We’ve mistaken complexity for progress — and forgotten how things work. A 41-year-old computer still boots instantly, while today’s “smart” tech buckles.
China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently approved a protein, which is converted from CO2 by bioengineering, as a new feed material, providing a new solution for solving the shortage of feed protein resources and promoting green and low-carbon development.

Monsieur Trump, il mange dans la main des géants du web. La taxe numérique ? Une pichenette pour Google et Meta, ces boîtes plus riches que certains pays entiers. Elles veulent pas se plier aux lois, elles se prennent pour des États, mais en plus gros, avec plus de fric et moins de scrupules. Les gouvernements, pour elles, c’est du vent.
Das von Russland besetzte Atomkraftwerk Saporischschja hat der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEA) zufolge die externe Stromversorgung verloren. US-Präsident Trump will offenbar mit der Ukraine bei der Luftverteidigung zusammenarbeiten.
Mainland China is on track to surpass Taiwan in semiconductor foundry capacity by 2030, according to a report from Yole Group, underscoring Beijing’s progress in its push for chip self-sufficiency amid ongoing US tech restrictions.
There exists a "relationship of forces" in all human endeavors, as my sociology professor said in my college classroom. If we, the middle class, think we can escape the consequences of Trump's spending bill that steals from the poor to further enrich the wealthy then we are deceiving ourselves. We will pay later with higher crime, diminished state services, and widespread disease. We must help the poor to elevate their lives, not sell them out for the crumbs Republicans toss our way.

Unfortunately, I still use DuckDucko too often. But the results there are just as manipulated as with Goo... Just one example: When I search for information about the climate hoax in the search engine, DuckDuckgo only shows me pages that show that the climate hoax is a lie and that the climate must be protected. In contrast, moyeek shows me really critical pages. Try using English or French terms.
I have just checked it, with the search query ‘Klimaschindel’ which means that climate change is deliberately hyped, again only pages are displayed that show that all doubts about climate fraud are fake. These are so-called fact-checks, i.e. the Ministry of Truth, there are no other sites.
While there’s no denying that the verdict in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial was a major win for the defense attorneys, it is also true that the euphoria that overtook the rapper’s camp has greatly subsided.
There is no safe amount of processed meat to eat, according to new research – Egypt Independent
There is strong evidence that there is “no safe amount” of processed meat to eat, nutrition experts say in response to a new study on the connection between diet and the risk of major diseases, including cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The researchers also found elevated risks from the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and trans fatty acids. Researchers…

