Don’t forget to backup your subscriptions. Its really easy, it just generates a opml textfile, which every other reader could import.

For me everything more than 10’ of walking from my home is a bike default. Except i need to transport bulky equipment or it rains very strongly. Then its walking with umbrella + bus/train. (I dont own a car, as I live in a City.)

Almost all parties that refused the first time were for it this time. It is completly differently inplemented this second time.

To be fair: Every single appartment/house stayed in in the UK was so poorly isolated that it felt fresh and cold already when entering a room with outside walls/windows. In Germany/Switzerland many modern houses are basically pretty much airtightly sealed and well isolated

I agree, but usually the vendor picks the highest bidder ;)

Its a good Youtube frontend imo. I use it daily on mobile. It is amazing if you watch content from different plattforms, like Nebula. Then you get everything in one app.

What would that mean for Linux distros? It seems like it could be a law that cuts off the competition. Like amazon who is very selectively for better working conditions when the know that no competitior can fulfull them.

For road cars yes, a bit is because of safety. For the US its mostly because of the one law about light trucks being work-vehicles and so they didnt get taxed the same or something.

https://netzpolitik.org/2025/bargeld-tracking-du-hast-ueberwachungsinstrumente-im-portemonnaie/ Sorry for german. But apparently baknote serial number tracking is a thing. High profile threat level but doable.

Just went to look at it on a satelite image. And I mean, i apprechiate the try to make a street smaller and a bit greener. But why in the name of lungcancer would you ever want to park your car in the middle of two 2-4 wide roads?? And then there are still cars parked on the side/paving…?

Symphonium supports playlists. You can make a own manual playlist or a “smart” playlist, which has the x amount of least listened to songs, the 10 highest rated ones and so on. Everything is on the listening device local, so you have to backup for yourself. Symphonium is really really customizable.

Sorry for german. A setting for an intelligent playlist for all highly rated songs which I havent listented to in 70 days. (AND/OR) can be set for rules. Its amazing.

Music recommendation is not really a thing unfortunately by the nature which most of download->server->jellyfin->client systems run.

You really need the “big data”-aspect which spotify or similar providers have to have good recommendation, so no local solution is possible. I sometimes use listenbrainz (by the musicbrainz team) like lastfm and then manually aquire new music I want to have on my musicserver.

Jellyfin works nicely for music, as long as you use a good client. The native jellyfin mobile app is not optimized for music. I use symphonium for android listening and am very pleased with it. More settings than Id ever need, different options for downloading/caching songs on device, support for subtitles and all.

Most important question.

Also try to transition her slowly from outlook -> Thunderbird and chrome -> firefox and so on. Then after a few weeks at least do the switch to linux mint. Then the shock of all the new things is smaller

I think they mean that it not only isnt tied to a specific plattform (PC, Mobile, Laptops,…) but also it isnt tied to a platform (like Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook or Signal). This also means that there are different clients for that protocol

Yea, I also thought about tipping points. But I think that the white buildings/streets or even painted surface could never make up for the lost (white) ice surface

Its not the stupidest of all proposal, as locally it warms up less (white reflects more, darker colors absorb more of the solar energy). I dont know for certain but it might be a reason that people in hot countries sometimes paint their houses white.

Globally it wont make a difference of course. It isnt a mitigation/prevention of climate change but rather a adaption. Like stretching a sun-sail over the porch.

In both cases it makes more sense to choose biological solutions if possible (grass instead of white asphalt, a tree instead of a sun sail).

What about onlinebanks? Also a hard no?

That is fascinating to me as well:

Movies > Big filesizes > many public trackers and seeders

Music > smaller and easier to store/play > less public trackers, only slsk is really viable

Books > even smaller > there are some websites like anna and a lot of small ones

But then: Sheet music > even smaller files > almost impossible to pirate

It is fascinating to me that there isnt one clear spectum along filesize.

I guess it has to do with the target audience and demand.

There are several images but I think I know what you mean. Those are common for smaller gardeners in Switzerland.

Pickup trucks are not required for tossing stuff in the back. Because Europeans do need to transport stuff, from piles if dirt to wooden kitchens which need to be installed. And all of it most often doesnt happen with a pickup truck.

Mercedes Sprinter Vans

Or this kind of car for loading open air (“Pritschenwagen” in german)

All with normal grill-hight and probably a lower truckbed than pickup trucks
