  • [Potentially weekly thread] What European shows or movies have you watched this week?

    Jump

  • Great idea, I'm always looking for stuff to watch.

    I just watched Borderline, the ~20th remake of The Bridge, this one's set in the border region of Ireland/Northern Ireland. It's not great but not super terrible either.

    Then I watched 3 commisaire Dupin movies that are currently available on German public broadcasting streaming sites. Again not exactly blockbusters, I mostly watched them cause I read all the books and I like the nice landscape shots in Bretagne. :)

    Basically I'm just watching all the crime series they got on ZDF.de lately.

  • Jailbreaking: Turning My Kindle to A Juggernaut E-Reader

    Jump

  • Nice, I just watched a video today about jailbreaking and gave it a try and it's super easy, took like 10min and is fool proof. Hadn't had time to check out all the benefits though but KOreader seems really nice and just sending epubs to your Kindle w/o Amazon in the middle is nice too.

  • 'Watch him sweat': Europe reportedly sharpens knives as it sees 'self-destructive' Trump

    Jump

  • That would require him to give a single shit about the consequences of his actions, but he'd rather watch his country burn than admit he was wrong about something.

  • I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that as soon as there is a anything on the website that could (even just in theory) help you make a single cent, it's considered commercial. Any ad banner, an affiliate link or in case of your author partner a link to their books on amazon or wherever is probably enough to be considered commercial. I honestly wouldn't take any risk there, especially as an author. 1 single hater is enough to cost you up to 5k€.

  • buy-european.net Philosophy

    Jump

  • It's not just for commercial websites, any website that provides any kind of content is subject to Impressumspflicht. AFAIK strictly private/personal websites are exempt in theory, however in Germany it's a fun pastime for asshole lawyers to automatedly search the web for websites w/o impressum and sue to make a few bucks off of some poor granny's recipe blog, so it's better to be safe than sorry. And since people generally don't want to put their full private address on the web and most don't have have a postbox or something like that, I totally get why they'd use the company for simplicity.

  • Trump Plans $92 Million Military Parade—Honoring Himself | Donald Trump is pulling straight from the dictator’s playbook.

  • I'm 100% convinced DOGE will stop this as it is not very efficient use of tax money.

  • How do foreign nationals feel about Estonia's decision to revoke their voting rights?

    Jump

  • Don't know if it's true for all EU countries but it's very common I think, although "local" elections meaning municipal elections, not the "local" federal elections.

  • Careful about Heise. Their tech news are probably alright but they also got Telepolis which is their super weird conspiracy nut pro-russian political branch and it's easy to end up reading that shit on their intermixed website.

  • TBH while Springer's main outlets like BILD are shit, I found politico quite alright so far. I mean whatever news source you're consuming it's important to know where they're coming from anyway. I like politico cause there's no shit paywall and non-enshittified website and also a proper RSS feed, which is super rare these days.

  • Haven't used it myself yet so can't talk about it their recommendation algorithm, but Qobuz has been recommended several times here, it's French and apparently has a very good payout to artists per play compared to others.

  • Mapy.com adding traffic information for Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Austria

  • That looks much better, thanks!

  • Anti-American Sentiment Rises in Europe as Trump Fuels Anger

    Jump

  • The 70s was before my time, I remember the Canadian flag thing though. But as I understood that's more about not wanting to be associated with other American tourists who can behave quite obnoxiously when traveling in groups and taking full advantage of strong cheap local beers and the lower legal drinking age. There is and always was some degree of anti-americanism from the left, but on a political level and not something you'd have to worry about as an individual tourist. The headline is also a bit misleading in that sense, this "anti-americanism" is directed at Trump's shenanigans, not random tourists.

  • Mapy.com adding traffic information for Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Austria

    Jump

  • I gave it a shot but without public transport navigation it's pretty useless for me. Also I don't enjoy being bugged to create an account or pay 19€ for a "premium user badge" just to make that "please give us money" button go away that's permanently covering part of the map.

  • fluffychat is another decent client worth trying.

  • Carinthia, high quality jackets from Austria

    Jump

  • Not just jackets, all kinds of outdoor clothes as well as sleeping bags and other camping stuff. Crazy expensive though.

  • OTTO, an alternative to Amazon in Germany works very well

    Jump

  • 10€ per year for free shipping sounds great actually, but I guess it depends on what percentage of stuff is shipped by OTTO and how much from market place people that are not included. Will definitely check it out, thanks!

  • Do they have something like Prime where you pay a flat fee per month/year and then shipping is free?
