> “It’s hard to imagine increases beyond 300,000 to 400,000 barrels a day in the next year, just given the degraded state of the infrastructure, especially the upgraders,” Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs, said at the Goldman Sachs Energy, CleanTech and Utilities Conference.

> U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said on Tuesday that an increased flow of Venezuelan heavy oil to the U.S. Gulf would be "great news" for job security, future gasoline prices in the U.S. and for Venezuela.

You don't make gasoline from heavy sour crude, why can't we have journalists that do their goddamn jobs and call these people out on their lies

With a budget, colleagues and I would:

⚡️Reduce volunteer cash advances for events

⚡️Improve the #OpenZFS test suite and documentation

⚡️Organize East coast USA and European OpenZFS summits

⚡️Continue to improve #bhyve

⚡️Continue to improve community Audio/Video wisdom and equipment

⚡️Consider cloud service backup/export challenges (I got Google Drive mirroring to work!)

The money is out there but is firewalled.

If you believe in these same goals, please reach out to potential supporters.

In 2025 I introduced colleagues to over half a million USD in employment opportunities. Now I am forced to think about myself.

This is the document, Trump does not want you to see.

In 1916, under President Woodrow Wilson, the United States signed the purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark, in a convention in which the United States recognised Denmark's right to the whole of Greenland.

Danish MP's of The Defence Committee will convene in the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at 18:00 to discuss the defence of Greenland.

Full text: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUT…

In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respect- Greenland recognized. ing the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, duly authorized by his Government, has the honor to declare that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

@bdorer Firstly, yes, please provide issue numbers, it makes checking things 100% easier. There has been conversation here recently about terminal issues, I'm guessing this is related to that (though again - links to issues please!) - and thirdly, to the other tricky part - as you hinted to - the majority of issues don't affect every user all the time - meaning some may never have an issue, even in the same program. We do try to prioritise those which affect the most users.

several people reporting lately that #deltachat has become their main app: They are now spending more time in the chats, also with web apps, than in any other app. It may be a turn to more private communications when social media has become more toxic, obnoxious and dangerous in many places?

#deltachat and #chatmail.is indeed about being readily available when other forms of communications become unavailable or dangerous like in Iran or Russia but also in western and other countries.

I have been trying to figure out what to post here about ICE activity today in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro. It is just •batshit• out there.

Some admin mucky-muck is in town today (Noem, I think?), and ICE is putting on a full We Are A Big Fascist Deal theater show. The result of this is chaos: ICE caravans all over, vulnerable people terrified, less-vulnerable residents dropping their work to keep watch on the streets.

First I was hearing ads on podcasts for Factor Meals. Now I'm seeing ads on Facebook for Factor Meals. I'd bet that, if I posted this on Facebook, then the algorithm would factor my post in and start sending me more ads for Factor Meals. It's a nice thing about Mastodon, that I'm not going to see ads based on what web sites I visit or where I go physically or what I post about. But then I suppose I'm giving Factor Meals free publicity now, although I've never tried one of them.

I used to wonder why someone would snap and drown their kids in the bathtub but after trying to do work and constantly getting interrupted and needing to run errands that end up eating several hours of your day and completely ruining the ability to concentrate on something I think I totally get it -- and I don't even have kids

@pluralistic, over 110 hotels in Quebec are being named in a class action lawsuit submitted a few weeks ago. The suit claims they share crucial information through a common algorithmic pricing software, IDeaS, to drive up prices. Demand has held steady for the last ten years, but average room prices have increased 45% (twice the rate of inflation). Looks like RealPage for hotels.

RE: androiddev.social/@MishaalRahm…

It’s worth repeating. Android is not a viable base for an independent or even just collaborative operating system. Android is Google and only Google’s project.

If you want to see an actually transparent, international, and collaborative system on phones, support @postmarketOS

Wow, #Gentoo moving from GitHub to Codeberg is cool. Haven't run Gentoo for years now but still have a soft spot for it (I learned so much running it as main driver).

I also use Codeberg für my code (and joined the association) but we can't just "move everything to Codeberg". That's neither sustainable nor a good model. We should have more associations like Codeberg to offer those kinds of services. Create a whole web of forges for collaboration while we can watch GitHub go to hell.

As much as Redspot gives me flashbacks to when i was 12 (22 now) I really do miss some of the old elements. Today, I managed to get onto the battlefield (it's a fixed bug now) when I was invited to a team. And the map worked fine. I just wish our suggestions were not behind a wall. Like okay, not every single thing needs to be added. But if not a change, add it as an option. We don't always want to kill. We want to gear up and build. bases, teams, bring back the true Redspot experience!

I would able to shrink curl logo to 898 bytes (if it will be in one line it will be 883 bytes) What was used:

  • not use decimal numbers
  • use a line instead a path poliigon for letters
  • use style to optimize size

A logo is not identical but very close.

Here is code and bellow is an attachment

@NTICompass Thank you. stroke-linecap default value is butt, so we can remove from style for path, remove explisit style for path in tow places and add style stroke-linecap:round only for letters. It will save extra 40B

A modified version is 858 bytes (40 byte less)

Adventures in @thunderbird add-on development.

Motivated by a thread I seen yesterday, I decided to create a #WebExtension that would display pkpass files as inline attachments.

I managed to get all the data from the pkpass files and process them, what is giving me trouble is actually getting a `document` that is not attached to a `window` to work with html2canvas.

Like how to screenshot a document which only exists in memory?

Any clue? anyone?
