Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.
I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.
Here’s some napkin math for how expensive Substack is compared to its competitors, assuming that roughly 7% of all subscribers will pay for their subscriptions, and that subscriptions cost $5/month.
„CDU und CSU wollen die Macht des Kartellamts beschneiden. Setzen sie sich in den Koalitionsgesprächen damit durch, müssten laufende Ermittlungen zu möglichen Preisabsprachen für Sprit und Heizöl gestoppt werden.“
The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU.
It’s a rebranding of Chat Control. New name. Same old propaganda.
The EU Commission’s goal is to “access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.”

Yesterday, I took part in a press conference to talk about the urgency of the climate crisis.
It was at the invitation of @JoergAltSJ , a Jesuit priest and author who is a life-long campaigner for human rights, justice and those in need.
Today, he entered a prison in Bavaria to serve a 25-day sentence. His crime? To have disrupted, for a short while, the flow of traffic. He did it to highlight the lack of sufficient climate action. He refused to pay the fine - so now, jail.

My name is Rose LaCroix. I am a published author from the USA currently in Leverkusen Germany. If you have work for a native English speaker anywhere in the EU, I am available immediately.
I would be excellent as a proofreader for manuscripts, articles, or academic papers in English.
I could also proofread legal documents, assist English teachers, and much more.
I have a BA in social science from Portland State University and a German certificate of equivalency.
This is what fascism looks like.
As someone arrested at a campus protest last spring, I have major qualms with how the Biden administration handled campus dissent. But it was nothing compared to what we are in for now.
Our reaction to this statement will help decide if Trump's regeime is able to consolidate power to form the strong-man dictatorship he envisions. Our reaction should be to protest in force across every campus while wearing MASKS.
