      I also gave it a try, but had to cancel my plans to switch due to limited music selection and playlists lacking folders.

      I am currently trialing Deezer, so I guess that still counts. Also can’t do folders for playlists, but basically all my music transferred over.

        Deezer is owned by a Russian oligarch. Just something you might want to know about.

          I do, but the company is based in Paris as far as I know, so it’s European. At least most employees are (probably?) around there, as are the paid taxes (assuming they pay any).

          Given my experiences, I don’t think I have any other option that wouldn’t be just a way worse experience for me. There’s a reason in dropping Spotify after all.

              Re-read the comment you originally replied to. Music selection is too small for me.

          Good point, I forgot where I was commenting on.

          At the moment I’m doing most of my searches with Ecosia (yeah I know, they use bing and google, but at least they are German and planting trees), its only when Ecosia fails, I switch to Kagi. At this rate it will probably take me a year to run out of the 100 free searches that are included in the trial.

    I now wear sweaters and polo shirts fully sourced from Europe, including the cotton. They’re really nice, too, the quality is amazing.

    Got myself a Tuxedo Aura 14 which I’m enjoying.

    Also, kinda, just bought four vinyls of Wardruna (Norwegian band) from a Swedish store.

    Moved my email from iCloud to Proton. For the next step, it would be great if Proton Calendar started supporting (recurring) tasks.

      It does. As in; each other week for example. With start/end date or number of occurrences. Or do you mean something different?

        I mean the way Apple implemented Reminders in Calendar. Tasks that recur every (week/month/3rd saturday of the month and so on) that I can check off and then the next one appears, etc.

    Got my old PC from 2011 working again, had loads of RAM at the time and runs pretty well now. Put it in the loft and installed proxmox on it. Am now using remote-backups.com from Germany as a remote backup :) for a load of services.
