"the European Payments Initiative (EPI) and the EuroPA Alliance signed a landmark agreement to build a pan-European interoperable payment network covering 130 million users across 13 countries. The system, built around the digital wallet Wero, aims to let Europeans pay and transfer money across borders without touching a single American network."
If Toyota pulls this off, it means EVs with 620 mile range with batteries that can be charged in 10 minutes in either 2027 or 2028. That's going to basically mean checkmate for all the competition unless they are equally innovative.

@zverik thanks for sharing. Will try to do some ohome mapping that way too.
I stopped contributing to Mapillary once it was sold to Facebook, and have since started using panoramax instead (good to have servers and clients that are Free Software). I hope that gets better integration into people's editing workflow as well.
@rakoo you misunderstand my point. I'm not expecting an email client, but I am expecting distributed or self-hosted decentralization which the FAQ does not cover sufficiently.
@mntmn for the first issue, https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.robin.flip_2_dnd might be a work-around
Just installed @delta and was under the impression that it was email based. I expected to have to put in some email credentials and use my local email server. But instead it created a disconnected profile and just uses IMAP as a transport?
https://delta.chat/en/help does not make clear how this actually works.
Decentralised is a great buzz word, but without better description of how it works makes it difficult to trust.
https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits doesn't mention architecture, just encryption.
This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight. https://michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-feedback-loop

made a quick interactive map of building heights in toronto (2025 data)
big fan of tippecanoe->pmtiles->maplibre->github pages workflow, can pretty easily take a ~300mb .shp like this and render it all in-browser (no fancy db, server, or saas hosting)
