The same thing can - and has - happened in England.

I run a FairPhone 3+ with /e/ OS and MicroG. CurvePay (https://www.curve.com/) runs perfectly and supports tap and pay.

With this news, now would be the perfect time to start the discussion of converting one of the 2 train tunnels into a road for EV’s and electric lorries. Tailpipe exhaust is THE reason why cars today must be loaded into a train for the trip . . . EV’s make that unnecessary.

If they are not going to invest . . . lets re-purpose part of it.

I uninstalled it. Nice idea . . and I’m sure someday a FOSS voice assistant will exist. Today is not that day.

All the hardware in my life is Linux or FreeBSD . . . with one embarrassing exception. For years I’ve kept an Acer laptop on Win10 for a single task - running a windows application to update the firmware on a Garmin satellite SMS device (we do long distance hiking well off grid in Scotland). Micro$oft’s ongoing bullshit shamed me into finally sorting out even that one edge use case. After several hours of playing . . I was able to overwrite Win10 with . . . ReactOS!

If you’ve never heard of it . . and most people in the FOSS community never have . . it’s an attempt at reverse engineering Windows NT, using a combination of WINE plus a written from scratch open source Windows like kernel. It will never be “done” and it’s FAR from ready to be anyone’s daily driver . . but still a fun project to follow.

And yes, after hours more of tweaking, I was able to get the Garmin app to update on React!
