Fresh cheese, such as mozzarella and ricotta, is quicker to make, and a lot less concentrated. It doesn’t need ageing, and there’s a lot less milk going into a kilo of cheese. It’s also less work.
On the flip side, they don’t last as long. If you want to get fresh ricotta and you live far away from where it’s produced it might cost you a fortune, as it cannot be stored in the cheese shop as long as a wheel of aged cheese.
Thanks!! I should have done that ages ago!
I knew about this in theory, but I used DuckDuckGo for a long time and got too spoiled to a point where it didn’t occur to me to just set it up myself.
Thank you for connecting the dots for me, I’ll set ut up right away.
Mojeek is probably the closest thing right now to a normal-looking search engine that is completely independent from Google and Bing. UK based.
They’ll start with the German and French web, so if you’re searching in English you’ll probably have to wait for a while indeed.
I’m generally pretty happy with the results in Qwant.
The main thing I miss at this point is really support for !bangs. I use them all the time in DuckDuckGo, to search directly in !scholar or !wiki. Especially in Qwant there are some features missing, so if I for example want to be lazy and use the search bar as a calculator it would be nice to be able to search for !ddg 2+2.
But that’s a minor criticism. For the most part it’s a great tool, and I look forward to where they go with their own indexes.
Edit: Also, what’s up with this graphic suggesting search engines (if you can call them that) as alternatives to Google Chrome.
I think phone operating systems are incredibly sensitive software, and they should always be considered carefully. So no disagreement there.
Ironic as fuck then that I’m currently using stock Android. Oh well.
More or less the entirety of western society failed in not sanctioning Russia profoundly in 2014, and we are now paying the cost. No doubt. But I wouldn’t exaggerate Jolla’s role - going through a bankruptcy to shake investors off seems to me to be dedication, even if it might be a bit late.
Canonical gave up on Ubuntu Touch, but being open source some Norwegian guy decided to continue developing it anyway. Others joined in, leading to the ubports foundation. Canonical let them continue to use the name Ubuntu Touch and there is some continued cooperation, but Ubuntu Touch is completely independent from Canonical these days.

Sailfish OS is developed by Jolla, who are a Finish company with offices in Finland (Tampere and Helsinki) and China (Hong Kong).
The Russians have forked Sailfish into Aurora OS, but that’s a separate system. It started out as a cooperation, but Jolla cut all ties with Russia in 2021.
It seems they had Russian investors and took active means to get rid of them:
In 2024, to escape Russia’s investors due to the Ukrainian war, the Jolla initial company filed for bankruptcy, continuing its activity under the JollyBoys name.
I would obviously not use Aurora OS, but do you have any information that would indicate that @jolla@techhub.social or Sailfish OS are compromised?
Does anyone have experience with https://fairbnb.coop/ ?
Another great Danish alternative for vacation homes (with destinations all over) is Novasol. I’ve used them a couple of times, my experiences have been great.
For those who want to put the “buy” into buying European, German company Volla phone are the only phone producer I know of where you can currently buy a new device with Ubuntu Touch installed out of the box. I haven’t tried it myself, but if anyone is interested they can check for experiences at the ubports forum.
I installed Ubuntu Touch on an old Nexus 6p I revived from the dead a while ago, and it’s a great user experience. :)
Oh damn, you’re right!
But sometimes on the fediverse there’s a “copy link to post/comment on original instance”, which I sometimes find to be useful. But this is already pretty great!
That’s true - it would be useful to have a “copy direct link” option in the menu bar for each comment. @rimu@piefed.social
I just put together my first feed today, collecting more than 60 US protest communities into one feed: https://piefed.social/f/50501
In the drop-down menus on top I can choose between either the communities I’m subscribed to, or the feeds I subscribe to. I can subscribe to public feeds compiled by other users, including users on other PieFed instances. I can also make a private feed if I don’t feel like sharing it.
It’s pretty great. Would absolutely recommend.
There are two main instances:
https://piefed.social/ and https://feddit.online/
There’s no mobile app/APK support at the moment, but it’s coming soon.
First thing that came to mind is this (for a horizontal layout), but not a perfect fit for several reasons. Nevertheless a classic.
I’m very happy with my classic Wüsthof. That said, I’ll probably buy Victorinox next time I’m out to get a knife - I’m just too darn happy with my Swiss Army knife.
Such an incredible win for open source. I need to get my ass to the cinema and see it.
I feel like it would maybe be more useful to see which American chains, if any, operate in Europe.
It seems half the supermarkets here in Dennark are Norwegian chains, for some reason. Not sure if there are any non-European ones around.
Good cheddar is expensive. I suspect this graph is very generous in what it considers cheddar.
It:'s also fundamentally a bit weird to compare the prices of these cheeses, as cheese prices tend to be extremely local in nature. What’s a fancy foreign cheese in one place is just traditional food in another. And of course, price and quality varies a lot within each cheese. A lot of what is sold as mozzarella is also not recognizable as such in my opinion.
