Mais uma cientista brasileira notável, Dra. Mariangela Hungria, microbióloga do centro de pesquisa de soja da #Embrapa, passou décadas estudando bactérias que retiram nitrogênio do ar e o alimentam até as plantas.
O resultado: o Brasil passou da importação de fertilizantes nitrogenados para se tornar o maior exportador de soja do mundo – usando micróbios em vez de produtos químicos.
Seu trabalho ganhou o Prêmio Mundial de Alimentação de 2025. Mas o prêmio real é a redução de 40% no uso de fertilizantes sintéticos em toda a agricultura brasileira.
Não se trata apenas de soja. Trata-se de um modelo diferente de agricultura: fazer parceria com a biologia em vez de dominá-la.
As mulheres do Sul Global tem muita coisa para ensinar ao mundo!

Instead of defending the use of LLMs for polishing up your writing, we could be advocating for unpolished writing. Blog posts with spelling errors and awkwardly repeated words. Emails that sound a bit less warm and professional because you forgot the preamble of "Apologies for the late reply, hope you're well! Thanks for the thing last week".
If there's no budget for a human editor, why should the text meet a "professional" (middle class, formally educated) standard? Dyslexic people can just write how they write and people can deal with it. Autistic people can just say what they mean to say and not waste energy on the double empathy gap.
We can learn to read for a more inclusive world, instead of wasting the planet's diminishing resources masking our differences.

I've been working on a little something for the past few days, and it's finally usable 😁
![media-1]
introducing…. gopher.tal!
codeberg.org/notchoc/gopher.ta…
it's a lightweight (~3.2kb) gopher client that tries to be as unsurprising as possible
features:
- clickable and tab-focusable links
- keyboard scroll and screen resize
- support for gopher-search
- special port numbers (still gotta speak gopher)
would you be better off using w3m/bopher? probably
is this still a web browser written in assembly? hell yeah!

Hallo Server Admins, ich habe mir bei Hetzner so eine Storage Box geholt. Darauf möchte ich tägliche Backups meiner MariaDB Datenbank machen. Die Frage ist nur, wie am besten? Je mehr ich im Netz zu diesem Thema suche, um so verwirrter bin ich.
Daher meine Frage an das Fediverse: Wie ist das beste Vorgehen bzw. welche Lösungen sind für einen Anfänger bei diesem Thema zu empfehlen?

Good morning.
Got a call from LBC in London asking if I could come on the radio in 20 mins to talk about the Tangerine Tyrant saying he's going to release all the US UFO files.
Reluctantly agreed, because it's yet another bullshit distraction from some other files.
Good news: presenter was the very sensible Matthew Wright & he agreed that it's all distraction & conspiracy theory wibble.
Better news: he effusively mentioned Space Rocks during the intro 🖖🙂🤘

It's the last of the #cats I've photographed last year, that looks more or less calm ('cos it's sleeping, or, at least, pretending). 😺 All of the rest look somewhat unamused or grumpy. 😾 Maybe I've caught them in inappropriate moment or they just were in bad mood that day. Anyways, it's #caturday, and some more to go, I guess. 🐈⬛

Music for today. The song that got Brandon Acker into Baroque music. "Music for a while" by Henry Purcell, with years 1659-1695 given. I guess those are the years he lived (he didn't live very long, did he?) so this piece was presumably written in that time frame. So at least 330 years old. Brandon Acker on the lute with Reginald Mobley on the vocals.

@pluralistic Could you say more about your editing workflow? I've been plotting something similar.
You talk about Ollama as an LLM, but it is just a server for running LLMs. I'm curious about which model(s) you've been using and how you set the context window and input for longer articles or books. Do you chunk the content first?

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.
#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.
My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

On Linux however, the system invites you to look under the hood and learn how it works. You can inspect the source code for the entire operating system, and there are plenty of resources for learning how any/all of it works.
We'll be giving a talk at the University Of Victoria on the 6th! Tell your friends at UVic 🐇

Merv generally has a focus on sustainability and preservation which I really like as someone interested in archival work.
Anyway, very cool you are giving a talk there. Hope it goes well!
Got dragged into interesting conversations today, I realized that a few people in my surroundings are at a loss when it comes to proofreading without complex toolchains, or an internet connection.
@rek has written an excellent little guide on how to install and use stardict! Give it a shot, it has been my go-to for years. The synonyms support is especially powerful.

You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:
- Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
- C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
- Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.
The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

As long as pirate Services have the better use experience, this sucks.
I also think that the DVB integrations for linear tv suck. Also you need a android device to get proper 4k streaming enabled on certain services.
as much as I like your posts, this one is crap.
Asians use palmoil naturally & they're not obese & don't get cancer etc
Palmoil is only a problem because it's cheap & the Western food industry uses it because of its features. Thoses masses are responsible for deforestation etc
To frame it as bad for your health is almost racist. And it feels like fatshaming.
I am clearly for boycot palmoil but not with this arguments

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •AFAIK, 4K is real and is on the original film, saved somewhere.
The cost to use that film to move into 4K Digital is so costly, compare to expected sales, companies would only just shove in AI and call it a day.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •I had got halfway through before he finally claimed something I hadn't heard before, which is that movies are still being edited in "2K" - which he says is only actually ~2000*700 - even today.
Seems hard to believe, although on the other hand I never bother to .. uhhh... "acquire" anything higher than 1080p (HEVC) since the 4K versions don't really seem to look much better but do take ten times as long to download / ten times the disk space. That would make sense if they really are just upscaled from the same source anyway.
That might also explain why I get more of a sense of detail and realism when selecting 4K on some YouTuber speaking to camera in their home studio than the movies with a million passes of filters and effects smearing everything into a muddy blur...
