No, we moved to Houten (about 5km from central Utrecht). It's been great! Friendly neighbours, good school that my kids walk to (they can walk and bike all over the place actually), pretty efficient bureaucracy, great public transit.. Though you know, even some places in the Netherlands (Hilversum comes to mind) won't stop people parking on pavements for some reason, which is annoying. Overall I really like it though.

Completely agreed. Reminds me of how US banned citizens and businesses in Iran from using cloud infrastructure like AWS or digital ocean, leading to people and businesses moving to the government-sponsored local cloud services, and that made it super easy for the government to block internet access whenever they want without essential services like banking, ecommerce, online taxi booking, food delivery etc being disrupted.

That might have taken days or weeks in historic wars. [Now] you’re doing everything at once.”
I will try it to see if I can finally block the marketing notifications of my banks (!!!) app, traderepublic. I don't want to block all the notifications from this app, but it sends everything in one single channel, so it's not possible to only block marketing ones.
