Trump OLC On Boat Strikes: The Less Of A Threat Posed By Boat Occupants, The More Justified We Are In Murdering Them

#Trump has stacked the #DOJ & the #Pentagon with personal #loyalists, & has tended to bypass the Office of Legal Counsel [#OLC] — the institution traditionally responsible for vetting the legality of executive actions. Although the standard guidelines & procedures for past #domestic deployments remain on the books, there is substantial reason to doubt that the civilian leadership will follow them.

National Library Workers Day
A happy National Library Workers Day to all who celebrate! That should be ALL of us, by the way. From the American Library Association website: "The ALA Allied Professionals Association (ALA-APA) invites library advocates, patrons, and staff to show their support of our nation’s library workers by posting words of encouragement and appreciation for their local library stars at http://bit.ly/librarystar. Academic, public, special, school library patrons can “Submit a Star” by […]https://medi-nerd.com/2025/04/08/national-library-workers-day/
An eye-crosser for us non-lawyers but a foothold on understanding the particulars of our predicament.
As usual since it was invented, the Office of Legal Counsel serves here as a de facto court of judicial truncation. Being part of the DoJ, the #OLC is especially poisonous now. Predictable, of course.

I like Open Location Coordinates AKA #olc #plusCodes as these are a compact, readable easily sharable open way to identify global coordinates.
There's 2 renderings though, a full one and a version that's abbreviated but needs a locality name.
The long one is great, the other one is useless because an app would need a massive db of placenames.
Guess which version #googleMaps gives access to...

Thom Hartmann on #DOJ #OLC #DOJOLC president #POTUS free-criming no-indictment pass: written in a letter by #Nixon’s corrupt DOJ (AG John Mitchell went to prison) when Nixon was being investigated… doubled down on by Clinton’s DOJ when he was being investigated for lying under oath

"Monday's filing is in line with longstanding Justice Department policy that says a sitting president cannot be indicted or tried on criminal charges because it would violate the Constitution and interfere with the working of the executive branch."
Hey, #Biden, #Garland, #DOJ #OLC how about replacing the 1973 OLC Moss Memorandum?
En Afrique du Sud, des « adresses numériques » pour cartographier les bidonvilles
Lawley Station, à 40 km au sud de #Johannesburg. Sur ce plateau aride, des milliers de cabanes de tôle forment une masse compacte, dans laquelle serpente un dédale de ruelles de terre battue. Ce jour-là, elles sont investies par des jeunes du quartier revêtus de tenues jaune fluorescent. Par petits groupes, ils s’affairent à mesurer l’écart entre chaque portail donnant sur un groupement de cabanes. (...)
« Ici c’est un lieu de culte. On essaie d’être le plus spécifique possible pour que les gens puissent se repérer. » Elle fait partie de la trentaine de volontaires recrutée par l’#ONG #Planact pour cartographier le quartier et attribuer une adresse à chaque propriété.
Planact, qui lutte depuis 1985 contre l'exclusion des populations vulnérables, a lancé ce programme d'adresses numériques avec le soutien de #Google. Le moteur de recherche fournit la plateforme permettant de recenser les habitations et de leur attribuer un « Plus code », soit des coordonnées géographiques simplifiées en une combinaison simple, utilisable sur Google Maps. Une plaque bleue indiquant le Plus code est ensuite apposée sur les habitations.

>> Sadly, you either believe that a POTUS is a king or you know you are lying
#POTUS is not king, but the #OLC memo that hamstrung #Mueller came from the executive branch, not from the Constitution. If SOMEONE can make a memo that lets a treasonous attack go unprosecuted, then SOMEONE should be able to rescind that memo — not saying POTUS has to do that
In any case, 1 wk before the most consequential election of our lives is not the best time to call a fellow dem a liar 🙂
Today I am wishing again for #activityPub to support location-aware communities. I'd like to see posts on maps. I'd like to talk to people in my community and neighboring areas, and follow specific locations with #OLC #plusCodes, (without having to manually expand the quad tree for large regions!)
#FediMeta
Is there any software on the #Fediverse doing this?

The numerous geocoding systems vary in #granularity (#precision) achieved with a certain amount of letters, & in their audience or #community.
Above, I gave the example of #Maidenhead Locators (#QTH) commonly used by #HamRadio people.
Different cultures use different #geocode|s for reasons.
AFAIC, it would allianate communities to single out a particular system & mark it as ›general‹ by using a prefix like ›#GEO‹.
Platforms should #welcome & represent a variety of cultures.

I just checked. Pixelfed already implements the location property. It's contained in the ActivityPub objects and shown on its webpage. So it's literally already there.
On what I might agree, that it's hard to determine what the Fediverse is capable of. As a technically inclined guy, I can just look at the raw data and form opinions. So my opinion "anything" is probably not what most people experience.
Btw, #normalization of #georeference|s is not trivial, because it requires techniques called #InstanceMatching.
It's an entire field of ongoing research.
A search for one of the #Berlin|s should be able to come up with

People who want to use exact #georeferencing in a posting should have a way to do so, for example for offline events or to describe #geospatial (or #marsian) features.
