The #Trump admin proposed Monday to significantly limit the EPA’s authority to limit #pollution in #wetlands, #rivers & other bodies of #water across the country.

The proposed rule could strip federal #protections from millions of acres of wetlands & #streams, potentially threatening sources of clean #DrinkingWater for millions of Americans.

E.P.A. Rule Would Drastically Curb Protections for Wetlands

A 2023 #SCOTUS decision set the stage for the action by limiting the agency’s power to police #wetlands. In the opinion in Sackett v. EPA, Justice #Alito wrote that the #CleanWaterAct allowed the #EPA to regulate only wetlands with a “continuous surface connection” to a “relatively permanent” body of #water.

But he did not explicitly define a “relatively permanent” body of water. Now, the #Trump admin is describing it as a body of water that flows year-round or during the “wet season.”

The new definition would exclude #wetlands that abut or touch many intermittent #streams, which do not flow during dry periods. It also could exclude ephemeral streams, which sit dry for much of the year & fill up only after rainfall or snowmelt.

These changes could strip federal #protections from up to 55 million acres of wetlands, or about 85% of wetlands nationwide, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

It has been 8 months since I made the first commit for Owncast Sentry, a bot to receive proactive @matrix notifications when @owncast instances go live. I created the bot after I found other solutions to be too slow to send me notifications. As a result, I would end up tuning in to my favorite streams well after they've already started.

Since publicly launching, Owncast Sentry has grown to be monitor 82 unique Owncast instances across the fediverse, sending notifications in 6 unique Matrix rooms. The vast majority of the subscriptions are in @ozoned's Matrix space in his RUN channel, which acts as an unofficially official fire hose of when many Owncast instances go live.

If you want to receive Matrix notifications when your favorite Owncast instances go live, Owncast Sentry might be just what you're looking for. You can get started here: https://logal.dev/projects/owncastsentry/

Alternatively, if you just want to discover more Owncast instances, I recommend checking out Ozoned's RUN channel here: https://matrix.to/#/#the-ozoned-run:matrix.org

@logan @matrix @owncast Logal and Owncast making a difference!

If anyone has interest in #following #owncast #streams the bot has been a great help.

As a LOT of #fediverse natively supports #rss as well you can set up a #rssBot to monitor the unofficial Owncast as well for when someone, usually me, posts that an #owncaster is #live https://lemmy.world/c/owncast

@strypey you don't need consensus to start off, just an implementation in one app, which #Forte seems to be doing by evolving #Streams / #Hubzilla to use ActivityPub.

Hubzilla and streams both support AP. I'm guessing what Forte is doing is implementing the FEPs that adapted Zot/ Nomad features like Nomadic Identity and Channel Cloning to work with AP;

@tetrislife No doubt I've commented on this before, many times. But I think one of the things the design of ATProto and Nostr get right is clearly separating identity and user data, from apps and interfaces.

What I'd like to be able to do is login to a PieFed or PeerTube web app using my Mastodon account. In theory, doing this is compatible with ActivityPub. But there's no consensus yet on how to transition to a fediverse where that's the norm.
