But sure. It’s a wider cultural policing issue - however there are good cops and many interactions are reasonable enough day to day.
If I hire a murder, train them, give them a weapon, and tell them they are powerful - who is at fault? If I hire someone who commits crimes for my business, am I responsible?
Politicians, police unions, officers and any police leadership roles should all be accountable. No questions. They are arming poorly trained violent individuals.
The worst part is the cover up and the officers lying for each other - and the legal assumption that police under oath are honest. They are regularly not. Again, it’s skewed against the public.
These stories were in Paris and Sydney. No US at all. Plenty of recent Australian police brutality against youth and/or indigenous peoples in Australia too. Head stomping and despicable acts that are attempted to cover up - public video footage often the only reason police can’t hide and lie.
Definitely there are countries that have far fewer conscious-less and completely untrained officers. Many many countries even in the EU have significant police corruption.
Democracy has failed significantly to build strong police forces that are built for the community and respect the community. They are trained and exist today to use excessive force - that any mid-IQ individual would never deem as appropriate - yet they hype up their recruits, give them an ‘us vs them’, ‘we’re always right, their always trying to disobey’, ‘used against you, but not for you’ mentality. It’s sickening.
Domestic violence, meth and drug violence, horrific car accidents, murder and violent crime - sure are tough situations. Nursing home patients or your every day citizen are not trying to kill police or break laws or create a hard time.. they just want to get on with their day. Police are trained and indoctrinated in western democracies that citizens are all offensive and high threat. Not part of their community or just regular people.
Everyone breaks laws.. there are so many laws you can’t not break multiple a week. Most laws don’t matter or aren’t known - why, because there are too many and the majority of people aren’t trying to cause problems. The laws were created to handle rare edge cases - not the 99.99% reality. If you put an officer offside, they will always have countless offences to write up against you — to show you who is boss and they are powerful.. aka. pissing contest.
Sad stories all round.
Sure having longer average lifespans may have society value or be seen as an achievement.. but we sure as hell don’t know how to fund it (aging population), or how to treat less capable or people suffering from typical older age conditions.
My grandma had dementia. It took around 7 years for her to become effectively catatonic. Her treatment - withhold food and wait until she starved to death. This isn’t made up. That’s literally how she passed - we had no idea if she would live 24 hours or weeks. It was three and a half weeks from when they started to withhold food.
My granddad had a fall and a decent bump on his head. He was not likely going to live or recover - however the doctor came and administered a lethal dose of morphine. Sad, but at least he said some goodbyes and passed an hour after falling. Giving fatal doses of morphine is actually very common for elderly entering hospital usually after a fall. Technically it’s murder - and it’s not talked about - yet it happens extremely often. Again - governments fail us with broken laws, poor information and remove personal choice.
Our governments and their laws are completely trash around personal death and choices, and how we treat end of life circumstances.
Globally police have become trigger happy enforcers - who overreact and shoot bullets and “less than lethal” (read: deadly, but slightly less so) in circumstances without real elevated risk - like nursing home patients and in countries with tight public firearm control… they are not dying in bank robbery shoot outs (statistically).
The police institutions (and their training) need to be torn down and completely overhauled. Badge or no badge, murder is murder. Being a police officer is 10-100x (times) safer than many other professions. Police just get a pretty flag folded funeral - when plenty of other service roles deserve greater or equal recognition.

I’m no police deescalation trainer.. but..
“Two officers who responded to the incident used a stun gun, pepper spray and a baton on Mr Burgess who had one leg, suffered from dementia and used a wheelchair.”
Obviously the carers didn’t shoot or taser him in the time period before the police arrived. No, they managed the situation - dementia is tricky and paranoia can be strong.
However… literally grab a blanket and throw it over the guy. Movement/mobility limited, vision limited, knife disabled.. and literally wait him out. Dementia violence doesn’t last forever.. it’s largely in bursts. It’s often easy to distract them as part of deescalation using food or other means (like younger children) as well.
