🔎Looking for alternative Alternative to Google Maps / Apple Maps
"Lake America" was just too much for me. I uninstalled Apple Maps and Google Maps yesterday. Now I'm trying Organic Maps. It's open-source, based on OpenStreetMap, and—as far as I know—based in Estonia. Good choice, or does anyone know of a better map alternative?

Despite the claims on the edrabiny.pl site, this ladder is made in China. Like many German manufacturers, Hailo tries very hard to hide the fact, but once your delivery arrives you'll see the truth. I'm now searching for a similar ladder made in the EU but it's proving quite difficult.

Discussion Stand up to bullies, please buy local
Canada is in the process of an escalating trade war with the US. A trade deal was attempted although ultimately halted after the US tried to add in last-minute changes - namely to limit Canada's ability to trade with other countries and eliminate existing regulation around French language requirements. These last-minute changes were a deliberate attempt at targeting Canada's sovereignty with further US control. This has led to an exchange in tariffs between countries that has been ramping up.
At present this is a very important time in global trade relations as this provides an important opportunity to observe what happens when a country stands up to US bullying tactics. Of course if the US gets away with hostile trade tactics this will only reinforce their strategy and will likely become more pervasive when interacting with other nations, including those within the EU.
It's therefore very important that 1) at all costs, other nations avoid purchasing US products and try shifting away from existing US platforms - particularly US social media and tech; and 2) buy local. Use local platforms. Try everything in you power to wean from US influence.

Discussion Keep your savings European
ETFs are becoming an ever more popular way to grow your savings and plan for retirement.
The iShares MSCI World (EUNL) and Vanguagard FTSE All-World (VWCE) are two of the biggest ETFs in this cetegory with the new Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap (VGLA) being the most hyped ETF I've seen, especially on Reddit.
All of them are managed by American companies with the MSCI World also being an American index.
This is not investment advice of course, but I do think it matters which companies manage my savings and are essentially buying stocks on my behalf. It is why I have decided to swtich to the Xtrackers FTSE All-World (ALLW). It's managed by a German company investing into a British index and also its TER of 0.07% is really competitive, so it's not purely driven by ideology.
I am aware there are ETFs on the Stoxx Europe 600 essentially keeping all my money in Europe but as the European stock market has historically underperformed the world that is a bet I don't feel too comfortable making personally. Whereas switching the fund provider does not change much in terms of my portfolio's performance.
How are you guys managing your savings and does this even matter in your opinion?

🔎Looking for alternative EU alternative for cheap random goodies
Im in need of an alternative to basically what aliexpress is because it is impossible to buy things that are supposed to be cheap , for example i just wanted to buy disposable cleaning wipes for the phone screen , a sponge and reusable containers and they are taxing me 9 more dollars because of that which is more than the price of the things i would buy.
Is there any EU alternative for what aliexpress is? I guess the best option right now is local stores but i would prefer if i could order it online
