That’s why I’m also always trying to push the benefits of open data/source/etc onto my employers. It sometimes works too.

It’s up to us as individuals to also make a fuss about this stuff here in EU. I love EU but I’m not blindly trusting every corpo that’s from EU.

Choose local (in our case European/EU), but not blindly and naively.

WHAT! I love my bialetti… Thankfully it will probably last me forever and the little sealing part I can get from other brands I guess.

Will do! :)

I don’t have anything to do add right now, but a fix suggestion:

“Community feed Buy European@feedit.uk” -> there’s a typo in “feddit”.

Was supposed to write that earlier but forgot sorry!

Nice resource!

I have to say I really like the idea of TLDR page. This is my first time bumping into a website that has a dedicated TLDR.

Pretty cool! I love that lemmy is quite visible on your page and that you link to !GoHugEU@lemm.ee on your about page.

I’ve often tried to link newjoiners some of our older posts where we had some really good discussion going on here in this community but have trouble finding them. Might use gohug to find links, thanks :)

Edit: wording

Yeah that was an awesome update! It also runs way smoother on linux than on windows - noticed this when I made the switch.

And it speaks for it’s software that it can be used for document editing! (yeah not always the right tool but still)

Well done! And yeah inkscape is bit clunky but I feel like it’s getting better and better! Love that FOSS projects in the creative field are getting a momentum.

Although knowing a few designers who’d love to fully switch to a FOSS alternative from illustrator at their work, it’s not quite there yet for certain professional work.

Since I don’t really do graphics professionally I always use inkscape for any vectorgraphic work I need to do!

Thanks for clarifying! I have been using Piped (piped.video) until the instance I was using went down. This will make for a great alternative!

Off-topic but I love the domain of your link yewtu.be lol

Out of curiosity may I ask what language? It’s been incredible for such a small language as Finnish.

I’ve been carefully optimistic about this - even if ecosia and qwant decide to start heavily serve ads it still means we have an alternative which will supplement privacy focused frontends and metasearch engines.

This is super interesting and I would like to hear more! Might be just what many of us are looking for. And there definitely is a market niche you’ve got here.

When I first heard of codeberg I was going to transfer all of my repos without hesitation but went looking for terms of use and other information about codeberg - that’s how I bumped into this information and it made me a bit sad.

If you’d be open to share your company name / weblink please do! Might even make a post about it in this community if you feel like that is something you can do (probably should disclose that you work there since people are eager to pull the report-trigger on self-promotion unless you mention it).

If not yet publicly, I can send you a message :) (I see you are possibly new on lemmy, so know that lemmy messages are not e2e encrypted and that’s why many of us add our matrix handles on our profiles).

Didn’t know mullvad is Swedish, cool. Wonder how they compare to NordVPN? Not an expert and I felt like the rabbit hole got deeper and deeper trying to make a proper purchase decision before committing to a specific VPN…

There are, but so far the ones I’ve found are not reliable enough for bigger scale stuff. That’s kinda why I mentioned “being ready to pay”. If there would be - let’s say - non-profit foundation hosting something like codeberg with free-tier for FOSS and paid for non-FOSS in Europe I’d switch to it.

I’m really looking forward to Forgejo implementing federation and am hoping to selfhost someday, but for now codeberg is not really allowing my full repository to be hosted :(

I’ve left github for personal projects (still need it for work for now), and moved to Gitlab. Gitlab is honestly not any better when thinking about european alternatives (it’s also US), and it is not completely open-source either, but the nice european alternative Codeberg is only for open-source projects and doesn’t really tolerate or give an option to pay to host non-opensource projects.

I would pay for codeberg if they allowed non-opensource repositories, but they have stated that codeberg does not really allow non-opensource projects. I’m a FOSS enthusiast and donate my time and money to FOSS, but not everything I make is FOSS.

I know, I could selfhost Forgejo, but it would truly be great to have, say, EU funded open code repository like Github/GitLab with possibility to pay to host non-opensource projects or something.

Ohh, okay have to check better whether a company is just a mailbox company from now on, thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Well, I guess that makes sense. I would definitely limit my online presence and try to keep myself private still even if I started my own SaaS company and use the company/product channel to communicate and market, but then again maybe that is why I’m not a marketer or have my own company, and would probably not succeed in a small startup lol.

Good insights and very well put. Learned some new stuff and it never hurts for me to go through the code again :) (was planning to check some of their code anyway because of interesting implementations!).

Interesting, well at least the code is open-source and I’ve myself also skimmed through some of their code and didn’t find anything suspicious. But didn’t know that about Estonian laws allowing anyone to spin-up a company even if they are living outside of Estonia. Thanks for the info!

Just to add my two cents about online presence: my online presence is also limited to lemmy, linkedin, and github. The only one with my real name and picture is linkedin.

Github I only use for work and doesn’t have any of my personal info and linkedin pretty much has one photo of me and works as my online CV.

I also try to keep my own visibility online low and don’t see problems with that. But these kind of mailbox companies are always bit suspicious…

Nevertheless, thank you for looking into this and posting about it.

The irony. I believe this tweet gave Signal a huge international boost.
