Short summary of Project2025 and Trump's plans for the US:

----

- Abolish the Federal Reserve
*Why?* To end what is seen as an unelected, centralized body that exerts too much influence over the economy and monetary policy, replacing it with a more transparent, market-driven approach.

- Implement a national consumption tax
*Why?* To replace the current federal income tax system, simplify taxation, and increase government revenue through a broader base that includes all consumers.

- Lower corporate tax rates
*Why?* To promote business growth, increase investment, and stimulate job creation by reducing the financial burden on companies.

- Deregulate environmental policies
*Why?* To reduce government intervention in the economy, particularly in energy and natural resources sectors, and to foster a more business-friendly environment.

- Restrict abortion access
*Why?* To align with conservative pro-life values and overturn or limit abortion rights, seeking to restrict the practice at a federal level.

- Dismantle LGBTQ+ protections
*Why?* To roll back protections viewed as promoting LGBTQ+ rights in areas like employment and education, in line with traditional family values.

- Eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs
*Why?* To end policies that are seen as divisive and to promote a merit-based system that prioritizes individual achievements over group identity.

- Enforce stricter immigration policies, including mass deportations and detentions
*Why?* To prioritize border security, reduce illegal immigration, and enforce existing laws more aggressively, as part of a broader strategy to safeguard U.S. sovereignty.

- Eliminate the Department of Education
*Why?* To reduce federal control over education and shift responsibilities back to local governments and private sectors, arguing that education decisions should be made closer to the community level.

- Restructure the Department of Justice
*Why?* To ensure the department aligns more closely with the administration’s priorities, potentially reducing its scope or focus on areas like civil rights in favor of law-and-order policies.

- Appoint political loyalists to key federal positions
*Why?* To ensure that government agencies are headed by individuals who are committed to advancing the administration's policies, and to reduce the influence of career bureaucrats.

- Develop training programs for appointees to execute reforms effectively
*Why?* To ensure that political appointees are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the proposed changes quickly and effectively.

- Provide a 180-day transition plan with immediate executive orders
*Why?* To ensure that the incoming administration can swiftly implement its agenda and make major changes early in its term without delay.

@xuu Bahahahahaha brilliant 🤣🤣
@bender Nah, we'll just make our clients partially implement the spec. That is, ignore Twts that begin with !<nick url> ... where url is not your url.
@xuu So we probably need a way to ignore/hide these hmmm? 🤔

Heute waren das Ziehkind und ich zwei Stunden lang auf drei Spielplätzen und quer durch die Stadt unterwegs. Ein riesiger Spaß!
Vorab habe ich im hiesigen Spielzeugladen ein Konvolut von Klemmbausteinen erstanden, welche wohl zu einer Polizeistation gehörten!?
@bender Don't panic. I've just been testing my implementation. The great advantage of Twtxt is it's openness, I think. So DM spamming would contradict to this feature I like. ❤
So, are we muting/blocking the "DMers"? I am starting a list, and I am checking it twice.

@prologic I'll have you know it took me minutes of time to get the mouse suspended like that by that rats nest!
@prologic Not too shabby.
I really ought to get out and hunt down some interesting twtxt folks, maybe get myself on a list or something?
Very sunny 16°C, heaps of people outside. As soon as we were a bit further into the forest, we had it completely for us. From the foot we thought that the view might be rather good, but up at the summit, it turned out to be very hazy. Oh well. Surprisingly, I found four skyrocket sticks in premium quality. More than after New Year! Also, we came across two deer. It was a very nice two hours walk. No photos, though, sorry.

Heutzutage muss man ja auch mal was Positives teilen:In Hamburg wurde einer der natürlichsten Wälder vor der Abholzung gerettet und als Naturschutzgebiet ausgewiesen, statt eine weitere Logistikfläche zu werden:https://hamburg.nabu.de/umwelt-und-ressourcen/altes-land/vollhoefner-wald/index.html#hamburg

Yes, today in France, the price of houses is relatively high in the countryside and difficult to access for a modest family. I bought this house with my wife thirty years ago for a very low price but with a lot of work to do. It took me 20 years to finish everything with little means... it was not always easy, but I would never have returned to the city for anything in the world.. I hope my English is not too bad...

I really like the concept of "twt". It's the perfect blend of txt and twtxt. An abbreviated form. Even though it's the name given to posts, I personally find it very nice.

I don't think so, at least the tests I did passed. If you're pretty sure it's a bug, please create an issue in the repository with the specific case and I'll investigate it.
There are 2 buttons to make replicas, one makes a replica in the thread where the twt is located (this is the one that should be used the most, as it serves a thread), the other creates a replica to a specific twt.
I'll let you know a bit about the status: I'm just now implementing the thread screen. There you can be sure where you are. It's a bit confusing right now, sorry. I think the client is still in alpha. When I've finished what I'm doing, and the direct message system, I'll freeze development and focus on creating more tests, looking for bugs and making small visual adjustments.

@prologic huh.. i added sour.is and img.sour.is to my whitelist but its not showing inline for me
we posting setup pics?

@bender Yup!
@prologic Those aren't actually serving anything public-facing. I've thought about it, but for now I'm sticking with VPSs, partly because I don't relish the risk of weeks of downtime if something goes wrong while I'm travelling.
@prologic Here's mine. A pile of three laptops, a switch and a fibre modem connected by ethernet cables, sitting on a table in an unfinished basement.
Okay, I won't park there. A car-sized pile of snow with a sign planted in it saying "No Parking" "Snow Removal". It occupies one or two parking spots on the side of a street.

@lyse it depends if you already have the needed libraries, and auxiliary packages installed. If you do, then a few hundred MiB, for sure.
@movq not at all. Almost everyone I know uses an iPhone, so Messages is the standard. Many others simply use Facebook Messenger.
I'm happy to note that tomorrow is already Friday. However, looking back on the week, I can't think of anything terribly useful I've accomplished. Hard to distinguish it from a plain zero. Again. Hmm. Anyway, looking forward to the weekend.
@bender Hmmm, does that mean it’s not that popular in the US? 🤔

I hope not, @bender! I haven't checked, but I'd reckon it to be at most a single digit MiB number. How wrong am I?
@lyse and by „install\n the package "imagemagick"“ you mean installing a multi-GiB set of tools and libraries. :-D

@movq I cannot start to tell you how much I despise WhatsApp, but if I want to keep in touch with family and friends in Europe, I am forced to use it. WhatsApp use is pervasive in Europe.
The Americans are spreading links to sites with European alternatives for popular services, yet here I am, scheduling appointments with the construction workers over WhatsApp.
