I recently discovered Mubi 🇬🇧.

Based in London and founded by Efe Çakarel. Born in Izmir and educated at MIT, he was worried that american streamers were flooding the world with mass Hollywood crap while quality cinema struggled.

Mubi supports and distributes movies from around the world.

On their catalogue, you find some the best award winners from the Cannes Festival, the European Film Festival, the Jerusalem Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival.

Netflix is like going to Pizza Hut.

Mubi is like eating at a Pizzeria owned by a Sicilian family.

The hobby, Crafts, DIY, Interior and Organizing Industry:
The blogging, influencer and Craft community and Industry is a big part of Amazon support and earnings. This is what I wrote as I unfollowed one of so far 5 of the mailing lists I am on.

"So sorry to leave your blog and mail list, but as a European who try my best to boycott Companies, and Products from the US that support the leadership now seeing you partner with Amazon, and then Jeff Bezos and more, I can no longer follow you.
Caroline"

In the bottom of many blogs you find this:
"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases."

Let’s back our own EU Tech industry. At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like; • TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows) • ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office) • Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive) Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can! Using this stack or joining this movement? Drop your thoughts or tips below! #europeantech #cloud #digitalsovereignty #executivesearch #gdpr #buylocal Marloes Pomp Techleap TUXEDO Computers GmbH ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud www.andthebigfish.com

They even want to buy computers from @tuxedocomputers and use @nextcloud

Dear Fellow Europeans

Any recommendations on where to buy a small number “Buy European” stickers in various sizes and materials that I can stick to my laptop/phone?

I started using Runna beginning of this year but now they've been bought by the US- based Strava. Looking for an alternative I stumbled upon Coopah. I think it's a UK company. Anyone has experience with this app?

In the past, Tesla lawyers even initiated lawsuits against customers who dared to criticize the quality of their cars or services. Such cases are documented and therefore not fake news. Last week, moreover, DOGE dismantled the department responsible for safety control and approval of new cars entering the market. Tesla experienced too many problems with this department in the past and now, through DOGE, took the opportunity to simply dismantle it. Moral of the story... buy a Tesla, a “safe” decision.

Budget: 80-150€

I'm looking for a pair of headphones to purchase, mostly for gaming. I've been using earbuds for the last few years but want to try out headphones. I heard Sennheiser is a good european brand and that their headphones are pretty good. What do y'all recommend?
