Earlier this week, the fourth most downloaded app in Denmark was "UdenUSA" (Danish for "Without USA") — an app for scanning your groceries to make sure they are from the US.

Is that what Trump means when he calls the US "the hottest country"? And was this what Tim Cook was hoping for when he began supporting The Mad King?

The app is currently ranked number 16 in the Utilities category.

The app UdenUSA shown on the iOS app store, where to English speakers it is called NonUSA.

With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.

Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?

“At this historical moment, I’d value the fact that Mastodon is made in the #europeanunion. I’m a new user myself who joined as part of a Trump-led US boycott campaign, so I was looking for a #EU-made alternative—Mastodon seemed like the most structured one anyway.

@hgbruenker Auch von mir #Lob , aber was mir besonders jetzt fehlt ist ein offensiver Umgang mit den Thema #use #unitedstatesofeurope . Warum sehe ich nicht in Zeiten wo ein Menschenfeind im Osten und ein Menschenfeind im Westen uns bedroht eine große mediale Kampagne von Volt? Ist nicht gerade jetzt die Chance die Plan-europäische Idee in die Mitte der Gesellschaft zu tragen? Oder zumindest eine #buyeuropean Kampagne?

Does anyone have experience with Veja sneakers? 👟

I’ve been wearing New Balance 574s forever, but between the drop in quality and the fact that it’s an American brand, their days in my personal uniform are numbered. I’m considering switching to Veja—feel free to suggest other European brands worth considering as well.

En plus de répliquer politiquement par des mesures de rétorsion qui ne feront que continuer l'escalade avec les États-Unis, tous les citoyens européens ont un pouvoir de réponse au chantage du gros bonhomme orange : il suffit de s'émanciper des produits physiques et numériques américains.

@bryan thank you Bryan. The backup size issue isn't about costs... I have zero extra expenses. It's just that I would like to keep backup sizes relatively small in case I need to do a restore.

AWS, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud and Cloudflare are all American companies... I want to keep my tech stack European.

I'm very very happy with Hetzner, Hostinger, BunnyCDN and Varnish Cache 🤗

I finally finished this weekend project of mine: https://ibuyfrom.eu
It is a simple tool to set a circle text on a profile picture (see mine for example). It is meant to help people show their support to the "Buy From EU" movement.
I'm happy to read critics on the usability and intuitiveness or anything else :)

When I grew up in the 1980s, I recall my dad having conversations with business relations. Some of them did not want to do business with the Germans because of the invasion of Denmark 40 years earlier.

If Americans vote for democracy in 2026, I hope the world will keep loving the American people, and believe Trump never represented the Americans.

If Trump is not stopped in 2026, I think the world will fundamentally change the view of the American people.

For decades.

@randahl Money talks, as USians often say.

We can all do our bit - cancel any US-based or US-owned subscriptions and find alternatives.

There are 500m people in Europe - that’s a lot of monthly subscriptions if you subscribe to any of the following, all of which have alternatives:

Apple Books
Apple Music
Apple apps
Tidal
Gmail (you’re the product, they harvest your data)
Google Search
Google apps
