Mexican president says Mexico will send more water to US but not immediately
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that her country intends to send more water to the United States, but not immediately, even as Donald Trump threatens to raise tariffs by 5% on Mexican imports if more water is not delivered as part of a water-sharing agreement.
Sheinbaum said Mexico is proposing a water delivery this month and another one in the coming years. The proposal will be discussed in a virtual meeting with U.S. officials Tuesday, she said.
Mexico is behind water deliveries to the United States from the Rio Grande River because of drought and pipeline limitations, Sheinbaum said.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on the Decline of U.S. Manufacturing:
“I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist. It wasn’t an accident or a failure, it was a decision by the elites.”
Palmer Luckey explained how the U.S. intentionally shifted away from manufacturing to a “higher value” service economy.
A decision that he says has handed immense power to #China and now threatens the current geopolitical order.
Despite all his talk, this is a trend that Donald #Trump is continuing. #1u

‘Bloodshed was supposed to stop’: no sign of normal life as Gaza’s killing and misery grind on
When Jumaa and Fadi Abu Assi went to look for firewood their parents thought they would be safe. They were just young boys, aged nine and 10 and, after all, a ceasefire had been declared in Gaza.
Their mother, Hala Abu Assi, was making tea in the family’s tent in Khan Younis when she heard an explosion, a missile fired by an Israeli drone. She ran to the scene – but it was too late.
Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children – like Jumaa and Fadi.
They were killed, their mother said, at “a time when bloodshed was supposed to stop”.

In defiant flyover, U.S. F-18 fighter jets enter Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes
Two U.S. F-18 fighter jets flying in tandem entered Venezuelan airspace around noon Tuesday, circling over the Gulf of Venezuela in the latest show of force against the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
The flyover — carried out despite the Venezuelan regime’s possession of a number of Russian-made anti-aircraft batteries — took place less than 100 miles northeast of Maracaibo, Venezuela’s second-largest city. Thousands of Venezuelans tracked the aircraft online through specialized tracking websites, watching as the jets traced a bow-tie-shaped pattern over the gulf.
The fighters remained inside Venezuelan airspace for at least 40 minutes at an altitude of roughly 25,000 feet before heading north and leaving the area.

This one looks like a damn pot. The custom stitch I used, I think, would work better if it were a solid color.
I also think it needs a nice, thick, non-crochet draw string.

Searching for eBook reader solution
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/39848038
I bought myself a fancy new TLC 11 Nxtpaper Gen 2 with a cool e-ink type display. It’s an android tablet and I’m breaking free from Apple.
That means no more Apple Books for my epubs. That also means, I’m now looking for a good solution to annotating epubs/pdfs (mostly highlights) on Android.
I’d loveeee it it had some bring your own storage sync (webdav) or just plays well with the local storage for using syncthing etc.
What are the best options?
If anyone was wondering: tcl.com/us/en/products/mobile/…
11 inch display with 60 hz refresh, but it sounds like regular lcd rather than e-ink? It has an 8000mah battery that it says can run the tablet through a full day, so that's nothing like an epaper tablet. It sounds more like a drawing tablet, as it has a pressure sensitive pen.
Anyway, I've been using Librera FD for reading epubs on Android. Its blurb mentions annotations but I've never tried that feature.
I have an Inkplate 10 e-paper tablet but haven't been using it.
I see, yeah there is something about it in the blurb. How do you like the tablet? Is it responsive? Is it full of Android bloatware? Do you know if it is rootable?
I see there is a 14 inch version that's about $300 and that starts to get interesting. It's not "2nd gen" though. And, I had thought of TCL as a lower tier manufacturer with quality issues, but I hadn't looked into it much.
I like that the tablet has an SD (probably microSD) slot. Don't like that there's no headphone jack. There's plenty of space in those things compared to a phone.
Thanks, it is kind of intriguing though I keep telling myself to just use normal Linux stuff instead of Android. I'd want the 14 inch one which is around $300. Is there any trouble installing F-droid and apps from there?
Alternatives I'm thinking of include Lenovo Yoga laptop (16 inch) and a Raspberry Pi thing with an HDMI monitor (that would be plug-in only but I mostly read at home).

The Fediverse is the network and NOSTR is one of its protocols.
i do not know where you get that impression. antisemitism, conspiracy theories and general racism are soooo common if you just browse one of the public feeds on primal, ditto etc. not to mention like 1 in 5 posts are just bitcoin posting.
we do have instances of fascist chuds on ActivityPub, but they're at least a little less easy to run into if you go to our equivalent of a public firehose like mastodon.social.

in reply to return2ozma • • •It sounds to me like she was sexually harassing him.
I am not bi, but I wonder if bisexual people didn't get the worst name for their sexuality. Because I suspect that most of them simply don't care about the other person's gender. I think they're attracted to the person themselves, regardless of gender. And now that people accept that there are more than two genders, the "bi" in "bisexual", meaning "two" seems overly specific.
But anyways, back to the example at hand, assuming that his type of "bi" means that he cares about other stuff more than gender, it's hard to imagine a worse way to come onto him than to do what that lady did. "I have a terrible personality, now let's see that hard dick."
pwnicholson
in reply to LOGIC💣 • • •Not an expert, but I've always understood that what you're describing is pansexual. I've understood the bisexual is general attraction to both men and women. Pansexual is attraction to any person.
Again, give or take any given person's own chosen labels and attractions that might vary.

I say this as someone who's pan and called themselves bi for most of their life.
So long as you can communicate the sorta people you wanna fuck I think that's the important part.
