Does second hand count? If so, I bought a Bosch laundry machine
Bought a Fairphone 6 (e/OS) and finally deleted my Google and Microsoft accounts.
Sold stock from ETF which covered US companies.
I’ll put that into european funds.
I recently bought a Fairphone 3 and installed Ubuntu Touch onto it, ditching Android entirely! I spent about 3 days working on this and would strongly recommend buying one of the newer ones with Ubuntu Touch pre-installed, I’m incredibly happy with it, feel freer than ever, and Google’s however-much-money poorer for not having my data!
Does abandoning steaming/live services and starting with self-hosting count?
I now wear sweaters and polo shirts fully sourced from Europe, including the cotton. They’re really nice, too, the quality is amazing.
People are also growing cotton in Italy now, so maybe one day we could have cotton that’s not only spun in Europe but also grown there. Still, lyocell and flax/hemp would probably be easier.
Which ones are they?
These ones: https://trendsplant.com/
Provide some links pls? :)

Sneaky Steve boots from Sweden made in Portugal.
I’m enjoying Qobuz
not available in Poland sigh
I also gave it a try, but had to cancel my plans to switch due to limited music selection and playlists lacking folders.
I am currently trialing Deezer, so I guess that still counts. Also can’t do folders for playlists, but basically all my music transferred over.
Deezer is owned by a Russian oligarch. Just something you might want to know about.
I do, but the company is based in Paris as far as I know, so it’s European. At least most employees are (probably?) around there, as are the paid taxes (assuming they pay any).
Given my experiences, I don’t think I have any other option that wouldn’t be just a way worse experience for me. There’s a reason in dropping Spotify after all.
I mean. There is Quobuz which is also French but actually only owned by French people.
Got my old PC from 2011 working again, had loads of RAM at the time and runs pretty well now. Put it in the loft and installed proxmox on it. Am now using remote-backups.com from Germany as a remote backup :) for a load of services.
Bosch made in West Germany
Which products do they still make in Germany?
Not sure. This one is 2nd hand. Absolute beast
I have a big angle grinder from 1884. Think its from Germany IR Switzerland. It still works like a charm
Moved my email from iCloud to Proton. For the next step, it would be great if Proton Calendar started supporting (recurring) tasks.
It does. As in; each other week for example. With start/end date or number of occurrences. Or do you mean something different?
I mean the way Apple implemented Reminders in Calendar. Tasks that recur every (week/month/3rd saturday of the month and so on) that I can check off and then the next one appears, etc.
I switched to DeepL
I too switched to DeepL. Also doing the trial period of kagi.com search. Probably gonna buy the “family” plan for me and my dad.
Keep in mind Kagi is US-American though.
Good point, I forgot where I was commenting on.
At the moment I’m doing most of my searches with Ecosia (yeah I know, they use bing and google, but at least they are German and planting trees), its only when Ecosia fails, I switch to Kagi. At this rate it will probably take me a year to run out of the 100 free searches that are included in the trial.
same here, switched to DeepL; then switched to Mistral AI.
Magic Pages (managed hosting service for Ghost CMS). Ghost is amazing. I thought bloging is dead. It’s not. It’s intuitive, scalable, natively suppors mailing AND fedi. MP makes it even better.
I signed up as a proof of concept, that this is a valid alternative. But man, did it delivered. It’s my first choice now.
