Churches would get protections from IRS punishment under new bill
Summary:
Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate have introduced legislation that would amend a decades-old provision within the Internal Revenue Service regarding churches, pastors and nonprofits.
North Carolina Representative Mark Harris and Oklahoma Senator James Lankford introduced the bicameral Free Speech Fairness Act Monday. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas co-sponsored the legislation in the Senate, and 16 Republicans co-sponsored it in the House.
"Now that we have a Republican trifecta, [in the House, Senate and White House], [the bill sponsors are] hoping to have momentum behind it," a Harris spokesperson told Newsweek.
Newsweek reached out to the IRS and Lankford's and Cruz's offices for comment.
Why It Matters
The bill would remove the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 tax code provision.
Named after President Lyndon B. Johnson, the amendment prohibits all 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations—like churches, where contributions are tax-deductible—from supporting or opposing candidates in political campaigns. It was enacted to prevent tax-deductible money from being used in the process. Such organizations can still participate in electoral processes.
During his first term in 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order, Promoting Free Speech and Liberty, to ease restrictions on religious organizations and nonprofits and provide more protections.
Despite Trump's claims that he "got rid" of the Johnson Amendment, it remains in place and can only be changed by Congress or the U.S. Supreme Court.

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/28091145
US stock markets tumbled on Thursday as investors parsed the sweeping change in global trading following Donald Trump’s announcement of a barrage of tariffs on the country’s trading partners.All three major US stock markets closed down in their worst day since June 2020, during the Covid pandemic. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 6%, while the S&P 500 and the Dow dropped 4.8% and 3.9%, respectively. Apple and Nvidia, two of the US’s largest companies by market value, had lost a combined $470bn in value by midday.
Meanwhile, the US dollar hit a six-month low, going down at least 2.2% on Thursday morning compared with other major currencies and oil prices sank on fears of a global slowdown.

Ubuntu Touch Q&A 161
Marius announced that VoLTE is now working satisfactorily for both Mediatek and Qualcomm. The modifications are already in the image for both Focal and Noble. With that said in order to use them the porter for each device must do the work on that and for Qualcomm the only device we have at the moment is the Fairphone 5. On the Mediatek side, Volla from 22 up are functional. Marius and Alfred have been running it as a daily driver for awhile and have found no major problems.This is not just voice it is also SMS over VoLTE. AppLee reported some issues with MMS but Marius was surprised that MMS would work at all because it is a different type of protocol. Alfred attempted to test that out live but like most live attempts it didn’t work. Alfred also placed a call though and that did work.
In yet more big news, Marius has now succeeded in getting an eSIM to work. At the moment it functions only in command line but he is working on a UI for it. The fix used the Lpac library. A big shout out to the developers of that because it contains resources which we have used for lots of different things.
Marius confirmed to a questioner that both VoLTE and eSIM will have entries in Settings.
Halium 12 devices upgrade
Alagiralagir had a couple of questions. The first was to ask why all devices can’t be upgraded to Halium 12 so that they can take advantage of VoLTE? Alfred is the porter of the Pixel 3a but he expressed his view that the device has outlived its usefulness. It runs on Halium 9. It is not worth the effort of taking it further and there is not even a guarantee that Halium 12 would unlock VoLTE. There are times when the only way forward is to get a more modern phone and this is one of those times.
The Pixel 3a is not supported in Austria anymore, even if it is running the original Android. Time to let it go.
If we are going to make more use of Mastodon and Matrix we need volunteers to take care of that.

'We're all dead': GOP senator reacts to Trump tariffs
Summary
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) warned of uncertainty over Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, saying, “In the long run, we’re all dead,” and slammed blind loyalty to the policy.
While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers—unlike four GOP senators—he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.
Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, falsely claiming foreign nations will bear the cost.
Kennedy told Newsmax that predictions on the tariffs’ effects are unreliable, adding anyone claiming certainty is “lying” or “selling deep stupid.”

