Feb 23, 2025, 9:04 PMHmm, roaming with a German mobile data plan in the US really quite sucks, since the Telekom tunnels my data back to Germany instead of doing a local breakout and most US sites are blocking requests from European IPs, I can't visit any local places' websites to look up infos and menus... TwT
@snep I used Nomad while I was over there to get a local data plan via an eSIM profile. Worked perfectly!
Feb 24, 2025, 12:59 AM@johnkapri Usually I have a Tello SIM I use with a small data plan but since I switched to a monthly Telekom contract that includes US roaming, I thought I didn't need it this time... Welp!
@snep Is it done kind of national face-saving? Americans don't want the Europeans seeing what we've done with their food?
Feb 24, 2025, 12:57 AM@dragonfrog Probably more due to the GDPR data privacy laws active in Europe and US companies to wanting to pay webdevs, lawyers and whoever else to ensure their site is GDPR-compliant cuz there'a no money to be made in that
