Does someone have recommendations for cargo shorts? I need new ones for the upcoming summer. Everything I find are shorts without additional pockets and/or they are to short, I like mine at knee length. Thank you!

I created this page so we can have a link to point people to. What this needs:

• A short and memorable url.
• A better design? It's now under my project and thus in the same design, but I would prefer it to be a separate thing.
• The url in the logo.

Help is very welcome.

A while ago we had a post with a comic that was a bit controversial due to it being generated by genAI, but we did not explicitly have a rule against it.

We wanted to discuss this and ask the community, but this apparently had already been a topic on feddit.uk for awhile and they have made a instance rule about it (announced in this post).

Since buyeuropean community is on feddit.uk, the feddit.uk rules apply to this community and therefore I wanted to announce this new rule so it doesn't come as a surprise.

Copy of the post body text from the announcement of this rule on feddit.uk:

So no:

• AI generated memes of images
• AI generated answers to questions

edit: this applies to feddit.uk communities, we won’t block AI art communities on other instances or sanction our users for posting on them.

In the context of this community.

if youve ever been put off by the thoughts of having to install self-hosted web apps or manage a cloud VPS or a DIY server at home, then pikapods might be worth checking out

they make it very easy to get up and running. just sign up (they give you 5 euro free credit to get started), install the apps you want, then you will be charged a certain amount depending on how many apps youre using

theres about 90 apps to choose from but some notable ones would be Immich for photos, Joplin for note-taking, Blinko for something more like Google Keep or Pinterest, FreshRSS for managing RSS feeds, Wallabag for saving articles to read later, Navidrome for running your own music server, Nextcloud as an alternative to Google Drive or OneDrive

im running wallabag and freshRSS myself and theres not much to comment on really, they were both very straight forward to set up!

FBC: Firebreak is a 3-player co-op game set in the Control universe. It's Remedy Entertainment's (Finland) first ever multiplayer game and first ever self-published title. It will be released June 17 for PC (Steam, Epic), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Steam Deck support is one of the priorities for the devs. Unless they pull off some nonsensical shenanigans, it should be playable on desktop Linux as well.

The game costs €39.99 for Standard Edition, €49.99 for Deluxe Edition, and it's included in the game passes for each platform from day one. Deluxe Edition contains some cosmetics, and you can upgrade Standard Edition to Deluxe for €10.

There will be free content upgrades and paid cosmetics. Two major content updates are scheduled for this year alone. According to the devs, the game will have none of that FOMO crap that is so prevalent in the gaming world currently. If something is available now, it will always be available. Also, if you have limited time available to play games, this should be a good option for you. There are settings to adjust the length and difficulty of a game.

They streamed a Developer Update yesterday. It has some live gameplay, among other things.

Lots of open-source (and I think all or mostly European) alternatives to big US tech.

Until you get a chance to leave behind Google's Android operating system completely, here's an article I saw with a few fairly simple things you can do that will reduce (although not eliminate) the ability of Google and others to scrape your data and monetize you.

I already do step 1 (Firefox etc). But looking at step 5, for example, my phone had all those ad options set to "on".

This year, I gave 10 euros to Libre Office

I gave 5 euros to VLC

I gave 5 euros to Qbittorent

I come from a low-income country. Europeans can afford to give much more.

Last year, the CEO of Adobe earned 20 million dollars. He only travels in an armored SUV with bodyguards. He has been described as completely obsessed about money and power. If he could get away with it, he would murder open source developers.

With very limited ressources, Inkscape, Krita, Gimp, Kdenlive are doing fantastic work, offering alternatives to Adobe.

Please support open source software. You don't have to spend fortunes. Just adopt one software.
