Check my reviews out at !mediareviews@lemm.ee or !mediareviews@lemmy.world.
I’m slowly starting to post on the .ee one…
Also @gon@lemmy.world and @gon@lemmy.pt.
That is so dystopian, holy shit… I mean, if you see it as something people would want/need, then yeah, that sounds good. I don’t know if such a thing exists, though. This link shares some things, features, and apps that maybe do some of what you’re talking about.
I must admit that I don’t have much experience with buying second-hand.
My purchases so far have been 3 jeans, all of which were well-advertised, reasonably priced, and the sellers were all great. My one experience as a seller was also pretty reasonable: a buyer asked for a discount, I took too long to respond, they sent me a nice message saying they weren’t interested anymore; a second buyer asked for extra measurements, I provided them, they asked for a discount, I did it, and it was bought immediately. I simply can’t complain!
I’ve heard others’ complaints, though, so I know you’re not alone in your qualms. Payment options are a big deal for me… Vinted doesn’t support Portugal’s national system, which is a pain in the ass…
Great write-up by Niccolò.
I actually agree with the commenter on that post, the lack of quoting and using images is pretty bad, especially for screen-readers (which I use), and not directly linking sources (though they are made clear regardless) is a bit of a pain.
I’ve been seeing quite a few posts about this, pretty funny that it all happened so fast.
That’s terrible… I’m so sorry. Hopefully people can find a workaround or something… I don’t know…
9€ is kinda crazy, wow…
People are recommending good European brands — which you should definitely check out! — but I’d like to also recommend buying second-hand.
It’s cheaper, better for the environment, and you don’t have to worry about supporting American companies; Even if you buy from an American brand (Wrangler, Levi’s…), the money is going straight to a fellow European citizen and to whatever platform/website you buy it from, so you just have to make sure to use a European platform such as Vinted.
It might not be as convenient as buying straight from the brand, but it is better.
Hahaha, no I get that! I was trying to ask what exactly about owning chickens is illegal. Is it a noise thing, smell? Risk of disease? Are ducks illegal?
Do they just hate chickens?
What do you mean illegal to own chickens? What?
Well, certainly not nobody, I hear it mentioned quite often on the internet! Just make sure to keep talking about it, if you want it to get more popular :D
Both Tuta and Proton have a free tier for their email. Also, I think Infomaniak’s kmail might be an even better replacement for the typical email/cloud providers than the aforementioned, for normies at least.
I see Klarna all the time too, online.
Is this kind of like a decentralized Visa/Mastercard network?
That’s nice, but most countries already have their national networks. I think the Digital Euro is probably a better solution, since (I believe) it’s in collaboration with the national networks, instead of replacing them.
IDK tho I’m not a specialist or anything, I’m not sure if I misunderstand this Taler thing…
Searching
I feel like SearXNG goes way under-mentioned. It’s a meta search engine, basically a search engine aggregator…
mobile Apps
Obtainium should be mentioned more. It’s not technically European, as its creator is Canadian, but it’s fully open-source. It’s an app that helps you manage other open-source apps. I feel like it’s a good way to avoid the Google Play Store, if you’re looking to use European open-source software.
Passwordmanagers
KeePass is oft mentioned, but KeePassXC is better, IMO. Keepass2Android is the Android equivalent.
This happens all the time. .org is a German-first instance, I believe, so that’s a reason for the community to exist. Just cross-post.
IDK man, over here I don’t think police interactions are as violent as they are in the US…
