I now wear sweaters and polo shirts fully sourced from Europe, including the cotton. They’re really nice, too, the quality is amazing.
People are also growing cotton in Italy now, so maybe one day we could have cotton that’s not only spun in Europe but also grown there. Still, lyocell and flax/hemp would probably be easier.
I’m enjoying Qobuz
I also gave it a try, but had to cancel my plans to switch due to limited music selection and playlists lacking folders.
I am currently trialing Deezer, so I guess that still counts. Also can’t do folders for playlists, but basically all my music transferred over.
Deezer is owned by a Russian oligarch. Just something you might want to know about.
I do, but the company is based in Paris as far as I know, so it’s European. At least most employees are (probably?) around there, as are the paid taxes (assuming they pay any).
Given my experiences, I don’t think I have any other option that wouldn’t be just a way worse experience for me. There’s a reason in dropping Spotify after all.
I mean. There is Quobuz which is also French but actually only owned by French people.
Re-read the comment you originally replied to. Music selection is too small for me.
Bought a Fairphone 6 (e/OS) and finally deleted my Google and Microsoft accounts.
Kitchen stuff from WMF! Saved so much money and good quality!
Got my old PC from 2011 working again, had loads of RAM at the time and runs pretty well now. Put it in the loft and installed proxmox on it. Am now using remote-backups.com from Germany as a remote backup :) for a load of services.
I switched to DeepL
I too switched to DeepL. Also doing the trial period of kagi.com search. Probably gonna buy the “family” plan for me and my dad.
Sneaky Steve boots from Sweden made in Portugal.
Magic Pages (managing hosting service for Ghost CMS). Ghost is amazing. I thought bloging is dead. It’s not. It’s intuitive, scalable, natively suppors mailing AND fedi. MP makes it even better.
I signed up as a proof of concept, that this is a valid alternative. But man, did it delivered. It’s my first choice now.
I recently bought a Fairphone 3 and installed Ubuntu Touch onto it, ditching Android entirely! I spent about 3 days working on this and would strongly recommend buying one of the newer ones with Ubuntu Touch pre-installed, I’m incredibly happy with it, feel freer than ever, and Google’s however-much-money poorer for not having my data!
Does second hand count? If so, I bought a Bosch laundry machine

same here, switched to DeepL; then switched to Mistral AI.
In whose world does a boycott of American goods equal “buy European”? The world is bigger than 2 continents
Likely that the sub is called ‘Buy European’.
Yeah, but it’s such a dumb impulse that I’d have expected it from an American. As a European it makes me cringe
