@europesays I believe that #Ukraine should make the final decision whether they want to fight or not.

The decision should not be done by the #US. It should be consulted with #European partners first.

For the EU, though, it would be, in my opinion, more beneficial, if Ukraine would continue fighting, as it delays the inevitable #Russia 's invasion on the Baltic states and other countries.

Europe must #unite. Now it's the right time. #EuropeanArmy now! #ViveLaEurope! 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

Great topic running in our feed: European board games! 🎲

Do you know the difference between American-style games and Eurogames?

"Unlike their American counterparts, which often emphasize direct conflict and chance, Eurogames prioritize careful planning, multiple paths to victory, and meaningful player choices that ripple throughout each session."

Check out this interesting article that explains some of the differences:

Do you own an Eurogame? Which one's your favourite?

Our favorites are Ticket to Ride 🇬🇧 , Catan 🇩🇪 and Carcassone 🇩🇪 !

Do you need an #European e-reader and tablet?

The reMarkable 🇳🇴 is a very serious European alternative created by a Norwegian startup.

⚠️ To avoid temptations, if you don't need one, don't visit their website or watch their videos, otherwise you may end up buying one, as we did. We love it but it's not cheap, as they only produce it in small quantities. ⚠️

The reMarkable is an E Ink writing tablet designed for reading documents and textbooks, sketching, and taking notes. It's designed to feel like writing on paper.

What we like the most:

- you can read #ebooks or documents in various formats, including pdf. It's like a Kindle. And you can make notes in your ebooks, for example.

- it REALLY feels like you're writing and sketching on paper. It's impressively well done ✏️

- there are many of different templates you can use and download on the internet 📃

- you can write notes by hand and convert them into digital text. It can even translate your handwritten text into another language 💬

- you can also automatically save your files in the cloud and in your computer. 💻 ☁️

If you're interested, you can find more information on their website, which is full of useful tips.

Do you have any too? We'd love to know what you think! 😊

The European search engines (and competitors) Ecosia 🇩🇪 and Qwant 🇫🇷 are joining forces to build their own European search index!

And the best part? It'll be open and available to all of us!

This is great news for other small search engines, start-ups and the AI industry, as they'll now have the chance to use this index instead of the ones offered by Microsoft and Google.

I've seen several articles lately that lists #european and/or free, #opensource and #privacy respecting alternatives to american commercial services and software, like mail, SoMe, cloud storage etc. But what are some recommendations for hardware, like laptops/computers and phones, including their OS? #Linux ? But on what hardware? And what about phones? I'm particularly interested in stuff that would be possible to use for moderately- or non-technical people. @ueeu

... #Rejoin the #European economic block. #Brexit, a project by international rightwing organizations, was an utter failure. To withstand a sandwiched position by/a an imperialist, expansionist #Kremlin and a likeminded #Washington (#Panama, #Canada, #Greenland,) a renewal of the "ever closer union" is of the essence.

#EU processes take far too long in this rapidly changing,...
