That's cool and all but it's a tiny obscure party that got 0.0% in the recent elections (they did get some votes but not measurable with only one decimal), so I'm afraid their approval of this movement won't have a huge impact.

Bring it on then, who gives a fuck at this point.

Will "it would've been way cheaper if they hadn't ignored every single wake-up call in the last 10 years and started investing in defense earlier but it still needs to get fucking done and FAST or there won't be a democracy with polls anymore and your precious money is taken by Russian occupiers" be an option in that poll?

But since the software is open source you can just take it and host it yourself, so no American company involved anymore.

I mean, yes they're not entirely wrong. On the other hand, at this point it doesn't really matter anymore. No one's buying that shit even at current prices, increasing prices with tariffs can't really make that any worse IMO.

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.

 

Russia is manipulating global AI models by embedding its propaganda within them, a tactic termed "AI grooming," which raises concerns about the potential influence of these models on public opinion and the reliability of information disseminated by AI systems.

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.

 

Direct link to the news site but the article is worth reading as well to learn what it's about. Basically a bunch of European public broadcasters teamed up to make a news site where you can find interesting news from all over Europe that you'd otherwise probably miss.

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

 

Welcome to the brand new NAFO community on Lemmy!

I just created this community because I thought it's weird that there wasn't one already, let's see how this goes. This might be a good palce for more in-depth discussions, promoting fundraisers, organizing stuff and so on.

If you're completely new to Lemmy, here is a good way to start. It doesn't matter on which instance you create an account, you can still search all over the fediverse and subscribe to this community on lemm.ee.

Here is a list of clients/apps for Lemmy.

Some other relevant communities worth checking out:
