Just use a manometer.
Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.
The CCP has the right idea this time. Do not negotiate with economic arsonists.
Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It's the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.
EU whacks Apple and Meta with $800 million in antitrust fines. Meta calls its penalty a ‘tariff’
More of a flick than a whack.
Don't tell me Putin lied... Wow, this must be the first time Putin has ever lied about anything.
Russia is an empire. Straight up, 100%. It should be called the Russian Empire—not the Russian Federation.
(Reminder: "empire" is a bad word lol.)
France's Aix-Marseille University offered a program for scientists "threatened in their research" in America. Europe is sensing an opportunity to attract talent as the Trump administration cuts funding to colleges.
There is no good android fork. Android is garbage. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to contribute to the OS or port a fork like lineageOS to a new phone. Even just compiling android is a massive pain in the ass. Mobile linux, like postmarketOS, is the clear way forward. And not on former android phones, but on phones with open hardware specs, specifically designed to work with mobile linux.
Fake as hell, from an immensely disreputable site. What in the hell is this still doing here?
Trump is sabotaging the US on purpose, for the benefit of his handlers.
Astrophysics team say observation of chemical compounds may be ‘tipping point’ in search for extraterrestrial life
It is vague, but it does rule out "man in a dress and wig". I mean men in dresses and wigs is great and all. They are free to do what they want. They just aren't women, and I will never call them such.
21 billion euros
teehehe
From 2027, all ships are required to use less CO2 emitting fuels, or face penalties. It is aimed at forcing the industry to lower its carbon footprint and not everyone is happy with the deal.
This would be terminally shameful to anybody who wasn't completely immune to shame.
I actually don't care about IP copying. I just wish China would publish what they copied.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but thankyou, CCP.
Finnish happiness is derived from actively not being under the control of that certain fully crazy empire to the east, and enjoying every minute of it. Every new day of independence from the Russian Empire is one more chance for Finland to say to their neighbours, "Nananana na na, hahahaha ha ha." Some of them even say it in Russian: "Нананана на на, хахахаха ха ха. Нас не ебет."
You may need to examine your opinion of the role of taxes in a functioning country.
You're right about corruption, though.
A billion dollars in fines might make twitter unprofitable. In a regular company, that would coerce the owners to make changes. But Musk doesn't own twitter because he wants to make money off of it, at least not directly. What Musk uses it for is control. A billion dollars a year in fines will be worth it to him, as long as it gives him more control.
The only way to deny him this undue influence is to ban it outright or fine him a lot more.
Sparked by a video with millions of views, authorities in Taiwan have kicked off an investigation into how many Taiwanese secretly possess a Chinese ID card that could hold business benefits.
Organizers said they expected more than 10,000 people to attend demonstrations in eastern Saxony state. The far-right Alternative for Germany party is polling in second place ahead of February's federal election.
The social media giant is instead introducing community notes similar to those on Elon Musk's X. The move comes as Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg aims to reconcile with US President-elect Trump.
Disinformation campaigns could push Syria back to civil war – DW – 01/03/2025
A deluge of false or misleading information about Syria has flooded social media. Local and international actors are exploiting preexisting divisions to advance their own aims, experts say.
South Korea: Thousands protest for and against Yoon's arrest – DW – 01/05/2025
Pro and anti-Yoon protesters are demonstrating meters apart, in severe cold, as the impeached president's arrest warrant is set to expire at midnight local time on Monday.
Sharaa says it could take three years to write a constitution and longer to establish voting integrity.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov was the head of Russia's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops. Authorities said the explosion was caused by a bomb hidden inside an electric scooter.
NBC Meet the Press - May 12 - Sec. Blinken, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Lindsey Graham
Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins Meet the Press to discuss his department’s report on Gaza — and whether Israel is violating international law. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) reacts to the White House’s pressure on Israel and talks about his re-election bid. Sen. Lindsey Graham talks to Kristen ...
Firefox "tabs" in a tiling WM
In the image, these are not tabs. These are firefox windows, being rendered as tabs (and as stacks) by sway.
I just switched to sway, and found that browser tabs no longer make sense. They were designed in the UI dark ages to make up for how terrible Windows XP's WM was. Now, though, sway can do tabs just as well as firefox can, and sometimes, even better. It is better to unify the management of all windows under a single WM, rather than this ad hoc mixture of the real, global WM, and a fake firefox-only (or terminal-only) WM. That way, all windows are managed with a single set of keyboard shortcuts.
I also found firefox's toolbar to be way too thick.
So, I used userChrome.css to hide the tab bar and adjust the toolbar's height:
undefined
/* Hide the tab bar. */
#TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
/* Adjust the toolbar height. */
#urlbar-container {
--urlbar-container-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
#urlbar {
--urlbar-toolbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
This is (another!!) one of Drew Devault's projects. Like harelang, it would be a gigantic simplification of existing software. And yes, it is written in harelang.
It was originally a test to see whether harelang could be used for OS development. (It can.)

The full investigation can be found here https://palace.navalny.com/ This video was recorded by Navalny before his return to Russia, but we decided to publish it afterward: Alexei didn’t want the main character of this investigation — Vladimir Putin — to think that we are afraid of him and that we ...
Navalnyi's finest hour.
May he rise again in three days.
Russia's opposition leader and most prominent Putin critic Alexei Navalny "lost consciousness" and died, Russian officials have said. Navalny was serving a prison sentence in a remote Arctic penal colony.
This one isn't in plaintext this time. I learned from last time that there are issues displaying plaintext on a phone, where there isn't any guarantee of 80 available columns. I thought that wasn't a tall order, but it turns out, it is.
Also, I really wanted links.
And I'm sorry I was so late in posting this. I have trouble finishing things...
