Pleasantly surprised that Deezer often recognizes context. Starting a Song Mix from a punk cover? More punk covers. Apple and Spotify just play punk.

The thought of renewing a storage plan just for Photos was enough to push me over the edge finally. Also, they make it very tedious to mass delete.

Largest “better” is you don’t need to give them your phone number. However, Threema isn’t free so it is harder to get other people to use it.

Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe’s. “Aldi” is owned by Aldi Süd. They are two German companies, cooperative but separate (after the brothers split them in 1966).

Trader Joe’s is Aldi Nord. Aldi Süd is the “Aldi” we are familiar with (along with Winn-Dixie, Harvey’s). They split in 1966 but cooperate.

Can you add it to the TNE page or a quick Tim mention? I think this is legit (and know it’s been mentioned before without a link) but if I did an account takeover and wanted a list of emails I’d post the same thing in the same way.
