As someone who grew up in Argentina under the shadow of its last dictatorship, this is the kind of headline and picture you only see when much worse things are happening in private. This will require a Truth and Reconciliation effort if we want any semblance of normal civil society.

Space Weather

GONG far-side solar imagery (also known as magic!) shows a strengthening active region (marked "P100") coming around the east limb in a few days.

Keeping fingers crossed it will provide some fireworks!

Meanwhile a coronal hole will be sending a fast solar wind which will increase geomagnetic activity on Sunday 16 Nov. The NASA/ENLIL solar wind model also shows the CME from yesterday's X4 heading to the west and not affecting Earth at all.

this is a fascinating study, and seems like it might provide some food for thought. the dissonance between population religiosity & the increasing penetration of religion into politics is an important fault-line.

That the EU seems to be on the verge of tariffing Norwegian and Icelandic silicon metal exports has basically killed off any chance of these countries joining the EU any time soon

Bad things keep happening and the population of Bluesky is handling it badly. Anybody with a book to sell is “a grifter”. Every theory that differs from yours is “a conspiracy theory”. What little kindness I see in my Bluesky timeline is reserved for the dead, and even then it’s a platform to hate others. The mood of the platform seems to have turned on a dime.

I know a lot of folks have been going on about it, but Steam's latest hardware announcement has been utterly insane for the day and age in which we live.

Consider that they didn't hype it up with a launch event. They didn't sell a bunch of hype and buzzwords. All they did was release a ~6 minute video that effectively described the hardware and what it would provide, and had a webpage with *actual specs on it*.

They invited a bunch of tech reporters/YouTubers to their HQ, but they let them talk to *engineers*, not marketing people. The discussions focused on real capabilities of the hardware, and actual demonstrations. No vapor and promises. Not glitz and glam.

They made it clear this is all SteamOS driven, and that they have a focus of getting *existing x86 Windows software* running not only on Linux, but on ARM and in VR!!

They aren't pitching a closed ecosystem. They said, outright, "This is your hardware, you can do whatever you want with it".

THEY DIDN'T MENTION AI ONCE.

And they're _already_ making a bigger splash than any competitor ever did, even though those competitors have gobs more money they've thrown at this stuff, and tremendously more staff.

It's flabbergasting. I hope they make enough of an impact with all this that people sit up and take notice.
