(Repost with author change)

In the last weeks several databases and websites emerged around the idea of buying European, or local.

Coming from different communities overviews of products and services can (for example) be found at the following websites:

If you are using Firefox or Chrome you can be nudged to do better by using the opensource Go-European-Plugin:

I'm in Canada, and it seems like all bike multi-tool brands are American. I thought Lezyne was from Europe, but nope, American.

Park tool, crankbrothers, Silca, Blackburn... All American.

Are there any European made, or even European brands of multitools for bikes?

I think Topeak might be a European brand, so that could work.

EDIT: Found one! Unior has an entire line of regular tools, and bike tools. Made in Europe (EU) and I can get them in Canada. https://uniortools.com/eng/category/940477/multitools

EDIT 2: wow, they really make everything! They could easily replace all Park Tool tools. I wish I found this brand sooner!

Hey! I know Proton is from the Europe. I already use thier services since many years. But I want to switch from them because of years full of disappointment. Empty Promises for me as a Linux user and also thier recent exit from the Fediverse and the CEOs Political View on Trump. I just don't really trust them anymore. Thats a personal choice and I do not want to discuss this here.

Im looking for alternatives now that are also from the EU and have similar or even better Privacy.

My biggest problem is Proton Pass probally. Because Bitwarden is from USA and also I love the Alias Feature so I would need a new Alias Service from the EU.

For Mail I will simply try Tuta. VPN I already use Mullvad.

So second Problem would be the Drive. Do you have nice solutions for an good cloud provider to save and share files?

Thanks in Advance :)

Does anyone know of a European website/app where you can share your architecture/design portfolio? It seems there is only Behance or Dribble but those are from the US.

Hi everyone, ive seen this giant painting in Florida and would like to have a painting with the same vibe/image type. Doesnt have to be an obscenely expensive original painting but a copy on linen print is just fine for me. Dimensions roughly 1.5m wide. Looking only for EU sellers, please. Thank you!

Can anyone recommend European brands for loupes (jewelers loupes) and precision scales (0.01g)?

Actually I don't need it for my phone, but I need USB charger with 10W output (5V,2A). And I would like it not to cost too much, because I need more than one, but if its guaranteed made in Europe... Or any asian made that is not China? I know this is BuyEuropean, but if there is no option, my second rule is no China/US. Thank you

AFAIK, currently all debit cards are US-based. Mastercard - US based, VISA - US based. We used to have girocard in Germany, but it's being phased out by most banks in favor of one of the US solutions. There used to be the EC system but as I understand it, it's gone for a while now.

Do we currently have any card-based European payment solutions? How much money do we actually give to the US just for the luxury of being able to pay by card?

I was getting disappointed with the quality of Converse boots before this whole thing kicked off. My partner suggested I try the French brand Paladium. The quality is much better. Apparently, the French paras use them. All I can say is they are more comfortable and last longer than my Converse ever did.

From the Article:

“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.” But, he added, “we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”

Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

I have a genuine question about this movement. Small businesses and startups aren’t the problem. Why “buy from EU” instead of “stop buying from big corporations” regardless of their countries? Small businesses (from anywhere) cannot absorb the rising costs and tariffs, and they are struggling.
