@troed @Kow @GrapheneOS No, absolutely not. GrapheneOS is already fighting against Google API Integrity, which is already illegal and abusive. Google can do some good things, but the Play Integrity API is a bad thing.
Google has a lot of resources to defend its monopoly, and now a cartel in the EU wants to do the same thing to impose its deceptive standards and manipulate the market. It is supported by companies that are untrustworthy and very hostile to GrapheneOS, such as Murena, Iodé, and Volla.
Doing the same crap as an American company but with the "Europe" label on the front, it's still crap.
The for-profit companies involved in this are not competitors of GrapheneOS, but they feel threatened by it.

The requirement sharply limits the number of tankers available for domestic shipments, but is supported by maritime industry #unions.
Waiving the rule temporarily would allow foreign ships to carry cargoes between #US ports, potentially lowering #shipping costs & speeding deliveries. Analysts have said, however, that the impact on pump prices will likely be minimal.

Das Stocken der Steuerreform gefährdet den IWF-Programmfluss und damit die Kriegsfinanzierung.
The rapid sequence of events on Monday in the courtroom of Judge Zahid N. Quraishi was the latest indication of growing tensions between the #DOJ & the federal #judiciary in NJ. It came during the scheduled sentencing of a man who last year agreed to plead guilty to possession of child pornography.
The hearing did not go as prosecutors had planned. Judge Quraishi grew frustrated with the office’s head of appeals, Mark Coyne, who had not formally disclosed that he would appear, & fiercely interrogated a more junior prosecutor about whether the former interim #USattorney, #AlinaHabba, still had some role in operating the office.
Judge Quraishi eventually threw Coyne out.
The judge then ordered the 3 leaders of the NJ office, who last week were found to be occupying their positions unlawfully, to appear next month to testify about their office’s leadership structure. Attorney General #PamBondi appointed the unconventional three-person leadership team in December after #AlinaHabba was also found to be unlawfully appointed & was disqualified. The leaders are Philip Lamparello, Jordan Fox & Ari Fontecchio.
This is pretty pointless. She never answers a question straight.

The mechanism is straightforward & worth understanding. As AI automates the cognitive, analytical, and communications work that college educated professionals have built careers around, those white collar jobs shrink in value and number. The people most exposed are educated women who vote Democrat. Meanwhile, trade and vocational workers, the plumbers, electricians, and machinists who lean Republican and male, become harder to replace with software. Karp isn't just predicting this shift. He is building the technology that accelerates it, cashing Pentagon checks along the way, and calling it patriotism.

Any #Attorneys or private insurance adjusters in the #Cincinnati Butler County, #Ohio area. My brother is seeking someone. #law
One night in December while my brother and his wife was watching TV, a truck and a car collided on the road, the truck struck his car, which was parked in his driveway some distance from the road, and pushed it through corner of the garage
His homeowners insurance told him to take it up with the "at fault" drivers #insurance, although they sent someone out to do an emergency "plywood" repair to his garage which he got a $2500 bill for. Same for his auto insurance. The at-fault driver's insurance, Geico, told him to take it up with his insurance companies and they would deal with reimbursing the other insurance companies.
Meanwhile, my brother has severe property damage, his auto, that was parked, is totaled, he is paying out of pocket to rent a vehicle, both him and his wife are nervous wrecks, afraid to be outside where it happened and living on pins and needles it will happen again, etc.
Insult Kicker... Because my brother submitted a claim to his auto insurance, they already raised his rates almost $200 per year because of the "watching tv while parked in you driveway accident" he was involved in.

Happy to be settling into this Canadian corner of the Fediverse after moving over from another Mastodon instance. I’m enjoying the fresh start and excited to connect with this community.
A bit about me: I’m a Senior Law Lecturer, a retired (and recovering!) lawyer, proud Canadian, pickleball addict, lifelong #Habs fan, #Rush devotee, cancer survivor, and an amateur single‑malt #Scotch aficionado.
I mostly post about news, current events, and law — sometimes all at once — and I’m always up for thoughtful discussion and good conversation.
Looking forward to meeting folks here!

#EdMartin was removed from the top prosecutor job in DC after senators made clear he would not be confirmed to the role, but has remained at the #DOJ in several roles, including as pardon attorney.
“Mr. Martin knew or should have known that, as a government official, his conduct violated the First & Fifth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States,” Fox wrote.
Martin is being represented by a DOJ attorney, a source told CNN.
“Acting in his official capacity & speaking on behalf of the government, he used coercion to punish or suppress a disfavored viewpoint, the teaching & promotion of ‘DEI,’” Fox wrote in the complaint. “He demanded that Georgetown Law relinquish its free speech & religious rights in order to continue to obtain a benefit, employment opportunities for its students.”
Unlike unsolicited complaints, Fox’s formal disciplinary complaint kicks off professional conduct proceedings for #EdMartin in which he will need to respond & could be sanctioned or ultimately lose his law license.
Fox’s announcement on Tuesday marks the first major bar discipline proceeding against a high-profile admin official or attorney supporting Trump during his second term.
#EdMartin is formally accused of violating his ethical codes as an #attorney for telling #Georgetown Law’s dean last year that his #DOJ office wouldn’t hire students because of the school’s #diversity, #inclusion & #equity initiatives programs, according to the filing from Hamilton Fox, the disciplinary counsel for DC who acts as a quasi-prosecutor on attorney discipline matters.
Finally! This man is all kinds of wrong.
#Trump #DOJ official #EdMartin formally accused of ethical violations over letter he sent to #Georgetown Law about its #diversity programs
Ed Martin, an outspoken Trump admin official, is facing #attorney discipline proceedings in Washington, DC, for a letter he sent to Georgetown Law about its diversity programs, the district’s professional conduct investigator announced on Tuesday.

