Yes they were expecting it. The mayor of Amsterdam said that there were about 800 extra police officers

I read an interview a while back with an wine expert (I can't find it anymore of course..), who said that recently more wine producers have started to use bentonite (which is a sort of clay) instead of animal products to fine the wine, because it is readily available and cheaper. So more and more wines are vegan even though they're not labeled as such. It's still good to be thorough though and hope more wine producers start using bentonite.

Proton offers the service of downloading most APK's directly from their website, bypassing the play store. They do this to help people get their apps in countries where it isn't accessible. Take a look at protonapps.com and they also have a lot of information on how to set up their apps on different operating systems

Haha well the battery life sucks and the camera is fine, not great

To be fair, the Fairphone is not the greatest in terms of specs, its more middle of the road but on the expensive side. But its has a way longer life. So I get that you want to think on it, because it's more of a commitment to justify the cost

I'd say the paid plan is definitely worth it. The VPN is awesome. Very fast and with a lot of servers around the world. The drive is solid and they keep adding more features like automatic backup for you photos and secure file sharing. Lately they added a Docs to the drive, similar to google docs.

I have a family plan with my wife and brother in law and we share the costs, that makes it even more worth it.

I use a Fairphone with e/os, which works fairly well as an os. Regular updates and they listen to user feedback. And e/os has an app lounge where you can download apps from the play store (without a google account) and f-droid, which is very easy. And the fairphone is great with interchangeable parts.

For maps I use a combo of organic maps and Magic earth. Magic Earth isn't Foss but is privacy focused and has traffic alerts for driving.

And for mail, passwordmanager, VPN, calendar, and drive I use Proton.

The transfer into proton is indeed very easy and with their family pack you also get Mail, Drive, VPN, Calendar and they keep working on adding more. Very happy with proton and their fight for privacy

While I do agree that Tolkien's work is exceptional, The Wheel of Time shows us that studios have no problems with fucking up good source material. So it can probably go either way

Sure, but results in the past give no guarantees about how successful a future endeavour can be.

I'm not trying to take a side here, but just reserving judgement.

Why?

Same here. But sadly too many people were swayed by the populist parties and their 'this one trick will fix everything' rhetoric.

That's one of the busiest intersections in Utrecht, especially in the weekend with buses, cyclists, pedestrians and some cars. It's pretty easy to navigate too
