    If you haven’t: Check out if you can switch your computer to Linux. It’s easy, most of your stuff will run without problems and you can stop Microsoft from stealing your data. And maybe try switching your mail from Gmail to an european one.

      Are there computers that CANNOT be switched to Linux!? Genuine question.

        That is the golden rule of every Linux discussion: There is always one guy that is complaining that he can’t use Linux because he is using some niche software as a DJ, line dancer, industrial metal smelter hobbyist or formula 1 mechanic. That guy will loudly proclaim that Linux is totally crap and not ready for normal users and nobody should use it, because the software to configure his 2004 McLaren is only available for Windows.

          But that is not a computer on which it cannot be run, still.

            If you’re looking for computers: Your smartphone is a computer. Android is even kind of Linux based. But you are not allowed to install it.

    yet another reason to buy European - simply to annoy them. Fuck the US.

      Don’t just buy European. Support FOSS, because that’s the only sustainable option we have.

    The more you threaten and insult us the less we want to do with you. You don’t get us to rely on you by trying to bully us and being unreliable. That has exactly the opposite effect

    I’m pretty sure asking a sovereign country to give up their sovereignty will just push them to move forward with those initiatives.

      Unfortunately it seems to be that way:

    And yet Amazon is trying to convince us that infrastructure in EU will be sovereign. Jokes, pure jokes

      With the same logic why would we not move to the Chinese services which can be even cheaper or maybe russia is still able to provide us some super trusted computing?

        Russia would not be able to provide reliable wooden wheels with their tech.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
