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

love to see bespoke weathered text instead of a font

Love to see Europeans jumping on board as well. At some point Americans only customers will be Russia and North Korea if Trumps administration keeps bullying and alienating countries like this.

HERE We Go? Isn't that owned by microsoft?

Food drink and clothing I was never buying either side anyway.

Recently got some new plain cotton t-shirts though. ยฃ2.50 each at Tesco so I got 8. Should just about last me to 2030.

Damn, I wish I had MAX were I live. I was in Sweden last summer and my SO didn't let me go to MAX ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyone know if Qwant's search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it's hard b/c it has the best search results

[โ€“] DrCataclysm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I've been using it for about a year now and it's quite capable. Picture search is good and the layout is quite nice.

There have been some fringe topics (mostly programming related) where I needed to resort back to Google because the results were just not good enough. Also it has no Maps equivalent (anymore) which sucks when you want to search for places.
