And just like that, it's summertime.

> In pursuing a course of action likely to accelerate Iran’s nuclear weapons program, while removing international oversight, the Trump administration has crossed a Rubicon previous administrations had worked hard to sidestep. Advocates of regime change will now conjure proofs that the one-off strikes were less effective than hoped, and new and allegedly urgent targets will soon be proffered for bombing. America will now be locked into recurrent military intervention to “mow the grass” of Iran’s nuclear program on the basis of intelligence which will necessarily be unclear, speculative and politically contentious, not least among America’s increasingly conspiratorial and anti-interventionist populist Right.

>… Netanyahu’s inveterate high-stakes gambling has once again won out. Threatened by corruption charges at home, and a war crimes warrant abroad, the Israeli strongman has nevertheless shown himself to be the most influential actor in US foreign policy, far more so than America’s mere Vice President. Netanyahu may not be able to install a pliable new regime in Tehran, but bending Washington to his will has proved a far easier task.

I want a reader where I can plug in a nostr:nprofile1qqsdy27dk8f9qk7qvrm94pkdtus9xtk970jpcp4w48k6cw0khfm06mspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309ahx7um5wghx77r5wghxgetk9uj8qus8 api code and get the book adjusted. For example I couldn't find "the hobbit" in Spanish but Claude works beautifully to translate it in style to "simple Chilean Spanish for 8yo" but I'd need to translate few pages at a time ...

The ebook reader could retain the original language for reference.

Love the idea! Submit a PR?

I've been looking for a FOSS, cross-platform ereader that could enable me to migrate away from Kindle. So far, I'm loving Readest.

I'm down to two coffees per day. They said it could be done. Matcha is saving my ass.

"Officials only need to suspect a possible violation of any federal law. Providers served with a demand must comply quickly and are forbidden from disclosing that they received one. There is a narrow five-day window to challenge the request in court."

We refuse to be cowards.

"The Stasi in East Germany didn't just rely on secret police—they turned ordinary citizens into informants. By some estimates, one in seven East Germans was reporting on their neighbors, friends, even family members. The state didn't need to watch everyone; they got people to watch each other. But the Stasi had limitations: they could recruit informants, but they couldn't monitor everyone simultaneously, and they couldn't instantly broadcast transgressions to entire communities for real-time judgment.

Social media solved both problems. Now we have total surveillance capability—every comment, photo, like, and share automatically recorded and searchable."

I was bullish on lists. Unfortunately, lists are another half-baked feature that don't work reliably or consistently across clients.

There are good reasons for this. DYOR.

When was the last nostr outage?

Encouraging. I've all but stop using/checking my Meshtastic node. Hundreds around me, but crickets, still.

gm, good people. ☕️ Happy Friday.

Generally, individuals may do anything that is not expressly forbidden by law.

Banks may do *only* that which is explicitly permitted.

This is the Open for Business signal.
