idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.

[moniquill]

Yes this but also: relearn preservation skills!!

You can have tomatoes in January if you dried/froze/canned/pickled them in July!

[cedricredwood]

Double also: getting in touch with heirloom varieties and growing traditions again! You can have tomatoes in march that still taste and feel fresh if you seek out the right hanging storage varieties - a guy named Hans Fama has been in the spotlight lately for developing / re-finding some of those breeds, but delicious storage varieties exist for most crops, especially the ones humans have been domesticating and nurturing for millennia... combined with chilling and refrigeration techniques, you get cool facts like that even most "fresh" supermarket apples are over a year old before they get to you!

Heres another long shelf life tomato that can last up to a year, this time a Spanish Ramallet. My first experience with long shelf life tomatoes was in Catalonia many moons ago, and I've been obsessed ever since. #tomatoseason #storagetomatoes #ramallet #tomatesdepenjar #tomatesdecolgar #tomaquet #spanishfood #italianfood #tomatogirlsummer #heirloomtomatoes #spanishtomatoes #tomatocollector #tomatobreeding #vegetablebreeding #gardening #farming #pancontomate #sofrito #spanishcuisine #cucinaitaliana #cocinapobre

For my fellow southwest US and central Mexico friends, I highly reccomend seeds from Native Seed Search: https://www.nativeseeds.org/

native seeds search arid-adapted heirloom seeds from the southwest

Native Seeds Search is a non-profit that conserves and sells heirloom seeds, foods and Native American art and jewelry from the Southwest. W

The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.

[str-ngeloop]

the romance of hand-plotting. this guy looked at the numbers and drew each of those dots manually, and the image emerged. we can only imagine how he felt

[ace-bug-trainer-cj]

I am wildly more obsessed with this than I expected to be

I have to add that gender euphoria for cis people doesn't always come from like, conforming to your gender in a "stereotypical" way

I've always been very comfortable with my gender but I didn't Really Like being a woman until I cut my hair short and started dressing/presenting more "masculine."

When i realized that I could look "manly" as a woman I truly felt comfortable and really...more "like" a woman. I enjoy being masculine and it strengthens my connection to womanhood and it's just kinda cool

People need to understand that the point ISN’T “being single is not a failure if you’re aromantic”, the point is being single is not a failure full stop.

You can be allo and be single; it’s allowed. You feeling attraction doesn’t mean your priority NEEDS to be finding romance (it can be! But it also can not).

Being single should be normalized no matter what your romantic/sexual orientation is. It isn’t a tragedy.

Remember! When companies lay off all their staff because AI is cheaper, this sort of shit is what you can leverage for a better contract when they are inevitably forced to hire everyone back :)

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

[aeyriabird]

sorry to post religious ads but i got this ad

and i can't get over how the artist/graphic designer clearly went in knowing they were replicating classic holy white bird imagery and did a decent job with the editing too, except they either don't know what a dove is, don't know that the bird being specifically a dove matters, or just got real lazy and chose the first all white bird that came up in search results because that is fully a seagull in that image

GOD IS COMING FOR YOUR FRENCH FRIES

[dduane]

Plainly these people have NEVER been in Dublin.

The Big White Birds are NOT the fecking Holy Spirit. They are the Thing From Above That Steals Your Pizza.

And not just your pizza.

Your hot dog. Your burger. (They sit on the buildings outside the McDonald's in Grafton Street... waiting. Watching.) Your fries. (They'll swoop down out of the clear blue and make off with the whole bag.) Your sarnie. (They lie in wait around the various Prets in town.) Your ice cream cone. Your juice box. YOUR PHONE IF IT HAS A FOOD-COLORED CASE. (And when this proves inedible, they will drop it in the Liffey. Because, well, fuck you.)

They walk/stalk the streets, unafraid. (They became unafraid during COVID when there were too few people in the streets to chase them away.) They walk right up to you and stare at you in the "Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?" kind of way. When you run at them, they do not fly away. They just back away and then walk right back.

I saw one (apparently thinking the guy was holding a coffee?) try to steal a gent's pint one time. It veered off, shouting, with an expression suggesting that it thought it had been cheated somehow and was looking for a manager to complain to.

If the holy Shekhina Herself should descend on me looking like THAT, I would tell Herself to fuck right off and come back looking less, you know, like she wanted to rip open the garbage bag of my soul and fling the wrappers around in the fucking street. FFS Woman.

(mutter) Welcome to Dublin. Walk warily. And if the feminine aspect of God presents Herself to you, don't get careless. Until you're sure Who's appearing to you, DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR PIZZA.

[ohhfarts]

In San Francisco they will purposely shit on your food so that you abandon it and then they will eat the food. A seagull is not here to play.

In WWI, a tradition in German regiments was to photograph the tallest and shortest member of the regiment side by side. These photos were then often sold as postcards.

[hoodiegal]

I love how in most of these the tall person looks happy or neutral and the short person looks like they're considering the consequences of killing the camera man

having a headache while hydrated is so unfair. you were supposed to protect me.

"rickrolling is mean" rickrolling is the gentle, kind, prosocial descendant of what we used to do on the internet, which was putting a redirect to goatse in every possible misspelling of a url

[astercontrol]

Rickrolling is deceptive, but it's among the most harmless forms of deception available

in other words, it may tell a lie, but it will never tell a lie and hurt you

[brown-bear-64]

Puritan culture, which has been experiencing massive growth this decade and is often driven by young people, really hates even innocent forms of bullying or deception, due to their black-and-white world view and thinking that even something meant for fun could be harmful to someone and thus needs to be stopped, and it sucks cause these are genuinely fun interactions "that increase human connectivity and foster a positive, fun way of life", according to Elizabeth Caine Brooks

The long and short of it: Keep rickrolling forever and ever to stay happy

[nudityandnerdery]

From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....

"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."

This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

[rabid-transcendentalist]

[winteriine]

genuinely this reminds me of that one tumblr post about that cult indoctrination technique where they make unreasonable requests of you, and when you refuse, suddenly it’s YOUR fault for having a sense of self-care. it’s YOUR lack of commitment, YOUR lack of dedication — not the insane request of a company that does not actually care about you.

the idea that failure is an individual failing and not the oppressions of a broken system.

this is just flat-out manipulation. it really always has been, but this is the form it’s taking nowadays. crazy
