we won't know the details until it gets release in a freedom of information act dump in 25 years and even then, people still won't know like how trump's document dump of jfk confirmed that the original tankies were right about the hungarian workers revolt.

edit: it actually doesn't matter how long; i just remembered about congress's actions to stop the azov brigade from obtaining weapons during the 2000's and people still refuse to believe that they're nazi's



Lemmy Release v0.19.14


What is Lemmy?


Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top. Thanks to @flamingos-cant for contributing to resolve this.

Changes


Recently some malicious users started to use an exploit where they would post rule violating content and then delete the account. This would prevent admins and mods from viewing the user profile to find other posts, and would also prevent federation of ban actions.

The new release fixes these problems. Thanks to @flamingos-cant for contributing to solve this.

Upgrade instructions


There are no breaking changes with this release.

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Thanks to everyone


We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development


We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.

ICEBlock app sues Trump administration for censorship and 'unlawful threats'


Lawsuit.

The developer of ICEBlock, an iPhone app that anonymously tracks the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, has sued the Trump administration for free speech violations after Apple removed the service from its app store under demands from the White House.

The suit, filed on Monday in federal court in Washington, asks a judge to declare that the administration violated the First Amendment when it threatened to criminally prosecute the app's developer and pressured Apple to make the app unavailable for download, which the tech company did in October.

How to change screen saturation?


Ubuntu, Gnome, Wayland, nVidia, Intel integrated graphics.

I have a wide-gamut OLED screen. When regular sRGB is mapped to it, it leads to oversaturation. I can use color profiles in color managed applications to get accurate colors, but it's not system-wide and it have no effect on most of the apps.
On Windows 11, I was able to change hue/saturation both in Intel Command Center and in ASUS preinstalled bloatware. On Linux, I've spent a lot of time, built below markdown file and I still have no suitable saturation control. Did I miss something?

If you're using KDE and you have a swappedRedAndGreen.icc color profile preinstalled in your color management settings, can you enable it to check if it affects whole system or only color managed applications (like some of image viewers)? If you have SDR Color Intensity in your KDE Display settings and it works, can you check if CTM is supported by your system (xrandr --properties | grep ctm)?

Gnome Extensions


There are some saturation extensions which work nice for X11 but bad for Wayland+fractional scaling, they degrade performance in any case:
extensions.gnome.org/
github.com/zb3/gnome-saturatio…

nVidia Settings


In some systems nVidia control panel has color settings:

nvidia-settings

Should look like this: askubuntu.com/a/664299 but no such option for me. Maybe switching between Open/Proprietary nvidia drivers will enable color settings? When I switch Primary GPU from Intel to nVidia and reboot, new props appear, but no color props. ctm doesn't appear in xrandr either. xrandr display id changes to eDP-1-1. Performance and heat issues appear. Mouse lags a little bit.

xrandr and xcalib


X11 only.

# You can make white less white, but can't change black in xrandr with gamma/brightness props:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --gamma ('{0}:{0}:{0}' -f 1.9) --brightness 0.5

# This one changes black point!
xcalib -brightness 10 -alter 

xcalib defaults: gamma=1.0 brightness=0.0 and contrast=100.0.

To reset xcalib use one of these:

  • Restart PC;
  • Alt+F2 -> xcalib -clear -> Enter;
  • Ctrl+Alt+Delete and wait for 60s or press Right, Enter


xrandr BroadcastRGB

# Check Broadcast RGB available values (default: Automatic):
xrandr --props | sls 'Broadcast RGB' -Context 0,1 | select -f 1
\#>       Broadcast RGB: Limited 16:235
#                supported: Automatic, Full, Limited 16:235

# Change to Limited:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Limited 16:235"
# Black is now less black, white is less white, screen is softer.
# Will reset to default after reboot.

libvibrant


X11 only
github.com/libvibrant/libvibra…
unix.stackexchange.com/a/73007…

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/libvibrant/libvibrant.git
# sudo apt install cmake
# sudo apt install libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev
# sudo apt install nvidia-settings libxnvctrl-dev
cmake ..
& ./build/cli/vibrant-cli --version

# FAIL
# CTM should be supported by driver/display for libvibrant to work:
# xrandr --properties | sls ctm

For non-laptop screens there are ddcutil and ddccontrol. They should work as if you're changing your settings using physical buttons on your display.

