For EU citizens and residents: contact your local MEP.

The EU is a big ship and it takes time to turn around. That's fine and understandable, but I feel they haven't really understood the world has radicaly changed and they cannot hold onto the fairytale of US/EU cooperation, even if Trump is undone tomorrow, Hate towards us can come back in 4 or 8 years.

AlternativeTo is a large database of software and online services focused on showing popular alternatives to applications. They have a lot of filters that you can use to find the right app for you and hopefully they will soon include an EU or country of origin filter!

Btw, it's a Swedish website.

Found on Reddit

I'm looking for an alternative to duolingo, the main appeal for me of duolingo is the gamification of the app as this helps me to stay consistent (so just normal flashcards would not be suitable).

Thanks in advance

Is it time to start an Infomaniak community on Lemmy to post news and Q&A?

I’ve recently picked Infomaniak for my buyeuropean/degoogling process and I think it’s pretty great, but the online dicussion is really limited compared to Proton or Tuta.

Manga Issho N°1

Released on March 25th

With an introductory price of € 4.90 for over 300 pages on a 165x240mm format, the first issue of MANGA ISSHO is particularly attractive for manga enthusiasts.

 undefined

        +300 PAGES OF MANGA
    18 EUROPEANS AUTHORS
    14 EXCLUSIVES STORIES


  

From the second issue, the price will be adjusted to € 6.90. The magazine will be available in bookshops, specialized manga and comic stores as well as online retailers starting from March 2025.

So apparently Zalando is problematic, see https://lemmy.ml/post/29285005.

I liked it because they have plenty of brands and despite they made it more difficult some years ago, it was still possible to filter somewhat by environmental and ethical gradings.

Alternatives?

My 2yo nephew and his parents are moving to Latvia from overseas. I'd like to send the kid birthday and Christmas presents each year, and usually the easiest way to do this is by ordering a gift online within his country/region (I live in Australia and international shipping is expensive).

What are some European online shops that ship to Latvia? At his current age I'm mostly interested in books and toys, but may need more variety as he gets older. Bonus if the store offers gift certificates, as that may be the best option until they get settled.

Thanks!
