@cdarwin@c.imAll of this *just* happened in two totally separate cases,
so be careful with differing stories about where things stand:
- TRO granted in the Rhode Island case (Judge Jack McConnell), but no written order yet.
- Trump admin was given until Monday to act in the Mass. case (Judge Indira Talwani).

@paulbusch@mstdn.caI am supremely confident that some minister, who is totally not having a massage with a lobbyist or property developer, will always do what's right in order to protect the water supply for communities large and small. No need to be concerned that the sale of Stag & Doe tickets will somehow poison me or cause E.coli deaths. Absolutely trustworthy.

@cdarwin@c.imAfter the Online Safety Act’s onerous internet age restrictions took effect this summer,
it didn’t take long for Brits to get around them.
Some methods went viral, like using video game Death Stranding’s photo mode to bypass face scans.
But in the end, the simplest solution won out: --- VPNs.
Virtual private networks have proven remarkably effective at circumventing the UK’s age checks,
letting users spoof IP addresses from other countries so that the checks neve…

@cdarwin@c.im"The old world is dying,” Antonio Gramsci once wrote.
“And the new world struggles to be born.”
In such interregnums, the Italian Marxist philosopher suggested, “every act, even the smallest,
may acquire decisive weight”.
In 2025, western leaders appeared convinced they – and we – were living through one such transitional period, as the world of international relations established after the second world war crashed to a halt.
During such eras, Gramsci more f…

@geant@mstdn.social“Can you transfer €50,000 right now? And keep it quiet.” A message from the CEO like this can make anyone’s heart skip a beat.
This is one of the most common social engineering tactics out there: fake authority urgency fear. When the “CEO” is giving the order, it’s easy to act first and think later.
That’s why training #digitalmindfulness matters–pausing and grounding our…

@cdarwin@c.imThe House has voted on a bipartisan basis
to restore labor rights to 1 million federal workers
after Donald Trump yanked them away in an executive order earlier this year,
in a rare show of defiance against the president by over a dozen GOP members.
In a 231 to 195 vote on Thursday afternoon,
the House passed the "Protect America’s Workforce Act",
which would nullify Trump’s ordersin March and August to exempt workers at dozens of agencies from c…
@pre@boing.worldOf course it's not only the money which is broken.
The music industry is also very crappy. Major pop stars rake in billions while most artists starve. There's only three record companies left, acting as gate keepers determining which sings get the payola to get radio play and Spotify basically gave up paying small artists in order to give Joe Rogan hundreds of millions of dollars.
Terrible situation.
So can bitcoin and lightning fix this?
Thus the after party here in Manchester.
Musicians and rappers at the event embrace V4V, value for value. Busking on the internet. Payment links on screen and on the live stream as they play.
Ainsley Costello tells us that her first song on fountain.fm made her a million sats, way more than any Spotify stream could make even if they still paid small artists.
She played us that song and then a whole range of artists took to the stage, live streamed over nostr, with donations coming in from all over the world.
All of them were talented and entertaining, but in particular Green Sands were tight and energetic and rocking, Edwin Williamson was deep and baritone and country, Roger 9000 really pumped the crowd with his bitcoin based songs and great tiny digital guitar and The Crypto raptor gets a special mention.
It was a really fun party, with musicians who all believe there is a better way than the terrible music industry.
Fast change overs and short sets means there were like ten acts in four hours among a friendly crowd in a dirty dive bar who all shared this common cause.
Full act list, all of whom are with checking out.
