Trump’s playbook is all too familiar: issue threats, escalate tensions, spark market uncertainty, then backtrack at the last minute and claim victory. His recent tariff threats against Mexico and Canada were no different, but this time those nations' leaders showed the world how to beat Trump at his own game. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

Claudia Sheinbaum And Justin Trudeau Outplay Trump

Two world leaders just demonstrated how to beat Trump at his own game, and others should follow their lead

Trudeau and Sheinbaum keep doing what they've been doing. Claudia's crackdown on narcos netted about 10,000 arrests and millions of pounds of narcotics the past months. She may get the US finally cracking down on gun smuggling into Mexico which Mexico has wanted for years. Net plus for her.

AP: As quakes rattle Greek islands, brave tourists have Santorini to themselves

ps. AP appears to have come to the rescue of Santorini's mayor, selling this an an opportunity for "brave tourists" to "have Santorini to themselves" 🙄. Have the media really universally lost it?

As quakes rattle Greek islands, brave tourists have Santorini to themselves World Feb 4, 2025 2:40 PM EST SANTORINI, Greece (AP) — The hundreds of earthquakes that have rattled Greek islands on the Aegean Sea are a “seismic swarm” and could continue for weeks before eventually diminishing, the Santorini mayor told The Associated Press on Tuesday — pausing to chuckle as new tremors shook items on his desk.

As quakes rattle Greek islands, brave tourists have Santorini to themselves

Thousands of residents and seasonal workers have left the Cycladic Islands as quakes up to magnitude 5 have been recorded in the volcanic region since Friday.

It's 2025. Apparently we just ignore science when it is inconvenient to economic activity these days.😬

is there an activitypub server that presents a webforum like lemmy but doesn't have its own actor account system?

like people just address this thing from an existing account to start a new toplevel post and then other people just reply from their own existing accounts

did I hallucinate this or what

Note to my future self: if msmtp behaves strange, have a look into AppArmor. Disabling AppArmor for msmtp had mixed results, better write a proper config in /etc/apparmor.d/ and engage apparmor_parser to make it happen... #linux #Note2MyFutureSelf

I lied and finished up the PCB for the input board. Not gonna lie, probably my best PCB layout and routing to date. However, still want to verify all of the pin assignments before I send this out. Should be easier to build than the adapter board. #electronics

RedGate has anxiety issues.

Every few days, they update SQL Prompt and insist on putting a popup to tell me to update to some minor version.

Every few weeks, I have to log in to use the tool because even though I have a year's worth of maintenance, they need to confirm it which adds five minutes to me just trying to do my job.
