EU Search engine incoming: Ecosia is teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index (blog.ecosia.org)
 

For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

Steam alternatives? in c/buyfromeu@feddit.org
[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 5 points 1 hour ago

While an alternative except GOG doesn't really exist. What you can do is buy your keys from any site linked by https://isthereanydeal.com/

These sites sell keys but money still goes to the developer, its just that steam does not get a cut and the companies on there do.

The companies that I know for a fact are EU based Greenman and Fanatical (UK), Gamesplanet (France)

There's also GamersGate (Swedish)

Looking for: EU URL Shortener (Bit.ly alternative) in c/buyfromeu@feddit.org

Currently just using infomaniaks free hosting tier. Might look into this if I ever start paying for hosting. Thanks!

Looking for: EU URL Shortener (Bit.ly alternative) (feddit.nl)
 

I don't use it much but I use URL shorteners sometimes. Currently every alternative I can find is US based. Does anybody have any suggestions for EU based URL shortener websites?

My main usage is just having a shorter URL but limited statistics would ideally also be there (mainly amount of clicks per day)

Google Wallet replacement in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 3 points 8 hours ago

Any alternative I've found was either riddled with ads or paid (so I didn't try it, cause why would I pay if I don't even know it works)

Seems like its something we're still kinda stuck with. Try just paying with card or even better cash

FYI: Check if whatever brand you like also works with Tony's for their supply chain. For example Jumbo (NL supermarket) sources their chocolate from Tony's and there's quite a lot more partners.

Be careful by choosing some EU-companies in c/buyfromeu@feddit.org
[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 8 points 11 hours ago

Personally I try to go towards store brands for almost anything.

I'm from the Netherlands and currently shop and Jumbo the most. My drinks are all Jumbo, most food is as well. I even have shampoo and bodywash from them. Its all good quality (their conditioner is actually better than an 8 euro branded one for my hair) and much cheaper. They even source their chocolate through Tony Chocolony so even that is ethical.

The only replacement I haven't been able to find sadly is something for my Kellogs Choco Pops (the store brand are plastic in comparison) but its something I can live without so I'm finishing what I have (I had stock) and after that will be trying out random ones.

In the end I'd also like to remind everyone: Don't let perfect stand in the way of good. You do not need to pay attention to everything you buy, just make changes where you can in the long term. We're in a marathon not a sprint.
