Looks really nice!

Though Lemmy.world is Dutch and I would suggest Qobuz as a better alternative to Spotify.

The right hand column for โ€œDrinksโ€ can just be tap water barring a few exceptions water in Europe is clean and safe as well as being delicious in some countries!

7-Eleven is 100% Japanese since 2005

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Boycott 9-Eleven instead.

Blue sky is an American non-profit?

I am American but don't want to be anymore

From clothing down on the right column, never seen any of these available for sale here in the midwest

If I had to guess, the intended audience is Europeans.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I just use duckduckgo, which doesn't track you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Just tried it, it has very similar results as Bing.

OK, but... What is the fault of the rest of the people in the USA?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?

HERE We Go? Isn't that owned by microsoft?

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_[email protected]
