That's an interesting approach. But yeah, it would need to be made law because companies wouldn't take on that work on their own.

Hopefully Salling can improve their methodology, I still think its pretty cool they're trying to promote responsibility buying.

Yes, I understand. You're right. I wonder how they could do a 100% accurate tracking, considering how intertwinned todays world economy is. I think even the most European of brands manufacture stuff in China.

If the owner is european, doesn't that mean taxes are paid here?

First of all, it's not pointless -- every little bit helps.

I really want to emphasize this. People are having an "all or nothing" attitude about this when there really isn't a point to doing that.

If we can replace even 30-40-50% of the software we use daily with European alternatives, it's already a massive win. The huge difference then adds up at scale. Its millions extra that will enter the EU economy at the end of the fiscal year.

Yeah, in the end I managed to make it work. Quite cool. I wanted to set it up in such a way that all EU SEs get a tick every time I search for something but sadly it seems Startpage is giving me issues.

It's one of those apps where you can't go by the reviews.

Basically they changed the interface quite a bit recently and so old customers got upset. But I use the app daily and they are seriously improving it to the point that I'm relying less and less on Google Maps. They keep adding more and more business details to the app.

If we were having this conversation a few months ago I would have said something different, so really the Improvements have been noticeable lately. I recommend that you give it a go for a couple of days at least and see how it serves you.

Yep, this is the explanation. People are still trying to rationalize "why do this in months, its all gonna collapse!" not understanding that collapse is the actual point.

Have you tried talking to customer support? I hear they are quite responsive.

I 100% agree. Whenever these companies start with their own projects I immediately get suspicious that their goal is to enshittify down the line with vendor lock-in.

The only reasons why I'm seriously considering a Tuxedo are 1. European brand and 2. Double SSD.

Not a lot of laptops seem to be offering double SSD while being Linux compatible, so my hands are kinda tied.

When was it the last time a Christian did that? Other than JWs who have stopped knocking on doors like 9 years ago.

Btw, I've 100% had Hare Krishna's and other "better yourself" religions bothering me for money. And christianity is a "better yourself" type of religion, too.

There's so much wrong with your comment that really, all the downvotes you are getting are totally warranted.

Doesn't Migadu work for calendars? Its a bit finicky, but I used these instructions and it worked for me.

Not sure about contacts though.

Wow. They offer that? Do you know how it works?

Disable DMs? (lemm.ee)

Is there a way to disable DMs? I keep being spammed by users from an instance called sh.itjust.works promoting some weird out-of-platform personal profiles.

They usually send this stuff and then immediately seem to get banned, but I still see their stuff since images are displayed by default. Seems like a big oversight to allow this.

Is there a way to block receiving DMs? Or at least have some sort of Accept/Decline dm feature like on Reddit?

Pretty please. I got used to using it on the other platform that shall not be named, and now I can't live without it.

It's free, helps low vision readers and can be downloaded directly from the Braile Institute.
