There's also qobuz for your more mainstream music needs. And you can always use a YouTube downloaded like yt-dlp together with a music tagging tool like MusicBrainz Picard.

I could be completely wrong, but the fact, that you stated, that Telegram doesn't receive messages without the tray icon leads me to believe that they are doing background services wrong. Because the status icon in the tray is supposed to be exactly that. The service itself shouldn't be tied to that.

Is the new UI broken or are app developers just not implementing it into their apps or what's wrong with the current situaltion?

Both, kinda. The new UI relies afaik on xdg-portals to get which apps are running in the background. Therefore only flatpaks should show up; but they should show up automatically, without any tweaks by the devs.

Also the UI only displays that an app is running in the background. It can't communicate any type of status information.

Shielding Gatwa is certainly a factor. But I think they are mainly saying this to cover for an earlier lie: That Disney not renewing after Season 1 had aired wasn't a reason to get worried. Admitting that Gatwa quit would mean admitting that your star was worried and the BBC doesn't want to do that.

They are exploiting a legal loophole: technically the law doesn't specify that you have to provide a tracking free version for free. So they don't.

I don't think this would stand up to scrutiny in court, because the law does state that getting a tracking free version needs to be as easy as the alternative and registering is more complicated than clicking "continue with cookies". But so far this is untested conjecture.

https://join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?

YouTube/The Confused Adipose: DOCTOR WHO S2'S MAD ORIGINAL ENDING?! [RESHOOTS EXPLAINED +PHOTO LEAK +SYNOPSIS?! MORE SUSAN!]

. In our settings, we find that: 1) Extreme forms of “feedback gaming” such as manipulation and deception are learned reliably; 2) Even if only 2% of users are vulnerable to manipulative strategies, LLMs learn to identify and target them while behaving appropriately with other users, making such behaviors harder to detect; 3) To mitigate this issue, it may seem promising to leverage continued safety training or LLM-as-judges during training to filter problematic outputs. Instead, we found that while such approaches help in some of our settings, they backfire in others, sometimes even leading to subtler manipulative behaviors. We hope our results can serve as a case study which highlights the risks of using gameable feedback sources – such as user feedback – as a target for RL

One thing I find interesting: Billie isn't credited as "the Doctor". Usually the credit for a new doctor goes "And introducing Actor as the doctor".

And I can't figure out why? She is as far as we can tell the next doctor (unless they throw a curveball and she actually is the Valeyard or something) so why not credit her as such?

Germany already has a programe to fund open source software: The Sovereign Tech Fund

Last year it was expanded to become a proper government agency.

Accessibility options and better dev tooling in Gnome? Funded by the German Government

Better security with SMBA network shares? Enabled by the STF.

FreeBSD, OpenSteetMap and Arch Linux? All of them received money from the German Government in the last couple of years.

For a lot of people it's not even "going back". They are either to young to have experienced the old web or did but bounced of it. There is a sizeable group of people out there, who went online for the first time not despite facebooks privacy invasive profile building but because of it.

Lemmys default web UI doesn't have a endlessly loading newsfeed. That's a intentional design decision to help users spend less time on the platform. Because spending to much time on social media is bad for your mental health. So having friction points is a good thing.

Except the competition doesn't do that. So what is your average social media addict to do when they hit a friction point? They won't close the browser. Instead they will go back to the commercial platforms.

Some people like junk food. But creating addictive social media yourself isn't a good option either

Apparently: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9tention_de_s%C3%BBret%C3%A9_en_France

In French criminal law, “rétention de sûreté” is a procedure for placing prisoners who have served their sentence, but who present a very high risk of reoffending because they generally suffer from a serious personality disorder, in a socio-medico-judicial security center. This measure is limited to convictions for the most serious crimes, in particular sex crimes, and must be expressly provided for in the sentencing decision

Translated with DeepL

I couldn't find an English source, even the English wiki article on preventive detention doesn't list France.

20 years is the maximum sentence in France

And here is a Guardian article on that: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/16/israel-eurovision-gaza-european-broadcasting-union

Or set your VPN to Europe and watch it on YouTube

Have you tried HERE WeGo, previously known as HERE Maps?

The app started live as Nokia Maps (so Finnish) and is now owned by a consortium of German auto makers (for some reason headquartered in the Netherlands).

I don't have an iPhone, but according to the AppStore listing the iOS version should include CarPlay.

Another theory that I have been seeing floating around is that Poppy is the Timless Child and space babies was the doctor bootstrap paradoxing their own morality

(Possibly slightly bigger spoilers)

One additional piece of information Dobson shared at Comic Con Cardiff is that season 2 will recontextualize "Space Babies," an episode that currently holds the lowest rating on IMDb for last season. What could the Notting Hill resident have to do with a spaceship in 21506? It seems only time will tell.
