Don't forget.
Cows are now being fed Bovaer to reduce climate emissions.
The problem is that it is made of 3-NOP which is a toxic chemical.
Farmers have to wear masks and protective suits when handling it.
It is even suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
And now the experts are telling us it is safe to give it to cows and drink the milk.
I'm skeptical.

For any space mission to launch, thousands of hours must have been spent iterating new technologies to make the spacecraft fly. The Biomass satellite, which today shared its first science data, is no exception. The probe, which carries just a single instrument on board, will perform a five-year census of all the trees on Earth to teach us more about how climate change and pests are affecting the world’s forests than we’ve ever learnt before.

US is fully fascist.
Trump's trade deal with China is a rollback to the pre-trade war status quo, but with Americans paying a higher tariff rate.
Trump's tariffs will cause more economic pain to the US than China, with the World Bank projecting US growth to slow significantly. China, as the world's largest goods exporter and leader in processing critical materials, has leverage in the global economy and can respond to US restrictions with its own.
The tech bros are gathering everyone's data and giving it to the government so they can see who isn't expressing the right opinions online.
Right now, they are using it against people coming into the US.
I have a feeling we'll be like the former East Germany in a few years if things keep going the way they are.
Weird Computer Contest
A contest to see the strangest computer being used to read mastodon/the fediverse. The prize is a cool drawing from me just for you.
Rules:
1. Post a reply to show your device and why it is strange. Can mean hardware and software. A photo is better.
2. You can't go *too* much out of your way to use some goofy device that you don't ever really use.
3. Winner selected by general consensus.
This is *not* just an excuse to see/post photos of strange computers.
My daily driver for most of my personal computer touching these days is a ClockworkPi DevTerm. The photo doesn't really convey scale, but it's about the size of an A5 sheet of paper.
Inside the hardware is nothing special, it's a raspberry pi CM4 module on a custom carrier. But I really enjoy the form factor. The keyboard is OK for four-finger typing on the couch, but I do frequently connect an external keyboard and display.
The screen is 1280x480. I'm usually running emacs full screen and split in to two windows side but side. That gives me enough to comfortably read and write text.
I use mastodon.el in emacs. It's not as good as tusky on my phone, but it does the job.

Waves of barbaric attacks by Israeli military against Tehran earlier today
Preliminary reports of large civilian casualties were reported.
#Iran #Israel #WarOnIran #IranUnderAttack #StopIsrael #PeaceNow #StopGenocide #SancrionIsrael
Israeli media has been limited in detailing the specifics of recent attacks on targets within Israel due to military censorship. For instance, most outlets didn't mention that Tel Aviv University was the target of a strike yesterday, which damaged a nearby shopping area. The prominent coffee shop's signage at the site was cropped or not included in the images published, even though they circulated widely on social media.
This morning's message states only the following:
"Israel Electric Corporation: Strategic infrastructure facility in the south was hit, disruptions in electricity supply to settlements in the area"
Instead, Israelis are shown random images of attacks on targets in Iran.

Trump posts on Truth Social to "make Iran great again"; calls Sunday's US strikes on Iran a "bullseye".DAWN.COM
Quoting Noa Limona on how the Israeli media is reckoning with uncritically accepting military explanations for targeting journalists and media infrastructure, after using the same justifications in both Gaza and Iran attacks that are now being used at home against them:
[…] After all, the killing of journalists in Gaza is covered here only through the #IDF filter, according to which they are all terrorists.
[…] and the bombing of the Iranian broadcasting network was reported with cheers and corrupt mockery. No journalist in the mainstream media questioned the army’s justifications for the bombing: the station ‘served military activity,’ the wonder excuse that worked for us in Gaza, and served as ‘a mouthpiece of the regime that incites genocide.’ It seems that no one in Israeli studios felt the crushing irony.”
Limona’s concludes that the assault on press freedom that began with targeting foreign journalists is expanding to encompass Israeli media outlets that don’t toe the government line. She warns that even mainstream Israeli channels (11, 12, 13) are now being labeled as problematic by government supporters, suggesting that the restrictions will eventually affect all non-compliant media.

What a lot of people prefer to ignore (also in Europe, very much so):

One difference between real human interlocutors and language models is the level of sycophancy. Consumer chatbots are trained to be helpful, but there are situations where a human will give you what you need, not what you want.
Testing this, I just posted this query to chatGPT, and got the shopping advice I requested, missing what I think is the clearly superior response of "Hey Buddy, are you sure your wife really wants to celebrate her birthday with housework?"

Any suggestions for other queries I could provoke a language model to display its helpfulness to answer the direct question at the expense of a superior, unasked, question?

Excellent disquisition on Trump's fundamental racism. While DEI is in its essence of course reasonable and sane, here there is the finer-grained analysis of how it plays out in the still white world. Black artists don't need white approval--and therein is also the conundrum of how "black and white" are such horseshit terms, yet the lived reality underscores otherwise--so far.

