I'm from the Netherlands but traveled to Swiss on interrail a few years back and we went to this little village called Brunnen. They have a Victorinox Visitor Center where you can assemble your own Victorinox knife. You can even engrave it. It was an awesome experience, and you'll have a unique multi tool afterwards.

List of European Linux Distributions (inspired by blaze's post) in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

I love this list because it's about open source software, but I also agree to what @Polderviking says because open source transcends the boundaries of countries.

Douze points for idea, but it definitely would need to be a team effort

If your European bank supports Ideal you can use Tikkie and Groepie (Tikkie ask individuals for money back, Groepie is dividing group expenses) https://www.tikkie.me/groepie

European Made - Spring into Europe: Honey, Seeds, and Bird Boxes for the Equinox (europeanmade.eu)
 

Tomorrow is the Spring Equinox (or the March Equinox). Here is a blog post I wrote with 3 European products to celebrate spring with. (I have no affiliation with the products or companies, my blog is non profit and I run it purely to promote the use of European products)

I don't really despise people who do that, but it is a bit odd to post against big tech and then only post on big tech 🙈
It will never be my only posting platform again. Right now I'm loving the fediverse, so I'm sticking to that (and the website I'm making of course)

I never looked at it that way, but yes that is definitely a strategy!

Thanks! That's a good idea, that way I wouldn't have to use it a lot and still can inform people.

Thanks! I'm definitely talking to people around me. I'm even having stickers made to put on my car and bins etc. so hopefully that will trigger some conversations as well.

I feel conflicted, can you give me your opinions? (feddit.uk)
 

Every since I decided to join the Buy European movement, I've been avoiding US tech as much as possible. I still have my personal accounts but I try to use fediverse and European alternatives. However I've also built my website to promote buying European products. (Non profit, I don't earn from it).

Now that got me thinking... Most people that use Fediverse are fairly in the loop on things like "buy European" and shop local etc. But who really need to hear the info is people who are not. To reach them I'd probably need to insert links to my website on "big tech" social media websites. It makes me feel like an imposterer though to do that (advice to buy European and then putting content on an American network).

Can you guys/girls/others please tell me how you would handle this situation and what you think is best?

Irish products for St. Patrick's Day (europeanmade.eu)
 

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day! And lo and behold it is my lucky day, as I found some charming Irish companies which all make their products in Europe, two of them exclusively in Ireland! Of course I wrote a blog post on them.

Do you know any other Irish products that are great?
