A proper federal investigation into the murder of Nex Benedict
The removal of the superintendent who fomented an atmosphere that led to the death of Nex Benedict
A guarantee from president Joe Biden that if he's reelected, he will prioritize our safety, and put an end to the anti-trans legislation being passed around the country. The same legislation that led to Benedict's death.

Nex's murderers walk free. Nex's community remains silent.
Why aren't you fucking mad? If the murder of a #trans child isn't enough to drive you mad, then how about the school, police, and DA conspiring together to protect the murderers? If that isn't enough to make you at least march in the streets, then I'm convinced the moment will never come.
We're pathetic. I fucking hate our silence. I fucking hate this.
Judd Legum on his substack has some VERY eyebrow raising quotes from an Owasso Police officer.
Really needs to be read but this particularly stood out to me: "Boatman told Popular Information that the Owasso Police 'reached out to the medical examiner's office to try to head off some of this national scrutiny.'"
#Nex's death in #OK needs to be reported widely. This is a good, serious article told from the point of view of the author who identifies with them. I did like this sentence in particular: "Like white pants, gender might not be for me, but you can have it if you want it."

Where the gemini-protocol is an alternative to the gopher-protocol and the Web — Misfin is an alternative to e-mail.
Misfin is tied to the gemini-protocol & gemtext — messages are assumed to be gemtext, server responses are based on gemini-protocol server responses, etc.
The nex-protocol specification doesn't describe a way of doing gzip, brotli, etc compression like HTTP does with the Accept-Encoding & Content-Encoding headers.
BUT —
A nex-server could support gzip compression when a ".gz" extension is added to the end of a file.
The response is the actual file. You don't need to do any decoding. So it is simple.
One cost of this is —
In general, you cannot tell if you actually received the whole file or not. You don't know, for example, if the network connection died before you received the whole file.
@ai6yr@ampledata Vara seems to be Windows-only which makes it a non-starter for me. I wrote a packet radio stack back in the day (just because) - all I needed was a radio, world-chip hardware modem and my software. All I needed as the AX25 specs.
This isn't we should go back to "the good old days" - I really like my IC-7300 with USB connected computer - but to note that the layering of software adds complexity and this makes things more and more opaque, with more points of failure. This especially bad if there's proprietary software in there.
Not sure what we do about it really, but I'm not the only one who are finding simple protocols/and systems appealing: there's #gemini and #nex (nex.nightfall.city/nex/info/sp… ). Having something to sit them on top of for HF that's a bit more open would be great.
Now back to by 1000+ line config.org for Emacs! Somehow this isn't inconsistent as with #orgmode nothing's hidden - everything's in text files ...
