Okay, #MastoDaoine - it's not terrible, but at less than two-thirds of posts using alt text with images, I think we can definitely do better than that.

Lovely people! In conjunction with me starting on new medication, my GP has recommended I use a nutrition/health tracking app.

She recommended anything like Noom or Lose It! apps - but I'd like to avoid evil US-based apps, in favour of (ideally) non-evil EU-based apps (esp for data protection reasons).

Does anyone know if such a thing exists..? 😬

(I've checked a few comparison sites and https://european-alternatives.eu/ but haven't spotted anything yet.)

I don't know what time today's EU meeting on #ChatControl takes place, but I've just emailed my representatives anyway - this terrible law should not be forced through in any circumstances, including behind closed doors.
