Linux-first laptop vendor NovaCustom contributes 10 000 USD to Heads firmware - Together with this, NovaCustom launches Heads firmware for their V56 series

genialokal.de is backed by over 750 owner-managed bookshops across Germany. Since 2015, the joint umbrella brand has stood for the goal of strengthening the local book trade, with 80% of users using the delivery option "click&collect" to pick up their order from their local book store.

I want to avoid paying american credit card processor fees. Because their leadership is being hostile to their neighbours.

The payment processors Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express are all american. I would prefer supporting the economies of friendly european countries instead.

I see my favourite artists on there but the selection seems more limited and I can only stream the songs of the albums I like. They also have lossless audio.

Does Qobuz pay the artists more?

I suppose I will switch over to create the increased demand and write letters to the artists to ask for more albums to be made available on the platform.

Description from their page:

TUXEDO Computers are customizable Linux notebooks and Desktop PCs optimized in the first place to run with Ubuntu-based Linux operating systems. Literally Linux hardware in a tailor-made suit.

I've been wanting to buy a laptop from them for awhile, but I like to assemble my own PCs and honestly don't need a laptop. At this point I'm just looking for an excuse to support such companies...

This company started as a Ukrainian startup in 2014 and funded their way into mainstream via Kickstarter. I've personally bought at least one Christmas gift per year from them for a few years. Especially the wooden mechanical apparatuses are really cool.

And yes the quality is good. They even add extra pieces for pieces that they suspect might break during assembly for more complex products.

Sorry if old news, I didn't know!

Society6.com is a platform for artists to sell prints of their art on various products (for me it has mainly been about getting stickers).

I know of redbubble but IIRC it is not European either. Where do you guys get your stickers from?

Please comment below or dm me if you would like to become a moderator of this community to solidify European sovereignty.

What are the best outlets to read about the current events occurring in Europe and in the World.

I have been wondering recently what European services I should be checking out :)
