As a Slovak, I am frustrated. The opposition seems unable to gain support from voters on the countryside, which is the majority of the population - they are the easiest to convince, usually by lying and fearmongering (i. e. “Korčok will send slovak men to Ukraine”), or giving promises they plan on never achieving but sound nice (reducing prices, even though they are doing the opposite).

The current government has plans to dissassemble the slovak TV and radio in favour of a state influenced alternative (essentially for propaganda purposes), is reducing punishment for criminals, rapists and thieves (as many of them are now in the government).

The country’s debt is growing (now at ~7b euros), railways, healthcare and schools are falling. Things still kind of work, but they are held by duct tape.

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.

Well, you can create an account from EU, although mine got locked after creating just one blog post. And the support does not seem to respond, so I moved to a different platform.

Oh wow, big tech single-handedly curing my internet addiction! Love it!

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

OSM has much better coverage in Europe as more volunteers contibute. I heard it’s not that great in the US.

crypt.ee is a great alternative, which is extremely well designed. Included in the subscribtion is an online document editor for personal notes and documents. Everything fully encrypted of course & works across all platforms.

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.
