Need a new phone? Get a Fairphone! in c/BuyFromEU@europe.pub
[–] tfm@europe.pub 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I suppose they did that to make it as easy as possible to get into it. It's sad but it's just how it is.

Interesting. Haven't heard about them. Would you be ready to post a link to them into the community? :)

It's quite counterintuitive but most stuff is not an asset but rather a liability. You have to maintain, clean, store it. Messiness comes from having too much stuff. It's almost impossible if you only have things that are really meaningful for you.

That's so unfortunate. I'd still rather buy their phones than supporting Apple or any other soulless corporation. Even if they have the perfect phone

Welche verschwundenen Geschäfte oder Produkte vermisst ihr? (europe.pub)
 

Ich persönlich vermisse Schlecker und Zielpunkt sehr – beides waren Geschäfte, die in meiner Nähe waren und mich immer an meine Kindheit erinnern. Es hat einfach etwas Nostalgisches, in diesen Läden einzukaufen. Wie sieht es bei euch aus? Gibt es Geschäfte oder Produkte, die ihr vermisst und die euch ebenfalls an vergangene Zeiten erinnern?

That's why I'm a big proponent of the Anticonsumption and Minimalism Movement. :)

You are right. It's just a friendly reminder. :)

Yes we have to keep it inclusive. However, it's still not bad that we encourage people to buy as locally as possible.

What do you think about the idea of banning Twitter in the EU? in c/buyfromeu@feddit.org
[–] tfm@europe.pub 1 points 1 day ago

Isn't that exactly the way Bluesky/ATprotocol works? You can store your account/data wherever your want (PDS) and the Relays/Firehorses are responsible to aggregate posts.

I also like ActivityPub more but Bluesky is definitely easier to use.

I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.

In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.

If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:

  1. ⁠Buy as local for your city, region you can get (support small companies, mom & pop shops, farmers etc)
  2. Buy generally Bulgarian stuff to support your own economy
  3. Buy EU stuff to support EU economy
  4. Buy Canada or any other ally nation stuff to support good relationship
  5. Buy from USA, China etc (arguably buy Chinese before american)

Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

Careful when buying RedBull - also Reddit mods... (lemmy.world)

Red Bull - European but Far right

Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.

Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...

(And it's also not very healthy,....)
