Virtual meetings and video conferences from Germany with real data protection. It IS designed for professionals and comopanies. But videoconferences for up to five people, and maximum 30 minutes long are free.

Edit: looks like there's another Pop Cola brand in the Philippines owned by the actual Coca Cola, lol. The one I got is produced in the EU, by Merlin's Beverages, headquartered at Piatra Neamț, Romania.

I inadvertently bought one of their pens when I was in Waterstones recently. Cute and really nice to write with (erasable gel ink apparently - I've not tried erasing it yet).

Hi, look what I found! Hope it's as helpful for you as it's for me as well 🥂

A bit hesitant to post, but here it goes.

The US, grappling with an egg shortage, is reaching out to Lithuania for egg exports after Finland declined. The situation has prompted ridicule online.

The short Story is, that they only mark the country of the company who sells the products and not the country of origin. So for wxamble, their own peanuts are marked with a star as they are based in EU as a company, but their peanuts can come from the US. Same gores with "California raisins" and other products what recieve the EU mark simply because the company who owns the brand are based in EU.

does it taste similar to Mountain Dew? Tried it for the first time and thought, wow that tastes unique and maybe slightly similar to Mountain Dew? But really tasty :-)

Trump administration 'has made the call for tech sovereignty an urgent geopolitical issue'

In the unlikely event that you can not find a European alternative, you may have to consider buying a US branded product. On this website you can look up the brand and see its politics.

They've stopped sponsoring SF Pride, even though their "we're so inclusive" bits on their website are still up.

DataCrunch is based in Finland and provides long time rental of bare metal servers, short time use of instances similar to EC2 and serverless container hosting. The latter is particularly interesting since they come with autoscaling and queue support out of the box. We have been using Fargate, but then you can’t go completely serverless with GPUs and the queue is a separate entity. We deployed our first model using a vLLM docker image in days without having used the system before. We will probably moving existing model hosting from AWS to DataCrunch as well.

I've been testing Jottacloud, aiming to find a replacement for my family iCloud setup.

Tomorrow is the Spring Equinox (or the March Equinox). Here is a blog post I wrote with 3 European products to celebrate spring with. (I have no affiliation with the products or companies, my blog is non profit and I run it purely to promote the use of European products)

Does anyone have recommendations for alternatives to Splitwise?

They're just nice.

In the suit, Amazon argues that the company should not have legal responsibility to recall and remedy consumers for unsafe products sold on its marketplace by third-party sellers. Amazon claims that it is just an intermediary and logistics provider for third-party sales, similar to a delivery service, not a distributor or retailer that has a legal responsibility to carry out recalls. The CPSC ordered Amazon to recall more than 400,000 unsafe products in July 2024, after more than three years of adjudication.

I never imagined the original post would go so viral and be seen by +6M people. But I guess it shows there’s real momentum — and the perfect time to finally escape big tech’s grip.

Just here to shed some light on Bookwyrm.social, the Fediverse equivalent of Goodreads. I've been doing some more reading lately, and I like to keep track of what I read and also I like reading other's review, suggestions, etc. Now I boycot amazon and others big tech as much as possible, so for me Bookwyrm.social is the place to be. It's steadily growing I think, but I thought it deserved some more attention, therefor this post. Same goes for BookBrainz and to a lesser extend IA's Openlibrary. OpenLibrary is, among other things, a place where people catalogue book-metadata, and if a book is not on Bookwyrm.social yet, it can often be imported from OpenLibrary. Problem with OpenLibrary is that the data is often messy and there are a lot of duplicates. That's where BookBrainz comes in, the book-equivalent of MusicBrainz. They're not that big yet, but what they do very well is that they have got very clean data. I feel like BookBrainz has the potential to be the perfect source of data on books, for other apps to use as they please, similar to how MusicBrainz is already functioning. It just needs more contributors, but I'm sure it's steadily growing. I just started doing my part, adding the books I read on all three.

as a USian lemme say, hell yes

Electric car buyers don’t like right-wing politics. This means Elon Musk’s position at Tesla is very vulnerable and susceptible to economic pressure.

Hi guys,

The rallying call to put European tech first — backed by companies including Airbus, Element, OVHCloud, Murena, Nextcloud, and Proton, to name a few — follows the shock of the Munich security conference, where U.S. Vice President JD Vance tore into Europe like an attack dog, leaving delegates in no doubt that the post-War international order is in tatters and all bets are off when it comes to what the U.S. might do under President Donald Trump.

While not an artist, designer nor a marketer I believe that a bit of visual identification is important. So today I woke up and made this logo for the co-op initiative. The co-op is meant to help European companies and organizations migrate away from cloud platforms from USA. What do you think about this design?
