No it doesn't. If Google stops supporting it, the community forks it and continues development. Has happened often in the past.
European alternatives to Google's Gmail
What European email services do you use?
Please recommend other interesting email services by your experience.
I have switched from Google's Gmail to ProtonMail and kMail. I really like both, kMail (by Infomaniak) have very similar app interface to Gmail so you will get used to it very fast and also have big storage for free and very good offers for paid plans 👍🏼

Don´t buy 3M from the USA, Gerband/Tesa is from Germany

Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

It's quite counterintuitive but most stuff is not an asset but rather a liability. You have to maintain, clean, store it. Messiness comes from having too much stuff. It's almost impossible if you only have things that are really meaningful for you.
This is also the way to a more meaningful and fulfilling life!
That's why I'm a big proponent of the Anticonsumption and Minimalism Movement. :)
Yes we have to keep it inclusive. However, it's still not bad that we encourage people to buy as locally as possible.
Isn't that exactly the way Bluesky/ATprotocol works? You can store your account/data wherever your want (PDS) and the Relays/Firehorses are responsible to aggregate posts.
I also like ActivityPub more but Bluesky is definitely easier to use.

I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.
In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.
If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:
- Buy as local for your city, region you can get (support small companies, mom & pop shops, farmers etc)
- Buy generally Bulgarian stuff to support your own economy
- Buy EU stuff to support EU economy
- Buy Canada or any other ally nation stuff to support good relationship
- Buy from USA, China etc (arguably buy Chinese before american)
- Buy Russian products
Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

This is why you go European even if the company is open-source
The encrypted messaging app Signal has stopped responding to requests from Ukrainian law enforcement regarding Russian cyberthreats, a Ukrainian official claimed, warning that the shift is aiding Moscow’s intelligence efforts.

For me they are even better than Google. But I use Qwant now.
German ntv covers the buy european movement
Seit Trump Strafzölle verhängt, wird Konsum politisch. Die Bewegung "Buy from EU" fordert Europäer auf, heimische Produkte zu bevorzugen. Wirtschaftlich dürften die Auswirkungen solcher Aufrufe gering sein. Doch den Initiatoren geht es um etwas anderes.

> I've been using their app for some time now and really like the concept: > Basically it allows restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets etc to announce when they have stuff leftover that they'd usually throw away at the end of the day. You can browse those nearby shops in the app and reserve a "surprise bag" for a small amount, usually around a third of the regular price, but it varies. In the pickup timeframe (usally around 30-60min before their closing time) you go there, show that you've reserved the bag in your app, confirm that you've received it and happily walk home with a ton of surprise food for super cheap. > > After using it for a while I can especially recommend looking for food stalls at farmers markets as they often have lots of stuff leftover that they don't want to take back home when packing up so they're often super generous. Bakeries are also great, I regularly get a week's supply of bread, buns, pastries and cake for like 3-5€. > > EDIT: While it's made in Denmark the app works globally or at least all of EuropeAFAIK, definitely works fine with lots of participating shops in Germany.
The cool thing on bluesky is that you can create your own algorithms through custom feeds. Also to my knowledge the following feed is purely chronological.
It's surely not as decentralized and free as Mastodon but it's heck of a lot better than the centralized platforms.
