It has been a few weeks since we started this, which European email provider have you switched to?

  • I used to be on Outlook. Two weeks ago I made accounts on Proton and Tuta, but didn‘t like the missing IMAP and SMTP on the free plans.

    I then also made an account on web.de, but they don‘t support the plus notation for dynamic addresses (myname+service@email.com). So in the end I payed the 12€ for a year of mailbox.org and have been extremely happy with it!

    • Chief of Dutch Central Bank: US influence on payment systems is concerning, working on alternatives for Visa and Mastercard.

  • As far as I know, Giropay is being replaced by Wero, which is already supported by some banks in different European countries.

    It is so far one if the better PayPal/Visa/MasterCard alternatives I‘ve used, but adoption is still a problem.

  • This is a real step in the right direction! I would love to see a technologically independent Europe as soon as possible. Collaborative document editing might not sound that exciting in itself, but it‘s a really important building block for future projects.

  • 100% „der Projektor“. Bildwerfer makes sense as well, but I have never heard anyone use that word before.

    It actually reminds me of the German version of me_irl (ich_iel) where they try to use German words exclusively even if it sounds completely silly.

  • Fax machines and overhead projectors, if you live in Germany. Basically every office here still has a (frequently used) Fax machine and all schools still use overhead projectors.

    It was actually quite a shock to me when my University retired their projectors in 2023. They sent an email to each and every student as a warning. Life‘s crazy here.