@walterkirn This is a hallway deep inside the Hoover Dam, which I toured recently. Even the insides of this great structure are epic. (Note the rad mosaic.)
The first time I went on the tour they brought us down into one of the tunnels and other places, the next time I went was post 9/11 and they only brought us down to the generator room my to my chargrin and also making me look like a liar to my friend.
Summer scored a new cow toy last night. She is perplexed because she loves it so much but it keeps rolling away from her. We played ball on the stairs too. Her orange football is finally falling apart. Time to retire it and get out a new one. We might just play all day. Summer says she's game. #Summer #DogsOfMastodon
"Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem announcing Wednesday evening that the group will not agree to give up its weapons, its land, or its right to resist" "Since Israel is actively occupying parts of southern Lebanon, launching airstrikes nearly daily, and launching ground raids against the south, it is unsurprising that Hezbollah isn’t willing to unilaterally disarm"
Efforts to try to get Hezbollah to agree to disarm appear to have failed, with Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem announcing Wednesday evening that the group will not agree to give up its weapons, its land, or its right to resist.
My FICO score will increase and decrease randomly despite me being extremely financially responsible and supposedly doing "everything right", and I am never told why my FICO score increases or decreases or what I'm doing directly to change the score's increases or decreases. I hate it.
I have 3 cards. I do not utilize more than 30% of my credit limit. I pay all my debts on time, often before the statement dates.
My "score ingredients" has remained essentially unchanged for a couple years now, which is broken down saying:
- Payment History: Exceptional - Amount of Debt: Very Good - Length of Credit History: Fair - Amount of New Debt: Good - Credit Mix: Very Good
I mention that these "metrics" have remained unchanged for a long while now because, for example, "Length of Credit History" remains "fair" despite having years of credit history now at this point. When does it move from "fair" to "good", etc..? "Amount of Debt" is only "very good" despite never utilizing more than 30% of what's available to me? I just don't really get it. And, I don't understand why the score would continually fluctuate vs. just steadily increase.
Ah. Do you have a mortgage? That will help you get over 800. I could never get over 800 without one lol. Maybe you need another card? Highly recommend Amex Gold or Green.
I travel to/from the USA and PRC every 2 weeks. The 5x points on airfare purchases alone pays for round-trip airfare like every 4th or 5th trip, especially since I can like "double dip"---get both Delta SkyMiles on the ticket purchases + 5x AmEx points, and the AmEx points 1:1 convert to SkyMiles. Then, the airport lounge access is super nice too, especially as I'm a corporate pilot and frequently commute to/from aircraft around North America when I'm here "state-side" for work (I'm often in commercial airport terminals). So, yes, the Platinum card is great, especially paired with the Gold card where I get the the 4x points on restaurant purchases. All those points inevitably just go to airfare purchases to help supplement my travel expenses.
@verita84 It's because the statement balance on your cards is varying at the time they get reported. $0 reported as statement balance is worse slightly than $1 but otherwise going higher will lower scores.
Both AmEx and my bank allow me to view my scores and they're never aligned; They're always reporting different from one another. Which, also doesn't really make sense to me since I thought the score was kind of the agreement between the 3 major credit reporting agencies? I don't know. I don't know enough about this stuff to make educated statements on the matter. @Zettour
if anyone checks your credit score it also goes down by about 40 points. Youre also not allowed to know the formula or functions that determine your score.
1️⃣🔥 El mar Mediterráneo arde. 30 grados en junio. Peces tropicales venenosos. Noches que ya no bajan de 30º. Y todo esto no es el futuro: es ahora. Abro hilo sobre cómo el capitalismo ha convertido el mar en una sopa ardiente a punto de estallar.
2️⃣ 📍 La boya de Dragonera (Baleares) marcó el 30 de junio 30,55 ºC. Eso no es “calorcito”, es temperatura tropical. Y lo peor es que ocurre dos meses antes de lo habitual. El mar ha perdido el norte. Literalmente.
3️⃣ 🟥 El Mediterráneo occidental está teñido de rojo intenso en los mapas de la NOAA. +7 ºC de anomalía térmica en zonas de Baleares. La media del mar supera los 26 grados. Esto no es una ola de calor. Es un mar en combustión lenta.

Chester: Same-sex penguin couple hatch rare chick at zoo.
Scampi and Flounder, a pair of male penguins, "stepped in to help raise one of two eggs laid by another penguin pair, Wotsit and Peach", the zoo said.
The chicks are said to now be days away from taking to the water for the first time.
Bird experts at the zoo carefully shared the eggs between the two nests to help give both chicks the best possible start and to help improve the chances of successful fledging. #News #GoodNews #FeelGoodFriday #Penguins #LGBTQ

