Main alternative (not FLOSS, but European) would be XING! as far as I know

This is so endearingly nerdy! I’m inspired to dust off my own Cities Skylines and start a city :)

I don’t think you need to turn on location for any of the tools mentioned in this thread. It’s useful, but not necessary. If battery life is an issue you could try out MapSwipe. Everyone’s got to find their favourite way of contributing :)

The capitalist class will ceaselessly and tirelessly work to roll back measures that benefit the working class. This is just the reality of the current economic system, and why the social democrat worldview of “working with the system instead of against it” is fundamentally flawed, even if good-spirited

Apathy isn’t revolutionary. We must fully support leftist candidates while also being critical of their platform and aware that electoral politics inside a capitalist system will only get us so far. But never losing hope that more people see the light and become class conscious.

Wasn’t there some drama around Audacity not being FLOSS anymore?

Xing is at least not owned by MAAM

I like SimplyTranslate from F-Droid and RTranslate from GitHub. The second one also has a really cool live conversation mode where it can, through voice detection and TTS, interpret back and forth between two people.

I’m just some guy that doesn’t like Europe being reliant on the US and I am also against Russia

That’s the point, figure out a way to stop relying on them. It’d have been better if it weren’t necessary to have a wake-up call like this, but if that’s what it takes to achieve that result, I’m okay with it

I like this! It’s a good thing for the EU to decouple from the US. The EU’s military budget is definitely good enough, just very badly managed. This will push the EU to get its shit together and achieve proper autonomy. Only then it’ll be able to enter international agreements on equal footing with other superpowers and not have it be a serfdom relationship in exchange for protection
