Is there a setting that can allow me to keep browsing history on LibreWolf "forever", i.e. without it expiring and getting dumped after some time?

It's not in the settings, but I'm willing to dive into about:config to do it.

I'm working on re-creating a logo we had last year onto this year's #Canvas. The site, complete with template, is linked above!

#Canvas2024

Found this on Mastodon. A "Christmas tree" of flasks with differently colored liquids.

Edit: Added the city of Plantation.

A "BioBlitz" is an event where you go around and make observations of wildlife all around you using the citizen science app/website iNaturalist. The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) runs the "Parks for Pollinators" BioBlitz every September, across the United States, lasting the whole month, and focusing mainly on plants and the animals that pollinate them (mainly insects and birds) in local parks. But you can record observations of any sort of living thing you want, anywhere, as much as you want, anytime.

Here's their homepage for it: https://www.nrpa.org/BioBlitz/ ...but probbaly more relevant is the iNaturalist project for it (click here, or the link at the top). You can use the map to see the various BioBlitzes going on all over the country as part of NRPA's umbrella event. Hopefully, there's one near you!

If there is, be sure to check your local events calendars, because there might be special events on specific days. For example, here in Florida, there are the following BioBlitz events (and some have special events on specific days - I'm not sure about the last three, but you can check yourself):

• Markham Park (special event: September 2, 10am ~ 12noon) (observations also count for City of Sunrise)
• City of Plantation (in Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and Golf Course) (special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am)
• Quiet Waters Park (special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am)
• City of Sunrise (special event: September 9, 10am ~ 1pm, at Sawgrass Sanctuary)
• Miramar Pineland (special event: September 13, 9am ~ 12noon)
• Central Broward Regional Park (special event: September 23: 9am ~ 11am)
• Delray Beach (in Old School Square Park)
• Palm Beach County
• Pinellas County

But, of course, you can go to these places anytime in September to participate -- you don't need a special event.

If you want to participate, you'll need an iNaturalist account, and any relevant observations you make in participating locations will automatically be counted in applicable projects. If you join the project, you'll also get the project's badge displayed on your observation!

GOG is having a "Pixel Worlds" sale, with deals on games (DRM-free as usual, of course) that use pixel graphics. It will continue for two more days and change.

https://www.gog.com/en/promo/2023_pixel_worlds

My personal highlights include the following three metroidvania titles:\ Chasm -75%\ Phoenotopia Awakening -60%\ Timespinner -50%

There are several pages of games on sale; others famous ones include Stardew Valley, the Contra Anniversary Collection, two of the Shantae games, and One Step From Eden (i'm gonna pick up that last one).

So this thing is happening: https://canvas.toast.ooo/

It's hosted by the good folks at toast.ooo and here's a link to the community for this: !canvas@toast.ooo

I was thinking we can get a GOG logo onto here. I've drawn up the attached image as the template I'm using. And I've started painting this with my top left corner being 98,208.

Come join in!

Edit: Modified the image. The exact pixel art is at the top left but I've provided a blown-up version that's probably easier to see. Though you can always just download the image, open it up in MS Paint or something, and blow it up yourself.

I left her a little platform to sit on. And I had to give her a 1-pixel aura because her shirt is white lol.

Anyway you can find her to the left of Hollow Knight.

What details should I add? Or anything else any of y'all would like help on? The platform is exactly seven pixels higher than the pixel beneath Hollow Knight's feet, for what it's worth.

> Can embattled coal-heavy DTEK lead Ukraine’s clean-energy revolution?

Here are some choice excerpts, which the kbin post didn't mention:

> About 100 kilometres from the front lines of the conflict in southern Ukraine, 650 workers building the Tyligulska wind farm dove into underground concrete bomb shelters whenever Russian missiles and drones attacked targets nearby. The crews, clad with body armour, toiled for seven months, much of the time during the dead of winter. They spent roughly one day in five underground when the explosions came too close for comfort. > > By mid-March, the first stage of Ukraine’s newest renewable energy project – 19 turbines with a capacity of 114 megawatts – was completed. None of the workers had been killed or injured, and the turbines began to generate much-needed electricity a few weeks later. During a time of war, when Ukrainian infrastructure everywhere was being turned to scrap by Russian missiles, the achievement was nothing short of heroic.

> [After various woes, from the Russians capturing land with potential for wind and solar development, to much difficulty finding financing,] DTEK’s first bit of good news came last November, when the successful Ukrainian counter-offensive liberated Kherson in the country’s south, allowing a 10-megawatt solar plant in the village of Tryfonivka to be returned to Ukrainian hands. At the same time, DTEK was well on its way to completing the Tyligulska wind project to the west, near Odesa. Using turbines supplied by Denmark’s Vestas, the project is one of the biggest of its kind in Europe, with a total cost of US$450 million. The second stage, to be completed in 2024, will take the capacity to 500 megawatts, when 83 turbines are scheduled to be in place.

> Ukraine exported electricity to Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland before the war and recently resumed those sales as it rebuilt its transmission lines and power plants – its grid is now entirely detached from Russia’s and interconnected with Europe’s. The country has obvious competitive advantages to play the green game. Ukraine has ample land, meaning that it is unlikely to see the NIMBY campaigns that have stalled or crippled many wind projects in Europe. Certain parts of the country have high wind speeds, and the permitting process is faster than in Europe. Add in a relatively low cost of labour and energy production, and Ukraine will certainly have a seat at the export table. It also knows that certain European countries are setting themselves up for power shortages.

It was already bad when the sea surface temperature was well over 90 degrees Fahrenheit last week, but...over 100?

FYI that's hot tub hot, as this other article notes: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/hot-tub-water-temperatures-florida-soar-100-degrees-stunning-experts-rcna96163

This might be record-breaking. In the worst sense possible.

(this is a repost of my own toot, with additional elaboration and minus hashtags)

Once upon a time, this piece of wood was posted somewhere.

Note that I'm wearing gloves when presenting this to you. I highly advise against touching it with your bare hands. The last person who did...well, here's photographic evidence that they lost their mind.

It's almost as if time has stopped for a piece like this.

> An older article related to Tasmanian Kelp Forests. Has sound and video.

Hello! This is my first time using the "threadiverse". I joined this instance because there's a lot of interesting stuff going on on Lemmy and Kbin. I heard about this part of the fediverse only recently, mainly coinciding with the controversy on Reddit, though I've been using the fediverse since even before Twitter got stupid.

Like my profile suggests, I'm into environmental science and policy issues, and have gotten myself sucked into some local native plant groups and doing wildlife observation stuff. I'm also a musician, and I enjoy videogames as well, mainly older ones.

Shown here is the full version of the photo from which I got my avatar. It's my own photo. There's a snapping turtle that can be occasionally sighted at a nearby park. Sidenote: snapping turtles look way more elegant in the water.

OMG I can edit the thread OP! I remember this specifically being impossible on Reddit lol
