A Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University:
“The Government of Canada could easily decide that it was going to use LinkedIn or Instagram or wherever it posts, and journalists would switch to following them there because they want to access what they’re saying,” he continued. “There was zero audience for Truth Social when
Trump created and started using it, but the audience went to the politician. Carney and his government could take a principled position by leaving X and its horrible spawn, Grok, and his audience of journalists and politicos would go with them.”
“Apparently, our political leaders simply choose not to.”
YES!! #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon
As always a huge thank you for the Senator's @… ongoing activism. It WILL happen. (and by it I mean, government going to the social web... Bluesky is just a temporary blip until it too goes fascist or we get some proper digital sovereignty laws in place.)

STM32MP2 update: slowly working on getting stm32-cpp ported over. It's now failing to build because I haven't implemented any of the RCC code paths to turn on I2C, timer, or GPIO blocks, so that at least should be straightforward.
All of the peripherals are close to STM32H7, but with some extensions and new features in most cases (all of them have an IP identifier and version ID which is handy and I wish they had put this on their older parts too).

We have too much snow where I live. Going to the train this morning felt like walking in a maze of snow. The 'true detective 3' feeling. Apparently it has been continuing to snow during the day so now I hope that I'll make it home from the train station

Wildfires are polluting the air far more than thought #environment

Wildfires are polluting the air far more than thought
Scientists have discovered that wildfires release far more air-polluting gases than previously estimated. Many of these hidden emissions can transform into fine particles that are dangerous to breathe. The study shows wildfire pollution rivals human-made emissions in some parts of the world. This helps explain why wildfire smoke can linger and worsen air quality long after the flames are gone.

I hope traditional roguelike fans who follow me here have been following the progress I've boosted here and there about @…'s ZAngband variant 'ZMAngband' he's been working on based on the original red box D&D rules.

Elasto-viscous regime in coalescence of viscoelastic droplets
We report a regime transition in the coalescence of concentrated polymeric droplets in a pendant-pendant configuration. While Newtonian droplet coalescence has been extensively studied with distinct identification of viscous and inertial regimes, the presence of polymers introduces additional regimes governed by elasticity and molecular relaxation effects. The coalescence process is typically characterized by the neck radius, $R$, of the liquid bridge connecting the two droplets, following a po…
