Firefox’s built in translator from Project Bergamot is made by a co-operation of several European universities and Mozilla. It’s a local LLM that you download so the translation never leaves your computer. You can translate whole pages with it or select text and right click and “Translate selection”. The only problem is that if you had some raw text you copied from somewhere. You’d need to go to some pastebin site, paste the text, select it and translate selection. I guess it’s not that inconvenient.

There used to be a desktop version somewhere but I couldn’t get it to work. You can run the wasm version from their git repo maybe

Orlen bad?

You can always expand to that sort of reasoning. There is a difference between “European news vaguely related to trade” and “discussing european goods and services”.

This is a problem in this community, see also https://szmer.info/post/11377754/13171777 France buying aircraft carrier? It’s an european alternative! /s

How is this related to buying european goods and services?

If you’re not ready for closing you can just suspend it while not looking for a job.

I’m so glad the vote ratio finally caught up to headphone jack jihadists lol

An independent studio that develops a game I’m playing recently launched a “supporters edition” which includes pretty much OST, a bunch of wallpapers and some concept art. It’s essentially a donation.

I thought - wow, with half the videogame world owned by Embracer Group I actually want to support this smaller studio.

I like that Devold had the balls to make something like this, 90% merino too lol https://www.devold.com/en-gb/devold-merino-long-stocking-e91cc06c/

I didn’t think of blocking, thanks that’s a good idea. Thanks for providing both accounts - blocked both.

Good to hear. It’s interesting that so many people mention visiting their factory. Is it a popular company in Sweden? Here’s another person mentioning visiting their factory (the military versions are also mentioned): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9MaXaanED0

The wool content is low, most of their wool blend models can be found here.

The wool models are:

• Merino Trail (27% merino)
• Trek Merino (21% wool including 14% points merino wool)
• Merino Light (20% merino, 45% pima cotton though)
• Summit Merino+ (20% merino, 45% pima cotton, knee high)
• Lifestyle Wool Blend (17% merino)

I think the company good is if you like colorful designs rater than boring monocolored socks like I posted in the OP. I would stick to the cotton models due to the composition (e.g. little shepherd has 87% cotton) to support the foundatins that the company supports.

Thunders Love’s composition to price ratio is pretty crazy. 35€ for 40% wool. Some of the models have no composition

Our socks are designed in a little village in the North west of Spain, at the bottom of a beautiful estuary, at the mouth of Lerez river, near Portugal border, there they are produced in small family workshops by hosiers who have been doing this throughout three generations.

Calcetines Mestizaje seems to have a few merino models - 1, 2 with ~80% wool content at a good price

Proximity fashion and local workshops
Our product is manufactured in a family, local workshops with a limited production in which the love and experience is put to provide a product of almost artisanal quality, with parameters that make it a close, sustainable and proximity fashion item.
The workshop is located in Pradoluengo (Burgos) a region with a long tradition of production and manufacture of textile work.

Miss Calcetines has a lot of (80%) wool models in nice rough texturebut they’re all One Size? https://misscalcetin.es/collections/lana

The about us page in Spanish says they’re made in Spain at the bottom of the page, which is nice.

Arctic Bay seems to be cotton only

Bro what is happening to this community lately? This has nothing to do with “buying european” as a consumer, it’s not a brand or product recomendation.

Do not use this community to promote Nationalism/Euronationalism. This community is for discussing European products/services and news related to that. For other topics the following might be of interest:

Is anyone else in the market for an aircraft carrier to be interested in it as an European product?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements: Not United States Internal News

I would prefer if they would ease the creation of temporary Mails instead of hiding it in the settings. Yeah me too. I wish they’d integrate with Bitwarden’s e-mail address generator. If you e.g. use anonaddy you just paste a anonaddy apikey into Bitwarden and it creates e-mail aliases in anonaddy for you.

Though it would be nice to just use the e-mail alias service from your existing e-mail provider (as you describe with mailbox) rather than buying another 3rd party service.

Closest I found is this at 188 EUR (!). The electronics are probably non-European and they’re just assembled in France.

They also have regular one time password two factor authentication (6 digit code every 30s) for a while now, in case you tried them while it was still the weird “PIN + OTP” thing

The keypad lock feature is really bad. You know the feature in smartphones where even on the lockscreen there is an “emergency call” button, so anyone can call? In the HMD candybar phones, you can just press “9” and it bypasses the keyboard lock. So if you put the phone in a bag and the buttons get pressed randomly, eventually it will reach “999”. Then it’s a matter of the green call button being randomly pressed and it calls the ambulance.

The emergency team even called me back asking why do I keep calling and do I need help, as they wanted to block my number from calling them.

HMD used to manufacture (I don’t think they’ll release any new Nokia phone till the end ofthe year) phones using the Nokia brand, because Nokia licensed it to them. The license ends with the end of this year. From that point on HMD will make devices under their own brand.