FEP-2931: Representing context with a Collection
Summary
FEP-7888 attempts to lay out clarifications for the use of the context property based on rationale and history, in which context is used primarily to logically group objects related by their "context", or in other words, stating that some object "was created in relation to" another object, where the latter object denotes some purpose for the first object.
In response to FEP-7888, and motivated by the desire to backfill entire conversations, various softwares wishing to federate have chosen to directly represent context as a Collection of objects acknowledged to be "within" some canonical context collection. This FEP describes this approach, its usages, and some drawbacks.
>Are you considering an additional FEP for backfill, or is this intended to be it?
@julian Maybe FEP-f228 is what you want?
It is still not clear why this proposal was submitted and accepted. The author didn't attempt to contribute to an existing FEP, and the only substantial difference between 2931 and f228 is that information about several implementations was removed.
Looks like an abuse of the FEP process to me.
Re: FEP-2931: Representing context with a Collection
@silverpill@mitra.social considering that these two FEPs have a decent amount of overlap I think there is enough justification for a merging.
I know I did argue for granularity, but the idea of backfill and that of representing a context's objects in a collection are pretty much identical from an implementor POV.
One describes behaviour the requestor, one describes behaviour of the recipient.

GUI Programming Recommendations
Hello all,
I'm trying to get into GUI programming, but am hesitating on using a Python library to make my first barebones program. My goal is to code basic buttons and understand how operating systems implement the way they draw windows for applications.
I have coded mostly in scientific libraries or high-level languages that are fairly simple (Python, Matlab, Julia)... Also am familiar with basic concepts and syntax from C.
Looking for recommendations to start. I am happy to learn a new PL. Interested in writing code for legacy hardware and mobile. Bonus if the codes are general enough to be written for most displays one could interact with.

Pretty much Qt. You can learn how different OSes have different way.
However, modern GUI programming is happening on the web and mobile phones. React is popular, but it's too high level and their XML-based approach is horrifically designed. Swift UI is nice, but it's Apple-only. Flutter is a good middle ground, but its Desktop capability is limited. You're going to shoot on your own foot several times.

Comunque, non ho avuto modo di dirlo subito ma… ‘Ngopp ‘o ling’, la domenica passata alla fine sono effettivamente uscita dal purgatorio Ossidiana, e ora da qualche giorno sono in Diamante. Allora evviva? Beh, piano piano; dipende. Ora sto godendo, sto abbastanza macinando, alternando adeguatamente gaming e learning, andando avanti col programma rimanendo comunque in punti sufficientemente alti della classifica… però…
Insomma, lunedì sera mi sono messa un poco paura. Dopo le classiche circa 24 ore di pausa che mi prendo post-lega, infatti, ho fatto lezione, e mi trovo questa situazione strana nella nuova classifica: la maggior parte degli altri con punti comparabili ai miei, cioè che quindi sono stati aggiunti allo stesso tempo di me… e poi qualcuno che ha decisamente tryhardato nella parte precedente della giornata. Senza girarci troppo intorno: un ennesimo punto fisso di #Duolingo, che ha sempre retto per mesi, mi è crollato addosso dal nulla stavolta… c’è una piccola possibilità che si venga messi nel girone con utenti che hanno già iniziato ore prima di te.

"Clear attack on our voting rights": Arizona college students sue to stop Trump's election order
A coalition of advocacy organizations sued the Trump administration Monday over President Donald Trump's executive order requiring Americans to present proof of citizenship to register to vote. Such a requirement — beyond exceeding the president's authority over state-run elections — would effectively silence the voice of college students registering for the first time, unsheltered voters and Native voters, argued the Arizona Students' Association, one of the parties to the lawsuit.
"We really saw firsthand what it looks like in Arizona if we do have these onerous citizenship requirements, so we really wanted to be a part of the voice fighting back to make sure that doesn't happen across the country," Kyle Nitschke, the organization's co-executive director, told Salon, referring to a now-blocked state law that also requires proof of citizenship. In a statement accompanying the lawsuit, he described Trump's order as a "clear attack on our voting rights," arguing that a federal proof of citizenship requirement would further disenfranchise college students.
