A new photo editor option just landed, and it looks like a strong contender for an Adobe Lightroom replacement. Node based editing workflows and color grading support for still images now in #davinciresolve

NASA needs to launch another rocket, and quickly. I don't think I can take a return to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

California AB 2047: The End of Open Source 3D Printing

California just introduced a bill that doesn't just regulate "ghost guns", it mandates a digital kill switch for every 3D printer sold. California AB 2047 requires "blocking technology" that connects your printer to a government-approved database before every single print. If the system goes down, or your file is flagged, your hardware becomes a paperweight.

This isn't just about firearms. This is the death of Open Source. If this bill passes, it effectively bans Marlin, Klipper, and Orca Slicer, forcing every manufacturer to lock down their firmware. It turns general-purpose computing into a walled garden where you only rent permission to use the hardware you own.

All the donor-funded foundations ought to be fighting against and speaking out against this Orwellian garbage.

In 2020, we all took some solace in the Nature is Healing memes, even the silly ones. But the thing is, with even the slightest nudge in the right direction, even the smallest relief from our boot on its neck, it does. Nature does heal and reclaim.

We knew salmon were returning to Upper Klamath Lake after the dam removal there. But now we know they are breeding, and making the first natural hatchlings there in over 100 years. This is great news.

Chinook salmon found naturally hatching in Upper Klamath River for first time in a century

The Klamath Tribes are celebrating evidence of Chinook salmon spawning in Klamath River tributary.

Big update for #MobiFlight v11, and it looks great! MobiFlight allows flight simmers to build custom Arduino-based button boxes and switch panels, then connect them to #MSFS and other #FlightSim-ulators to activate control surfaces and switches in sim. Supports anything from a simple warning LED to full "sim-pit" cockpit builds.
