US envoy Kellog assures us that Ukraine will be at the table in the peace negotiations, just not specifically sitting on it 😂

Miami born Daniel Noboa, following his god-king Trump, announces tariffs on Mexican imports. He even copies Trump "they're not treating us fairly" excuse, and cites that Mexico is abusing ecuatorian producers.

In 2024, the trade balance between both countries accounts for merely $108M USD in favor of Mexico.

The main product Mexico exports to Ecuador is medicine and chemicals used to produce medicaments.

This comes the day after he proudly announces a trade agreement with Canada 😅 Noboa is giving a masterclass on 21th century compradorism.

If the nazi salute and the daily dogwhistles on twitter weren't enough, Elon musk slams the desk declaring himself a proud nazi by denouncing multiculturalism.

wf-recorder is an utility to record your screen for wayland, can be piped with slurp to only record a section of your screen.

one thing that it's missing is an indicator for an ongoing recording, so i was wondering if anyone had some sort of indicator implemented with it.

i ain't gonna lie, this is very funny

Any 3d printing nerd that can point me in the right direction? The amount of brands out there is overwhelming.

Some key takeaways:

• NATO represents 55% of the global military spending, while only representing ~20% of the global population.
• An increase in military budget comes with a decreases of budget in education, healthcare, etc which will inevitably lead to worsening of living conditions.
• Saudi Arabia and Israel continue being the largest military spenders in the Middle East.
• 37% of Ukraine total GDP goes to military spending.

This is something that i've noticed in my job as an industrial farmer.

When growing chickpeas we use an special implement to cut the chickpea plant at a certain stage of growth to accelerate the drying process. By doing this you stop the natural cycle of the plant and thus the grain does not develop as much as it would by just letting it complete it's cycle. But the grain dries much faster and is ready to be harvested earlier.

So why do we do this? It's because the grain prices are better the sooner you harvest, so you make more profit by using more fuel to cut the plant and losing production. So every grower is racing others to harvest as soon as possible (some even start planting much earlier than the ideal date) and losing a lot of actual grain production by doing so.

So in summary; we use an extra implement, use extra fuel (imagine the amount of fuel used in tens of thousands of hectares...) AND get less yields because the market incentivizes us to do it.

EDIT: Forgot to say that by not accelerating the harvest process, you risk that grain buyers bins reach their max capacity and no one buys your grain!

Just a rant since i dont have anyone to talk abt this.

So i work in agriculture and inherited a warehouse that its a freaking chaos, full of rats, rusty tools, scrap metal, dirty buckets, broken pallets, sacks, etc... And i am completely overwhelmed, i dont know where to even start cleaning this shithole.

To start i want to deal with the oil mess, my ideas so far are to get a big container for used oil ( right now its all spread on dozens of buckets all around the place ), and transfer the oil to the big container ( how do i get rid of this..).

But then i am left with dozens of dirty greasy buckets so id have to clean each one with water and soap(?), but is it safe to throw the dirty water+soap+oil mix on dirt afterwards? If anyone has suggestions, im all ears.

Fucking hate the last generation obsession with hoarding.

Thoughts and ideas on FOSS software that needs to be done. Personally i've been thinking on working in an offline marxist.org (like arch-wiki-docs)
