Does anyone know of an overview of European hardware brands that focus on sustainability & openness?

For some months now, I've been enjoying headphones 🎧 from 🇳🇱 https://repeat.audio. My daughter recently got a calculator 🔢 from 🇫🇷 https://numworks.com. A colleague bought a mobile📱from 🇳🇱 https://fairphone.com and another a laptop 💻 from 🇩🇪 https://www.tuxedocomputers.com ( @tuxedocomputers). Considering to buy the latter two as well.

These are all #European and substantially #sustainable & #open!

As an artist I'd like to know, if this @EUCommission announcement means that you're considering to implement the #UBI model (for artist) from #Ireland, or not?

Since you didn't drop the #artists name and source of the #vector #illustration, may I ask if there was a #European human being involved in this creation? It's not just #aiSlob, isn't it?

Good morning @pluralistic . I'm not sure if you are presantly and actively still involved with the #EU efforts of the @eff , but since we're at defcon 3 and dropping fast over here on the #european continent, I thought I'd ask. Do you know if they are already engaged working with the @EC_DIGIT to help guide them away from making this horrible mistake before it is too late (see link from @noybeu at end of post)? Is there anything "we" can do to help or efforts to coordinate. In your interviews, podcasts, and writings you regularly mention the #gdpr and #dma as the only real consumer protections left in the world, and the only thing slowing down the, now seemingly inevitable, ameri- #enshittification of EU. Would you be willing to bring mainstream and public awareness to this development in your future talks/interviews regarding #enshittification?

Please interpret the attached image along with all included subtext you can think of to be a deliberate choice in portraying the precarity of our current situation, and the forces we may be facing.
