Hate to break it to you but Albania isn't a EU Member.

At least on Android you have NewPipe, which is an easy to install alternative Frontend for YouTube, or YouTube ReVanced, which applies multiple Patches to the original YouTube-App in order to make it more useable, however sometime the patching process causes trouble.

I'm currently using Revanced and it still works like a charm and completly adfree.

From Austria, but Germany has quite similar laws.

You'll get 96% Ethanol with bitterants (so that you do not trink it) in every bigger supermarket as well as hardware stores, it's either called Ethanol or Brennspirtus.

For non-denaturized Ethanol you have to go to the pharmacy. Expect higher prices as every (theorethically) drinkable alcohol is subject to a tax.

I truly feel bad for unity developers here. While unity as a company was always a bit shitty from what I've heard, the engine itself still was a very low barrier to entry into game development, however now it feels like you are being punished for releasing something which is marginally successful.

If you are looking for Unity alternatives, I'd like to suggest Godot. While some things are rough around the edges the engine has made huge improvements in the last year or so. It's developed by a small independent team as well as it's own community and completly open source, effectively eliminating the chance for corporated fuckery like in Unity's case.

If you are from Europe, especially German-speaking countries: So called Buntbartschlüssel (literal translation: colorful beard keys) are very popular for older buildings and garden sheds as well as for interior doors in residential buildings.

There are around 70 different types with you being able to spot which one is need by just looking inside the keyhole, there are handy charts for this purpose.

Last time I sent an SMS was like 7 years ago or something like that.

Companies still use them to send you verification codes (which depending on your country can be a mayor security risk) and reminders, but otherwise it's mainly WhatsApp or other messagers like Telegram or Signal.

GDPR didn't give you cookie banners, it's shitty websites that do.

If they were to just follow activated "Do not Track"-Preferences, they wouldn't need to ask, instead they would deactived them by default. Or you could just not use cookies, it's not like somebody forces you to give cookies out to your website's users.

As a small kid i once rode my kickscooter in a similar parked car, cause to be honest I wasn't looking and also wasn't expecting a car to pretrude like one meter into the sidewalk. While I was definitly careless (and also like 5) you should expect accidents happening when you leave stuff in places they don't belong.

I vaguelly remember around this time some low end computers were shipped with FreeDOS instead of Windows, in order to save on licencing fees. AFAIK this was the case because legislation in some european countries restricted the sale of new computers to ones which had an OS preinstalled.

Maybe XP was installed after the purchases however a partition with FreeDOS/whatever remained as the default boot option. Hence your parents had to select the other boot option (Windows XP) manually. Granted you could change your primary boot partition permanently, but maybe your parents didn't know this.

Mein E-Moped. Das hatte keinen Readout vom Hallsensor mehr. Also hab ich's mal aufgemacht, und gleich dasbProblem gesehen, die hatten das Kabel mit dem Anschluss nicht festgemacht, daher ist er locker geworden. Hab ihn gereinigt und dann mit Kabelbinder am Rahmen montiert und nun geht das Moped wieder problemlos.
