What European email services do you use?

Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.

I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

There are some amazing sneaker brands from Europe. Few of them are :

Adidas (Germany), Puma (Germany), VEJA (France), Salomon (France), Diadora (Italy), Karhu (Finland), Gola (United Kingdom), Superga (Italy), Hummel (Denmark), Munich (Spain)

Adidas and puma is obviously my fav but there are many others.

Please share your fav European brand for our sneaker heads :)

Red Bull - European but Far right

Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.

Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...

(And it's also not very healthy,....)

They try to produce them as sustainable as possible. You can replace the battery and other parts. And you support an European company!

Buying and paying for services is not only an American virtue, it's also a virtue of our fucked up system and the world we're living in right now. We know that we deserve better. We're known for our resilience, our personal and societal values and our thinking. Buy European and Be European!

Here's suggestions on how you can minimise your dependence on apps and services. It's not only a truly European value, but it not only helps your local businesses and also saves you in case of emergencies. Also: Make backups and store them in places other than your home.

My suggestions:

Print your photos, make photo books. Store your files on physical Hard Drives, print your most important documents and put them into folders. Make password protected backups on drives and give them to family members or close friends.

Get a real alarm clock, an egg timer, a DAB+ radio with a CD drive and Internet radio. Get a weather station. Store some music files on your devices with your favorite songs.

Download Wikipedia and store it on an external drive or on your phone. Have survival and emergency manuals and books at home. Keep your paper AND digital vaccination passes up-to-date!

Get paper timetables and maps from your public transportation provider. A foldable map of your area and learn how to navigate with it. Walk your streets, remember street names, shops and districts again.

Go to your local Library, get a free or really cheap membership there. Read physical and digital newspapers from the library. Use the computers and Internet access in the library. Play games on consoles at your library. Stream movies and music from your library. Rent tools for sewing or drilling Rent board and card games! READ BOOKS!

Get a paper notebook with a pen. Real Books, an eReader. A second-hand film- or digital camera. A calculator. A contact book and calendar.

A TAN generator for your online banking, if possible. Cash! For every day and emergencies.

Let's add stuff to this list.
