Simulated reconstruction of May #Arctic sea ice thickness since 1901. Watch for the last 10 years or so...
Information about this data set is available at https://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/piomas-20c/. Note that it is only updated through 2010 due to ERA-20C forcing.
@otfrom Jist...gonnae no?
Agreed, which is why I said "rage-bait algorithms" as a shorthand for what you get on Twitter, Facebook, and the rest.
But we should recognize that just the word "algorithm" is quickly getting co-opted by popular culture (similar to what happened to brand names like Kleenex, Xerox, and others) to mean "dirty rage-baiting, extremist-generating, privacy-ignoring Internet-surveillance code that controls what I see and who I hate."

CNN: As the US starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help
"...Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation. ..."

This channel is so good.
@Gargron the quality is just mind-blowing!
Good description of the grievance-to-MAGA pipeline here: "The episode aptly demonstrates how Maher and Fetterman represent a troublesome sect of the non-MAGA chattering class — one represented by wealthy people who have had their feelings hurt to the point that they’re now willfully oblivious..."

One of my less favoured aspects of the neurospice of the neurolife is the compulsions. We apparently needed a shop that couldn't wait until tomorrow. I fixed a £120 limit and went to the cheap supermarché first and then onto Tescos (where your mum buys her bestclothes). I had £45 remaining to get all the gluten free, plantbased, special pasta etc. Got to the self checkout and I was at £47 and change. HaHA!, I Sicko'd. And then.... wrong keys no club card. Never fear, for I have an app! Oh, my password is incorrect and I must change it. App no work. Forgot password no work. Try, retry, retry, retry. I'll use an Internet website! NO. Repeated attempts NO. And now the WiFi doesn't work. Restart phone. Explain what I'm doing. Eventually go in through a browser I don't normally use and manage to reset the password that means I have to access my EMAIL on my phone, which I don't normally do..... and then I have to reset my EMAIL password, verifying it by text message. Eventually.... nearly 30 minutes of being at the till.... I got my £3.80 off.
What!
A!
Fucking!
Palaver!
I've left town and started a new life for less.
@darius bread or pastries?
@rose_alibi mostly bread but I'm interested in pastry too
@ahaldorsen ja, det hadde vært greit å slippe The Great Wall of Doctorow når han først setter i gang.
@cmyrland Det er grunnen til at jeg ikke følger han. Når jeg får masse fritid en gang, så skal jeg lage en mini-Doctorow-bot som kun booster postene hans som ikke er svar på andre poster (altså begynnelsen på tråder, men ikke fortsettelsen).
Red Hat's skill packs give AI agents something a bigger model never could: 20 years of institutional memory: https://thenewstack.io/red-hat-agentic-skills-repository/ via @TheNewStack & @sjvn
When Red Hat combines RAG with Agentic #AI, the results are powerful and accurate.

p.s. Thank you to the many people suggesting this should be added to the list:
🌱 @dokuwiki - Easy to use wiki software that doesn't need a database
(And DokuWiki is FOSS too, like all the software on this list).

Here’s a terrible picture of me at IAH, waiting for my flight to #PyConUS.
One day I’ll be better at internet and/or social media-ing.
Actually, probably not. 🤣

The reason so many companies fight against labor unions is not necessary the financial aspect. They often spend more money fighting than they would negotiating. The primary reason is that worker organization threatens the very existence of the managerial and ownership class.
