Amazing. They are the best app for hiking (Komoot might be nice for planning, but nobody has the paths mapped so well - middle of nowhere, north of Sweden, Georgia, Mauritius, everywhere ti had silly small paths mapped for me).

I hope they can also be an option in the city. I don't drive, but I need to check their public transport coverage, and accuracy of opening hours ^‿^

Alright, that is a bit uplifting.

I have one more skeptical comment/question: I would imagine the difference between 70s and now is that the new aircrafts have some digital component to them. And that the US could ensure they can use the digital part to "turn the aircraft off" for their "national security". I have a very limited knowledge on the subject, so maybe this is all inspirational thinking...

Can't the US shut them down?

I have too many people into arthouse around, but especially when it comes to movies I have long been watching more European than American stuff.

Ruben Östlund makes both movies that are fun and deep (e.g. "Triangle of Sadness", "The Square").

I love Kusturica's movies. A touch of magical realism and humour from the Balkans. His political views are... let's just say you do not have to agree much with the views of an artist to enjoy his work ;)

"Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World" is a great recent comedy from the Romanian Radu Jude.

"Blue Is the Warmest Colour" is a beautiful lesbian love story.

Petro Almodovar has made incredible melodramas.

I can also very much recommend "Cold War" by Paweł Pawlikowski (another love story, but this time with a very sensitible perspective on Central European history in the background).

Lukas Dhont makes very touching movies, I have rarely cried as much on a movie as on his "Close".

It is a weird niche, but if you like fckd up cartoons like South Park or Rick and Morty, then check out the Polish series Exorcist (on Netflix, though I am sure you can also find it elsewhere...)

I've heard DeepL Write can replace Grammarly. Has anybody checked it?

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

I have a DeepL plug-in in my browser and a DeepL app. I highlight text, and press to translate. This is great if you want to learn a language (I compare my understanding of a sequence with the translation, check what the one word I didn't understand meant, etc.)

For me, just the default URL gives "detect language"... (https://www.deepl.com/en/translator).

Maybe let nobody have a turn in this kind of "buying" a land somebody else lives on, huh? Or is it glorified by the virtue of everybody getting their "turn"?
