For those who don’t know the service, Made O'Meter is an experimental app from Denmark that's completely free and ad-free, created to support Europe, Canada, and friend nations around the world. Using the power of AI, the app estimates where products are made. While it's not always spot-on, it's a great way to get a better idea of a product's origins.

The last version was delivering wrong information about the origin of certain products, then it was put on hold by its creators, who apparently solved the issue with this new version.

Saw this e-OS on French24 vid. Developer claims open source OS for smartphones. No privacy data transfer to Google or Apple, but privacy protection and a smooth experience. There was a 4 month cloudservice disruption, which has been fixed. Also, you can use other cloudsservices ofc, as it's open.

Anyone good experience with this OS

What should other nations do? My strong recommendation to Canada, Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union is to join together to create a free trade zone that excludes the United States, imposing at least a 10 percent tariff on all imports from America.

They should also threaten to limit American banks’ access to their public stock markets, put limits on what their citizens can invest in American companies annually, and increase taxes and regulations on American digital platforms.

They will be tempted to negotiate and do so individually. They should not. They need to negotiate from a position of strength. A non-U.S. free trade union will give them that strength.

use your voice

If you are concerned about people being influenced by Russia, the US, and China, be it via Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, local ads, or whatever else, if you are concerned about that friend who suddenly started spouting anti-EU rhetoric from Youtube, if you're unhappy with how the EU and member states have handled it so far, this is for you.

EU citizens can respond and it would be in our interest to do so too.

It will take 10 minutes if you're quick, longer if you want to leave comments on each point. There are 4 points with up to 4 sub points, each comment can be 3500 characters long.

You can respond in any of the 24 European languages, so if English is not your preferred language, use your mother tongue.
If you are part of a community in your EU mother tongue, share a link to this in your mother tongue.

Here are the supported languages:

Feuerwear makes a series of bags and backpacks out of old firehose. I got one of their laptop bags since last year and I absolutely love it! They also offer a repair service and give a 3-year warranty on their products.

As far as I can tell from their website, some steps of the production are done in Germany and some (mostly sewing) is done in Serbia.

Referreral code warning
I got a code that gives a 10€ reduction for new customers (and gives me the same if it's used). I'm not sure if the code can be used repeatedly, so no guarantee that it works.
