WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer issued the following statement regarding the European Union's announced retaliatory tariffs on the United States.

"For years, the European Union has opposed the United States' efforts to reindustrialize. The EU has rejected attempts under successive U.S. administrations to cooperate effectively on dealing with global excess capacity on steel, aluminum, and other sectors, employing measures that are too little and too late.

If the EU acted as quickly to address global excess capacity as it does to punish the United States, we likely would be in a different situation today. The EU’s punitive action completely disregards the national security imperatives of the United States – and indeed international security – and is yet another indicator that the EU’s trade and economic policies are out of step with reality."

Hey Europe!

We’ve launched a small initiative called european-startups.eu to bring together all European startups, brands, products, and initiatives in one place. We are a group of people working in different areas within the IT space, but all with a shared goal: to make European startups more visible.

While there are platforms like ProductHunt and other websites showcasing EU products and alternatives, we wanted to combine the best of both.

We've introduced a voting system where you can upvote projects you like. Each week, the featured projects will change, and the winners will be highlighted on our website. A newsletter will also be sent to subscribers with updates. No sponsorships, no shady practices. The only option we may consider is adding sponsors to a separate page or to the footer with a very minimal logo.

Additionally, we’re running our own AI locally, connected to DNB & VIES, to gather EU companies into one easy-to-navigate list.

We already got featured in some areas, so I hope our server is powerful enough to handle the traffic. We still have a lot to do.

PS Fun fact: we used 16-core 32gb from Hetzner to run all these fancy stuff. 😄

I'm looking for an Adobe Acrobat alternative, or PDF-editor, that is capable of:

• marking text;
• adding text;
• adding comments (like one would do in MS Word);
• adding a signature (in some way);
• preferably, but not necessary: the ability to recognise text in files where the text is not selectable (i.e. one can copy text from an image file that was saved as a PDF, like some printers do when scanning pages).

Does anyone happen to know of any European or Open Source alternative that fit this description? I have sworn to never again install any Adobe software.

Update

After reading the privacy notice (which IS only available after Installation), it seems they are using Gemini AI for identifikation, so Take the results with a grain of Salt. Could have been better utilizing Mistral or a Database Like FDDB directly.

Small list to start

Hi all,

I have my professional math webpage set up on Google Sites (i.e., I used the editor there, and it is hosted on their servers). Now I would like to change this. So could you recommend any similar services? That is, a service that will allow me to design the webpage (preferably free, but some small fee is also ok - I don't need fireworks there, just good-looking personal webpage) and host it?

I'm trying Lunatask. It's a one-man project, and the author is from the Czech Republic. The software looks interesting, complete, and visually appealing. It also stands out from a privacy perspective, offering end-to-end encryption.

The plan tiers are little pricey so it would be best suited for a business.

I had everything in my Dropbox: all my legal documents, my work-related files, my photos from the last 20 years, and things people sent me that I want to look at again when I'm 80… I literally had my life stored in it (and of course locally on two machines and a extra backup disk). I also accessed it almost daily via my phone and uploaded files from my phone.

So, I tested several services in the range of ~100 Euros a year with at least 1,5 Terabytes:

Jottacloud:

• Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
• Very good iOS App
• Good service
• Pricey (144 Euros for unlimited storage)
• Downside for me: it doesn't automatically convert photo uploads from my phone to JPG and doesn't store them in a folder I choose – plus, the price is high.

Filen:

• Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
• Rough iOS App
• Good service
• Okay price (108 Euros for 2TB)
• Downside for me: the rough iOS App didn't have a document upload with a scan function.

Nextcloud:

• Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
• Good iOS App
• No dedicated service; it's Open Source, so some tinkering is required since you manage the hosting yourself.
• Weird price range (Hetzner, the cheapest host by far, offers either 60 Euros for 1TB or 200 Euros for 5TB, nothing in between).
• Downside for me: the price range.

kDrive:

• Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
• Very good iOS App
• Amazing service, document editing included, etc.
• Amazing price (60 Euros per year for 3TB)
• Downside for me: none.

So, I chose kDrive, even though I'd love to use Nextcloud because it's Open Source and you can choose your own host. If I needed less than 1TB, I'd definitely choose Nextcloud.

And it should be said that all the services I tested offer free options with a few Gigabytes, if that's all you need.