KDE has saturation settings? zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/20… "SDR Color Intensity" option. Maybe it relies on CTM?

KDE can affect whole screen appearance with regular ICC profiles without VCGT tag?

in reply to podbrushkin

Sounds like you want color management, not just arbitrary saturation changes.

Install KDE Plasma, select the "built-in" color profile, and you're done, no more oversaturated colors. If you want to test how it looks, just use a live boot.

in reply to Zamundaaa

I've spent a lot of time on color profiles and I didn't include section about them because I came to conclusion it's not possible to affect fullscreen saturation with them. Are you sure you can affect saturation system-wide with color profiles? Because in Gnome it's not possible. I actually asked it in my post originally but no one commented on this matter yet.


US: Other Countries Should Push Back on Lawless Executions at Sea— Canada, UK, Netherlands, France, Others Should Take Steps to Avoid Complicity


  • Governments should publicly object to the Trump administration’s unlawful strikes against alleged drug smuggling boats.
  • The rules-based international order depends on countries speaking out against violations, even when they’re committed by powerful friends.
    Governments that partner with the US on counter-narcotics efforts need to take steps to ensure they are not complicit in these extrajudicial killings.

For browser option, should I chose Kagi or Swisscows?


SearxNG instances are not working as well these days and I want something more reliable. I will just pay a subscription. Swiss cows is pushing subscriptions and I'm good with paying. Never tried Kagi.
in reply to ScoffingLizard

When choosing a browser, both Kagi and Swisscows are good options if you are looking for privacy and reliability: • Kagi: Known for offering high-quality search results, without intrusive ads and with a total focus on privacy. It is ideal if you want to avoid tracking and try something different from traditional search engines.
• Swisscows: It also prioritizes privacy and security, with the advantage of being based in Switzerland, which has strict data protection laws. It is a reliable alternative, especially if you want to avoid sharing personal information.
Tip: If SearxNG is not meeting your expectations, it is worth trying Kagi to see if it better suits your needs. Swisscows is also a great option for those seeking privacy.

Nancy Mace shreds Mike Johnson and says ‘Nancy Pelosi was a more effective House Speaker than any Republican this century’


Rep. Nancy Mace has ripped Speaker Mike Johnson for the way he has run the House of Representatives in a New York Times op-ed, the latest sign of discontent among Republicans with the speaker.

Mace, a former moderate who moved hard to the right who is now running for governor, criticized Johnson and House leadership for closing the lawmaking process and concentrating it among themselves.

“Would opening up the floor lead to more conservative bills passing or more bipartisan ones? The honest answer is: It would do both,” she wrote.

“Some Republican priorities would finally get a vote. So, too, would common-sense bipartisan measures. The point is to do more and let voters see where their representatives stand. What we have now is the worst of all worlds: little accountability, transparency and results.”



Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew rejects White House portrayal of her after ICE arrest

The Brazilian-born mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew – who was recently detained by US immigration authorities – has rejected the Trump administration’s characterizations of her as an absentee parent.

Bruna Ferreira, who was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in November during a traffic stop in Massachusetts and was being held at a Louisiana detention center, said in an interview with the Washington Post that the White House’s statements that she had never lived with her son or spoken with Leavitt “in many years” were incorrect.

Ferreira, 33, had a relationship with Leavitt’s brother, 35-year-old Michael Leavitt. They had a son, Michael Leavitt Jr, now aged 11.



Trai nghiem tu do cho khach du lich voi Smart Locker tai homestay va resort


Hiện nay, do sự phát triển của công nghệ và xã hội mà nhiều resort và homestay đang dần triển khai theo phong cách “tự phục vụ”, nơi du khách được tự do sử dụng các tiện ích mà không cần chờ nhân viên. Một trong những tiện ích ngày càng phổ biến là tủ locker thông minh đặt tại khu lễ tân, khu gym, hồ bơi hoặc phòng giữ hành lý. Du khách đến sớm trước giờ check-in có thể gửi hành lý vào locker, sau đó thoải mái đi dạo, tắm biển hoặc dùng dịch vụ. Không ai phải trông đồ, không lo thất lạc. Mã mở tủ được cung cấp tự động qua SMS hoặc QR, phù hợp cả với du khách nước ngoài.

