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.

We’ve never had a major city completely devastated by a surprise weather event before and people don’t even seem to register it happened for the most part.
It won’t be the last time a city is destroyed for that reason, either.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.

It seems that Tuta has for unexplained reasons recently dropped support for Javascript, so if you have sensibly disabled WebAssembly for security reasons, Tuta will unhelpfully just tell you to upgrade to a more modern browser, even if your browser is already latest version.
Could this possibly be the reason for Tuta failing in your browser?

I don't have secrets (apart from the obvious ID that phishers want). I just don't like creeps thinking they can sell me.
I'm sorry, but this was a poor and bad click-bait.
First of all, this is from a reddit post over a month ago:
reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comm…
That Reddit post does not point at anything official from Google supporting that click-bait post. The closest you get is this post:
developer.chrome.com/blog/resu…
None of these posts which you highlight in that image confirms that Google will deliberately target uBlock Origin. It is a collateral damage, though, with the MV3 move; yes. But it is not targeting uBlock Origin explicitly - as that headline indicates.
I completely agree that using Google based services and products is highly risky in regards to privacy, including Google Chrome (and most likely Chromium). But at least try to stay true to the real facts and not hype a click-bait.
This kind of posting you do here more makes me sceptical to Tuta. This is poor propaganda. If you want to do this kind of stunts, at least know you provide the real hard facts.
And misleading as hell. Headline talks about uBlock Origin, text then talks solely about MV2 extensions.
No word that MV3 also supports almost all features in a fork called uBlock Origin Lite. They even have a handy list of the supported features.
No word if Firefox pledged to keep access to that one (open to abuse) API forever. So will they remain working or will the same problem show up in a short while again?
Tor Browser isn't very secure though IIRC because it's often late to the patch party. So rather use it for exactly the things where you need TOR.
I wouldn't recommend Brave though, the boss is a prick who financially supports homophobic laws. And it's deep in the crypto bro scene. Also it's based on Blink and if they don't keep manually supporting Manifest v2 they will eventually remove it as well ^^'
I highly recommend just using Firefox and going through the settings to e.g., force-enable DoH and certificate transparency, clear cookies on quit (+allow list), disallow third party cookies, etc.
🤷 I've been mainly on Firefox now for years.
Not perfect, but then Chrome has been never perfect either.
(Yes I know it used to be required by some applications.)

2023
warmest year on record
This year has now had six record breaking months.
November had, for the first time ever, two days with a global temperature 2ºC above
preindustrial levels.
These extreme temperatures confirm that 2023 will be the warmest year in recorded history.
It serves as a stark reminder that we need to work together to drastically reduce emissions.
This is why we're pushing for stronger climate ambition, finance, and global energy goals at #COP28

If there has been deception, was it due to oil majors deliberately misleading the public or merely expressing uncertainty about effects of climate change?Ian Palmer (Forbes)
#COP28 ? You mean the meeting in one of the biggest oil exporters in the world, whose President is the head of their national oil company and also a a very vocal climate denier?
It would have been better for the EU to boycott it. To be honest, if I described what a fit punishment would be for Al Jaber deliberately sabotaging our efforts against the climate and helping to doom all our children, I'd be thrown off this site.
Dear European Commission,
Can we have an International Climate Court where the fossil fuel cartel gets tried for crimes against humanity?
When you keep drilling while island nations sink, frack while wildfires burn Innocents, and look for more oil while extreme weather events kill people, you are guilty of crimes against humanity.
You make serial killers look like amateurs, and you deserve prison at the very least if your profits come before people and our planet.
I want to say the most important measures lack priority:
car free cities, permaculture, passive heating/cooling building design
car-free itself saves time, lives, money, energy and is economically vibrant. car centric design is financially insolvent. It is climate mitigation and adaptation. It costs far less than renewables and especially EVs. It the pathway for a sustainable future developing nations can embrace.
It should be a top priority but isn’t.

I always find it kind of fascinating how big companies can be so useless for so long, and then suddenly so active when things escalate — like, they had all the information, they knew what was going to happen, and still they didn't do anything about it until it became an emergency. Why?
I mean I do that too, but that's just ADHD, I don't think companies can have that.
@lisamelton I miss the leverage Twitter gave people with customer support issues. It’s good to see that hasn’t died.
But I feel about this the way I feel about stories of people donating money for someone’s medical issues. It’s great that worked, but the system is still broken.

in reply to Simeon Schmauß • • •This allowed me to retain the complete horizon which is often lost with JunoCam images.
Simeon Schmauß
in reply to Simeon Schmauß • • •I also developed a color calibration for the JunoCam filters based on the CIE1931 color system. This allowed me to process the image in approximate true colors as the human eye would see them.
However, this wasn't an easy task because the JunoCam RGB filters don't match the spectral response of the human eye very well. Particularly the red filter is way too sensitive in the near infrared and Io's surface is especially reflective there.
Simeon Schmauß
in reply to Simeon Schmauß • • •In addition to the common ColorChecker 24 spectral target I used an Io reflectance spectrum (Spencer et. al. 1995), so I could better fit my calibration matrix to the spectral characteristics of Io.
Even with weighting the Io spectrum, my calibration only managed a dE of the Io reference target of 8.3 which really isn't great. That's why I'm only calling it an "approximate" true color image for now.
There is probably room for improvement by using more representative spectra.
