If the federal government has its way, programs that provide housing subsidies to low-income people will soon be cut,
and current recipients will have to comply with work rules and time limits on residency.
Those who receive Section 8 subsidies are now facing draconian budget-slashing that will put millions in danger of losing their homes.
These plans have long been on the right’s anti-poor wish list.
In fact, when the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 agenda was rele…

Thomas voegtlin talks about nostr spam. It's very censorship resistance means spam can't be stopped by moderators.
One way to stop spam is require proof of work before your client accepts a message. A large difficult hash.
But big hashing machines are more available to spammers than people.
Can't use likes or zaps cuz they can be faked with sybil attacks.
Instead: notaries and proveably burned satoshis.
Your public messages are classified as ham rather than spam if you burn enough money.
Nostr event types to prove it are suggested. Including burning to upvote others messages
Don't think I like deliberately burning the money, and seems to me a web of trust might work without doing that? Pay to post also peanizes there poor.
But it isn't really burned here, it's shaed out to miners to continue a subsidy when the block rewards run out. So paying miners and these notaries rather than really burning. Okay. Maybe better, but still makes messages mostly for the rich?

We just did some small errands after work - by bycicle. Even though it's getting colder. We have nice jackets and gloves.
The main reason was to just get some physical activity after a full day at the desk. Just getting out, moving the legs, getting fresh air...
Co2 emissions etc is nice but secondary. It just feels good to have some physical expercise.

For some reason, the #FamilyHousingPlan in the new RTO-C zoning, doesn't appear to permit the sort of live work spaces discussed here.

Do you feel that you are too dependent on Big Tech and overwhelmed by the number of services you use?
Are you afraid of the amount of work it takes to get out? - I totally feel you!
But the best is to just start. Start with one service at a time.
Don't overthink it too much.
Don't stress yourself.
Just do the first step. And do the second when you're ready.

The Trump administration is upending its homelessness policy,
with deep cuts to funding for long-term housing.
Instead, it will shift money toward transitional housing that requires work and addiction treatment.
170,000 people could be at risk of losing their housing
Critics warn the major overhaul could put 170,000 people at risk of losing their housing again.
And they say the timing is terrible.
Normally, funding notices go out months earlier, but now pro…
