Just in time for 10 years of Tuta/Tutanota, we are launching the most significant security upgrade of Tuta Mail with TutaCrypt. This groundbreaking post-quantum encryption protocol will secure emails with a hybrid protocol combining state-of-the-art quantum-safe algorithms with traditional algorithms (AES/ECC) making Tuta Mail the world's first email provider that can protect emails from quantum computer attacks.

Now that we all dont buy american products anymore and dont use their programs and services, i want to do something more, but i dont have any ideas. Please write some! :)

I thought i would put my old things which stood around for months, on websites similar to Ebay. I also thought about recycling them, but to that would be a waste since they still have a worth.

They are busy at the brewery Vestfyen in Assens. They have seen a large increase in demand for Jolly Cola.

And in fact, the demand is so great that the brewery has never tried the like.

  • We get more demand for Jolly than we have ever received, says the brewery's brand manager, Thomas Lindegaard, when TV 2 Fyn meets him in Assens.

What's creating the rising sales for Jolly Cola he can't be sure, but he has an idea.

Trump turmoil paves the way

Thomas Lindegaard points out that the turmoil around the United States plays a role.

"There are some geopolitical tensions that give us some tailwind," he said.

He clearly senses that Danes are demanding Jolly at this time. But fortunately, the brewery is ready to tackle the growing demand.

  • If it is Jolly Cola consumers demand, then we are ready, says Thomas Lindegaard.

That more Danes boycott American products is a trend, explains consumer behavior expert Mikkel Nรธjgaard.

However, one should be aware that it can have consequences for Danish jobs if you avoid American goods.

โ€œMany of the U.S. companies are not just American. For example, it is Royal Unibrew that produces Pepsi in Denmark. If you boycott Pepsi, it will affect Danish jobs, he says.

  • I definitely like Jolly Cola best

The enthusiasm for the Danish Coke was also to be traced by the Funen residents when we met them in the pedestrian streets of Odense.

  • For me it would not be an option to choose the Jolly Cola, because I think it tastes best, says Rasmus Hansen, when TV 2 Fyn meets him in the pedestrian street.

He, along with other Funen residents, was allowed to blindly taste Jolly Cola and Coca-Cola, because can one even taste the difference?

You can see it in the video below.

So since the movement started i am slowly turning my back on everything made in USA. Ofcourse tech is the hardest one. Stijl on android but making steps. Canceled all subcriptions, no sociale media, no google services, etc. The one thing i noticed, ram / memory / cpu / battery usage is way down. Juist shows what all was going on in the background.

Framasoft is a French non-profit association that exists since 2004. They propose a lot of services for free with the objective of digital empowerment.
They have an action called "De-google-ify" the web and host a ton of open-source alternative to the main google services.

I really encourage you all to go and give a look at all their actions, donate or contribute to Framasoft, they are doing a lot of work making the internet a better place :)

Itโ€™s a free website from the Bundeszentrale for Politische Bildung (German Federal Government), which aggregates articles from different European Newspapers, presented through headlines and topics. Good way to keep up and get a balanced news diet.
