Just checked Molly, still requires phone number to register. Isn’t it an alternative app for Signal?

Thank.you for the correction! I’ll fix it in my comment too.

I listened to podcasts on Antennapod for years. It’s open source and free, but there are many other podcast platforms. Used Pocket Cast before too, very good, but proprietary. Those services don’t have Spotify exclusive, but have all others.

Germany recycles the most plastic in Europe, while also using the most plastic. So I’m not surprised. I personallyprefer shopping in Turkish supermarkets in Germany to avoid plastic packaging (I bring my own).

I use Qobuz now, and they are great, with human-curated playlists and suggestions. So far, I love it.

Heartbreaking: ( Poor animals:(

I don’t live in Russia anymore, but none of my acquaintances there care about this kind of exhibitions. At least my bubble knows it’s propaganda and corruption, and would avoid these kind of events. I’m sure many others would visit and feel so veeeeery offended at how terribly Russians are treated in the world…

There was, but it was all stomped in the very beginning.

I switched to Qobuz recently and started to actual discover new music again after years on Spotify.

I can only applaud people who do that in the US: the cost of education is outrageous.

Here in Germany people prolong their education by years, since it’s almost free, you can work part-time, and there’s no need to rush.

If the US system won’t be robbing young people of hundreds thousands dollars, they wouldn’t feel compelled to try and hack the system.

I won’t use Max under any circumstances and won’t recommend it to my family. Testing out SimpleX for now.

I hate everything that’s being done. A large part of my family lives there, and just getting them on a call is now not an easy task.

(I mean, I hate Putin and his government for many other things too. Restricted Internet perhaps is the least of their crimes, but this least is getting longer and longer and longer…)

Finally, good news since Mamdani!

I’m so happy for Hungary and for the EU! Hungarians, u rock!!! :))

And young generation in rich countries also becomes poorer, as a few privileged become even richer.

Is there a petition against it or something? Should be illegal.

Trump threatening genocide out loud is horrendous. All of the world leaders that barely shrug off the threat if at all are horrendous.

It’s normalization of the absolute worst.

+++, I’m following German politics, and gen Z votes for far right / far left (man / women groups respectively). Plus I’ve heard in a podcast that you g Gen Z men are more misogynistic than boomers, which speaks a lot.

Now, if a quarter of young people in one of the most developed regions in the world are at the risk of poverty, it explains a lot… Fear and distrust are rather expected.

I wish as an adult in the EU I could do more.

25% at the risk of poverty/social exclusion is a terrible, terrible number. 😨

Interesting. Same in construction industry!

Everyone was so expecting this, and yet…
