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:
It still helps because you are buying european which is better for europe also you called every single company in the list fascist with this logic, a lot of them arent, idk what redbull did tho.
It is german but pretty sure its sold by coca cola.
This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.
This works a bit for Canada too.
I live in the USA and I will buy foreign as much as possible. Until we make it illegal most likely
Omg, I'm boycotting USA ... since like forever, I'm so sorry, it was totally by accident, thots and players, I hope everyone recovers financially.
Tho the steaming one I do a bit ... differently.
(Also just boycott big corpos as much as possible, no matter the region!!)
+1 for MUBI , it is a streaming service with curated high quality cinema. And they have a very accesible plan . They have a notebook or magazine they deliver every few months that is priceless. I have some volumes. For Cinema lovers obviously .
I wanted to subscribe, I think they had a promotion for 1$ for a few months. I looked into their privacy policy and I was not really happy, data collected for personalized advertising etc.
It was unfortunate, but I would like something to see more niche movies.
love to see bespoke weathered text instead of a font
It's a shame it needed someone like Trump to actually get European alternatives more attention. They needed attention way before Trump.
Also the food and drinks alternatives are a bit odd. Many brands on the European side I don't recognize, probably because they're pretty local to whoever made this list.
Yep, several Nordic food, drink and snacks brands there. The burgers at Max are good but I doubt they'll deliver from Malmö Sweden to Portugal.
The list has it's shortcomings but it's a good start.
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.
"Oh no this is wrong"... proceeds to shit on it, not provide a single example or correction
"Perfect is the enemy of good. Please accept this slop."
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)
Every student home I've lived in had Miele appliances, indestructible like Nokia phones.
True.
But also not really the usual student budget.
I think they mean "rentals for students"
Yes, I understood as such.
It's balancing between cheap & cheap to replace vs actually good and lasting.
Also at least in the UK the best KitchenAid alternative has got to be Kenwood. Love my mixer.
Their washing machines are beasts. In a good way.
Imo the best European (specifically German) made OS is OpenSUSE. Its Sway spin is the definition of functionality above form, nearly all tools are designed with that in mind and it comes with good defaults out of the box. Granted it also looks amazing if not a tad dated, the unified design and color language however is nice even if that color is green. Also consider donating to the FSFE rather than the FSF.
Hell yeah, OpenMeSussy is so great!
Tumbleweed (a rolling release) is so stable I switched my friends & family to it prob 5+ years ago, now I only have to do any maintenance when switching hardware.
I worked with opensuse back in the day on a collaborative Linux effort. What.a.trip.
Wow I hope it works for you and works well. Me, I've seen behind the curtain.
What's wrong? I'm very happy with it
