I have it turned off. But maybe that option is not available outside of EU? I don't know.

Btw, the text on the tram's display says Driver training in Slovak :)

That is considered non-native here and it is very difficult to get rid of it.

The following links are in Slovak, but there are latin names of the plants.

I have found a seed mix that appears to not have any invasive plants (site in German): https://www.bloomling.de/samen-maier/bio-nuetzlingsweide-summ-summ-wiese, and it is also available in my country.

Hey people! I'm located in western Slovakia (Central Europe) and would like to start a wildflower meadow sometime during the end of March or even the start of April. It is going to replace the lawn in the middle of our plot. It is in a sunny place and no chemicals have been used for ~3 years, although the ground is not super ideal for it (not nutrient-poor). My question is: will the seeds be able to germinate if I just go over the space with a verticutter? Should I try to remove the lawn fully (i. e. using a hoe)? Cover it with cardboard to let the lawn die? I have read the excellent Wild Your Garden book by The Butterfly Brothers, and they recommend rotovating. But that seems like a lot of work. What was your experience or what species would be suitable? I'm all ears!

That's definitely not normal. The rendering can be a bit slow, but everything else shold be usable. Unless you have a low-range phone. If that is the case, I can recommend Organic Maps, which are much less resource-intensive.

OnlyOffice has a usable client for mobile. And it's FOSS.

I prefer to map them separately. For paths going along the road I use highway=footway + footway=sidewalk, for separate paths just highway=footway. You can also add sidewalk=separate to the road, so that routing software knows to prefer the separately mapped sidewalk to just using the road.

Definitely, the issue is that hosting videos is much more resource demanding than text or photos, thus there are few large instances with enough creators and quality content.

Nowadays it seems to be filled with extremists and other people that got blocked from popular platforms for various reasons. It used to be a bit better a year ago, with more technical and FOSS oriented channels.

We recently switched to induction at home. The benefits are awesome:

  • no smell
  • much higher efficiency
  • automatically turns off when there are no pots on the stove
  • a special mode for frying which regulates the temperature of oil to prevent it from burning
  • no heat leaking to the sides of the pot, so the handles remain cold (of course until heat conductivity comes to play)

Absolutely no regrets.

Saly, I have no experience in programming, but I'll at least help with transations.

Not OP, but I personally use FreeTube. The design is not perfect, but you can add subscriptions and separate them between multiple accounts (those are all local), change themes and it even has support for SponsorBlock. If you prefer web apps, there's Invidious.

Peertube is a good federated alternative to Youtube, it also connects to the Fediverse and there is a central search engine called Sepia Search, which makes it easier to find content on the different instances.