Không dừng lại ở đó, một số resort còn dùng locker thông minh để phân phối khăn tắm, thiết bị thể thao nhỏ, áo phao hoặc bộ snorkel. Du khách quét thẻ phòng để mở tủ, hệ thống sẽ ghi nhận ai đang dùng gì. Điều này giảm tình trạng thất thoát thiết bị - vốn là vấn đề lớn tại các khu nghỉ dưỡng đông khách.

Có thể thấy, với phong cách vận hành hiện đại, tủ locker thông minh cũng giúp resort tạo ấn tượng chuyên nghiệp hơn. Trong giai đoạn cao điểm, công nghệ tự động giúp giảm áp lực cho nhân viên lễ tân, đặc biệt với những homestay ít nhân lực. Đảm bảo bảo quản đồ đạc tối ưu, chất lượng và mang tính hiện đại tuyệt đối.

Có thể thấy các nhà sách lớn như Hải Nam, Nguyến Văn Cừ vào cuối tuần luôn có lượng khách ra vào rất đông, do phụ huynh dẫn con đi mua đồ học tập, người trẻ tìm sách mới, hoặc khách tham quan chỉ ghé thử, trải nghiệm đọc sách. Khi lượng khách đông cũng đồng nghĩa với việc số lượng đồ mang theo cũng rất nhiều, điển hình như balo, túi xách, áo khoác, mũ bảo hiểm… Điều này khiến khu vực giữ đồ trở thành “điểm nóng” dễ xảy ra nhầm lẫn và quá tải.

Do đó, việc chuyển sang sử dụng tủ locker thông minh đang giúp nhiều nhà sách vận hành mượt mà hơn. Khách đến chỉ cần chạm vào màn hình, nhận mã QR hoặc mã PIN tự động. Mọi thao tác diễn ra trong vài giây mà không cần nhân viên hỗ trợ. Đặc biệt trong những buổi đông khách, công nghệ này giúp giảm tắc nghẽn rõ rệt. Điểm hay còn nằm ở chỗ là hệ thống quản lý tập trung. Nhân viên có thể kiểm tra trạng thái từng ô tủ theo thời gian thực, biết tủ nào đang dùng, tủ nào chưa đóng đúng cách. Những tình huống rắc rối như mất thẻ, quên đồ hay mở nhầm tủ gần như biến mất.

Đối với các nhà sách lớn hơn có khu vui chơi hoặc khu trải nghiệm STEM, tủ locker thông minh còn được sử dụng như nơi lưu trữ thiết bị. Trẻ nhỏ có thể mượn bộ dụng cụ, mô hình hoặc đồ chơi thử, sau đó trả lại đúng tủ theo hướng dẫn. Không gian trở nên ngăn nắp hơn, nhân viên giảm gánh nặng, khách hàng cảm thấy an tâm và thoải mái. Do đó Smart Locker chính xác là lựa chọn đáng đầu tư cho việc bảo mật an toàn, hiện đại, tối ưu dành cho bạn.

Nếu kể đến một môi trường đông đúc, luân chuyển liên tục thì không đâu khác chính là kí túc xá sinh viên. Sinh viên đến và đi theo kỳ, đồ đạc cũng thay đổi theo từng năm. Bởi lẽ đó mà tủ khóa truyền thống vốn gây ra nhiều chuyện dở khóc dở cười: mất chìa, hỏng khóa, khóa kẹt, bị ai đó mở nhầm… khiến ban quản lý đau đầu. Khi đưa giải pháp tủ locker thông minh vào ký túc xá, vấn đề gần như được giải quyết tận gốc. Mỗi sinh viên đăng ký phòng sẽ được cấp mã cá nhân hoặc thẻ mở tủ. Không còn chìa cơ, không còn nguy cơ bị sao chép chìa trái phép. Sinh viên chỉ cần nhớ mã hoặc lưu trên điện thoại.

Điều đáng để nói và hay nhất ở đây là hệ thống có thể reset mã bất cứ lúc nào. Khi sinh viên chuyển phòng hoặc trả phòng, ban quản lý chỉ việc thu hồi quyền truy cập và cấp lại cho người mới. Mọi thứ diễn ra trong vài giây — một sự thay đổi lớn so với cách vận hành cũ vốn tốn nhiều thời gian. Tủ Locker thông minh còn giúp ký túc xá nâng cao mức độ an toàn. Các trường hợp nghi ngờ mất đồ đều có dữ liệu hệ thống để kiểm tra. Nhiều ký túc xá hiện đại còn sử dụng tủ locker làm nơi nhận hàng cho sinh viên shipper gửi hàng vào tủ, sinh viên nhận bằng mã OTP. Tiện lợi và phù hợp với nhịp sống bận rộn. Thể hiện tính ứng dụng hiện đại cao, an toàn, bảo mật, uy tín.

