I feel like a version of this guide gets reposted weekly, but it's always out of date.
u/theFallenWalnut over on that other site updates these regularly.
They also now link to ![email protected] but I don't see anything posted there. Maybe a better place to start reposting these

To my knowledge they are a Swedish company.

Spotify is cancer
Yeah but still I rather use a company like spotify than companies from a fascist country. And spotify replaced youtube for me which I lately mainly used to watch veritasium which is now also available on spotify (even without the in-video ads).
Wait.. Since when does Spotify host video content?
I had the same reaction. But apparently it does. I guess because they realized there is no real alternative to youtube.
That may be, but shouldn't it be up to people to decide for themselves whether they want to support Spotify or not?
And people can decide for themselves. Just as the author can decide to include/exclude things they deem appropriate.

Working it Austria at least, but of course more limited supply. Would love to find a good Audio Book Service which is not Audible. :(
Librivox? Admittedly, only public domain books. https://librivox.org/
Librivox is pretty nice, although quality varies a lot. But I'm very grateful it exists.
I love how the alternative to American chatting apps is yet another centralized American chatting app running on a plethora of American services from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Cloudflare etc. And based on phone numbers where they can easily cut down comms for Europeans at any given time the US gives the orders
🤡🤡🤡
Also, your phone can get located and your phone calls can be intercepted only by knowing your phone number (look up ss7 attack)
It's unencrypted messages make it a pass.
