Is there a setting that can allow me to keep browsing history on LibreWolf "forever", i.e. without it expiring and getting dumped after some time?

It's not in the settings, but I'm willing to dive into about:config to do it.

I'm working on re-creating a logo we had last year onto this year's #Canvas. The site, complete with template, is linked above!

#Canvas2024

Okay, technically, woman.

In short, someone found a dead body while fishing. So, content warning, the story is about that. Though the article doesn't actually have any nasty imagery or verbal details, just a picture of the water with a sunken streetlight pole in it.

(...Yes, I'll admit I posted this because of the pun.)

Found this on Mastodon. A "Christmas tree" of flasks with differently colored liquids.

...yeah. This is a thing. Both of these are things.

Edit: Added the city of Plantation.

A "BioBlitz" is an event where you go around and make observations of wildlife all around you using the citizen science app/website iNaturalist. The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) runs the "Parks for Pollinators" BioBlitz every September, across the United States, lasting the whole month, and focusing mainly on plants and the animals that pollinate them (mainly insects and birds) in local parks. But you can record observations of any sort of living thing you want, anywhere, as much as you want, anytime.

Here's their homepage for it: https://www.nrpa.org/BioBlitz/ ...but probbaly more relevant is the iNaturalist project for it (click here, or the link at the top). You can use the map to see the various BioBlitzes going on all over the country as part of NRPA's umbrella event. Hopefully, there's one near you!

If there is, be sure to check your local events calendars, because there might be special events on specific days. For example, here in Florida, there are the following BioBlitz events (and some have special events on specific days - I'm not sure about the last three, but you can check yourself):

• Markham Park (special event: September 2, 10am ~ 12noon) (observations also count for City of Sunrise)
• City of Plantation (in Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and Golf Course) (special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am)
• Quiet Waters Park (special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am)
• City of Sunrise (special event: September 9, 10am ~ 1pm, at Sawgrass Sanctuary)
• Miramar Pineland (special event: September 13, 9am ~ 12noon)
• Central Broward Regional Park (special event: September 23: 9am ~ 11am)
• Delray Beach (in Old School Square Park)
• Palm Beach County
• Pinellas County

But, of course, you can go to these places anytime in September to participate -- you don't need a special event.

If you want to participate, you'll need an iNaturalist account, and any relevant observations you make in participating locations will automatically be counted in applicable projects. If you join the project, you'll also get the project's badge displayed on your observation!

GOG is having a "Pixel Worlds" sale, with deals on games (DRM-free as usual, of course) that use pixel graphics. It will continue for two more days and change.

https://www.gog.com/en/promo/2023_pixel_worlds

My personal highlights include the following three metroidvania titles:
Chasm -75%
Phoenotopia Awakening -60%
Timespinner -50%

There are several pages of games on sale; others famous ones include Stardew Valley, the Contra Anniversary Collection, two of the Shantae games, and One Step From Eden (i'm gonna pick up that last one).

TL;DR for anyone from Mander:

Small mander logo: in the bottom right quadrant, between the EU flag and Ramona Flowers. Seems like this one was done by @Sal@mander.xyz very early on in the event. Much later, near the end of the event, I just added the text above it.

Big Mander logo: check in the top half, near the center, to the right of the Swedish flag. Was planned out by yours truly (not knowing we already had the small logo), though @mookulator@lemmy.world / @mookulator@mander.xyz came by and helped out actually placing the pixels (thank you!). The outline/background around the text was done by various other users, including @Lumun@lemmy.zip , @verb@mander.xyz , and @angrath@mtgzone.com -- thanks for coming by to help beautify our logo!

Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!

I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.

This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥

Future Events

I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

So this thing is happening: https://canvas.toast.ooo/

It's hosted by the good folks at toast.ooo and here's a link to the community for this: !canvas@toast.ooo

I was thinking we can get a GOG logo onto here. I've drawn up the attached image as the template I'm using. And I've started painting this with my top left corner being 98,208.

Come join in!

Edit: Modified the image. The exact pixel art is at the top left but I've provided a blown-up version that's probably easier to see. Though you can always just download the image, open it up in MS Paint or something, and blow it up yourself.

I reproduced our logo in pixel art, added our domain name in text, and I'm gonna start adding this to the Canvas.

The bottom right corner (where I'm starting) is located at 646, 205.

Come join me! And decorate this further if you'd like!

(How to join: https://mander.xyz/post/1767323 )

Edit: look like the picture is a little small because it's pixel art. You may want to download it and open it up in MS Paint or something then zoom in a lot.

Edit2: I found a mistake in my template: there's one extra gray pixel on the right side, diagonally up/left from the uppermost black pixel of the...uh...chelicera I guess.

Edit3: There are actually three extra gray pixels, the other two are to the right and above the one I just mentioned.
