Defence is critical, stop working together with the USA!

European countries should avoid depending on defense products from the United States. The USA has proven to be unreliable, do not act according to the international rules of law, refuses to justify its actions and more problems: https://mastodon.social/@TheStefan/114264058885748495

Relying on distant, unstable regimes for our IT—are we playing with fire? 🔥

Best time to switch to #Linux?! A year before your next computer upgrade! Choose brands from countries that uphold #HumanRights and #Democracy, like #Tuxedo (tuxedocomputers.com), built for Linux
Use it as much as possible and fall back on your current computer where needed. E.g. I used it still for OneNote, and took the time to move to #Joplin
Happy on Linux ☀️

My experiece #Tuxedo : https://www.tuxedocomputers.com
- German assembly, European privacy
- Complete technical freedom during ordering, e.g. keyboard from a specific country, extra memory etc. 👍 A techie experience but fine.
- Linux compatible and thus no feedback as from some others: "Linux not supported, so no powermanagement"
- Operating Systems Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows pre-installed possible
- Battery weakest point, but sufficient
Happy owner, hoping for some more playful designs soon. Go Tuxedo!

Boycotts are effective, as this shows once again. Discourage bad choices. Invest in green energy and turn the heating down a notch.

Your personal data and the time and clicks you spend on platforms are worth a lot of money. Don’t give it to US Big Tech, but to open-source projects and companies in countries that still value international law.

- Undermining press freedom.

- Withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

- Active support for Russia and other non-EU-friendly states.

- Suppressing opposition and independent civil society organisations.

- Undermining fairness and transparency of the electoral process.

Why would they want to stay member of the EU and NATO? Why should we trust them in our midst?
--> Get them out of the #EU #NATO

Car Rental - companies should:

At #online booking:
- should collect all required info to avoid pickup delays.
- should disclose all possible insurances and extra charges, including cross-border fees 50 euro per day.

At pickup:
- must provide a clear damage report. Relying on consumers to spot issues is unfair.
- extra damages at pick up, should be confirmed prompt by the rental company.
- vehicles should be provided with a full tank.

Elon Musk is betting Tesla’s future isn’t about cars at all

Tesla dominated the electric vehicle industry by the mid-2010s with sleek, fast cars that helped combat the public perception that EVs were severely limited by short ranges.
