I use:
SVTplay - streaming
TV2play - streaming
SR radio - podcasts
Vivaldi - browser
I am swedish, living in Norway though. So not sure how good these services are for english speaking people.
But I have heard a lot of good stuff about:

I've set up #Proton VPN on my home router, so all my devices are now connected through it. This means I'll rarely need to use the VPN functionality on individual devices. I will rarely need to use the functionality myself.
Itβs true that having the VPN at the OS level is more secure. A browser extension only encrypts browser traffic.
However, I think this setup is a solid stepping stone for those who havenβt used a VPN before.
It might spark curiosity about Proton's services and encourage more users to migrate from Big Tech to Proton, enhancing their online privacy and security.
#Vivaldi has been gaining a significant number of new users lately. People are increasingly valuing European software alternatives and prioritizing privacy.
This trend presents a great opportunity to further assist new users in enhancing their privacy and supporting European tech.
I've started working on an interactive dashboard for #HomeAssistant ! π β¨
Lights turn on and off with a simple tap, and the dashboard view updates in real-time. It's amazing to see it all come together!
My plan is to mount an old tablet on the wall and use it as a control panel for my smart home. It took some time to learn how to use SweetHome3D for the renders, but I'm really happy with the results so far!
Next up, I'll be polishing the design to ensure it looks great on phones, tablets, and PCs.
Any tips or features you think I should add?
@kiiixx

@wyri Indeed! My use case would probably be quite simple.
Toggling scenes, giving voice notification based on triggers and that kind of stuff.
Will have to read up a bit more on it before possibly placing my order. :)
@wyri Nice! I have been considering getting one of those as well.
Please share your thoughts about it once you have had the chance to try it out!
Just finished watching #TheClickTrap on #ArteTVβa fascinating documentary exposing the dark side of digital advertising.
I strongly believe user profiling should be banned. Instead, we should return to context-based ads that respect our privacy.
If you're curious, you can watch it on Arte.tv.
What steps do you think we can take to protect our online privacy better?
If you have any documentaries on Arte TV to recommend, please share!

Sometimes I crave a sweet soft drink.
As I try to buy more European alternatives, I've discovered that most major supermarkets in Norway primarily sell Coca-Cola or Pepsi. I'm happy to see that you can buy Norwegian Cola at Rema 1000!