“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited & deployed at a protest yesterday & has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb,” Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch said in a post on X. “It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.”
Analysis of a second device recovered at the scene is ongoing. No injuries were reported.
An anti-Islam protest organized by #FarRight influencer & #Trump #pardoned #Jan6 #insurgent #JakeLang drew barely 20 participants, while a counter-protest called “Drive the Nazis Out of New York” peaked at about 125 people, Tisch said.
The 2 groups were separated into designated #protest areas by NYPD officers, but tensions escalated shortly before noon. At around 12:15PM, a protester associated with Lang’s group used pepper spray against counterprotesters, Tisch said.
About 20 minutes later, an 18-year-old alleged counterprotester “lit & threw an ignited device toward the protest area,” which landed on a crosswalk, Tisch said.
“Witnesses reported seeing flames & smoke as it traveled through the air before it struck a barrier & extinguished itself a few feet from police officers,” she added.
…In total, 6 people were arrested: the 2 responsible for the devices, the person who deployed pepper spray & 3 others for disorderly conduct & obstructing traffic, Tisch said.
#Mamdani on Sunday called the Lang-organized protest “rooted in bigotry & racism,” saying, “Such hate has no place in New York City.” But he said what followed was “even more disturbing.”
“Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device & hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible & the antithesis of who we are,” the mayor said.
The mayor & his wife are safe, & #Mamdani has been in contact with Tisch, said press secretary Joe Calvello.
The mayor thanked the men & women of the NYPD for their bravery & quick action.
#NY Police Commissioner Says #GracieMansion Incident Inspired by Islamic State [#ISIS]
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that 3 IEDs were found, including one that was found in a vehicle on Sunday. No one was injured in the incident on Saturday.

The device was thrown on Saturday outside the official residence of New York’s mayor, as a right-wing rally unfolded near #GracieMansion. The rally was led by #JakeLang, a #FarRight social media personality, who has led protests in Minneapolis, & now New York. His event on Saturday was billed as a “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City” demonstration near Gracie, the Upper East Side home of #Mamdani, the city’s first #Muslim mayor.
#JakeLang showed up with a goat & about 20 followers, who were wearing American flag hats & “Freedom” sweatshirts [#racist clowns]. As the day wore on, tensions grew with about 100 counterprotesters.
Then toward the end of the event, a man appeared to light a small black object & tossed it on a sidewalk. Police rushed to arrest him & another man, as the device emitted smoke. It did not explode.

Swiss Defense Minister Martin Pfister, one of Switzerland’s federal council members, said the govt believes the attack on Iran constitutes a violation of international law.

After the investigative material was released Friday, lawyers for #RubenMartinez’s mother, Rachel Reyes, said the footage called the government’s narrative into question.
“These new videos confirm that Ruben’s car was barely moving when he was shot,” Charles M. Stam & Alex Stamm said in a statement. “That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger.”

His car moved forward very slowly in the moments before Homeland Security Investigations [#HSI] Agent Jack C. Stevens fired 3 shots into Martinez’s blue Ford sedan. The footage does not show Martinez speeding up rapidly or appearing to target a second HSI agent, Hector Sosa.
Martinez was under the influence of alcohol & had marijuana in his system [IRRELEVANT], acc/to autopsy records, as different officers allowed him to keep going & shouted at him to stop.
Sosa told investigators that Martinez’s car struck his legs, causing him to fall over the hood before Stevens opened fire. It is not clear from the nighttime footage whether the exceptionally slow-moving car actually hit Sosa. Footage from a nearby business shows the hood of the Ford. But the video is grainy & skips through some portions & does not definitively show whether there is a figure on top of the hood.

Geoffrey P. Alpert, a professor of criminology & criminal justice at the University of South Carolina, said the chaotic scene, & its handling by law enforcement, raises “a lot of red flags.”
“The contradictory orders are confusing & may have been a strong influence,” Alpert said. “The speed is slow & doesn’t appear threatening. Could the officer have moved away? At worst, all he has to do is step aside. We call it officer-created jeopardy.”
The body-camera & surveillance footage was released along with witness statements & other material after a grand jury in #Texas declined to indict Stevens in connection with Martinez’s death.
In an emailed statement, acting #ICE director Todd Lyons said: “We stand by the grand jury’s unanimous decision that found no criminality. This incident was investigated from every possible angle by an independent body, & it cleared our officer.”
The evidence provides a raft of new information about the first known #DHS fatal #shooting of a #US #citizen since #Trump returned to office & began his aggressive #immigration crackdown.
More than a dozen people have been shot by DHS personnel over the past 14 months, including at least 2 other fatal shootings of US citizens during immigration enforcement operations.

The replacement of the supreme leader rests with Iran’s powerful clerical body, the Assembly of Experts. But members of the #IRGC & others within the country’s security establishment also play an influential role.

The proposal would give the #USattorney general the right to review misconduct allegations against current or former #DOJ #attorneys & request that disciplinary authorities at the state level suspend their investigations.

The proposal takes aim at the actions of #bar associations & similar professional organizations, not government entities, that investigate alleged #unethical conduct by #lawyers & consider actions such as #disbarment, which involves revoking a #license to practice #law [cuz, yeah, sane humans believe Rudolph Giuliani should still have legal authority /s].
