Or "PDA" phones which came before.

Stellantis is mostly European, it's FIAT and Peugot with their other brands. I'm fairly certain they get enough subsidies and tax breaks. That this Italian/American/French company is registered in the Netherlands shows that some tax-dodging is involved as well. I think it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

(Also, Volkswagen Group is the bigger European car manufacturer.)

Also, electric cars such as Polestar (Volvo's EV brand, also Chinese these days) look much better than Tesla's.

Nothing near the level of Adobe software for example.

Which was only published by them.

I bought the "closed" version, since I'm not a programmer myself and rely on community efforts. So unfortunately I can't provide you with an answer!

Edit: I don't think Infinitime is Linux based, but it is open source: https://infinitime.io/

I have the idea DDG (or Bing which powers it) is getting worse, if you search for items, you first get a load of webstores selling that item and a Wikipedia article might show up on page 2 at best.

Unfortunately Tencent also has fingers in "indie" pies. For example they own up to a third of Larian.

Another shout out for the PineTime here, which is open source.

Just a passer-by: why a chromebook? Is their hardware less reliant on proprietary software?

Yup, I have one of those. I'm not sure what the exact build year is, but I think it's from the mid-90s.

I got in 2006 or so from a thrift store and served me ever since.

Unfortunately startpage has been owned by an ad agency for some years now.

I wonder how many anti-Zionist Jewish groups get affected by things like these.

In a way Japan is both innovative and conservative when it comes to technology and business. There are still business practices going on there which have been phased out in "the west". If you look at the Japanese music industry for example it's both 21st century and stuck in the 1990s for some reason.

DHL zelf lijkt sowieso de slechtste optie bij mij in de buurt te zijn. De lokale afhaalpunten heb ik geen problemen mee.

And are there even industry standard equivalent programs available for graphic designers on Linux?

Most FOSS alternatives tend to be a significant step back for folks used to their closed source industry counterparts like for example Adobe. The available video editing software is either a step back or closed source (DaVinci Resolve).

It's probably the proverbial chicken-and-egg situation.
