There is a filter in the settings for vegan/vegetarian. In my experience the shops/restaurants always asked me if I eat meat/fish when filling the bag, but I also live in a very hipster area where it feels like majority of people is vegan now, might be different elsewhere. :)

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.

Ok but even if that was the case and they produce too much because they can sell the rest at a discount, it's not really "too much" if everything gets sold and eaten. Why would they produce less than there's demand for? I don't really see a problem as long as the food doesn't end up in a trash can.

But if someone buys and eats the food then it's not wasted, is it?

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.

Yeah, I've tried a bunch of places at first but now I have 4-5 favorite ones that always have good stuff. Some restaurants seem to use the app more as advertisement to get more people visiting, but I think that's fair too when they offer a meal for half the price in return. Also I never got any bad deals, it was always a good bargain even if I didn't end up liking what I got. It's kind of a plus for the app actually in my opinion because that I tried many new places that I'd normally not care about just because they were in the app, and I found some really nice ones this way.

Ah I see, I thought it was about sharing stuff with your partner. No idea then. :/

EDIT: Oh I just realized the person I replied to wasn't you, nevermind then. :)

Sounds like any "visual bookmarking" tool would work for that. You could check out https://www.pearltrees.com/ for example (France).

Always wondered this too! It's more of annoyance really cause it always shows up in image searches but then you can't download the full size image without getting an account, I've actually been looking for ways to block that page in my search results.

So, RFK is literally Jesus for preaching God's will that kids must die from measles? 🤔

Yeah, for me the main point is not to help US companies make money, either by paying them directly or by giving them my data which they can can sell. With open source software that's covered most of the time, especially when self-hosted.
