According to their website it comes with /e/OS, a degoogled Android.
Been using mailbox.org for a couple of years and I’m quite happy with it. Don’t know what “needs client app” is supposed to mean though. If you don’t want to use a mail client you can use the web interface. I’ve used maildroid on Android with it and when it was discontinued switched to Thunderbird, both work fine with mailbox.org.
There’s one tiny minor annoyance, they somehow automatically create a new “archive” folder for every year that the web interface uses when you hit the archive button but in your mail client you gotta change the preferences manually once a year. Don’t know if you can change but it’s such a minor inconvenience I never bothered to check.
Don’t know if this is new but I just checked and you can set your diet preferences in the account settings.
I hardly believe restaurants prepare extra food in advance just to sell it a huge discount with very little or no profit. Actually whenever I went to a restaurant that participated it wasn’t leftover stuff but they cooked the meal fresh just for me. I guess they’re using the app as a way to advertise and draw more people in with a big discount and hope they come back again to eat there at the full price.
I’m using 2g2g in Germany and there are lots of participating shops here. According to their website, they’re operating in all of Europe as well as Canada, Australia and the US.
I disagree, at least don’t see that for any of the stores participating in my area. They don’t like overproducing either, everything they throw away is a loss for them. But it’s also difficult to predict how much you’ll be able to sell on any given day. Bakeries for example usually bake only once a day in the early morning and they have to make an educated guess about how much of each item will be sold that day, but it’s never gonna be a perfect guess. Sometimes they’re out early, a few customers will be disappointed and the shop will make a tiny bit less profit that day, and some other times they produce a bit too much that they won’t be able to sell the next day so they’d have to throw it out. I just don’t see how it’s greenwashing trying to avoid that by finding takers for the extra stuff using this app. If someone eats the food then it’s not wasted food.
Oh that’s cool! I’ve ignored that section before because when they introduced it it only had offers for cosmetics and stuff which is nothing I’m interested in, but I just checked again and they have some good offers for long shelf life food now as well, I’ll keep watching!