Chắc chắn bạn đã từng đi siêu thị ít nhất một lần vào giờ cao điểm, và dĩ nhiên khi đi vào khung giờ đó thì không lạ gì với việc phải thấy cảnh khách xếp hàng gửi túi xách ở quầy giữ đồ một hàng dài. Vào thời gian cao điểm đông đúc người có nhu cầu gửi đồ như thế, nhân viên phải ghi số, phát thẻ, rồi lại quay lại kiểm tra khi khách lấy đồ. Mỗi ngày hàng trăm lượt như vậy khiến quầy giữ đồ trở thành một trong những điểm dễ gây tắc nghẽn nhất. Và đó cũng là nơi dễ xảy ra nhầm lẫn hoặc thất thoát.

Bởi lẽ đó, nhiều hệ thống bán lẻ lớn bắt đầu chuyển sang tủ locker thông minh như một giải pháp giảm tải cực hiệu quả. Không còn cảnh nhân viên ghi chép thủ công, không còn rủi ro mất thẻ giấy. Khách chỉ cần thao tác vài giây trên màn hình, hệ thống sẽ tự động phân bổ ô tủ và cấp mã mở duy nhất. Khi quay lại nhận đồ, khách chỉ cần nhập lại mã hoặc quét mã QR, tủ mở chính xác không nhầm lẫn, không chờ đợi.

Một điểm rất đáng chú ý là tủ locker thông minh còn giúp ban quản lý siêu thị theo dõi thống kê lượt gửi đồ theo ngày/giờ để điều chỉnh nhân sự. Với những siêu thị đặt gần khu dân cư, việc tối ưu giờ cao điểm rất quan trọng để giảm áp lực cho quầy dịch vụ khách hàng. Ngoài ra, camera được tích hợp trong tủ giúp tăng tính bảo mật. Những trường hợp tranh chấp hoặc nghi ngờ thất thoát được kiểm tra nhanh hơn nhiều so với tủ truyền thống. Nhờ tự động hóa, các siêu thị tiết kiệm đáng kể chi phí nhân lực mà vẫn nâng cao trải nghiệm của khách.

Bởi chính những lý do trên mà ngày càng nhiều chuỗi bán lẻ tại Việt Nam xem locker thông minh như một phần bắt buộc trong tiêu chuẩn dịch vụ. Nhằm hướng đến việc ứng dụng công nghệ hiện đại và góp phần nâng cao trải nghiệm khách hàng một cách hiệu quả.

Tại các cơ sở giáo dục, các trường học quốc tế hiện đại, việc ứng dụng tủ cá nhân đã trở thành một phần quan trọng trong đời sống học sinh để lưu trữ đồ đạc cá nhân một cách hiệu quả. Tuy nhiên, mô hình tủ cơ truyền thống thường gặp đủ kiểu rắc rối điển hình như là học sinh dễ làm rơi chìa khóa hoặc là tủ dễ bị gỉ sét do trời nồm, ngoài ra còn có các tình trạng học sinh trêu chọc nhau bằng cách đổi chìa. Những điều nhỏ này nhưng khiến giáo viên mất khá nhiều thời gian để xử lý. Đó là lý do tủ locker thông minh xuất hiện trong các trường học như một bước tiến tự nhiên. Thay vì dùng chìa, mỗi học sinh sẽ được cấp mã PIN cá nhân hoặc thẻ từ tích hợp trong thẻ học sinh. Chỉ duy nhất các bạn đó mới mở được tủ của mình. Giáo viên có quyền quản lý theo lớp hoặc theo khối để theo dõi tình trạng sử dụng hoặc hỗ trợ trong trường hợp khẩn cấp.

Các trường quốc tế từ khi ứng dụng smart locker đã đánh giá cao khả năng “tùy chỉnh bố cục” của locker thông minh. Một tủ cao có thể chia thành 12–24 ô tùy nhu cầu. Điều này giúp những lớp đông học sinh vẫn đủ tủ riêng mà không cần chiếm quá nhiều diện tích. Ngoài ra, điều đặc biệt là các tủ thông minh còn có thể tích hợp thông báo tự động cho học sinh nếu tủ chưa đóng đúng cách hoặc quên đồ bên trong. Với học sinh tiểu học và cấp 2 - điều này thực sự hữu ích vì thói quen sắp xếp đồ cá nhân chưa ổn định.

