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.

Do y’all agree with any/all/some of these poliices? Hmmm 🤔

Is it more an API (more oriented to developers), more oriented to UI/UX/Frontend? Perhaps both?

I’d go with prologic’s advice of measuring and prioritizing. Perhaps you have a budget or at least something like “let’s see how far can we reach in 6 months”, and possibly you won’t finish in the time you have (just guessing).

Something that has helped me was defining “Why do you we want to refactor this project?”.
Could it be to make it compile on newer versions, or making it easier to grow and scale, or perhaps they are trying to sell that product to another company. Every reason has a different path, IMO.

In-reply-to » @eapl.me Read flags are so simple, yet powerful in my opinion. I really don't understand why this is not a thing in most twtxt clients. It's completely natural in e-mail programs and feed readers, but it hasn't made the jump over to this domain.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah, you need some kind of storage for that. But chances are that there’s already a cache in place. Ideally, the client remembers etags or last modified timestamps in order to reduce unnecessary network traffic when fetching feeds over HTTP(S).

A newsreader without read flags would be totally useless to me. But I also do not subscribe to fire hose feeds, so maybe that’s a different story with these. I don’t know.

To me, filtering read messages out and only showing new messages is the obvious solution. No need for notifications in my opinion.

There are different approaches with read flags. Personally, I like to explicitly mark messages read or unread. This way, I can think about something and easily come back later to reply. Of course, marking messages read could also happen automatically. All decent mail clients I’ve used in my life offered even more advanced features, like delayed automatic marking.

All I can say is that I’m super happy with that for years. It works absolutely great for me. The only downside is that I see heaps of new, despite years old messages when a bug causes a feed to be incorrectly updated (https://twtxt.net/twt/tnsuifa). ;-)

that’s a fair point.

Perhaps, since Twitter in 2006 never implemented read flags, every derivative microblogging system never saw that as an expected feature. This is curious because Twitter started with SMS, where on our phones we can mark messages as read or unread.
I think it all comes from the difference between reading an email (directed to you) vs. reading public posts (like a blog or a ‘wall,’ where you don’t mark posts as read). It’s not necessary to mark it as ‘read’, you just jump over it.

Reading microblogging posts in an email program is not common, I think, and I haven’t really used it, so I cannot say how it works, and whether it would be better for me or not.
However, I’ve used Thunderbird as a feed reader, and I understand the advantages when reading blog posts.

About read flags being simple, well… we just had a discussion this morning about how tracking read messages would require a lot of rethinking for clients such as timeline where no state is stored. Even considering some kind of ‘notification of unread messages or mentions’ is not expected for those minimalist client, so it’s an interesting compromise to think about.

NPR and PBS first target in MTG’s DOGE crosshairs
Katherine Tully-McManus,  Staff Writer  -  Politico

_Stephan: Part of the coup “emperor” Trump’s administration is carrying out involves suppressing, or bankrupting a free press, replacing it as Orban did in Hungary, with a misinformation press that supports the authoritarian government the administration is trying to create. Scum MAGAt Representatives like Marjorie Taylor Greene are only too happy to help. This is their schem … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » View from my window last evening:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)

My January ‘25 in Review
January is one of those months when you either feel fresh and motivated – or like you’re stumbling into the new year. This time, I definitely fall into the second category. Not because nothing is happening, but because so much is moving at once – mostly furniture, wall paint, and my schedule. ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » So what are some good alternatives to GitHub, that are not based in USA? I like the minimal feel of sourcehut but it seem you have to pay if you want your, not just submit patches to others repos. But they also got IRC bouncer and mailing-lists included. Codeberg also looks appealing being based in Germany.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It depends on your requirements. If you just want to put your code somewhere for yourself, simply push it over SSH on a server and call it good. That’s what I do with lots of repos. If you want an additional web UI for read access for the public, cgit comes to mind (a mate uses that). Prologic runs Gitea, which offers heaps more functionality like merge requests.

Trump signs tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China
Brett Samuels ,  Staff Writer  -  The Hill

Government agents are roaming the streets grabbing immigrants, families are being separated. concentration camps are being set up, federal agencies are being dismantled, the economy is about to go in to recession with tariffs, and allies are breaking away.

USDA ordered to scrub climate change from websites
Zack Colman and Marcia Brown,  Staff Writers  -  Politico

_Stephan: There is a christofascist playbook, Hitler followed it, Mussolini followed it, and Stalin followed it. The latest version in Project 2025. And one of the constants of the christofascist playbook is that the government must be censured to ensure that information the fascists don’t like is not made available to citizens. “king” Trump and his MAGAt vassals don … ⌘ Read more

A free California? Trump visits as initiative to leave U.S. cleared to gather signatures
Elizabeth Weise Josh Peter,  Staff Writers  -  USA Today

_Stephan: Texas has a growing secession movement as I have previously reported in SR (see archives) and other MAGAt states do as well. But it isn’t just MAGAt states that are thinking like this. California, a Democrat-controlled state, and the fifth largest economy in the world is thinking about … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » To all my EU friends out there, is it this hard™ to reach a human in European companies that allow, perform or permit silly shenanigans? 🤔 Or is it just US companies? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net In the EU there are Laws, Rules and Regulations for many things. I’m not an expert, but your case may sound like it could match to the EU Digital Services Act.

[…] for example, the obligation to establish points of contact for authorities and citizens […]
