A massive new gas plant in Texas will be built with much less efficient technology than regular gas plants. It’s far from the only data center power project to rely on dirty turbines.

just finished the game after being a big fan of the series but somehow never getting around to playing it after 2 YEARS

my review: 10/10 one of the games of all time

played it really high and missed the little plaza and just talked to the side characters for like 30 minutes before completing like half of the quests

when I got to the pet guy I literally had all of them already 😭

this guy had to be my favorite character, nothing can beat a rotoscoped wizard 😆

As Karoline Leavitt prepares to step down from her role as Donald Trump’s fifth White House press secretary, a brief review of her tenure, and that of her predecessors, makes clear that the most fabulist president in US history prizes one quality above all else in the women and men who speak for him: a willingness to tell outrageous lies.

Leavitt started her tenure by telling a wild falsehood at her very first news conference, when she claimed that the Biden administration had planned to use $50m in taxpayer dollars to send condoms to Gaza. Later the same day, the Guardian reported that the claim was directly contradicted by USAID records.

This trailer has me sooooo hype. Cregger clearly understands the franchise on a fundamental level, for example in this trailer the whole finding the shotgun and searching for the shells, little visual nods to the games everywhere for those with eyes to see them.

My dog got spayed by a skunk like an hour or so ago.

I looked up recipes for cleaning skunk smell...first one that came up was 1qt peroxide to 1/4c baking soda and a tsp or two of soap.

I made up this solution to clean him....and figured I could just soak his collar in the same stuff because it stank like skunk too.

This is the result. I imagine maybe some natural wild yeast absorbed into the collar?

Montreal police are quietly growing their network of AI-powered tools to track vehicles and people across the city, raising questions about public transparency and privacy rights.

A high-powered camera able to scan and identify vehicles was spotted earlier this week by a Radio-Canada reporter, on a lamp post along Henri-Bourassa Boulevard in Montreal’s Rivière-des-Prairies neighbourhood.

It was quickly taken down on Wednesday, after Radio-Canada published an article about the camera.

The device used was a Cloudrunner CR-H2, manufactured by Montreal-based company Genetec, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) later confirmed.

Similar to the controversial Flock Safety cameras widely used in the United States, the system does more than scan licence plates.

It also captures and stores specific vehicle characteristics, including colour, make and model, according to the company’s website.

Picture a fisherman hauling in his nets on a calm morning at sea, when his smartwatch suddenly vibrates with an alert: “Magnetic anomaly detected – possible submarine passing 500 metres below.” Far‑fetched as it sounds, Chinese scientists have just taken a decisive step towards making that scenario real. A team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science and the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, both under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has created a Hall‑effect...

This is the most frustrating tech problem i've faced in a while. There are various solutions for various versions of Firefox, but none of them seem to work anymore because apparently Mozilla is waging a silent battle against people who want control over their own new tab page. For some reason.

Sorry. Just frustrated.

I'm making an HTML page that i would like LibreWolf to load by default every time i open a new blank tab with ctrl+t or the new tab button. I'm aware that i can set a new window page in my settings (not what i'm talking about), and i'm also aware of the browser extension that allows you to set a new tab page but is real buggy about local files. I'm even aware that i could hypothetically set my new tab page to a hidden page on my website that redirects to a local file, and i'm aware that that won't work because links from HTTP(S) to File are disabled.

I have tried following the following guides and solutions.

As you might guess, none of them worked.

Here's my current setup with this stuff.

I'm running GNU/Linux Debian 13 (trixie) with the KDE Plasma desktop environment version 6.3.6, KDE Frameworks version 6.13.0, and Qt version 6..8.2. But i doubt any of that matters.

LibreWolf was installed via apt and extrepo, and is on version 153.0.4-1.

I have a file at /usr/share/librewolf/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js:

// 
pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg"); 
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); 
pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); 

I have a file /usr/share/librewolf/autoconfig.cfg:

// sets the new tab page to out local newtab.
ChromeUtils.importESModule("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs").AboutNewTab.newTabURL = "file:///home/indigo/Documents/browser-home/browserhome.html";

A copy of that same file is at /home/indigo/.config/librewolf/librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg

None of this seems to be doing anything at all. Maybe LibreWolf handles some of these file paths differently from Firefox, and that's why no guides work. I don't know.

Does anyone know a way to do this that works in version 153.0.4-1? Right now it seems like my best options are to stick with a blank page, switch to a Chromium-based browser like Vivaldi that actually lets me do this, or use New Tab Override to load this page from my website and potentially re-download a couple megabytes of images every time i open a tab. I don't like any of those options.

So, again, does a solution currently exist, or has Mozilla won the war against customized home pages for new tabs? Does one of these still work and i just did it wrong? Will LibreWolf figure out that people want this and find a good way to implement it as a normal setting that doesn't require a CS degree?

The proposal is expected to face a litany of legal challenges before November’s election. It would add millions of dollars in fees to the region’s largest water users, including ExxonMobil, Occidental Chemical and Valero, the next time reservoir levels are below 30 percent full, like they were for 29 months until early August. Community and environmental groups gathered nearly 13,000 signatures of registered voters to get their proposal on the ballot.

...

The Fair Water Amendment would implement a 70 percent water rate increase for Corpus Christi’s largest industrial water users when reservoirs dip below 30 percent capacity. It would implement an increase of 140 percent when reservoirs dip below 20 percent, and a 280 percent increase if the city declares a water emergency.

I mean, the jokes aren't really funny, but the attention to detail in all the costumes is actually really impressive (Shout out to them using a real-ass flame on Charmander's tail). They easily could've just said "fuck it" and put in a fraction of effort, but they didn't ; the Ash kid even turns his hat around to battle (Bet you he was a fan).