Hệ thống còn giúp hỗ trợ ghi lại thời điểm mở tủ, người mở tủ và tình trạng tủ điều mà tủ cơ trước đây gần như không thể kiểm soát, góp phần giúp đỡ không ích cho công tác quản lý. Một môi trường học đường văn minh, an toàn và chủ động hơn được hình thành từ những chi tiết nhỏ như vậy.

Wyden Says Trump's $12 Billion Farmer Bailout Exposes Folly of 'Destructive Tariff Spree'


cross-posted from: news.abolish.capital/post/1238…

Democratic US Sen. Ron Wyden was among those who emphasized Monday that President Donald Trump's erratic tariff policies have helped create the very conditions the White House is now citing to justify its new $12 billion relief plan for American farmers.

“Instead of proposing government handouts, Donald Trump should end his destructive tariff spree so American farmers can compete and win on a level playing field," said Wyden (D-Ore.), the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. "Donald Trump’s trade war is taxing families, killing markets for our farm goods, and driving farmers into bankruptcy."

"Trump’s plan to bail out farmers won’t even get agriculture communities back to even," the senator added. "They’re still paying more for fertilizer, equipment, and seeds, while grown-in-the-USA farm goods are facing more obstacles than ever in foreign markets. Don’t forget that all of this trade destruction and taxing was to raise money for Trump’s massive handouts to billionaires and the ultra-wealthy.”

Trump formally unveiled the relief plan Monday afternoon at a White House roundtable with top officials, lawmakers, and farmers of corn, soybeans, and other crops. Reuters reported that up to $11 billion of the funds are "meant for a newly designed Farmer Bridge Assistance program for row crop farmers hurt by trade disputes and higher costs." The other $1 billion is earmarked for commodities not covered by the program.

"Quite an admission that his policies have hurt Americans," economist Justin Wolfers wrote in response to the plan.

Farm Action, a farmer-led agricultural watchdog group, welcomed the relief package but said it's not enough to end suffering caused by "tariffs, soaring input costs, and years of volatile markets."

"The current problems facing our agriculture system have been decades in the making due to failed policy that prioritizes commodity crops for export, which only benefits global grain traders and meatpackers," said Joe Maxwell, Farm Action’s co-founder and chief strategy officer. "Without addressing the root causes of this issue, farmers will be left to continue relying on government assistance into the future. That is why Congress must take action and fix our failed subsidy system in the next farm bill."

Rebecca Wolf, senior food policy analyst at Food & Water Watch, said that "bailouts are a denigrating Band-Aid to farmers whom decades of misguided domestic policy have left vulnerable to trade wars."

"Trump’s tariff tantrum and belittling bailouts will deepen agricultural sector consolidation, funneling money to a powerful few corporations, while running farmers further into the ground," said Wolf. "If Trump is serious about helping farmers, lowering sector consolidation and dropping food prices, he needs to look in the mirror. Chaotic tariff tantrums are no way to run farm policy. US farmers need fair prices, regional food markets, and policies that reward sustainable, humane production models—not trade wars.”

The $12 billion relief program comes after months of Trump tariffs and retaliatory actions by key nations—particularly China—that have amplified challenges facing US farmers, a key political constituency for the president.

Farmers and organizations representing them have been vocal in their criticism of Trump's tariffs and his proposed policy responses to the problems that the duties have intensified. As the Washington Post summarized:

Earlier this spring, Trump’s tariffs on China prompted the country to halt purchases of US soybeans. Then, the president offered a $20 billion bailout to Argentina, whose soybean crop sales to China have replaced those from US farmers. Later, Trump announced that the United States would buy beef from Argentina to bring down prices for US consumers, opening a new rift between Trump and cattle ranchers.

The new assistance package is particularly aimed at helping soybean farmers, who have seen a precipitous drop in sales this year, leaving them with extra supply, as the price of soybeans fell.

In October, Illinois soybean producer John Bartman said in a message to the Trump administration that "we don't want a bailout, we want a market."

"Bailouts don't work. Bailouts are band-aids," Bartman added. "What Trump is doing is destroying our markets, and when those markets disappear, we're not gonna get them back."

