Lokjo is an online map where you can find local shops by using category searches, like clothing shops, dry cleaning, opticians, fast food etc.
The results show up on the map, all at once, except corporations and chains, they get a grey dot with no information, because they are not supported.
It comes in 5 languages, so before using amazon, give it a try in your area, you might like it. 😊
Shares are welcome, thanks.
This month, Google starts rolling out a new law, which disables every app which isn't registered on their playstore. On every device, worldwide.
Luckily, there's a whole list of European brands selling phones with a non-google android installed. 😊
Here's a list, including alternative OSes to install yourself.

Nice!
From tomorrow on, a new European law forbids big corporations to throw unused clothing in the trash (overproduction) and obligates them to put them in discount or donation.
This makes you think of course 'why the heck was that legal in the first place?!' and the answer to that is -as always- 'lobbying'.
The EU is a strong place, and I just love what they come up with.
Awesomesauce!

Time to get the european economy back to fair & independent.
Give it a share if you like. 😊
Bit by bit a huge shift is happening in europe, even in highly americanised countries (holland, germany) and it's amazing to see.
Countries forbidding US social media for children, universities switching from the big 5 to open source, forums popping up with EU substitutes, governments creating their own EU clouds and much much more.
People actually start to change their behavior.
I hope a lobbying-ban follows soon.
This is so good. 😊
