navigation app owned by Google

[โ€“] RedSnt@feddit.dk 54 points 17 hours ago

So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.

This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

Because Google Play spams you with it, I guess.

[โ€“] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 24 points 13 hours ago

It is the most downloaded app in 2024

I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.

[โ€“] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

pretty sure this is bullshit. have seen some other maps on there too. unconvincing stats with no sources.

TIL Bulgaria is the best country in Europe

[โ€“] De_Narm@lemmy.world 158 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's depressing as fuck.

[โ€“] Cherry@piefed.social 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know. Cheap crap is a stain.

[โ€“] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

It's not about cheap crap, it's about the predatory nature of almost all apps shown and how well-known it is that they're ethically bad.

Goddamn right Crimea is part of Ukraine.

The Netherlands continues to be my top choice for a place to live if I end up fleeing my country. If they'll have me.

[โ€“] Lumisal@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

It's expensive. Don't forget to buy the floor for your apartment.

Edit: I'm serious about the floor. Apartments don't come with flooring included.

[โ€“] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I live in San Francisco, I'm used to things being expensive. The floor thing is crazy though.

[โ€“] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm sure a lot of us here can say that's the only one on the map we have

Maxima Grupฤ— UAB is a Lithuanian group of retail chain companies operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Bulgaria.

LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ...

can it though, or just claims to be able to? as I know no apps without root privileges cqn do such things. unless it just searches things in the gallery recycle bin, in which case it is again useless because the gallery app can be used for that

Serbia has an itchy delete finger, apparently.

Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It's a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.

[โ€“] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.

[โ€“] leds@feddit.dk 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Not just support it but sometimes it's the only option, so you also have to support their business even if you just paying upfront. (and hand over your personal data)

Loving Bulgaria. Everybody's doing social networks, meanwhile they're "ooh, a puzzle game!"

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 17 hours ago

You know, I mostly hear about how Soviet-looking Bulgaria still is from my family over that way. Everyone playing Tetris adds to that.

[โ€“] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

Temu is more like a capitalism network than a social network, but yeah Chad Bulgaria playing tetris instead of giving into consumerism.

People really use temu? I thought it was all crap.

Edit:

[โ€“] smeg@feddit.uk 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is most downloaded not most used, so I'd reckon a lot of people heard about it, downloaded it, used it, realised it was all crap, then deleted it.

[โ€“] Thorry84@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People would rather download the app to figure that out than just visit the website? That's still depressing.

But probably temu was like get 50% off your first order via the app or something like that?

Only Netherland and Bulgaria can be proud of themselves.

[โ€“] huppakee@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago

Nobody can be as proud of themselves (because of this list I mean) as Lithuania: "LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ..."

"Wtf is TEMU?"

Oh...

Also, wtf is MA IMA?

[โ€“] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Temu is basically Wish.

Maxima is a Lithuanian retail chain which operates throughout the Baltics.

Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their "shop now, buy later" function