Despite United Nations experts urging British lawmakers to rethink plans to use terrorism laws against the protest group Palestine Action, the punishment of the group is in full swing.
Sur le front de l’Ukraine, c’est pas plus reluisant qu’un frigidaire vide un lendemain de party. Trump voulait régler ça en quelques jours, genre “Salut, c’est moi, on signe où ?”. Résultat ? Il a fait des câlins à Poutine, il a menacé l’Ukraine comme un ado qui menace de bouder, il a rêvé d’un cessez-le-feu… et six mois plus tard, on retient juste une chose : Poutine s’en balance et fait ce qu’il veut.
On dirait même qu’il entend pas Trump parler. Peut-être qu’il capte juste les aigus, comme un chien ? Hier, Trump a jappé au téléphone avec Poutine… et le Russe a répondu en lâchant une attaque massive de drones, comme pour dire : “Ouais ouais, continue de jaser, moi j’ai des trucs sérieux à faire.”
Quand Trump s’impatiente, Poutine lui lance une balle de laine, comme à un chat obèse pour qu’il se fatigue. Un coup Trump grogne et joue au dur, un coup il veut inviter Poutine au G7 pour recréer le G8, comme s’ils allaient faire un BBQ entre potes. Pendant ce temps-là, Vlad s’amuse comme un gamin qui a trouvé le bouton “Reset” d’une console.
Trump has very little understanding of what the Ukraine conflict is about let alone the intellect to solve it. He just wanted a property deal. Our media lies to us yet we believe that the problem would be solved if we simply allowed the coup government to get back to the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine and allow them to join NATO and increase our ability to threaten Russia. The Russian media tells them that they are saving the people of Ukraine from the Nazis that threaten everyone. The problem cannot be solved with a mining contract. The EU should have categorically stated that Nazis are not welcome in the EU and helped support revising the Minsk agreement into something that would work. Everyone would have been better off. But the US wanted a war with Russia and now we have that. No one is going to admit how this started so we cannot even get the discussion to where we are let alone how to solve it. Most of the weapons supplied have been sold on to other conflict zones but not all and the Nazi battalions of Azov, Sich etc. will not stop if an agreement is reached but we say it is Russia that we cannot trust. In this conflict Russia is probably the most trustworthy although I tend to see Putin as 100% the same as Trump, just more articulate.
My final point was that there is no difference between any of them. I am not on a side because I do not see them as different. They are all happy to murder people without a second thought. People die for someone else's ideology. We are 100% as barbaric as the Spanish invading South America. Nothing has changed. I can be in Russia, China, the US, Iran, France - it does not matter. You sit in the town and meet lots of great people whose leaders are animals that kill without a care.
On Monday, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will meet to discuss the next steps in their plan to reshape the Middle East. Their vision includes expanding normalization, disarming adversaries, and ending any Palestinian aspirations for freedom.
Ils rêvent s'ils croient étouffer les revendications des palestiniens. Ils vont encore les faire souffrir mais ce peuple a montré une volonté et une résistance à la souffrance que l'histoire retiendra. Tous les jours des gens font des plans que la vraie vie met à bas,l'Iran en est la dernière illustration.
Trump, la paix, il l’a tellement faite avancer… qu’elle a reculé. Entre ses phrases en mode “plus grand, plus fort, plus beau” et la réalité sur le terrain, y’a comme un léger bug dans le logiciel. Et son image de mec “craint et respecté” ? Une blague XXL. Si ça, c’est de l’autorité, moi je suis Pape.

Folks, maybe you are aware of the matter today regarding some rancid behavior toward Mastodon treasure @GottaLaff. Well, not going to comment on the details. You can easily find it.
What is heartening is the overwhelming degree of support for Laffy, demonstrating the collective power of Mastodon to pull together to defend valued members of our community.
This episode just underscores that what we have built here is precious. Here, we the people, are in control not the billionaires.
It’s hard to convey just how big the new budget makes the country’s immigration enforcement infrastructure. The Bureau of Prisons? Bigger than that. The FBI?
The High Court in London has rejected an attempt to temporarily block the UK government's move to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, following an appeal by the group's co-founder.
No, in Germany they are social-capitalistic, Bevor there was national-social. Next step probably national-capitalistic. But they still look for what this idea could be standing for...
They do put value on things in form of monetizing items, and that's how trouble starts for all of us ... because we;re then forced to play the same dumb game.
No, they are all Dictatorships although most regularly change their dictator (i.e. every 4th year in the US) whereas North Korea, Azerbaijan etc. are Monarchies where the Dictator is hereditary.
Many Americans think that Hawaiians lived in huts prior to colonization. The US didn't liberate, but in fact de-industrialized Hawai'i. Before 1898, Hawai'i already had mass transit, railroads. The city of Honolulu was lit by nationalized, renewable hydropower before the White House had electricity. #July4 #IndependenceDay
Hawaii also had a higher literacy rate than the US, and Europe before colonization, the banning of our culture and language, erasure of our history, and ghettoization. Hawai'ians were also often bi- or trilingual, and world-renowned diplomats. cechambers.com/hawaii-highest-…

Kalakaua, one of our leaders, had invented a sub-aquatic vehicle when Jules Verne was dreaming up 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. He was also the first head of a country to circumnavigate the globe.
The sovereign country of Hawaii had Black citizens before the US Civil War. In fact, US slaves that stepped onto Hawaiian soil were considered free. Asians were full citizens in Hawaii as US chained them up to build railroads & West Coast, under threat of mass-lynchings.

Well, Cook arrived in Hawaii in 1778, so I'm not sure about when "prior to colonization" was meant to be. For sure their technology was limited, as they had very little metal. It's was all technology transfer from the mainland that got them electricity.
