  Ok so its confirmed now, they caved. "Canada will still start paying down its debt immediately with whatever net revenues it gets, but those revenues will be smaller than before.

  So my Adobe Illustrator has started crashing for no apparent reason and I cant seem to solve it. I'm a long time user of Illustrator and love its smoothness and ability to save and edit directly in PDF format. However with this issue I decided to give the open source alternative Inkscape another look. To my surprise it has improved significantly from last time I used it. I think I will stick with it. What I like most about these programs is how you can grab a bunch of objects and scale the...

  Very cool. A 100% self sustaining transport system. "it was never designed to be plugged in. The batteries are entirely recharged by solar panels on the vehicle’s roof and brake regeneration. " https://electricautonomy.ca/automakers/recreational-evs/2026-06-12/electric-ice-explorer/ #ev #jasper

  Former environment minister, Catherine McKenna has woken up... “I feel like I was duped.” “They can be climate leaders, or they can be oil and gas cheerleaders, but they can't be both.” https://archive.ph/cqu7R www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/news/carney-pipelines-rhetoric-trudeau-fact-check #cdnpoli #fossilFuels #bcpoli #abpoli #climateChange

  @brianb@fosstodon.org The first big decision is what type of inverter to use. The link below is a good explainer. Basically the simplest is a string inverter but for this to be optimal all panels in the string need to all have the same sun exposure. ie unshaded. Its also easiest from A DIY perspective. https://www.howtogosolar.org/solar-inverter-types/

  Today on CBC The Current, Matt Galloway interviewed Tim Hodgson, federal energy and natural resources minister. Hodgson is a confirmed liar and climate change denier. When asked how we could possibly meet net zero by 2050 while expanding fossil fuel extraction, he basically said because Mark Carney said so. He elaborated saying that there will be magical new tech that will allow this to happen. As usual Galloway did not challenge him on this. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-63-the-cur...

  Maybe Im missing something but this looks more like a win for Iran than for the US. Especially: Lifting of all primary, secondary and UN sanctions against Iran Covering Iran’s losses from the war by creating an investment and financial fund for the country Acceptance by the US of Iran’s right to enrich nuclear materials and discussion on the level of enrichment What the heck?? https://aje.news/9k7fl9?update=4471959 #iran #usa

  Lots of spring sun these past few days. A perfect production profile from yesterday. The big consumption spike in the middle is the #EV charging. Our car is %100 solar powered these days! 🌞 😎 #solar #renewables

  Kind of a superficial article but at least it mentions #Mastodon "independent alternatives such as US-owned Bluesky and German-developed Mastodon, whose feeds boast considerably less hate, misinformation, bot-generated content and AI slop, and whose followings are appreciable (about 1.5 million and 800,000 monthly active users, respectively)" The big issue I have is the phone apps. I'm intrigued by the alternative phone platforms but things like your banking app, #EV...

  21GW solar project moving forward in California. Nice. Sadly all the literature I can find on it get the storage specification wrong. They spec storage in GW rather than GWh. A pet peeve of mine....🙄 https://www.npr.org/2026/02/26/nx-s1-5726411/farmers-california-san-joaquin-valley-solar-farm-westlands-water-district-golden-state-clean-energy #solar #cleanEnergy #renewables
