Europellinore

Me too. (Using Every Door, Go Map! an sometimes nice but tooo slow web-based mapcomplete in the mean time)

For everyone who still don’t get it: It’s time to stop being obedient slaves to emperor Donald. Stop buying American. Support European jobs, business, economy. Buy European.

Some of them I wouldn’t include or even use, because they are too eager to continue doing business in russia, thereby paying taxes to the russian state that uses 46% of their budget for their war against Europe.

Evernote, Capacities, Notesnook, Standard Notes (Not all of them fully European)

Don’t know if it’s a useful answer to your question, but might try offering the addition / updating of company locations info as a service to companies. For example check for a bunch of shop brands whether or not most of their shops are on osm, and if they aren’t (or very outdated), you make an offer to add/update. Then there are a few possible outcomes (besides no reaction):

• ‘yes, please help us!’
• ‘oh, we didn’t know OSM exists. Thanks for the tip, but we’ll manage it ourselves’ -> which is also a good outcome for OSM.
• ’why should we do that?’ / ‘no, too expensive’ -> evaluate your offer description or price

Adding a business to Mapy, doesn’t add it to OSM. The other way around it usually does (usually with a lag of a few days to weeks)

Reviews and pictures can be added in Mapy (https://mapy.com/), an OSM based map provider from Czech Republic. Quite useful as an alternative for google maps imho. Has pics, reviews, favourite lists, etc.

For updating / checking shops, companies, etc, the Every Door app is useful too.

Also Go Map!! for map improvements in general.

(All of them OpenStreetMap)

All other non-us maps mentioned here are, afaik, based on openstreetmap. OpenStreetMap itself is a database rather than a useful googlemaps replacement for navigation etcetera. Apps like Mapy and CoMaps are more useful for day-to-day use.

USA’s demand that Europe has to take care of its own defence, was never about Europe having to take care of its own defence.

I recently tried to calculate this for my company. I wouldn't call it negligible, but the impact of all video calls turned out to be much greater than the impact of AI.

Insightful (or probably: depressing) website shows the Dutch dependency on US tech for digital services like mail and websites. zijnwealautonoom.nl (‘are we autonomous yet’). Red button more clearly marks the US part of it.
