The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

OMG, those mouth-breathing, violent ICE thugs are going to have access to our tax data under an automated mass-sharing system. Worse, there's a really good chance it will send these creeps to the wrong homes of people who are not even under investigation.

hahah! What a crash course this has been in how to integrate with matrix. I'm not done yet.

Indiana Public Broadcasting will eliminate its reporting team. It will affect WVXU's coverage Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations, which has 17 public radio and television stations throughout the state, is eliminating its entire team of reporters and editors at the end of the year.

What a tragedy:

yes to wanting a group-like thing. I'm also working on things that are group-shaped. Usecases varied as Book Clubs, organizing door-to-door get-out-the-vote campaigns, neighborhood watches. Where the tools aren't watching you.

+1 for doing something NOW. Agree this is nostalgic, and just fun.

I think we are too fragmented. we have a hard time finding and participating in local community, and that's where I'm spending time. how do we build our local safety net, and do the primate stuff our social souls yearn for? I don't know exactly what I'm building, but tools for that generally.

re wix community app, This comment from the description bugs me: "is designed to keep your members connected and engaged with your site, no matter where they are". I don't like the engagement engine being a top goal. I'd prefer a people centric measure to improve.

This is not a repeal of the Johnson Amendment — this is the IRS choosing to ignore it when churches violate it.

FFRF remains committed to holding tax-exempt organizations accountable and is exploring all legal avenues to respond to this abdication of responsibility.

Still have a bunch of updates and matrix migration path to figure out... but now the pieces are working! Been working on this too long... a bit more to go

Fantastic! I got Matrix integrated enough that we can log in using OpenMeet's login. If you're a bluesky user at OpenMeet, you can log into a matrix instance using your bluesky creds. not released yet... but working in multiple envs.

Communities +1

Payments +1

I'm sure there are others here doing these things already, and I'd love to hear who they are. I'm interested in community/group resources and am working on a web app that will use ATproto as a source of truth. This would land in @lexicon.community if it fits

Yup. Balance. This is definitely a case of being outside my wheelhouse and I'm happy for the gains, not terribly upset about the limitations. I'm moving faster and better overall.

Recent Claude seems to have a good understanding of direct cypress usage. It's like my stack or my inexperience in cypress/JS confuses it and we get stuck at ~90% of a complete test for complicated scenarios.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Thanks, guy who asked for a change.

After I told you I wouldn't be making that change for several good reasons, I found myself working on nothing else for a few days. I think it'll be worth it.

I like to set claude code up with a bigger problem before I know I'm going to be away for a bit. Get the shape of it right with tests and participate for a few minutes to get an iteration cycle set up, walk away to touch grass or nap. "AFK coding"?

OpenMeet Community Platform OpenMeet is a free platform for sharing events and creating communities. Let's get together more.

I'll throw in platform.openmeet.net as a meetup alternative.
