  • European alternatives to Google Translate? Preferably not LLM.

  • Pentagon aggressively lobbies EU against Buy European weapons push - feddit.org

  • USA’s demand that Europe has to take care of its own defence, was never about Europe having to take care of its own defence.

  • Should I use an European AI or just keep leeching on the American water and energy?

    Jump

  • I recently tried to calculate this for my company. I wouldn't call it negligible, but the impact of all video calls turned out to be much greater than the impact of AI.

  • Dutch public and private sectors dependent on US cloud services

    Jump

  • Insightful (or probably: depressing) website shows the Dutch dependency on US tech for digital services like mail and websites. zijnwealautonoom.nl (‘are we autonomous yet’). Red button more clearly marks the US part of it.

  • This major city just banned fat tire electric bikes

    Jump

  • In the Netherlands, they are mainly used as a means of transport (or rather: racing) for underage teenagers (12-14) in general (and migrants and young people with a lower level of education in particular), as long as they are not yet allowed to ride a moped and therefore happy to use these fatbikes to circumvent the rules for mopeds.

    It might well be possible these ‘bikes’ are a gift when buying vapes, or the other way around, don’t know, but somehow they mainly occur in combination with each other.

  • App for boycotting US products tops Danish charts after Trump’s Greenland threats

    Jump

  • Pushtoleave is good anyway, here’s some other maybe useful apps (not all of them are useful in every area or for every product category, though)

  • App for boycotting US products tops Danish charts after Trump’s Greenland threats

    Jump

  • There’s quite a lot of similar apps without monthly fees. Not all work perfect for all areas and product categories, neither do they flag both US brands and US production (usually just one of them), let alone combining it with Pushtoleave. But still, maybe some might be useful:

  • Europe’s digital reliance on US Big Tech: Does the EU have a plan?

    Jump

  • In the Netherlands there’s now a useful dashboard on the depressing state of US tech dependency of government agencies, education, healthcare and a group of large companies.

    zijnwealautonoom.nl (‘are we autonomous yet’)

    There’s still a long way to go.

  • Europe’s digital reliance on US Big Tech: Does the EU have a plan?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of European alternatives already. Ok, maybe many of them aren’t exactly as smooth or marketed as the billion-dollar companies of the US, but many are still pretty good. The main problem is not the absence of good European tech, the main problem is a lack of funding (due to the absence of a common internal market), and a lack of enough marketing power. And a surplus of ‘IT-managers’ that pretend to be the expert but don’t know there’s life outside the googlosphere.

    Some useful lists of alternatives:

  • Digital liberation: EU Parliament calls for detachment from US tech giants

    Jump

  • Could have been a incorrect link, my fault. Removed the www, and it seems to work properly now

  • Digital liberation: EU Parliament calls for detachment from US tech giants

    Jump

  • In the Netherlands someone made a nice (or maybe I should say: depressing) dashboard (still beta) for the US dependency of government agencies, schools, healthcare and companies: zijnwealautonoom.nl (‘are we autonomous yet’). Red button highlights the enormous extent to which most Dutch organisations behave like a digital colony of the US, for example screenshot shows education.

  • I'm off Proton Mail and not going back, what's you favorite alternative?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that tweet aged well 🤦‍♂️

  • American and owned by American capitalists might be a big disadvantage, but that doesn’t automatically equals it to the nazi deepfake porn platform for foreign troll armies that X has become. Europeans better move to mastodon, but still moving to Bluesky is way better than staying at X. Bluesky is basically similar to X a decade ago. No sane and intelligent person in the world can deny that Twitter a decade ago was way better than C today.

  • Rightwing leaders endorse Viktor Orbán in Hungarian election campaign video

  • Great moment for a bunch of high profile decent VIP’s to make a video endorsing Peter Magyar

    With all those American attacks on European unity and identity, it's about time to ditch all those crappy clothes with American flags on it, and start wearing EUROPEAN flags. #EuropeTogether🇪🇺💪
