Always wondered this too! It's more of annoyance really cause it always shows up in image searches but then you can't download the full size image without getting an account, I've actually been looking for ways to block that page in my search results.

So, RFK is literally Jesus for preaching God's will that kids must die from measles? 🤔

Yeah, for me the main point is not to help US companies make money, either by paying them directly or by giving them my data which they can can sell. With open source software that's covered most of the time, especially when self-hosted.

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.

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.
