Interesting...
I had the conflict with f-droid in my mind, where the Signal developers were very specific about not wanting any Signal builds distributed outside of the Playstore.
That seems to have changed...?
But still no build distributed via f-droid, I just checked. But that may still be because the f-droid maintainers really where pissed off at the time...

Ah, war anscheinend bloß der Default-Vorschau-Browser auf dem Handy mit überambitioniertem Script-Blocking...
Danke!
Curious as our pedestrian crossings don't have arrows at all:
Where is it supposed to point and how does it work?
Paywall... :-(
Wie muss ich denn jetzt reagieren, wenn ich einer begegne? Totstellen? GottesanbeterinnenKostüm ausziehen? Nicht in Gespräch verwickeln lassen und den Wachturm dankend ablehnen?
Well, my KDE-based distro on my 10-year-old cheapo (350€) laptop feels snappier than Win11 on my brand new 1500€ work-laptop.
Admittedly, there are some company specific things like security scanner apps (and the mandatory MS-Office behemoth...) that are not present on the Linux-machine, but it is still a 20-core/64GByte high end machine behaving more sluggish than a 2-core/8GByte totally outdated potato...
So, I am not really surprised about OP's snappiness observation.
Yeah, Spotify sucks for many reasons, the ones mentioned not being the least.
Some while ago I returned back to classic MP3 radio streams, grey-area streaming workarounds and occasionally sailing the high seas again.
And instead of throwing my money at Spotify (which then doesn't give it to the artists I listen to), I make sure to support the bands directly.
Go to concerts, buy merch, support promising projects on e.g. Startnext.
Win-Win-Win-scenario:
I get my music, artists get more money, and the creedy corporate music structures around Spotify are not supported any more.
Don't know about that. The pullover screams "Inherited from bigger brothers and just still good enough for another round".
Correct. Assumed main reason for the typical 30-but-looks-like-50 phenomenon of the 70s and 80s.
That and no sunscreen.
Has its shortcomings unfortunately...
E.g. even though most of my important contacts don't exclusively rely on Whatsapp any more, the alternative that has established itself as a kind of consensus is Signal, which is only available via Playstore, if I'm not mistaken.
Same is true for my banking app that is needed for my day-to-day bank account.
Same is also true for governmental service apps or the ID app to authenticate once before e.g. being able to use a new SIM card.
List goes probably on, these are just the things that have come spontaneously to my mind.
This complete reliance on OS's from a private companies (Apple not being better) with their own agenda sucks.
And LineageOS isn't the solution it has been a few years back any more, I am afraid... :-(
What the hell kind of clickbait article heading is this?
The signals are not "sent to earth"!
They are just "received on earth", which is a completely different thing.
Interesting connection I just made:
I was wondering about the Hamburg reference and if there was a connection to the Beatles (from Liverpool) mania of the 60s that started in Hamburg...
Turns out I have been right, the linked page basically says that the pic was part of a Beatles photo report of the Stern (famous German magazine from Hamburg) depicting the English youth culture of that time.
The other pics in the series are also worth a look!
