Can confirm Dutch. Buy European = koop Europees.

If the context requires the form 'buying European (products)' the order of words changes to 'Europese (producten) kopen'.

Especially the media from outside us

My 2 cents: it's is great when travelling but I end up visiting the website of the bus/train company to actually book the ticket, so it's mainly useful if you are somewhere and you don't know the companies offering public transport.

Edit: I'm from Europe and never went outside of it, don't know anything of how good it works in the rest of the world.

Thanks for the tip, time will tell when I will need a new phone but I like Fairphone as a company for sure.

Flaw in our human design I'm afraid, either a or b thinking seems to sit very deep in our system also in other places

I read the Fairphone 5 new cost 500 now. I have been buying €150-€200 phones second hand now for years and they last me 2-3 years. Usually they already don't get updates anymore. I prefer to spend my money on other things than a phone, but if they Fairphone lasts as long as people say i could get one new and theoretically spend as much money. My brother on the other hand always buys top tier phones and then sells them after 2-3 years and always says I'm making the dumb decision because his phones has high resell value. He has to be much more carefull with it because it has such a high value I don't envy him but I might change my 'strategy' if it gets me to use a phone without google

Nice thank, will look into it if my current android falls apart or i consider it the right time to degoogle further

I have a firetv stick and a playstation hooked up to my TV (which is smart, but horribly slow) and would never choose to stream something on my playstation if it's about usability. Maybe a playstation remote might make a difference but still

They also mentioned getting good tires after they started doing that, not before

If the produced stuff last longer it wouldn't mean there would be less competition on innovation, people would still have a reason to sell you their old appliances because they want certain new function. This law is against making stuff that can't be repaired or breaks easily. Don't think you'd buy a 2 year old tv if it doesn't work, right.

Where I live you can easily give your stuff away or donate it to a charity shop, but it's a tiny bit less effort to chuck it in the trash so there are people who do that. Not all of them, thank god, but you can come across decent stuff every one in a while. Do have to say people are more likely to dump cheap stuff than reliable stuff from known brands.

This is too easy a joke, but what do expect if the content comes from a scientific American.

Neutral??

France on Friday announced the "Choose France for Science" platform, operated by the French National Research Agency (ANR), which will enable universities, schools, and research organisations to apply for co-funding from the government to host researchers.

This is a good thing, but always France has to take the 'we are going to fix this ourselves'-approach. Maybe it would have taken a lot longer, but I would really prefer to see a "choose EU for science" program, supported by the commission.

I can't afford a new Fairphone and my current Samsung is starting to get to the end of its lifecycle, would you recommend me getting a secondhand pixel to have better acces to alternative android os when this phone dies?

I think both are part of the same culture to be honest, they are just in very different positions both pushed to an extreme situation (the kids shooting up schools and the government officials threating immigrants like crap). Personally I believe you get what you give and this is the result of a society that is getting what it has been giving (or not giving, really). Really sad situation where a lot of people get way less than they deserve (the parents of the killed kids, the children of the deported families etc)

Ah, I am guilty of liking that. But I do think it is a very different taste than regular dark roasted chocolaty coffee and they should suprise you with a funky light-roasted one as their standard bean. Those are more suited for specialty places where they have multiple grinders with multiple beans.

I'd love it if they just went like "man walks nude in white house" and then show a picture of some guy walking around in a white house, focussing on the headline instead of the body of the text

xcancel is nitter instance, which is a FOSS front-end similar to what invidious is to YouTube. What you see is pulled from the Twitter servers, but without all the trackers, ads and cookies you get when you visit twitter 'the normal way'. I believe they maintain the integrity of the URL, so you can copy and paste the text after xcancel.com and place it behind x.com if you want to be sure xcancel or another instance parses data correctly. Your mistrust is a good thing.

And totally agree, conspiracist took over the government including their communication channels, still partly in denial myself because some stuff is so unbelievably crazy.

The Onion can't compete with this
