@SeanDNeves That's something I didn't know. The narrative I've seen is that it's all exported to the Middle East and China and we're basically exporting our water.

@grhmc It's AlDente.

Running a battery calibration on my MacBook Pro.

I recently installed BBEdit on my MacBook Pro and noticed this 'S' icon in the menu bar. I thought it surely wasn't AppleScript, since I used that back in the 90s on my Mac LC on System 7 — but yes, it is! Apparently AppleScript is still a thing in 2026.

Apparently Google removed MTE (memory tagging) software (and potentially hardware) support from the Pixel 11 phones, after supporting it since the Pixel 8 (2023).

Looking into getting a dual-port manometer for checking static pressure in my computers and HVAC ducts.

Was surprised to see pitot tubes since I associate them with aircraft — but of course, they're measuring static pressure so it makes sense.

[Bex C @bexbsd]

Trying to see if I can get this information about static pressure to stick this time.

Part of it is for building high-performance computers, part of it for my home HVAC system.

This is sad and disappointing but incredibly important reporting by the Trib here.

I know I'm not supporting this organization any longer.

@SimonFraser4 And when talking about the spec format it’s ideally RFC 3339 not ISO 8601, since the former is free while the latter is quite expensive.

OMG. I had an ionizer on my desk growing up. I wonder if that’s why I got asthma.

Saw this in a school this week.

I quickly went from 😃 ➡️ 😩

Can you guess why?

(Bonus points if you can identify more than one reason)

… I feel like I should be saying “we told you so”. But… we did tell you they were coming after all the LGB after the T… 🤷‍♂️

@cadlam @kmcnam1 I did plain CS and had to do Java. Then in the third year our Computer Graphics course had an assignment in C so they had to quickly teach students who didn’t know it. 🤦‍♀️

I think a few years later they switched to teaching Haskell.

@shaurizard Yeah, but then the defense budget is 1 trillion.

I had so much fun getting to visit @RainmakerCorp this week and meeting @ADoricko! What they’re doing is truly fascinating.

They just produced 19M gallons of water in Alaska via next-gen cloud seeding and are the first company ever to provably produce precipitation in Alaska.

In the future, they want to protect and restore glaciers with man-made snowfall, help restore ecosystems suffering from droughts, and more.

I have zero relationship with the company but am such a fan of their ambitions and it’s amazing to see people using tech to solve our biggest problems. It was so cool to get to learn more and also visit El Segundo for the first time!! 🌧️🙌🏻 Thank u guys so much for having me!!

@SeanDNeves @msconniegrace We visited the Moenave tracks when we did a road trip in 1998.
