    The right hand column for “Drinks” can just be tap water barring a few exceptions water in Europe is clean and safe as well as being delicious in some countries!

    This is misinformation. BlueSky is not a non profit. It is a public benefit company. The shareholders still expect profit.

      The shareholders expect growth and therefore increase in the value of their investment, public benefit companies are however under no obligation to their shareholders to pass on profits to shareholders in the form of dividends. It’s definitely not a non-profit either though, it’s a different structure.

        Plenty of “regular” for profit companies focus on increasing share value by investing profits back into the company instead of paying out dividends. That doesn’t really mean anything.

        Edit: I see what you mean based on what I said. They expect a return on investment is a better way to phrase it.

    Anyone know if Qwant’s search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it’s hard b/c it has the best search results

      I’ve been using it for about a year now and it’s quite capable. Picture search is good and the layout is quite nice.

      There have been some fringe topics (mostly programming related) where I needed to resort back to Google because the results were just not good enough. Also it has no Maps equivalent (anymore) which sucks when you want to search for places.

    There are so many issues with this, lots of wrong information, recommendations of stuff that’s bad and really shouldn’t be recommended and stuff that really should be there isn’t. Please don’t share it this further, it’s absolutely shit.

          I’m not in it but I have been told it’s almost impossible to control the narrative as Muskrat does on Twitter

          It is held by a benefit corporation which means they have to, at least pretend, to bring some societal benefit

            While AT Protocol is sort of federated in a sense, no one really runs aggregators (which serves half of the role an instance does in ActivityPub) besides BlueSky themselves, so they can still control it if they wanted to.

            Also, “normal” for profit companies can also pretend to want to bring good to the world. It’s misinformation because public benefit companies are allowed to collect a profit (post says non profit).

            I still believe BlueSky is world’s better than Twitter! But it’s important to be honest about it.

    DON’T SPREAD STUPID SH*** LIKE THAT.

    What a BS honestly, I am fully anti Trump but this does not help at all. Why? Some examples:

    1. You think supporting European faschist enablers (e.g. Red Bull) is better than [insert random US company here] is just silly.
    2. Do your homework: Capri Sun is German, not American, gosh.
    3. Blueeky is NOT non-profit, stop spreading misinfirmation

      1. It still helps because you are buying european which is better for europe also you called every single company in the list fascist with this logic, a lot of them arent, idk what redbull did tho.

      2. It is german but pretty sure its sold by coca cola.

        It doesn’t help because most of those “euro” options are publicly traded on American stock markets where the fascists make their money lol. You booked on trivago instead of some other place great now that stock went up and the well invested musks of the world just made some money anyway. Money they will use to influence elections all over the world.

        My response to you and the OP is simple: you don’t counter faschist stupidity with stupidity, but with nuance. That’s the difference between them and us, not where you produce or buy.

          But its not just about fascism. If you actually want to counter fascism you dont just go “im not gonna buy this product”, you actually have to take action. Anyone thinking a few people not buying a product will change the situation is a bit too optimistic. Even if you stop one of em another one pops up. You have to take action to change the system. But circling back yo buying european its still a pretty good thing overall so that europe can have a stronger economy. Anyone opposing this is like the people who voted for trump becsuse kamala wasnt any better. She was better and she couldve been even better if you voted for her and then protested to make her do what you want.

            A large social movement to reduce imports from a given country and support local manufacturing can indeed still be of great benefit and can materially hinder the success of fascism though.

    How can you make appliances list without Miele?

    If you are in the market for a vacuum cleaner do yourself a favor, go more expensive and get a Miele, especially if you have some carpets, most vacuums can do a job on hard floors, but damn the difference of vacuuming carpets either a cheap vacuum vs my Miele is night and day.

    (Don’t know about the rest of their products, but they are german and a family owned business)
