Hi everyone in Europe! 🇪🇺 We wanted to do a survey to find out where Fediverse users live in Europe, but Mastodon only offers eight options in its internal poll feature, and we wanted a list of all European countries. Then, we discovered Tally 🇧🇪, an incredible Belgian alternative to Google Forms. It's a form builder made and hosted in Europe! We've created our first poll on their platform and we'd love you to take part by answering: Where exactly in Europe do you live? 😃 Just select your country in the list and we'll publish the results next Sunday. (Ps.: our form is simplistic, but their platform is really good. Users can create some really beautiful and complex forms and surveys! Please don't use our form as an example to judge them. 😅 )

Boycott American products or products made in the USA? Élodie Lapierre argues in this article that we should not boycott USA products made in France, only imported ones, because they employ more than 180,000 people in France. (even more in Europe) According to her, American products and services keep France working: in the food industry: - McDonald's employs more than 78,000 people directly and 28,000 farmers who supply nearly 1,600 restaurants across FR - Burger King has more than 25,000 employees - KFC employs 15,000 people - Coca-Cola has five production plants and 2,500 employees. - PepsiCo France, owner of brands such as Alvalle, Tropicana, Lipton Ice Tea, 7 Up, Pepsi, Bénénuts, Quaker, Lay's and Doritos, has four factories and 700 employees - The Kraft Heinz group (Capri-Sun, Weight Watchers, Heinz) employs more than 200 people In tech, - Amazon: 22,000 employees - IBM: more than 3,100 employees - Microsoft: 2,100 - Dell Technologies: 1,900 - Google: 1,300 - META: nearly 250 people In hygiene and personal care products: - Procter & Gamble: more than 2,000 employees and 3 sites. - Johnson & Johnson: 1,600 employees, 3 production sites - Henkel: 900 employees, 2 factories (Le Chat, Schwarzkopf, Maison Verte, Loctite etc.) Do you agree? 🤔

We like the work being done by https://lemmy.world/u/FallenWalnut. They compile information regarding European and Canadian alternatives, as many do now (like us), but they also generate visually appealing graphics (not like us! 😅) that differentiate services using labels depending on the people's preferences, such as privacy, environmental considerations, profit share, nationality, and so on. This is a lot of work! And they seem to be receptive to feedback, so if you have a differing opinion on a labeling matter or find new information about a company or open source solution, you can leave them a comment. 🙂 You can find their community directly on Lemmy or follow them on Mastodon by searching this address in the search box of your app: https://lemmy.world/c/PurchaseWithPurpose #PurchaseWithPurpose

Major world fashion retailers sell NASA-branded T-shirts, which is strange given that NASA is a U.S. space agency. Many people worldwide wear these shirts and accessories, not just in the US. The fashion industry makes a lot of money from NASA-branded items, and people love them. While it's easy to understand why US people wear these, the fact that they are popular all over the world is interesting. Why are there NASA-themed clothes in European shops like H&M and Primark? Possible reasons: - First, the NASA logo is in the public domain. This means that anyone can use it without paying licensing fees. NASA makes it easier for everyone to use their brand. - mass-market appeal: retailers sell cheap clothes that many people buy because they are easy to get. Young people often wear band or branded apparel because it's trendy, and NASA fits this "cool" factor. - symbolism: NASA stands for technology, adventure, science and innovation, and many people support these things. You support the space programme. You may look smart. - pop culture influence: celebrities and influencers have made NASA apparel popular on social media, turning it into a fashion statement. - designer clothes: even luxury designers are making expensive NASA clothing lines, which makes NASA's fashion credibility even higher.
