"Getting ready to operate @Taler@fosstodon.org in Germany" "Today we can share that Taler Operations AG is being founded in Bochum. The new German company is going to operate Taler in Euro, enabling payments with Taler first in Germany, then in the Euro-zone. The next steps towards that goal are to apply to BaFin, Germany's financial supervisory authority, for a licence as an e-money issuer. " "Getting an e-money licence takes capital. The law sets minimum own funds for EMIs, and BaFin also expects a credible business plan, staffing, compliance and IT security before granting authorisation. Taler Operations AG is therefore raising capital now. " https://www.taler.net/en/news/2026-13.html #gnutaler #taler #freesoftware

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay i wonder, has anybody ever asked #NetBSD to reconsider the "core can approve slop" clause, or to publish some info on whether core has approved #slop so far? sounds quite cool though! I'm still hoping somebody might fork an older #Linux #kernel - might be hard to keep that going but it would send a sign. #LLM #NoSlop #ensloppification #AI #NoAI #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AnnaAnthro/117459574875490319 It seems that a lot of political activists don't understand the importance of free software, and think the Epstein class platforms are just some kind of neutral commons that can be used for anything. Meanwhile, a lot of free software advocates don't understand the importance of politics, and think it is just pointless virtue-signaling. We have a lot to learn from each other. #Instagram #NoKings #FreeSoftware #Protests
