euAlternativesI installed Ubuntu with dual boot earlier this year. I kept windows just in case. Today I realized that I haven't had the need to boot windows for at least 2 months. You can guess what happened next... I used gpart to delete my Windows partition, then I had to use an Ubuntu flashed on an SD card to unmount the drive with my Ubuntu OS and extend the disk with the deleted windows partition. Windows gone, forever. #buyeuropean #boycottusa #buyeuropeantech #digitalsovereignty
I bit of disappointment: few months ago I stopped using WhatsApp with my family members. I installed Jami and Wire to test both and decide which one works better for us. Unfortunately neither. There are too many issues and glitches, so we ended up with Signal. Remaining a supporter, but Jami and Wire are not quite there yet. Messages not coming through for days, call not working randomly, if it works poor video quality. #BuyEuropeanTech #europe #boycottusa
I just accidentally came across https://www.squidapp.co/ , an alternative to Google's news feed for Android. Only been using it for a day, so no verdict yet, but my first impression is positive. The UI is slick, and the news are relevant. Developed by a Swedish company. #buyeuropean #BuyEuropeanTech #degoogle #boycottusa

About 3 years ago Wise bank started offering local bank accounts in my country. The next day I initiated the closure of my "traditional" bank accounts and since then I only have a Wise account. I'm still alive. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't need a loan/mortgage. Simple, cheap, digital, and European. #BuyEuropeanTech #neobank #wise
My household is becoming a #philips showroom. Listen #philips, have you seen my offer? That I buy your robot vacuum the day you turn up on Mastodon? #bigbusiness Ok I raise the odds: after your first post I will turn on my dad's Philips turntable he bought in the 70's in the BRD. I play one of his Beatles records, and post it here. How does that sound? #whybrandsdontcare #BuyEuropean #BuyEuropeanTech
Equal opportunity for Linux - let us choose at the checkout what operating system we want for our laptop - feddit.org
cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/11958306 [https://feddit.org/post/11958306] > As we all know, the EU loves regulation, sometimes even overregulation. One area where I feel that regulation would help is computer hardware sale. When I want to buy a laptop and I visit the online retailers, normally 80% of the laptops come with Windows, 10% Linux and 10% Freedos or without any. I would very much welcome if the EU made it mandatory for manufaturers to offer the choice of OS when buying a new laptop. Just like you chose the color, how much RAM you wanted, SSD size, you could also chose what operating system you want it with. As part of that, manufacturers would be obliged to send a fix donation after every sold piece to the corresponding Linux distro team, which would help the chronic underfunding issue. Not sure how much the manufacturers pay for Windowsfor the license, but theoretically the Linux equivalent machine should be cheaper even after the donation. Any views are welcome.
Ok #philips here is the deal: I promise that after your first post on #mastodon I will buy one of your robot vacuum cleaners. I would replace my Xiaomi that is dying anyway. Big business here #philips, what do you say? #BuyEuropean #BuyEuropeanTech #BigBusiness
After discovering countless #philips items in my household, I decided my next monitor will have to be #philips as well. Arrived today, the price is less than 100 EUR. Made in China, but I want to hope that fractions of what I paid stays in Europe. #philips, are you on #mastodon yet? #BuyEuropean #BuyEuropeanTech
I tested today the #magicearth navigation app as an alternative to #HereWeGo. Both are developed in the EU, and even though Magic Earth feels less mature than the Here navigation, I put my vote on Magic Earth. There is one thing that bugs me, how are they going to make money? Everything they offer is free, and investors money usually dries up very quickly. What is the plan? There must be one. #buyeuropean #BuyEuropeanTech #boycottusa
