Right! Tedomum.net is hosted in France π₯
The buy Canadian Facebook group if you Facebook is full of great alternatives. Yes Facebook sucks the rigid cock of Satan, but it is very useful.
You make facebook sound a lot cooler than it actually is.
Why don't we(lemmy) get to suck the rigid cock of Satan? This is metal as fuck.
streaming: the right side, most of those are country specific.
The right hand column for βDrinksβ can just be tap water barring a few exceptions water in Europe is clean and safe as well as being delicious in some countries!
Check out my stack!
Any suggestions for alternatives?
Letterboxd is from New Zealand!
What's your experience with running /e/OS/ with banking apps and things like that? I've been considering a degoogled Android phone like Fairphone
Looks really nice!
Though Lemmy.world is Dutch and I would suggest Qobuz as a better alternative to Spotify.
7-Eleven is 100% Japanese since 2005
Boycott 9-Eleven instead.
I am American but don't want to be anymore
Pretty ironic that the website that created this, buy-european-made.eu, is actually promoting their Reddit community. They should really switch to an EU-hosted Lemmy instance, and also join Mastodon, just like european-alternatives.eu: @european_alternatives@mastodon.social
From clothing down on the right column, never seen any of these available for sale here in the midwest
They do not sell adidas in the midwest?
If I had to guess, the intended audience is Europeans.
This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.
The shareholders expect growth and therefore increase in the value of their investment, public benefit companies are however under no obligation to their shareholders to pass on profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. It's definitely not a non-profit either though, it's a different structure.

Blue sky is an American non-profit?
There are so many issues with this, lots of wrong information, recommendations of stuff that's bad and really shouldn't be recommended and stuff that really should be there isn't. Please don't share it this further, it's absolutely shit.
TBF, it says "European", not "good".
It gets very obvious when it reccomends basically just volkswagens and volkswagen rebadges under cars.
"Perfect is the enemy of good. Please accept this slop."

Anyone know if Qwant's search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it's hard b/c it has the best search results
I've been using it for about a year now and it's quite capable. Picture search is good and the layout is quite nice.
There have been some fringe topics (mostly programming related) where I needed to resort back to Google because the results were just not good enough. Also it has no Maps equivalent (anymore) which sucks when you want to search for places.
I just use duckduckgo, which doesn't track you.
Just tried it, it has very similar results as Bing.
Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?
DON'T SPREAD STUPID SH*** LIKE THAT.
What a BS honestly, I am fully anti Trump but this does not help at all. Why? Some examples:
- You think supporting European faschist enablers (e.g. Red Bull) is better than [insert random US company here] is just silly.
- Do your homework: Capri Sun is German, not American, gosh.
- Blueeky is NOT non-profit, stop spreading misinfirmation

How can you make appliances list without Miele?
If you are in the market for a vacuum cleaner do yourself a favor, go more expensive and get a Miele, especially if you have some carpets, most vacuums can do a job on hard floors, but damn the difference of vacuuming carpets either a cheap vacuum vs my Miele is night and day.
(Don't know about the rest of their products, but they are german and a family owned business)

Bluesky has to be running a massive propaganda push. I see so many lies saying they are decentralized or like here saying they are a non-profit.
This shit is evil. Whoever is making these fliers is not being honest.

Mmm... ditch Garmin, strap a raspberry pi + car battery to your arm, & away you go.
"just ditch apple, get an old rotary phone, tons of cable, top tier camera, and an ibm system 370 and lug them around instead." Was that your point? That garmin is literally the only one making gpses and watches?
Lol, or get a polar fitness watch instead?
