It took almost 9.5 years to make 20,000 edits with OsmAnd for OpenStreetMap. Thanks to Quick Action it has recently become easier and faster. But since the introduction of Streetcomplete and especially Mapcomplete, I've been mapping a little less with OsmAnd lately. Let's see how long I need for the next 10,000.

Ville de Montréal has an ambitious EV charging station target of 11,000 by 2030 [READ: in LESS THAN 5 years]...

Seeing as it took Ville de Montréal more than 6 YEARS to install 3,000 EV charging stations, I'm not convinced.

We had our EV charging station installed in LESS than 1 month, so it's DOABLE, but I don't trust this city and its boroughs to get it done.

> As a payment system must comply with local laws in order to operate legally, GNU Taler must be designed to comply with these requirements. GNU Taler must provide an audit trail for investigators operating under the law. Furthermore, we consider levying of taxes as beneficial to society, and fair taxation requires income transparency. Thus, GNU Taler must enable authorities to track income.

okay

> Private. When you pay with Taler, your identity does not have to be revealed. Just like payments in cash, nobody else can track how you spent your electronic money. However, you obtain a legally valid proof of payment.

These two things are incompatible. So I don't know how they can claim to eliminate fraud but then allow anonymous payments?

You really think the EU or USA is going to allow GNU Taler payments when they're cracking down on cash and bank transactions because of KYC requirements?

Absolutely no way in hell this is going to be allowed in its current state. You'll have to pay the capital gains tax on everything you convert back to dollars in the USA, guaranteed.

Y'all we got these mofos running scared.

And Josh Fucking Hawley is the EXPERT on running scared. Look at him go! 😂 🏃🏼

The GoFundMe for Clara is up and live. Please share and donate if you're able. Every little bit helps her to get out of this situation. I'd like to see her out before Kitty's indicted or before the bank realizes they put a much earlier date on the eviction notice they sent her. gofund.me/d9d4d7be

Every Erasmus+ experience is a step closer to a more united Europe.

Erasmus+ has received the European Integration Award from the Cercle d’Economia.

This recognition marks over 35 years of building a more united and inclusive Europe through education, training, and youth exchange.

Thank you to the millions who have helped make Erasmus+ a symbol of cooperation and shared European values!

I'm trying to get back into longer form writing. Today I am advocating for a cross organizational effort to have a consistent donation framework.

I am not a contributor on Wikipedia yet, but if someone finds the time, Crimea has been removed from Ukraine's oblasts in the table here, which I find completely nuts.

Is the Kremlin actively trying to erase Ukrainian history one Wikipedia edit at a time?

UPDATE: This has now been fixed. Thank you!
