World News@lemmy.world•China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven yearsEnglish
7·2 months agoYou can’t do corn every year. Corn farmers need to rotate and the primary crop is soy since it replenishes the nutrients corn needs and it is easy and you can sell it (or could)

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•My hot take on the official pronunciation of GNOME
2·2 months agoIn early versions of Linux when manually setting up your sound card, Redhat came with a test audio clip of Linus Torvolds saying “I province Linux as Linux”. Even though it is named after him he did not pronounce it like his name: Ly-nix.

71·2 months agoWhat is wrong with soy? It is great at restoring nutrients in soil. It is full of protein. It is a great meat alternative…

14·2 months agoYou can’t grow corn every year. It depletes the soil of nutrients. We grow soy because 1) it restores soil nutrients 2) it is very easy to plant and harvest 3) it can grow almost anywhere in the US 4) we had a buyer which was china using it as animal feed.
I don’t know that there is another good cash crop we can use for crop rotation.

9·2 months agoI doubt it. We plant soy beans as part of crop rotation, but don’t actually consume them. We sold them primarily to china to use as feed for animals since china primarily uses its soy beans to feed its population. Due to the trade war, china is purchasing soy from other countries. This means every other year, farmers will not have income unless either the US consumes a lot more soybeans or all the farmers agree to use a different crop rotation that has value. But soy beans are easy to plant, do a great job enriching soil, and can grow in most climates in the us.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessionsEnglish
5·2 months agoMy non technical spouse prefers profile to separate work and personal. She uses different themes for each profile so it is very obvious which is which.
Also one of the extensions she likes interferes with a work site she is required to use. She has that extension installed in the personal profile but not work profile.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessionsEnglish
4·2 months agoProfiles can have separate settings which is nice. I heavily use tab containers, but the site used for online grad school requires 3rd party cookies for any of the embedded content to work. So I have a separate school profile that has 3rd party cookies enabled.

5·3 months agoYou can find archives of “bumps”. The adult swim ones are fantastic, but the Nickelodeon ones are good too.
Well, Wayland forces client side decorations which I’ve never agreed with.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.

politics @lemmy.world•What State Has the Most Murders? 2025 Updated List
5·4 months agoLast year’s murder rate in Birmingham was caused by a single person known as the enforcer for a gang. He was finally caught and is being charged with 23 murders over an 18 month period! There are quite a few more he is suspected of!
Edit: fixed autocorrect changing murders to borders and nurses
During the Civil Rights movement, it wasn’t until TV started showing live the treatment from Bull Connor in Birmingham against African Americans that the mood of the nation started to change to be in favor of Civil Rights.
So yeah, more people need to see people being abducted harshly every damn day until this country finally says enough.

2·4 months agoAt least it is getting some press. It has been happening much more quietly in other typically red states to remove any last democratic strongholds.




Yup. When I entered college in computer science in 2001, there was an all your base belong to us joke in it, which means it was at least a year old
