How ICE Turned Venezuelan Migrants Into Enemies of the State
The Trump Administration has ignored legal protocols and stoked fears about the gang Tren de Aragua while arresting asylum seekers in Aurora, Colorado, and across the U.S. Jonathan Blitzer reports.

Should we experiment some more with #runtimes and #protocols?
This is deliberately a very general question.
Drop your thoughts in replies, I'd love to exchange!

I don't get it. I am not a frequent #AI user but do not reject it completely for now. Just casually checking some AI comments in some AI project makes me shudder.

At an undetermined point in the future, the Commission intends to establish requirements that align uni- bidirectional charging capabilities with relevant grid codes and communication protocols, as is already required for charging infrastructure.

It's kinda a wild fact that there are these Internet Protocols that are used extremely widely, but knowledge how they work is scarce.
For reasons, I just wondered a few things about OCSP. That's part of TLS, and, idk, most people would probably attribute "knowledge of TLS" to me.
Yet... I kinda know what OCSP does, but... I don't really know how the protocol works.
And if I google for something like "easy explanation of OCSP", I don't find a…

TIL: Besides UTC, there also is TAI – Temps Atomics International aka International Atomic Time. And well … TAI currently is UTC 37s 🤯
For other interesting things about time, computer time and time protocols, I highly recommend the talk on PTP from last years #39C3:

still not sold on having to rely on new protocols (gemini) or very old protocols (gopher) instead of making a wiser use of the ones used at large (http). When the solution is to add more software I’m skeptical by default

Open vs. Closed: The Fight for a New Internet
The Story Behind — A federated internet is forming. It's built on open protocols like ActivityPub & connects services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Tumblr, Wordpress and more into a connected network known as the fediverse. And everyone from tech enthusiasts to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey seem to want in.

DeltaChat is a cool idea but should be cranked to the max. Fuck protocols, instant messaging has never been been about the protocol but the network effect.
Not everyone knows how to login to their email outside of the web browser, a chat client should facilitate speech between you and your friend’s favourite app.
These are all open protocols that allow for direct communication but garden off others: activitypub, email, irc, matrix, xmpp, bluesky, nostr, simplex, theema, tox, jam…

Here's what's in the RAISE Act, a state-level AI bill opposed by Trump and industry leaders
The RAISE Act would require large AI companies to publish safety and risk protocols and disclose serious safety incidents. 

A different, not only technical look at the technology behind the #Fediverse:
"What if instead we thought of the federation protocols (e.g. ActivityPub and friends) as something that could be added to most websites and make them interoperable with other sites?"
