Japan and France agreed to strengthen support for rare earths supply chains on Wednesday, Japan’s public broadcaster NHK reported, in the latest moves by both countries to lessen dependence on the world’s dominant supplier, China.

During French President Emmanuel Macron’s three-day visit to Japan for talks with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, officials signed a roadmap to cooperate on critical minerals supply chains, NHK said.

“We cannot rely solely on specific countries, especially China,” French Finance Minister Roland Lescure was quoted as saying by NHK.

The two sides also agreed to secure raw material supplies for a rare earths refining project in southern France, called Caremag, the broadcaster said.

As required by rules I clearly state that I'm affiliated with the site. It's a new project: Concept-proof site about advertising with European tools that is run and promote with European tools only. It's very fresh and right now it's only available in Polish, but I hope we will get there with enough support.

Linked article is specifically why it's not only immoral but also dangerous to rally on US advertising tools.

If it's not suitable, or nor useful feel free to nuke this post. I hope it's ok.

From Vienna to Beijing, there is a sense of unease: Chinese giant JD.com’s investment in MediaMarkt’s parent company, Ceconomy, is facing unexpected resistance…

It's the big one, folks! This is going to be a pretty big challenge in the supermarket, avoiding so many staple brands. Neat!

Hey! I am looking for EU made meal replacement powders/shakes. Anything food related (especially in powder form) is full of snake oil and it is hard to find any reliable sources for recommendations.

I know it might be a stretch, but could anyone suggest some brands that they have tried and liked?

I am mainly looking for the ease of preparing it, so the taste isn't that important for me.

Apple removed 190 apps from its Russian App Store at the request of Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor between 2022 and 2024, the company’s own annual transparency reports for those three years show.

Though the number of apps removed from the Russian App Store has risen every year, that number rose hugely in 2024, when the Russian authorities began cracking down far more aggressively on online freedoms than it previously had done.

After removing just seven apps in 2022, and 12 in 2023, Apple deleted 171 apps in 2024, meaning that Russia ranked second only to China by the number of apps removed at the request of the authorities.

In the vast majority of cases — 182 out of 190 — Roskomnadzor invoked the same piece of Russian legislation setting out the grounds for blocking websites in its requests to the US tech giant. These range from the dissemination of materials by “undesirable organisations” to incitement to terrorism. A further seven apps were removed for breaching Russian financial laws, specifically to combat illegal securities trading, online fraudsters and the theft of personal data.

As an addition, it is noteworthy that Apple is (in-)famous to bow to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party. For example, one report reads, Apple’s censorship in China is just the tip of the iceberg after the Chinese government ordered Apple to remove several widely used messaging apps—WhatsApp, Threads, Signal, and Telegram—from its app store.

According to reports from 2020, Apple purges nearly 30,000 apps from Chinese App Store.

Hey, this suggestion is for the sub's moderators. As you know, many European services require paid subscriptions, and it turns out many of us can't afford to pay for all of them every month or year. My suggestion is that the sub's moderators set aside one day a month to highlight service subscriptions that are on sale; this would help the community A LOT in several ways. Upvote if you agree and share your thoughts in the comments, thanks for your attention (:
