no.

This method is fundamental to how modern displays, including computer monitors, TVs, and smartphone screens, produce color images. By varying the intensity of these three primary colors, screens can create millions of different colors.

Bill 5 puts all of Ontario's nature at risk. Ford and his cabinet will have uncontrolled power to decide which companies get to ignore any and all laws that would keep the people and places we love safe. globalnews.ca/news/1116699...

The Conservatives are basically making an election rigging claim in their most recent fundraising email. Yes, really. CBC News first reported this, and I’ve also independently confirmed it — because the Conservatives sent this email straight to my inbox. Let’s talk about it: youtu.be/RJTeoUtRP-U

really enjoying the term "woke pope." fun to say, almost rhymes, strong consonants. excellent mouthfeel

Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take tbh: let’s not target sad teens with ads. I’m already passionate about the need for change in social (for obvious reasons), but the Meta antitrust case is reaaaallly putting it into perspective. LETS GO ATPROTO!!!

Someone made a @home-assistant.io app for Pebble that supports the Home Assistant voice assistant ?! 🤯 github.com/skylord123/p... (picture from www.reddit.com/r/homeassist...)

Bill 5 is a disaster. In addition letting corporations ignore environmental regulations, labour laws and Indigenous consultation, Bill 5 will also let them dig up and pave over archeological sites. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is a big deal! Good for @sophiamathur.bsky.social & other youth for taking Ontario to court arguing that weakening its climate target leads to dangerously high greenhouse gas emissions that discriminate against young people by forcing them to bear the brunt of future climate impacts.

The city just installed a 510M transmitter for the water meter. Now to figure out how to capture the signal and add it to #homeassistant

Wait, how did a decentralized service like Bluesky go down? techcrunch.com/2025/...

Google is killing software support for early Nest Thermostats. It's also pulling Nest thermostats out of Europe entirely, citing “unique” heating requirements www.theverge.com/news/656332/...

It's clear that more highways will not help address gridlock. It will increase pollution and lock people into long, expensive commutes. If we want to solve gridlock, we need to give people more affordable options to get around, including reliable public transit and safe biking infrastructure.

Earth Day would be a good time to lift the moratorium on offshore wind in Ontario. This will create good, green jobs right here in Ontario, and allow us to get off expensive, dirty fracked gas from the US. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Had a custom slide rule ring made back in 2013, but the markings were just enough off that it doesn't *quite* work. Will need to find someone to make it completely correctly (simple log scale marks)

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the embodiment of our principles and our aspirations as Canadians. It must be protected — not wielded for political gain. Forty-three years on, the Charter remains strong — and it’s on all of us to defend it.

CBC | What On Earth | Where the Liberals stand on climate policy this election www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... The parties aren’t talking climate much on the campaign trail. But we are - we’ve got tough questions for all of them. First up, Jonathan Wilkinson of the Liberal party.

Trying out #eqbank (bluesky accounts don't look legit for it). Trying to find a better alternative to #Simplii and #Tangerine after both of those were bought out and resulted in worse result (liked PC Financial and ING respectively). Will see how this goes.

The NYT just dropped a bombshell: a foreign spa company with one location and no cash landed a 95-year sweetheart deal—based on misleading claims and a secretive, preferential process. This gov't was elected to protect Ontario. Do the right thing. Cancel the deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

It took the New York Times for Premier Ford to finally start paying attention. There's no need to waste more time, or money. Cancel the deal.

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. She is a truth teller. pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

Halifax council votes overwhelmingly to discontinue using X platform Councillors voted 16-1 in favour of removing X as a social media platform for the municipality and will instead use Bluesky #Halifax #NovaScotia #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

There's a lot going on but we are still talking climate change I hope. Melt madness: Arctic sea ice shrinks to record springtime low Arctic sea ice reached a record low in March 2025, marking the lowest extent in the 47-year satellite record. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Interest in LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is on the rise, with weekly downloads of its software package close to 1 million a week as users look to avoid subscription costs. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and Unix like systems www.computerworld.com/article/3840...

People I see on e-bikes: - Seniors staying active and living their best life. - Moms, dads and kids actually enjoying the school run. - People getting groceries or running errands - Service workers commuting on an affordable vehicle “E-bikes aren’t cheating. They’re winning.” - @pflax1.bsky.social

Well, crap. The power adapter for the #pinebookpro got yanked. Need to replace the end to keep it going. At least it can charge off USB-C for the time being, but appears to do so more slowly
