Where / How do people find out about solar activity level?

Someone mentioned it was meant to be G4.

Is this published somewhere?

Mozilla fires 60 people to “focus on bringing ‘trustworthy AI into Firefox.’”

Fuck you, Mozilla. No one is asking for AI in Firefox. Sadly, you’re the best we can hope for under capitalism. So if we want something better, we should look into alternative models.

strypey, to github

Reminder: it really is past time to move your Free Code projects off HitGub, so they aren't helping BorgSoft assimilate people. Anyone wanting to contribute to projects on HitGub now has to either;

  • Give BorgSoft a phone number they can receive SMS on
  • Run HitGub's proprietary mobile app
  • Figure out what TOTP is and how to use it
  • Buy a "security key" and figure out how to use it

@kyhwana@furry.nz avatar

@strypey I don't see how attempting to secure the open source (or closed source) supply chain is enshitification, if anything it is the opposite.
If you can figure out how to use git or github, you can figure out how to use TOTP or use passkeys. (Which don't require the github app)

kyhwana,
@kyhwana@furry.nz avatar

@strypey yeah, you did..

oop, massive X4.08 solar flare, first solar flare of the year!

(R3 radio blackout in effect on the sun facing side of the earth. I watched 10m ft8 just disappear and there's still nothing like 20 minutes later!)

kyhwana,
@kyhwana@furry.nz avatar

Oop spoke too soon, looks like it's peaked at X5.01, that's a chonker of a solar flare..

kyhwana,
@kyhwana@furry.nz avatar

@fastchicken nah, probably not, if there is a CME it probably isnt earth directed given the position of the sunspot that lit off

@Viss It is! It's the official ESR domain for it! (I'm not sure you could get away with that anywhere but here and maybe aussie)

No more trans people in sports or LGBT "ideology" in schools, amongst other shitty right wing things.
