Adding reviews with political opinions might remove the review.

So it might be best to just rate it based on features if you write something, or just rate the apps without text at all.

This is not financial advice, I am not an advisor.

US folks, if you're cutting back your purchases, consider you are voting with your dollar wherever you contribute your retirement (401K, IRA, HSA, etc) contributions as well. Most places have few offerings, but it's worth looking if there are foreign investment offerings at your provider. At least for me there was a foreign index fund.

Continuing to invest in the US stock market will continue to show some amount of faith in its performance. Invest your money elsewhere if you can.

Hopefully this is allowed... I've seen lots of folks saying to drop paying for subscriptions, buy local (instead of big corporations), and to buy European if possible (or at least non-US). I think this fits that bill, but delete this if not.

It also has the benefit of not being a laundry softener aka liquid wax that deposits gunk in washing machines. A little goes a very long way so although it seems like it's expensive, you have to dilute it in water first.

This post is a reminder that Visa and Mastercard are two american companies and that every time you pay for something with your credit card you are most likely paying taxes to trump and his goons.

This post is also intended to be a provocation to all the crypto haters and the cashless payment fanatics.

Apple has a very limited list of search engines that it allows.

There are a couple of extensions that do reddirect, but that doesn't even prevent the request from going to the Search Engine defined in settings.

Alternatively, I can try a different browser, but they are objectively worse, and none of them can use extensions.

I'm wondering if I'm the only one stressed with this or has everyone found a alternative that I don't know.

This looks like proper monopolistic behaviour btw

Hey everyone,

I have been on the lookout for good European alternatives to the JBL Pro+ TWS (bluetooth in-ears).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Cheers!

WASHINGTON โ€“ Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer issued the following statement regarding the European Union's announced retaliatory tariffs on the United States.

"For years, the European Union has opposed the United States' efforts to reindustrialize. The EU has rejected attempts under successive U.S. administrations to cooperate effectively on dealing with global excess capacity on steel, aluminum, and other sectors, employing measures that are too little and too late.

If the EU acted as quickly to address global excess capacity as it does to punish the United States, we likely would be in a different situation today. The EUโ€™s punitive action completely disregards the national security imperatives of the United States โ€“ and indeed international security โ€“ and is yet another indicator that the EUโ€™s trade and economic policies are out of step with reality."

Announcement: https://old.reddit.com/r/Startups_EU/comments/1j5njk2/europeanstartupseu/

Hey Europe!

Weโ€™ve launched a small initiative called european-startups.eu to bring together all European startups, brands, products, and initiatives in one place. We are a group of people working in different areas within the IT space, but all with a shared goal: to make European startups more visible.

While there are platforms like ProductHunt and other websites showcasing EU products and alternatives, we wanted to combine the best of both.

We've introduced a voting system where you can upvote projects you like. Each week, the featured projects will change, and the winners will be highlighted on our website. A newsletter will also be sent to subscribers with updates. No sponsorships, no shady practices. The only option we may consider is adding sponsors to a separate page or to the footer with a very minimal logo.

Additionally, weโ€™re running our own AI locally, connected to DNB & VIES, to gather EU companies into one easy-to-navigate list.

We already got featured in some areas, so I hope our server is powerful enough to handle the traffic. We still have a lot to do.

PS Fun fact: we used 16-core 32gb from Hetzner to run all these fancy stuff. ๐Ÿ˜„
