I find this minimalism strangely appealing. Unfortunately, I do not live on a farm. I hope this thing is useful to those who do, though.
Steal some of the oil. Replace it at correct stoichiometric ratio with ammonium nitrate or some other powerful oxidiser. Attach a detonator and tracking device to the ship. Don't tell the crew. Let the crew go free. When the ship reaches its destination, detonate. Halifax explosion, round two.
Fuck you, whoever would buy Russian oil.
Just as long as everybody remembers that fighting ideas with ideas only works when everybody is honest.
You may not be aware, but this is a very tired talking point from the propaganda departments of empires everywhere and I'm so far beyond tired of hearing it. So is everybody. It even has a name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
The empires use it to shut down all criticism of anything they do. That is why everybody here is reacting to you the way they are.
Seems like a waste investing so much in the U-235 cycle. Aren't the thorium and U-238 cycles better? Like, more compact footprint, simpler design, more scalable, doesn't need to be located near a large body of water etc.
Those under 16 will definitely see this as patronising. In a way, they're right. Social media is bad for everybody—not just young people. It needs to be destroyed.

Firefox "tabs" in a tiling WM
(sopuli.xyz)
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:
/* 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;
--urlbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
:root {
--tbh: 26px !important; /* ToolBar Height. Adjust this one. */
--toolbarbutton-inner-padding: calc((var(--tbh) - 16px)/2) !important;
--toolbarbutton-outer-padding: 0px !important;
--toolbar-start-end-padding: 0px !important;
--urlbar-margin-inline: 0px !important;
}
Put this file at <profile root>/chrome/userChrome.css.
You'll probably have to make the chrome directory.
Then, in about:config, set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true, to get firefox to read userChrome.css.
Oh, and don't forget to tell firefox to open new pages in new windows instead of new tabs.
I have also found it useful to map the firefox command to Super-C, so that I can make a new firefox window without needing to have some other firefox window already in focus.
I have also found it useful to keep an empty firefox window open in some unused workspace on its own, so that after I close what I didn't realise was the last open firefox window, firefox does not close entirely.
Those quote marks around the 'wins' are just great.

A slightly eccentric physicist's EDC

- An all-black LAMY Safari fountain pen filled with a mix of water, Platinum carbon black, and inkjet printer ink.
- A blank sheet of A4, folded in half three times.
- My passport.
- A fully loaded Secrid card carrier.
- A really nice rock. It has been in my pocket for a year. Don't think about it.
- A dumb watch. (Casio W-59. Very small, light as a feather. Green LED-backlight LCD display. 50 metre water resist. Tough, within reason. Effectively infinite battery life.)
- A beta of the PinePhone Pro, equipped with dreemurrs archlinux.
- A USB drive containing all of my computers' boot partitions and Archiso.

My brother once shared an rdio playlist with me. I used the firefox dev tools to download all of the songs to my library. A few months later, rdio shut down. To this day, a piece of rdio lives on on my hard drive.
Interestingly, even Pine64's smart watch requires you to silly cone glue the two case halves together if you want it to be waterproof. It does give you that option, though, which is cool.

Build a fucking electric high speed train from Windsor through Toronto to Montreal. Obviously. Until this happens, Canada is simply not taking climate change seriously.
