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. :/

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

Not suggesting anything of course, but Trump just bought himself a Tesla and if he really really wanted to help Musk improve Tesla’s image…

I’m confused about this too, I’ve subscribed to the hashtag #buyeuropean on mastodon and I see posts from this community here over there? 🤔

Have you considered creating new communities for your niche interests? You might just find like-minded people here. :)

The company behind the app is kinda shit though. The German weather service, paid by German taxpayers to collect and provide weather data, has a weather app which used to be free, since it’s already paid for by taxes. wetteronline (who by the way happily use the weather data from the German weather service for free for their own app) sued because they thought it’s not fair that they have to compete with a better app that’s both free and ad-free because, again, taxpayers already pay for the weather service. As result now if you want to use the official weather app provided by the weather service you gotta pay for it, despite already having paid for it in taxes.

All that said, the weather service’s app WarnWetter is still the best in my opinion, well worth the 2.50€ that fucking wetteronline forced them to charge for the full version.
