An Air Quality Advisory has been issued for the Bay Area today. Smoke from the Flat Fire, burning in southwestern Oregon, is drifting in from the north. Hazy skies will be visible across parts of the Bay Area today.

Seems like a bad day to be doing that… What if there was some way to spare the air?

Smoke from control burning in several areas of southern Sonoma County Tue - Thurs will be very visible in Marin. On Weds, 100 acres of grass will be burned near Sonoma raceway.

@jesse_squires Might be worth a note that the app _is_ in the same key namespace as any libraries it includes, and so a well-behaved library would take steps to avoid any conflicts.

Quick! While we have the radar up!
Here's the latest from our beloved KMUX who is working so hard this evening and will need to be shut down again soon. As it currently looks, the bulk of this line will stay mostly to our north and west.

someone wasn’t paying attention on this holiday weekend, or maybe the “Additional Tools” have changed a _lot_?

[Dan Jackson @_danj_]

sure wish I could change the screen rotation during setup / migration

Hello friends,

Have you been hitting your limits, but still want more wx information?

Did you know you that there is NO LIMITS to viewing our weather forecasts at https://t.co/VsJ8NvZ4Ga or on NOAA Weather Radio?

just a taste of our UNLIMITED enthusiasm for WX info

Makes sense to me, since I bought an ASD last week hoping it’d be good for 10+ years

Is Apple working on new monitors? https://t.co/zkxZcrmiaV

I’m told Apple is working on multiple next-generation monitors, including a large-screen panel with an iOS device chip and software stack. The idea is that the screen could double as a Mac monitor and a smart home display with a low-power mode. But I don’t believe a launch will occur until next year at the very earliest. Right now, Apple sells two monitors: its 6K Pro Display XDR and 5K Apple Studio Display. The pricier 6K monitor obviously presents far better color and overall quality compared with the consumer-oriented Studio Display, but it lacks some of the newer features like a video camera and an A-Series chip.

That’s a _lot_ of code running unrestricted in the application’s address space.

There are now over 1,000 Obsidian plugins 🥳

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

DOJ just released the report from its two-year investigation of the Minneapolis police department.

Here's a thread of notable excerpts.

This first one happened *while a DOJ investigator was on a ride-along.*
