No relevant EN podcasts from me fwiw. I do have some Romanian recommendations if you want to:

• Știrile Zilei Recorder - daily news from the independent investigation publication Recorder - they mainly quote other media sources, but they’re a good and fairly neutral digest of general daily news in Romanian.
• Recorder Talks - a collab with politica la minut - a (social) media project aiming to better explain the political events in simple terms in order to combat disinformation
• Vorbitorincii - hosted by Cătălin Striblea, a journalist at Europa FM, together with writer Radu Paraschivescu and a few others. It is a bit right leaning, but they positioned themselves firmly against fascism and our far-right political forces
• Istoria României (The History of Romania) - as the name implies, it is a history podcast. Although the host previously worked in IT, she manages to provide a comprehensive, fairly balanced and non-nationalistic vision of the events. She also declared that she is a fan of Mike Duncan.
• Arhiva de Sunet (The Sound Archive) - a listened history of Romanian music. All genres and subgenres, from jazz, to rock to manele.

How many EU countries does it plan to support?

How time flies…

Ah, I see. Well, I hope that helps too. Plus there are apps that use the @transitous database. Maybe your city is there too.

I tried öffi. Nothing works in my country besides regular passenger trains, which I don’t take that often. If neither OM and Co work with public transit, then I would rather recommend any app that pulls its information from Transitous. I tried it with Träwelling just for the fun of the game, but it did work really great

Use Bolt instead of Uber. An actual European service from Estonia.

Edit: and if you want to be more European in this regard, use your city’s public transit. There might be an app for it too.

Yeah, I have a similar experience with Organic Maps. We don’t have anything like the S Bahn yet in Bucharest, but we have a metro and it works with it. However the vast majority of my trips are made with the surface transit (buses, trams and trolleybuses) and that’s where Organic Maps doesn’t help.

Looks like they’re working on an integration with the GTFS feeds, albeit I would’ve been happier if they used an already established project like @transitous instead

CoMaps is an interesting project, but I’ve gotten so used to Organic Maps 😁 are there any other features it has that could make it stand out from Organic Maps? (Besides the map colours)

And most importantly: does it feature public transit navigation options beside the metro?

I’m gonna steal this meme so hard, just like Russia stole Ukrainian land and toilets. Thank you!

@supersquirrel oh, wow, the dick of consequences went too far inside Trump’s ass, who would’ve thought?!?

@Blaze my personal laptop, backed up to an external drive

I didn’t downvote you - on the contrary, I upvoted you, actually. Every single loss of Russia in Ukraine is a direct consequence of Putin’s decisions (as well as NK). However, this is a necessary evil. For as many enemy soldiers are killed in Ukraine, as close it is to a more just peace, preventing more territory loss, maybe even gaining back some ground. There’s that, that’s what war is like.

Awesome!

@Szewek if you use DAVx5, you can also sync basically any other calendar with your default calendar app (including Samsung’s).

This is the link to their actual tweet (via Xcancel.com) from the cesspool formerly known as Twitter. They literally announced it on there, where not even Space Karen dared to touch them up until now. What the actual fuck, lol?!?

I’m pretty sure that was a mistake on Bluesky’s part and that we’re gonna see them back in a few hours, or 1-2 days at worst. But if we don’t, things are really fishy on Bluesky’s side. Especially since ICE also joined in.

It’s so baffling! All the other parents just saw nothing wrong with the whole situation, wtf…

I’ll pick Jolla. I hope their new phone will be good.

Wish there was a care reaction for fedi

While many respondents expressed hopes for an end to the fighting, they largely expect it to conclude on terms “proclaimed as its goals,”

Victory is always near

Not quite recently, but the most recent one that I cooked was mămăligă. One of the easiest and cheapest things to cook when you’re hungry, no wonder it got so popular.
