To understand why the lake is drying up, scientists analyzed two decades of @nasa’s Terra satellite data.

They found that between 2001 and 2021, fewer days of snow cover and higher surface temperatures led to more evaporation over Lake Albert. https://go.nasa.gov/3kPwsIE

@zleap too much to explain here. And it depends on what they get a PhD in. But 4 years of research experience.

I said bye bye to Twitter today.

@jens Let me just say that I am still happy to work at Red Hat :) Our candidate pool for new hires just become a lot more interesting ;)

You know, as much as I like the Fediverse and I cheer it on -- I don't even see it as the end game.

For me, the end game is P2P tech that doesn't even require the web.

Ideally, there would be self-sovereign, nomadic identity.

Connections would be double opt-in.

I should be able to communicate even if the entire Internet goes down, and I'm forced to connect via Bluetooth or sneakernet.

That's my ideal social media -- but we're not close to being there yet.

Amplifying good news as a counter-balance to my usual gloomy trade in UK politics/Covid.

Community buys Gorne Wood - the closest surviving patch of ancient woodland to the City of London - to protect it from developers.

"Over hundreds of years, gnarly oaks, field maples and even elms have grown there, providing a sheltered habitat for slow worms and endangered hedgehogs, and nesting sites for sparrowhawks, owls and woodpeckers."

Every once in a while, I will try some landscape photography.

This scene at the Linn Cove Viaduct is more popular with the fall colors but I wanted to try something different with everything green and the white clouds in the sky.

The Linn Cove Viaduct is located along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina.

BTW, mastodon has thoroughly eclipsed Twitter as the meeting place for developers and clear-thinking users. I don't imagine you'll see too many more Twitter links from me.