Ryan Mulholland and Mark Haggerty of the Center for American Progress echoed that sentiment in an analysis last month, noting that "writing a check to farmers helps in the short term, but even in the most optimistic scenario, input costs are likely to remain high, demand volatile, the climate ever-changing, and corporate consolidation and investor ownership of land firmly entrenched."

"Planning for next year’s planting season will be extremely difficult, but without a comprehensive plan to make farming a more sustainable, more prosperous enterprise, planning in subsequent years likely will not be any easier," they added. "President Trump’s 'solution' is to simply pay off farmers. Farmers want trade, not aid. And they want government policy that supports farmers and the communities where they live over the long term."

AI Surveillance Startup Caught Using Sweatshop Workers to Monitor US Residents


Just when I thought I couldn't have a lower opinion of flock.

What does it take to become the most successful AI surveillance company in 2025? If you’re anything like Flock, the startup selling automatic license plate readers and facial recognition tech to cops, you don’t really need much AI at all — just an army of sweatshop workers in the global south.


Bombshell new reporting from 404 Media found that Flock, which has its cameras in thousands of US communities, has been outsourcing its AI to gig workers located in the Philippines.

After accessing a cache of exposed data, 404 found documents related to annotating Flock footage, a process sometimes called “AI training.” Workers were tasked with jobs include categorizing vehicles by color, make, and model, transcribing license plates, and labeling various audio clips from car wrecks.

In US towns and cities, Flock cameras maintained by local businesses and municipal agencies form centralized surveillance networks for local police. They constantly scan for car license plates, as well as pedestrians, who are categorized based on their clothing, and possibly by factors like gender and race.

I make an \~/all/ directory as a catchall for things that don't fit elsewhere, since \~ is used by so many automatic softwares and config files, I like having a place that only I'll write to.

I also make \~/bin for general use and \~/all/GitHub/ for software I install from GitHub.




Goodbye RMA, hello Planning Bill and Natural Environment Bill


It's a short article.

::: spoiler AI Summary (for the lazy)
Govt has finally revealed its replacement for the Resource Management Act (RMA). Instead of one giant law, we’re getting two new ones: a Planning Bill (452 pages – focuses on enabling development and land use) and a Natural Environment Bill (292 pages – focuses on managing environmental impacts and protections). Both are expected to pass by mid-2026, with transitional changes kicking in immediately.

Key points:

  • Transition period: Existing RMA consents get a 2-year extension, with a goal of clearing everything by 2031. New applications use a transitional RMA process that starts to mirror the new system.
  • Fewer consents: Officials estimate around half of current consents/permits won’t be needed under the new framework. Govt claims a $3.1b GDP boost per year and $13.2b in compliance savings over 30 years.
  • New ePlan system: A centralised digital planning/consenting/compliance platform. Regional Policy Statements are scrapped.
  • Plans merged: 100+ council plans will be merged into 17 regional plans, with 30-year spatial plans for infrastructure corridors.
  • Property rights & relief: Councils will have to provide relief (possibly financial) when heritage/nature protections or other rules significantly restrict what owners can do with their land.
  • More national direction: More nationally-set policy and standards, less local variation, supposedly faster plan changes (aiming to cut plan change time from ~7 years to ~2).
  • Less micromanagement: Trivial rules like which way your door opens, where it’s located, or where you mount your TV are explicitly out – framed as decisions for homeowners, not councils.
  • New Planning Tribunal: A specialist body to act as a “clearing house” for disputes and appeals, aiming for faster resolution.
  • Environment enforcement: Centralised enforcement of environmental protections rather than leaving it fragmented.
  • Treaty position: Govt says existing Treaty of Waitangi provisions from the RMA are carried over into the new laws.

Chris Bishop is pitching this as a “once-in-a-generation” reset that will unblock housing and infrastructure while still protecting the environment. Critics are likely to see it as a big tilt toward development and private property rights, with a lot riding on how those 744 pages get applied in practice.

This was just too hilarious not to post.

These guys are really on their resistance game, already stealing jobs from AI

It's not true, you can check this article debunking this claim written by Gergely Orosz (Pragmatic Engineer Blog) : blog.pragmaticengineer.com/bui…

The racism against Indians is so normalized, trying to discredit and dehumanize Indians, it's horrendous! Be objective and have some empathy...

BrikoX doesn't like this.
