Based Netherlands.

Netherlands it is then.

Probably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I've downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.

It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it's after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.

So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.

The Netherlands continues to be my top choice for a place to live if I end up fleeing my country. If they'll have me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

If they'll have me.

Not with the current political climate I'm afraid. Still hoping for a shift to the left, as our right wing parties just showed they are completely incompetent. Hoping for the best, expecting the worst though.

It's expensive. Don't forget to buy the floor for your apartment.

Edit: I'm serious about the floor. Apartments don't come with flooring included.

Loving Bulgaria. Everybody's doing social networks, meanwhile they're "ooh, a puzzle game!"

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago

Temu is more like a capitalism network than a social network, but yeah Chad Bulgaria playing tetris instead of giving into consumerism.

Maxima Grupė UAB is a Lithuanian group of retail chain companies operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Bulgaria.

LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ...

People really use temu? I thought it was all crap.

Edit:

I used it once when I noticed a hammock underquilt - something I'd been looking for (it's basically a thermal layer for your hammock so your butt doesn't freeze at night). For context, these can cost from 50€ to several hundred.

It did all the stupid prize wheel things and offered the typical bs it usually does. However it made me an offer - buy 6 items and the underquilt will be included free. It didn't specify any prices or the typical "cheapest item is free", so I bought 6 of the cheapest things I could find (something like 50 hair ties for 0.50€, a pizza knife for 1€ etc).

I got the underquilt (and some random things) for ~6€ and, surprisingly, it works extremely well, even for quite cold weather!

Never used the app again, though. After the initial offers to get you hooked, the prices are usually worse than buying locally or just using AliExpress.

This is most downloaded not most used, so I'd reckon a lot of people heard about it, downloaded it, used it, realised it was all crap, then deleted it.

This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

It is the most downloaded app in 2024

I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.

Only Netherland and Bulgaria can be proud of themselves.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago

Nobody can be as proud of themselves (because of this list I mean) as Lithuania: "LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ..."

Is Temu really that much cheaper compared to Aliexpress to be "worth it"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)
