Calls grow louder for Europe to deploy its ‘Big Bazooka’ in tariff negotiations in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] ThisIsDys@europe.pub 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know how we've been getting record corporate taxes year after year (to say nothing of our income taxes on the higher salaries tech companies pay thousands of Irish employees), and yet:

  • Infrastructure remains shit and underdeveloped
  • Inequality of development, amenities, and pay between Dublin and everywhere else gets worse every year.
  • We've failed to build a solid bedrock of homegrown companies to replace the fragile reliance on MNC employment and corporate taxes.
  • Pension age bomb is still ticking

I maintain that low corporate taxes are, unfortunately, crucial for underdeveloped nations to have any hope of investment coming to their shores. It sucks, but it massively contributed to Ireland crawling out of desperate poverty. And we never did anything sustainable with that good fortune, to say nothing of being too scared of them leaving to not reset the tax rate to something fairer now that we have other benefits for MNCs beyond low taxes (eg: we're one of the most well educated countries in the world now). If US giants leave Ireland, there's gonna be a shitton of unemployed people and we don't have anywhere internally for them to take their expertise.

Edit: None of this, BTW, says the EU shouldn't smack them hard as a counter. Out government has fucked us with decades of "ah sure it'll be grand". No reason the whole EU should be held back just for us.

The EU will be held back in this because those same corps have immense political weight more than anything tbh.

Trump Sends DOJ After Dems’ Money Machine in c/politics@lemmy.world

Y'know, I'm surprised it took him this long to start directly targeting the Dems with his BS. Step one of removing any opposition: starve them out.

I shudder to think what damage he can do in the 3 and a half years remaining in his term. :/

I do love the sound of billion dollar MNCs crying that the law applies to them.

PSA: FREENOW has just been acquired by Lyft in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] ThisIsDys@europe.pub 6 points 1 year ago

I had already gotten rid of my account because they were exploiting local taxi drivers pretty horribly in a similar way to delivery apps vs local restaurants.

But now I might be able to convince friends to delete their accounts.

Alternative Solar Generators (europe.pub)
 

So I've been looking to get a good generator to cover for power outages, and Ecoflow has a number of affordable, personal, solar-charged generators. But, alas, they're American.

Does anyone know of any EU companies that build similar devices to Ecoflow's?

Hungary's government launches war on drugs, but ignores root causes in c/europe@feddit.org

Yeah, because fighting a war on drugs has worked so well for every other country that's tried it.

Dutch-made Productivity App - Gribly in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] ThisIsDys@europe.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's what I thought they worked as. I used to host my files for on my own cloud drive and that had no issues. They do have one off 'support payments' you could get if you wanna support them but not get a subscription.

Is Obsidian not free? I haven't used it for a while, but I don't remember paying for it at any point. <_<

Apple, Mac OS, Windows, and Web. Android is coming, but I don't see any timeline anywhere about how long it'll take. I have it working on my phone by turning the web version into a shortcut on my home screen, which is working fine, but a dedicated app would be much appreciated.

Yeah, it's a shame. I have the website set up as a shortcut on my homescreen which works just fine, but it'd be easier if they had a proper Android app.

Dutch-made Productivity App - Gribly (griply.app)
 

cross-posted from: https://europe.pub/post/160774

As per one of the creators over on Reddit:

"I’m Amber, one of the founders of Griply: a goal-setting app proudly built in the Netherlands by a small self-funded team of four.

We created Griply out of frustration with how scattered personal development tools were. One app for goals, another for tasks, another for habits… it just didn’t make sense. So we built one app that brings it all together.

A lot of our users have switched from their “regular” task manager because they wanted something more goal focused - not just for ticking off tasks - but for making real progress on what matters to them.

With Griply, you can:

  • Set life goals and break them down into subgoals, habits & tasks -Make goals measurable with goal metrics (money, distance, weight, etc.) -Track your progress visually with charts -Organize by life area, priority, or type -Manage your daily tasks like any other task manager -Add widgets for your goals, habits, and tasks to your home screen -Use it across iOS, Mac, Windows & Web

We’re building this with a lot of passion. If you’re into productivity, self-improvement, or just love trying out European-made tools, we’d love for you to check it out. Any feedback is welcome."

An Android app is coming soon, and is in development. There's a signup on their website if you want to be notified when it's released.
