EPA Approves Use Of Napalm As Pesticide
WASHINGTON—Saying they saw no reason to limit any potential agricultural use of the flammable combination of gelling agents and gasoline, officials at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved napalm as a pesticide Friday. “Following a thorough review, the EPA has found that napalm, with its ability to burn at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, is highly […]

I’m after recommendations for new Bluetooth earphones for running/gym use. My beloved Plantronics BackBeat Fit set is slowly dying. Reviews for the current version of these seem pretty negative.
My main criteria is that they don’t cause an allergic reaction! I don’t know what causes it (nickel is commonly suggested, as are various compounds in the plastic). Headphones that are problematic:
Apple AirPods
Shokz
Bose
Headphones that are OK:
Plantronics backbeat fit
Sony WH1000-XM3 and XM4
So if you suffer from a similar reaction and have found headphones that work for you, I’m (as they say) all ears…
Boosts appreciated 😀

My first server was Apache on Suse Linux, in yr 2000. I've since deployed numerous webservers, many high traffic
Never guessed I'd one day be deploying a web project almost entirely for bots.
This is a view under the hood; the web is now more bot than human.
Our ideas, expressions, work, are being stolen for simulation & profit by a handful of companies, & at a scale comparable to deep-sea trawling.
It is our moral imperative to fight back.
This illusion was new to me. Does whichever dot you look at turn more purple?
Pretty neat how clearly this lets you see the reduced sensitivity to blue light in the very centre of your vision.

It's the final weekend for signing the #WaterNotCoal petition. Many locations are available across #Alberta. Let's push this sucker well over the 178,000 so #coal proponents finally get the idea that Alberta will not tolerate more coal production. Please boost and remind your friends time is running out!

Update. "Demand Is Booming for New No Tech, Repairable Tractor."
https://www.404media.co/demand-is-booming-for-ursa-ag-new-no-tech-repairable-tractor/
Brilliant solution to a real problem. Subtract user-hostile tech.
"Alberta’s #UrsaAg says that it has been inundated with demand after announcing its tractor, which costs roughly half as much as a #Deere and has the benefit of not being a repair nightmare. We have for years covered the frustration that farmers have felt as they have been locked out of their Deere tractors with digital rights management [#DRM] systems that prevent them from fixing their machinery, tractors that won’t run because of minor sensor failures, and crops that literally die on the vine as they wait for an “authorized” repair person to fix tractors during critical harvesting periods."
The @EUCommission just released a statement positioning open source as central to #Europe’s #TechSovereignty.
We couldn’t agree more. #OpenSource is critical to a robust and independent society.
