thefabiI've mapped the beautiful Spanish island of #Formentera on #OpenStreetMap. It was an exciting challenge to record street names, addresses, rural addresses, POIs, landcover and more. Formentera covers an area of approximately 83 km² (32 mi²).
Here's a #BeforeAndAfter impression:
Mullvad VPNMass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.

KDEA quick anti-FUD FAQ to debunk "the KDE is forcing systemd!" hoax—a thread 🧵
Q: Does the Plasma Login Manager require systemd to work?
A: Yes.
Q: So you ARE forcing Plasma users to use systemd!!?!?!
A: No. The Plasma Login Manager is one of probably half a dozen Login Managers (or more) that can boot Plasma. We made PLM because it will give distro creators a cool piece of kit that can (not "must", not "should": *can*) be tacked onto a system to boot into Plasma.

Q: And it will continue to work on non-Linux systems like FreeBSD?
A: Also correct.
Q: Why have I been hearing that KDE will force systemd down everybody's throats via Plasma then?
A: There are sad people who will do anything for attention and clicks, will spread FUD and fake controversies to obtain them, including decontextualising comments on merge requests, stating as facts and official communications what are personal opinions, and finally straight up lying.
Don't believe the FUD.

Cake WalletSelf-custody is a non-negotiable at Cake Wallet. That’s why, in 2024, we did something painful: we hit pause on our Lightning integration.
We saw too many wallets "solving" Lightning by forcing users into custodial shortcuts. We tried the best-known decentralized alternatives at the time, but the user experience just wasn't there.
We chose to wait for the right tech rather than ship a bad experience.
That tech is Spark. ⚡️
By leveraging Spark and the new Breez SDK, we’ve closed the gap.