The best same nursing home story happened in Australia recently too. Dementia. Patient used a walker. Somehow got a knife (most likely a bread knife.. a bread knife wielded by an 80-90 year old with mobility limitations. If that scares our tough and highly trained police forces… fuck me. Give the badges to nursing home staff who deal with dementia bursts of aggression daily - not retards who think a badge gives them meaning in life and a license to kill.

I didn't realize you could just NIP-05 an entire domain instead of just a "user@" 👀
Does this prevent you from also adding "user@" NIP-05s nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv?
You can still add other prefixes for other pubkeys.
The domain should be _@ for the root domain use case, however it’s possible some clients accept an omitted _. I’d still include it as it’s the latest spec (at least that I’ve read).
Things are often named what they want to be, yet fall short in reality. Similar to most companies values - if you are something by culture you often don’t need to remind people be act a certain way. nostr:note1kh3ft2s3mwmhfgn9sttsk8mnalnk5aakgmwkpxt6j7m0td6cugcq63lc30
Me? I’ve been largely taking a break from tech and dev the past bit. I really don’t do social networks.. killed Facebook and Twitter a decade ago and now only have a zero follower private Twitter to get some content that’s yet to cross borders.
Some social keeps you connected. The rest rots the brain.
Risk is an exposure and management process. Supply chain attacks or zero days are possible and not of zero risk.
Active/dynamic systems (multiple lightning implementations and lightning channels) are generally at much greater risk than passive (btc cold wallet address). The overall risk may still be low - while the relative risk is quite different.
Side attacks are also very possible - like requesting a refund via a path hint with a high fee node the attacker controls. Unless you mitigate against something like this, naive implementations are vulnerable.
Same goes for Umbrel. LND may be safe, while an app update or new app could escape docker and do bad things.
It’s a matter of when, not if. Yet it’s all a risk management process at the core.
getPublicKey is part of the extension. spec.
Hot wallets can certainly advise people when a balance crosses above a threshold, how someone can provide better security of their funds.
The initial risk is low, without a large starting transfer.
Help guide people into suitable and appropriate standards based on their position and risk.
Perhaps other options exist.
Perhaps Russian citizens seize the opportunity to end Putin’s reign and support WMG - and then decide they want leadership other than WMG.
Russia has spent around 10-15X the expected cost/losses fighting Ukraine. WMG isn’t exactly overthrowing Putin and inheriting a functional military or government.
Democracy is largely a joke, however Fascism and Communism largely don’t respawn after a power swapping struggle.. this may be just a more sudden transformation.
Inheriting Russia as a new unelected power will mean a lot of negotiations and conceding with other powers to bounce back - or they have no way out of just becoming a North Korea that’s slowly crumbling. Russia needs investment, not a new dictator.
People look but don’t see. Hear but don’t listen. Trust without verifying 🙂
A subconscious automated mode that skips the thinking and examining conscious part of existence. To them, it’s easier to ignore what is and focus their consciousness on other more dopamine filled thoughts and activities.
Classic fog of war. Accurate near real-time intel is very hard.. even harder to commit to major action focused decisions.
And this is the age where everyone has phones and cameras.
Seems like fair commentary.
Things are often not what they appear - and minds often reject anything alternative to what’s been broadcast for so long as fact or truth.
Concentrated power is never a stable state. It’s always under attack, with paranoia a constant pressure for the top - or those who want the top.
It doesn’t help Putin effectively ran out of money (or is being seen to lead by greed) and/or basically wanted to underpay and send WMG in as cannon fodder. ‘If I’m [WMG] doing all the work, what’s in it for me’ logic is a strong opposing force.
I’d wager it’s actually been an fractionally published early strategy of the West and Ukraine’s military playbook - which is why greater and more immediate forced hasn’t been used or supplied to Ukraine.
Did you mean ‘governments’? 📎
