If you’re ok with doing some selfhosting, a DNS filter like PiHole or Adguard Home should take care of those. A nice bonus is that these can also block most in-app ads :)

If you setup a VPN like Tailscale you can even make your phone traffic go through a DNS filter you serve at home, so your privacy is always protected.

I interpreted them to be Willow Catkins, not cotton balls. Not sure which the artist intended.

Edit: they are indeed supposed to be Willow Catkins, no no kitty harm here :)

Although they don’t include your requirement for a physical volume knob (sadly), Wooting keyboards are really built to last.

Edit: I see that they actually have programmable and hot-swappable knobs on their roadmap: https://wooting.io/knobs

It’s Cathulhu!

Switched to Proton Duo just before the US shitshow started, still happy I did. So far mainly using it for mail, drive and calender, will be setting up VPN soon as well.

+1 for Secrid, they are sturdy and compact, and the card pop-up is super convenient.

Check out https://wooting.io/ from the Netherlands! These are really built to last.

I like the idea, but really dislike the name. Makes it sound like it should follow in USA’s footsteps which exactly what we don’t want.

+1 for Sumatra as a viewer, it’s super fast, even with large documents.

Okular has support for filling forms, but I’m not sure if it has more advanced editing features.

A non-adobe, but closed-source alternative is Foxit. It’s Chinese, so not EU, but also not US (:

For garden shears Felco from Switzerland is great

Very nice initiative!

Vonroc is a Dutch-designed powertool brand, though their manufacturing does take place in China.

Ah I mainly checked the post text, thanks for pointing it out!

OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation

Don’t forget Valheim, an open-world survival/craft game from Sweden
