I always thought that organic maps was like magic earth. Where things are clearly laid out from the get go, hence why they were favorites among google maps quitters... Apparently not, and with the donation influx the Trump regime probably brought, it's war for the cash...

I do expect more FOSS based LLC's to get into this kind of drama soon and it's quite sad. The golden lining, I guess, is that projects are finally getting funding, interest from the general public, private firms etc...

They have all kind of trades that allows them to move around : the ever present food trucks or amusements machines for fairs, the traditional chair seating and cushioning repairs (it costs a lot, and their unique abilities and traditions is sought for antiques).

They also do all kinds of odd jobs on the cheap. Redoing the whole masonry isn't something you would ask someone who isn't seriously settled but simply refreshing a paint job? Cleaning up a roof, a driveway? Trimming a few tall trees? Sure.

Are they clean about taxes? Probably not.

Are they all drug smugglers and thieves? I don't think more than the general population, really. Crimes tend to get higher when they are around but which part is them doing it and which part is people using the presence of a recurent scapegoat ?

Most gypsies do in continental western Europe, nice cars too. I can also tell you where they were heading is a very luxurious area where mansion owners are maybe a bit more equal than a farmer who wants to rent out his field.

Read, and already done all that.

I suggest you add another link: donate to projects you enjoy via Liberapay (or switch to helping projects and creators you enjoy through this rather than patreon/paypal).

There was once a VISA Europe branch that was separate from VISA .inc, it's not the case anymore since 2015 when VISA bought back ViSA Europe.

There are countries where debit cards are also compatible with a local system and in those countries, banks make the POS devices use that local system by default (for cost cuttings) if the card is compatible and only use Visa/MasterCard if the card is not compatible.

This is getting ridiculous beyond anything. I don't believe for a second this can really be applied, China being the real makers of every and any everyday object bought in the US. Even stuff proudly labelled "made in the USA" is often the assembly in the US of Chinese parts from the pencil or lighter to the refrigerator and the tin can containing corn. Those tariffs wouldn't last a week. Also, what I just said here is enough to make a few countries start dumping their US bonds if those tariffs last more than a few days.

also, depending on where you live, it could get quite hard to keep up with crossing the t's and doting the i's legally. some countries want you to keep erchives for x years, some want you to answer to police requests within a short time, others do not consider hijacking as an excuse for a nefarious use of the server of which you are responsible etc. I chose to host a server once, was 8 hours late on an update. got fucked but finaly got my case heard. I'm now using a lan only facing nextcloud server coupled with a VPN connection when I'm out and only use my domain for mail (outsourced the server though).

Yet it 100% is made to the bourbon minimal conditions. So it's Bourbon, deceptively (strong word here for the lulz) labeled as whiskey?

Who or what made you think WSL was meant for the masses? Enabling it is hidden deep in the settings. Just like things in windows not meant for the masses.

Had you searched, you would have seen what is recommended for the masses that want to give Linux a spin, Linux on a USB stick. You install it using apps that are on windows. Then reboot your computer and here goes your full Linux. Take out the USB, reboot, windows again.
