Germany's public broadcasting services have pretty decent streaming sites too, mostly European productions (love all those dark Scandinavian crime thrillers) but also even some US blockbusters. Unfortunately geoblocked as well but a VPN should fix that. ZDF and ARD are the two big ones and then there's a bunch of regional ones in top, however they share most their content between them so chances are you'll only need one of those pages.

Age restriction is a thing here too but only necessary until 22:00, apparently they assume kids are all in bed then and they don't need to check your age anymore. :)

EDIT: Arte is a French/German cooperation BTW, they have both French and German productions and everything gets dubbed in French/German respectively.

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.
