#Dropbox Konto erfolgreich gelöscht.

Das war meine erste Cloud und ich hatte viele sehr alte Dokumente, Bilder usw dort drinnen. Das war auch eine gute Gelegenheit alte "Datei-Leichen" durchzugehen. Vieles hatte ich nämlich bereits vergessen, das meiste konnte aber eh weg - manches hab ich aber auch gern ins neue Zuhause rüberkopiert.

Als Löschgrund hab ich übrigens #BuyFromEU angegeben.

feddit.orgUsers and posts like this make me MAD! - feddit.orgA post from /r/BuyFromEU [https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jspcbs/buyfromeu_will_fail_unless/] got my blood boiling. I don’t have an account there any longer, so I have to vent here: > Personally, I am not buying into this idea that you should support a certain business just because it is based in your vicinity. I will buy the product that comes at the best price for the quality I desire. If it is Japanese or American or Chinese, so be it. > In my opinion, the BuyFromEU movement will fail unless the governments of EU countries make a serious attempt to understand the reasons why businesses struggle in the EU and address the structural issues preventing them from scaling up. >Essentially, it is the government’s job to fix the reasons why people weren’t buying from EU in the first place. Unless the government cuts down on regulations, unless they makes it easier for people to grow their wealth by working hard and not having to pay 50% of their paycheck in taxes, unless they make electricity and gas cheaper, unless they fix the housing shortages in all major cities of Western Europe - this movement will FAIL. Buying Paturain instead of Philadelphia cream cheese is never going to help your economy grow strong. > My choice to not buy Nike and buy Adidas instead will only help the top bosses at Adidas. I am going to still be taxed at 50% of my income, so I might as well buy the cheapest product. The government should give me a serious incentive to buy European, then I will. The Reddit OP shows a perfect example of: * Deflecting towards the government instead of taking personal responsibility * Complaining about taxes and greedy cooperation, while only looking for a personal financial benefit We as as Europeans must be willing to be uncomfortable again. We ARE the system. So to change the system, we are the ones that must change. Stop whining, start winning.

Any area of life? Digital services (browser, search engine, email, calendar, drive, productivity tools, social media, mobile phone, computer), food, clothes, e-commerce, music, movies and so on.

It's a lot to do at once, so take it one step at a time. Every little bit helps!

There's a handy list for beginners here: github.com/anitwek/alternative

And you can follow some hashtags here on Mastodon, that people use to share their stories about moving to alternatives: #EuropeanAlternatives #BuyFromEU #BuyEuropean #boycottUSA

And share your journey here on Mastodon to encourage others too! If you have any doubt, ask the community! 😀

#Pixelfed and other #Fediverse platforms like #Mastodon were just mentioned on German television (ZDF) 🎉:

Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

🎵 We listen to a lot of music from different countries and languages, so we go to concerts, have CDs and vinyl, but most of the time we listen to music via streaming services.

As part of the #BuyFromEU movement, we will personally try to listen to more music from Europe, especially from other European countries other than our own, but we need suggestions.

What if we did this together? This can help us discover a lot of nice music from our European friends. 😀 🇪🇺

So we thought it might be nice to create themed playlists with songs from different European artists.

Instead of letting the algorithm of your music streaming app decide our weekly recommendations based on paid content from record labels, the random recommendations of the Mastodon community could expand our musical horizons and help boosting European music. 🎻

Each week we could define a theme (e.g. music for a rainy day, songs with clever lyrics, etc.) and invite everyone to recommend a European song that fits the theme. We would collect the suggestions and create a public playlist somewhere (where?).

To decide on weekly themes, we could make polls a week in advance and on a certain day everyone would submit their song suggestions.

Are there people here who are interested in participating?

Warum #unplugtrump und #buyfromEU so wichtig sind: damit wir von den Bekloppten nicht erpresst werden können.

„French companies shocked by letter from US embassy in Paris demanding they respect Trump's anti-diversity policy

The US embassy sent a letter to a number of French companies demanding that they comply with the Trump administration's 'anti-DEI' policy if they want any contracts with the US federal government.“

@balkonsolar
Ein regelmäßiges Magazin?

Einleitung Steckersolar kann nicht nur auf dem Balkon,.sondern auch auf Dach, Wiese installiert werden.

Als Besitzer war ja grobes Doing:

Solarhändler finden
Beste Module,
Cloudfreier Wechselrichter (sind da auch reingefallen trotz Vorinfos)
Gesamtkosten Versand, Gadgets, Aufhängung
Der Beispielrechner der HTW
Verschattung
Solarpaneltypen Glas, Plastik, beidseitig...
Die Musterschreiben
Rechtsbeistand
Gutachten zur Legalität, Positivbeispiele aus der Praxis
Garantie(bei Chinateilen, Händler)
Steckdose+Anschluss
Speicher
Kombi Balkonsolar, Mehrfamilienhaus, weitere Solaranlagen
Wie trackt man Verbrauch/Stromerzeugung (App, Smarthome)

Also wenn man das Magazin liest, sollte man am Ende die Solaranlage komplett betrieben können.
Heikel wäre für einige, den Stecker zusammenzuschrauben. Ist gut gemeint, aber einfach Schuko für Steckdose ist nutzerfreundlicher.

Danke #paypal 😠

Wollte heute etwas in der digitalen Welt kaufen und "unkompliziert" mit Paypal bezahlen (seriöse Dienste werden natürlich nicht angeboten) und das geht:
Nein..

Weil:
Kein Lastschriftmandat hinterlegt. Ohne dieses kann man wohl mindestens seit heute nicht mehr bezahlen, was aber nirgends steht..
Also lösche ich das Bankkonto aus Paypal und nun wird mir jeglicher Dienst verweigert.. 😍 👏

Wo bleibt eine Alternative?

Someone here suggested WERO, we read about it and have just activated it in our bank. It was very simple and took 2 or 3 clicks.

An all-in-one digital wallet solution:

Wero is a new European payment system designed to modernize the way we handle transactions across the continent. Launched in 2024, it aims to unify various national payment solutions into a single platform.

Wero is the brainchild of the European Payments Initiative (EPI), a consortium of 16 European banks. The initiative was born out of a need to create a sovereign and unified payment solution for Europe, reducing dependence on non-European payment systems like Visa & Mastercard.

With Wero, sending money to friends and family will be much easier because it allows you to send and receive €€ instantly using just an email address, phone number, or QR code. No more IBANS, 3 days of waiting to receive 💸 etc.

It's also a good alternative for Paypal 🇺🇸 and it is designed to replace several national payment solutions, including Giropay 🇩🇪, Paylib 🇫🇷, Payconiq 🇧🇪 🇱🇺 and iDEAL 🇳🇱 which not always work cross-borders.

The roadmap is full of features to be implemented like online and in-store payment.

For the moment, it's available only in Germany, France and Belgium.
