Don't know if it's true for all EU countries but it's very common I think, although "local" elections meaning municipal elections, not the "local" federal elections.

Careful about Heise. Their tech news are probably alright but they also got Telepolis which is their super weird conspiracy nut pro-russian political branch and it's easy to end up reading that shit on their intermixed website.
TBH while Springer's main outlets like BILD are shit, I found politico quite alright so far. I mean whatever news source you're consuming it's important to know where they're coming from anyway. I like politico cause there's no shit paywall and non-enshittified website and also a proper RSS feed, which is super rare these days.
Way better than Google and I especially love that in translatons they also seamlessly convert weirdo imperial units to metric so you don't have to deal with cups and feet or whatever.
Kinda funny because just recently Sweden canceled plans to build new wind farms because they'd interfere with their radars. https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2024/11/11/why-sweden-nixed-new-wind-farms-for-fear-of-missing-russian-missiles/
Haven't used it myself yet so can't talk about it their recommendation algorithm, but Qobuz has been recommended several times here, it's French and apparently has a very good payout to artists per play compared to others.
Regarding prices, one thing to consider is that even if a company has their chips produced in China, they had the costs of design and development, while Chinese just steal/copy those designs and therefore can sell them cheaper. I heard a joke long time ago from some hobby electronics nerd that went like "if you want your circuit board design etched for cheap, just send it to a Chinese manufacturer asking for a quotation, and a few weeks/months later you can buy your own PCB mass produced on AliExpress", and I think that's pretty accurate.
That looks much better, thanks!
TBH I'm quite surprised they even considered showing that propaganda shitshow, they must have completely missed the shitstorms the other film festivals encountered last year.
The 70s was before my time, I remember the Canadian flag thing though. But as I understood that's more about not wanting to be associated with other American tourists who can behave quite obnoxiously when traveling in groups and taking full advantage of strong cheap local beers and the lower legal drinking age. There is and always was some degree of anti-americanism from the left, but on a political level and not something you'd have to worry about as an individual tourist. The headline is also a bit misleading in that sense, this "anti-americanism" is directed at Trump's shenanigans, not random tourists.
I gave it a shot but without public transport navigation it's pretty useless for me. Also I don't enjoy being bugged to create an account or pay 19€ for a "premium user badge" just to make that "please give us money" button go away that's permanently covering part of the map.
