You may want to order Ostfriesentee or Friesentee in German language countries. Very similar blend.

I learned this the other way round, when I tried to find decent tea in Ireland.

This video was released by #Forbrukerrådet, the Norwegian #Consumer Council, a few days ago

> Über die Beschaffung von Microsoft-Lizenzen auf Landes- und Kommunalebene liegen der Bundesregierung aufgrund der föderal verteilten Zuständigkeit für Beschaffungen in diesem Bereich keine konkreten Zahlen vor.

Überweisung des Bundes an Microsoft: Was macht das mit euch?

2023: 274.091.361,75 Euro
2024: 347.665.579,71 Euro
2025: 481.369.660,77 Euro

Man stelle sich vor, was mit 1.103.126.602,23 € alles an Open Source Software in Deutschland hätte beschafft und entwickelt werden können. Vermutlich wird sich der Trend hier auch noch weiter fortsetzen :(

The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong... Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw.

I mixed up Radicale and Radicle for a moment and got curious about some Git-based peer-to-peer calendar/addressbook solution 🤔
