Yeah, I imagine the amount of books by language depends on the library. Mine has 2k German and some Dutch and Ukrainian as well - didn’t vet those. I was able to download an .acsm file via Manage Loan -> Read with… -> Epub, but then you still need to deal with an acsm file - definitely not a real solution, just figured I’d mention it

For my local library, I noticed they have both Onleihe and Libby available - though with different selections, ymmv

I second hedgehogs for Germany, they’re so cute! Also, or squirrels are so different from the US kind, they’re just unfortunately a lot shyer, too

Definitely strange… Glad it worked out, though

Very cool feature, thanks for sharing!

The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options

For me it’s when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

If it’s just about current weather, the locations view kind of does this. Otherwise, I’d be super interested to hear which app you’d seen that in before, sounds like an interesting feature

From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?

I second Duolingo and Drops for mostly vocabulary learning, and then I’d supplement with a textbook for grammar and a more structured learning experience. I keep seeing the everything learning german book recommended, but really, just choose whatever looks reasonable and go through it doing all the exercises

That’s a very good point of course - brain drain is a problem and we shouldn’t encourage it. I suppose I’d rather propose encouraging countries to offer refugees good educations. I am explicitly talking about jobs that require training and come with an expectation of a good life - I agree that the jobs in agriculture and slaughterhouses and such are inhumane.

I don’t think we should tell people not to have children. I just think that we should stop telling them that putting more humans on this world is the moral option or their duty. I think we should at least encourage people thinking of having kids to consider the consequences that has, and then leave the choice to them.

Sure, but how likely is that? Shouldn’t we start on filling the planet up to that limit only once we have a better system, not now?

We could also stabilise pension systems by allowing in immigrants to work the jobs that aren’t getting done tight now. Skilled craftspeople are needed, and if they help us with pensions and get a better life for their families out of it, even better, right?

What eras do they have/use?
