My graphic showing cumulative change in the mass of reference glaciers around the world has now been updated with 2023's data. We are losing ice.

There are 4 services that we use for TROM.tf via @YunoHost that are either broken or not updated in some time. I will try to look more into, but these are :

Friendica github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frien… see github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frien…
Nextcloud github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextc… see github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextc…
Discourse that's broken github.com/YunoHost-Apps/disco…
And unfortunately Peertube that seems to suffer from some bugs with the update github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peert…

If anyone can help out that'd be awesome, because it would help us all. If not at least support Yunohost financially if you can afford that donate.yunohost.org/

Yunohost is a fantastic project that allows us to provide so many trade-free services for everyone.

I hope they/we can find a solution for these packages....

With the amazing images coming back from Juno's flyby of Io, I finally took a stab at processing some JunoCam images. This image shows Io's north polar region from 2839km distance.

The Same Color Illusion

ok, there are illusions but they are not arbitrary as your discussion implies. I your example, the brightness, not color, illusion is due to the surrounding intensities and how the visual system emphasizes relative ove absolute intensity. Necessary as most objects only reflect light and relative intensity is what is more important than absolute intensity. So this illusion illustrates a visual strength not weakness.
