They have 89 followers on Instagram, 59 on Facebook and 258 in LinkedIn. They deserve more, no?

And we can do so much better here on the Fediverse, right?

Started moving from gmail of personal email account from gmail to Mailbox.org

Normally I am do not "scream aloud" about changes like that. But this time I got experience I want to share.
What I decided to do is to make sort of task, or plan, of what should be updated and update it gradually, like 1-2 item of the list per day.
Also "shocked" to see how many things are bound to our emails, and this is only what I was able to remember.

Are EU Products booming due to US-Tensions?

"Due to the U-turn in US policy, more and more people are looking for European or Luxembourgish alternatives to American products. This is not always easy. But in addition to well-known local offers, a new, fast-growing internet movement is also providing help. On the return to local products and services."

Move Back to Europe

A new website to help people migrate from US digital platforms to European ones

(Obs.: The people behind the site decided to recommend specific companies rather than give a list of alternatives for the person to choose from)

Mailo is a French e-mail provider that has a version of its e-mail service specially designed for children. It is called Mailo Junior and it's a safe and educational email service for children aged 6-14.

Parents are able to monitor their children's address books and children will only be able to exchange emails with their parent-approved correspondents.

No advertising, no tracking, no profiling - just like an email service should be for everyone!

Mailo Junior offers two different interfaces. The Mini is perfect for kids aged 6 to 9, with basic features. And for those aged 10 to 14, the Junior interface is the way to go, with more features such as a calendar and virtual disc.

Later, the child's account can be upgraded to the standard Mailo, so they can keep their own address.

And most importantly: kids can email Santa directly from Mailo! How does it work? Parents receive their child's message to Santa Claus and then instruct Santa's helpers to create a personalised message just for their child. (well, sadly this feature is currently only available in French ) (Conditions: https://perenoel.mailo.com/mailo/fr/bureau-du-pere-noel.php)

The data is stored in France, at Ecritel (https://www.ecritel.fr).

It's now been six weeks since I started writing those #BuyEuropean bulletins. And now, with #Meta's frankly infantile reaction to the fine issued by the #EuropeanCommission over their breaching of the Digital Markets Act, the time has come to tackle their services directly. Today, we’re learning how to leave #Meta, how to leave #Facebook, how to leave #Instagram, and ultimately, how to leave a toxic relationship that, for many, has brought nothing but misery and decay.

LAUNCHING A VISION FOR DIGITAL AUTONOMY

Still new to the Fediverse — finding my way. But I’m committed. And thinking big.

I’ve been exploring digital autonomy from all angles. What began as a personal reflection became a proposal: the European Digital Autonomy Initiative (EDAI).

I’d love your thoughts — and boosts! Maybe this can help bring together some great independent efforts.
