I like Dirty V (Norway) and Vincent (Germany). I can go with Max Burger (Scandinavia) too, if the other options are MacDonald’s or Burger King, as these two mainly make vegetarian food that is unseasoned and lazy.

Give me anything that’s repairable and has a bootloader that can be opened and I’m yours. Currently using a Fairphone and I would consider buying one again the day this one is no longer supported by any of the custom roms/Linux phone distros or is beyond repair.

A sort of hunger bar. It would be useful in so many situations.

• Blogs/sites like Pitchfork for internationally hyped releases
• Smaller sites for more local content
• I check local calendars for release parties or concerts
• I talk with my colleagues.
• I go directly to labels that I trust and check out all of their new releases
• I stop by my local record stores and ask the staff for a couple of album recs
• I use the search functions of Bandcamp and follow a bunch of bands there
• Ditto for Soundcloud, where the reposts of independent artists are especially useful for discovering other bands and musicians.
• Recommendations from Qobuz or Spotify
• I have a couple of radio stations that I spend a few hours with each week, like fip.fr, local student radio, local insert political leanings radio

Keep the rule as it is, and take those kinds of discussions in communities meant for political discussion. There’s already enough of US politics everywhere else.