Just quoting the readme so there's no misinterpretation:

: 'Any Linux discussion list isn't going to have your idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me'Simon Sharwood (The Register)
This isn't coherent, and even if it was, the burden of stance interpretability is context-dependent.
He is the one with the politically charged README that reads plainly like the thoughtless garbage MAGA types in America put out. I mean cmon man, "[...] we'll make X great again"?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his "detractors" (and who would not become a "detractor", after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
As in, for instance, the original source of his garbage antivax posturing that he posted in the linux kernel mailing list: lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ke… .
These are not alleged opinions, he's just full of shit.
And this isn't even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.
The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.
There are already many different compositors that implement the Wayland protocol, and there are also many 3rd party extensions! Can you think of a single, material benefit to simply having different basic desktop protocols?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his “detractors” (and who would not become a > “detractor”, after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people
criticizing the founder. The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.

Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don't agree
with that, you miss the all point.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder.
Why yes, friend, I will just conveniently pretend that you bringing that up is completely outside the context of whether or not to seriously consider the criticism.
And if you are trying to make a point of whether or not the ideology is seriously impacting the project, you need-only take a casual walk through the issue list, and find (among other evidence) that a suggestion to move to codeberg was criticized for... "DEI". Wow. How technically-focused.
The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.
You are getting more and more incoherent the more of these replies you churn out. What, precisely from my point of view (which I guess apparently you know very well? the irony...) here implies that "not talking about it" is the best choice? That's absurd.
I find it very important to understand the motivations, technical and ideological, behind a project.
If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.
I don't spend any effort talking about in any other respect than telling people that they should likely disregard if for both technical reasons (it cuts out Xwayland, his commits frequently lead to very blatant regressions that are nontrivial, etc.) and ideological (his terrible, awful politics and motivations for making the project, to begin with!)
The reason I replied to your comment is mostly out of idle curiosity and a deepseated longing for genuineness and critical thinking of other people that I have not yet managed to kill (despite its impracticality in the modern age).
Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don’t agree with that, you miss the all point.
This is all such a massive and disheartening reduction of what software freedom is. I hope that you eventually manage to think less shallowly about this.
Tell me, do you have any particular, material distinction you are making by making a choice between desktop protocols? The desktop protocol is a purely technical thing, and I have not heard a single peep out of you in regards to specifics.
To elaborate, in Xorg, it is a very monolithic beast. It is very convoluted in its purview and carries a lot of preset implementation of its various facets. It contains an entire networking stack for deciding how to communicate windows over a network.
It is significantly less flexible and modular than Wayland, because in Wayland basically everything of significance is decided by the compositor.
This, ironically to your point, actually gives you more choice and freedom in how things work (this is also why tiling window managers love wayland to death, it's pretty easy to just build upon the basic wlroots implementation!). So I have to ask you, frankly, what in the fuck do you think you're actually saying right now?
The issue, in this way, is that you only seem to care about software freedom in the sense of the abstract concept rather than the reality. Which is impractical, and arguably antithetical to the very process of trying to foster software freedom to begin with. As evident by literally everything to do with this situation. My lord.
What is there to fear? Seriously. Pretending like this has anything to do with fear is the most childishly narcissistic framing possible. Grow up.
Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he's worn out his welcome in many others.
And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It's pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is "anti-DEI" are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.
Listen, I was willing to ignore your low-level insults until now, because I know that
people tend to say things they don't really mean when they are upsed, but THAT
uggly thing on the end is totally inacceptable! I find disgusting ALL kinds of tyranny,
so don't you dare presuming such horrible thought. I demand a full retractation and a
public apology!
If you don't know the distinction between refraining from having a moral judgement on
someone you don't really know, and making excuse for anyone, that's your problem.
All of that fuss because somebody want to talk about a software ? The air is toxic around here.
And it was at that precise moment that satire died forever. 🪦

Space is huge and essential to humankind, fuelling knowledge, supporting our economies and driving global prosperity. None of this would be possible without reliable access to space.
Since 1979, Europe has relied on the Ariane rockets and Vega series to launch its missions. Today, with Ariane 6 and Vega-C, ESA ensures Europe's autonomous and independent access to space. But we are also looking ahead. With the Ariane Smart Transfer and Release In-orbit Ship (ASTRIS), Phoebus, P160C boosters, the MR-10 engine and more, ESA is enhancing its rockets with new innovations that improve cost, performance, capability and sustainability.
ESA is also leading the way in developing new propulsion systems to power the European launchers of the future. In collaboration with industry, ESA is supporting the development of new technologies to be used on rocket, boosters, upper stages, landers and spacecraft.
Initiaves like Boosters for European Space Transportation (BEST!), Technologies for High-thrust Re-Usable Space Transportation (THRUST!) and Future Innovation and Research in Space Transporation programme (FIRST!), are advancing key technologies for reusable boosters, engines and other innovations crucial for the future of space exploration. ESA's Space Rider is a reusable spacecraft and robotic laboratory, designed to stay in low Earth-orbit for two months and return payloads to Earth. Themis is a prototype for testing reusable rocket technologies, including vertical takeoff, landing and reuse, powered by the Prometheus engine.
The future of space transport extends beyond Earth launches, with in-orbit operations, transportation systems to support satellite servicing, orbital refuelling, and payload transfers between orbits.
To support all of this, ESA is upgrading its ground support and Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, to accommodate more launches.
Through programmes like ‘Boost!’ ESA is empowering the European Space Industry, supporting innovative companies which are creating new launch services. The European Launcher Challenge is shaping a competitive European launch sector for the future, strengthening Europe's autonomous access to space.
