A recently leaked DHS memo told immigration agents they have the authority to break into people's homes to conduct immigration operations,
The memo ignores parts of DHS training materials related to the Fourth Amendment,
according to David Kligerman,
the senior vice president and special counsel of Whistleblower Aid.
Kligerman discussed the memo with Adam Klasfeld on the "Legal AF" podcast on Sunday.
He said the "dangerous"
memo …

At Falls Creek in the Victorian Alps, a backyard ultra is under way. 129 runners set off at 6pm last night as the temperature dropped to 5C and fog closed in. The rules: complete a lap of the course, 6.71km with 200m of climbing every hour. Stop when you can’t do another lap. #trailrunning #ultrarunning

Just had a visit from Fellesforbundet at the workplace. To be honest, we get a lot of visits from Fellesforbundet since they are located in a building right across the street from my well-adapted industrial company.
Fellesforbundet is a reformist, bureaucratic union affiliated with the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO). It is not syndicalist and operates with a hierarchical structure, including elected leadership and regional divisions.
The union primarily negotiates…

Not sure what the difference between a panel and a"fireside chat" is. There is no fire.
But here's a fireside chat on what nostr is.
Nostr is freedom for Identity. Accounts without hosts. Publishing without publidhers. Censorship resistance without platforms deciding who gets to say what.
It's not a silo in which you can be tapped as the service enshitifies, since it's a protocol with accounts you control, you can't switch clients or relays without loosing social graph or contacts.
Nostr is notes and Other Stuff, what other stuff? the panel is working on an audiobook publishing system with perhaps a required payment and affiliate revenue share. E-commerce, video publishing, zap stream for live video with zap payments.
Onboarding can be tricky with private key management needing to be understood and such a range of options of clients and what relays are. Can we make it easier?
Perhaps by abstracting away the fact it's nostr at all. Devine users don't even know they are using nostr. But this robs users of the understanding they may need to move clients or use the same account for video and notes, say.
Perhaps by making a private messagnger, the panel thinks people are used to using multiple messenger apps. Though I find they hate that, and that's why they refuse to install signal. They feel they don't need it since they already have WhatsApp with a bigger network.
In the end it's education. We have to teach literacy so people can read and write, we have to teach public keys encryption so people can do so securely.

Good Morning #Canada
Yesterday my wife and I had to pay for a small renovation which necessitated some budget shuffling. Needless to say we didn't make the list of the Richest Canadians. The McLeans and Canadian Business 2025 ranking saw lots of new names, which is surprising because $4.8B only earns you a spot at #40. Tech, primarily AI and data centre related, and cryptocurrency pushed some fortunes upwards, while the usual group of staid family wealth looked on with disdain. The saying "the rich gets richer" holds true as the combined net worth of the 10 wealthiest people on the list is $310 billion, a nearly 20% increase over 2024. It's difficult to read the individual summaries and not be disappointed at the level of wealth disparity with the bottom 50% of Canadians. IMO Governments avoid higher taxes on the wealthy because they believe Capitalism drives the economy, not the people who work for capitalists.
