Buy European

I am becoming convinced I should migrate my private mail to another service hosted within the EU. But my god do I not want to deal with migrating mail.

Americans probably should have boycotted American products back when Europe put consumer data safeguards in and the US government refused to. Our food safety, our work life, our online data, our health care-- all driven by profit motive in the US but protected as rights in Europe.

This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.

Sad Element/Matrix noises q.q

Bluesky has to be running a massive propaganda push. I see so many lies saying they are decentralized or like here saying they are a non-profit.

This shit is evil. Whoever is making these fliers is not being honest.

The right hand column for “Drinks” can just be tap water barring a few exceptions water in Europe is clean and safe as well as being delicious in some countries!

There are so many issues with this, lots of wrong information, recommendations of stuff that's bad and really shouldn't be recommended and stuff that really should be there isn't. Please don't share it this further, it's absolutely shit.

This list seems a bit flawed, for instance on the travel line, Trivago is owned by Expedia in the US and Booking is headquartered in Amsterdam.

Also including BlueSky seems a little odd given the intent

Proton’s CEO supports Trump despite being an EU based company:

Pretty ironic that the website that created this, buy-european-made.eu, is actually promoting their Reddit community. They should really switch to an EU-hosted Lemmy instance, and also join Mastodon, just like european-alternatives.eu: @european_alternatives@mastodon.social

The buy Canadian Facebook group if you Facebook is full of great alternatives. Yes Facebook sucks the rigid cock of Satan, but it is very useful.

And for software like Microsoft and Adobe:

7-Eleven is 100% Japanese since 2005

I'll just buy using temu or AliExpress. European brands are too expensive in my third world country

How can you make appliances list without Miele?

If you are in the market for a vacuum cleaner do yourself a favor, go more expensive and get a Miele, especially if you have some carpets, most vacuums can do a job on hard floors, but damn the difference of vacuuming carpets either a cheap vacuum vs my Miele is night and day.

(Don't know about the rest of their products, but they are german and a family owned business)

I am American but don't want to be anymore

Completely missing are power tools and guns. So please buy Bosch, Festool, Hilti, H&K, Cz., Glock, FN.

streaming: the right side, most of those are country specific.

This list has some issues, Booking.com is Dutch and Philips' Consumer division is just a name that whitelabels other companies products and is owned by a Chinese investment company.

Check out my stack! Any suggestions for alternatives?

DON'T SPREAD STUPID SH*** LIKE THAT.

What a BS honestly, I am fully anti Trump but this does not help at all. Why? Some examples:

1. You think supporting European faschist enablers (e.g. Red Bull) is better than [insert random US company here] is just silly.
2. Do your homework: Capri Sun is German, not American, gosh.
3. Blueeky is NOT non-profit, stop spreading misinfirmation

Also: avoid AKG, consider Austrian Audio.

AKG is a popular brand in professional music and audiophile circles. It was bought by Samsung in 2016, who promptly drove the company into the ground, closed their Austrian facilities, and moved headquarters to America and production to SE-Asia. AKG's name is now used for brand recognition on Samsung's generic big tech garbage. Yes, I'm still salty about it.

Austrian Audio was founded by the actual engineers who worked at AKG, currently owned by a Danish audio tech company. They produce high-end professional headphones.

You do know that RedBull is owned by a right-wing extremist in Salzburg who tries to undermine Austrian democracy with Servus TV the same way Murdoch and Springer do in Germany and elsewhere?

Consider buying Solovairs instead of Dr martens. They're basically the same, the main difference is that they are made in the UK in a factory that used to make Dr martens before they delocalized their production to Asia
