  1. #Firefox just keeps getting worse.

    I don't know exactly which version this started with, but for the last few months Firefox has been a #CPU hog for me. Even when not interacting with any browser windows, the CPU usage of various processes - the main firefox #process, the content-sandboxing #processes, the WebExtension processes - will be taking significant CPU in bursts. There's frequently an Isolate... process using ~100%, and the main process will sit at 90% for a while before jumping to 160%.

    It's significant enough that it makes actually using the #browser #annoying. Pauses for one or two seconds while typing or scrolling as it does ... whatever it's doing while chewing CPU, and these happen every few seconds. Like 3 or 4 times for each line I'm typing in this window right now.

    There's nothing obvious to account for this workload. There are no videos playing, or animations, or sound. There are no continuously-updating pages or web apps running. I have uBlock Origin (adblocker) and Privacy Badger running, which significantly reduces the amount of work the browser does because there's no ad scripts to screw around in the background. The only thing I'm actively doing in Firefox at the moment is typing this toot. And yet still it pauses constantly.

  2. First ride of 2026 in the books. Got the H-D Challenge done as well.

    It was not the best day for everyone in our group. As we hit the finish, one of our riders was waiting to make a left turn and was clipped by a car that couldn’t wait the 30 seconds.

    Rider is fine, we got his bike lifted and out of the road in under 2 mins. Some minor paint damage to the fairing and front fender. Brand new 2025 CVO Road Glide.

    I know it’s winter but we still ride, please look for us and keep us out of your way.

  4. These guys are pretty high on my list of favorite mammals - and one I've never drawn before! - so meet the red river hog for today's #Weretober.

    He's a bit wary of strangers, but actually a pretty friendly fellow once you get to know him.

  9. Miłego poniedziałku wszystkim!
    Dzisiaj przychodzimy z pocieszną, małą, kocią gierką, którą dopiero co wydaliśmy na Xboxa i Nintendo Switch.
    Purrfect Rescue - gierka typu hidden object z całą masą małych kotków, przez co wymaga sporego wytężenia wzroku 🐱
    Niektóre są o tyle wyjątkowe, że za odszukanie i uratowanie ich otrzymujemy krótki koci lore z historiami odratowanych pupili.
    Gierka jest za parę złotych i można się przy niej fajnie zrelaksować (jeżeli ktoś lubi szukać uszek i ogonków w stogu siana) 🐱

  13. Sulawesi Babirusa Babyrousa celebensis

    Sulawesi Babirusa Babyrousa celebensis

    IUCN Red List: Vulnerable

    Extant (resident): Sulawesi, Indonesia

    The Sulawesi Babirusa also known as the North Sulawesi Babirusa are wild pigs are found on Sulawesi Island along with nearby islands Lembeh, Buton, and Muna in #Indonesia.

    They have a mottled grey-and-brown skin that helps them blend into their forested habitat. One remarkable feature of babirusas is their large tusks. They have two pairs of elongated canine teeth that curve upward and backward towards their heads.

    For males, their upper canines grow so long that they protrude through holes in the flesh on the top of their snouts. Sadly, these unique creatures are threatened by deforestation caused by the palm oil and timber industries along with hunting and mining. You can help by making conscious choices. Consider going vegan to support the movement against palm oil, and join the call to boycott palm oil and protect wildlife with the hashtags #Vegan, #Boycottpalmoil, and #Boycott4Wildlife. Together, we can make a difference for the Sulawesi Babirusa and their habitat.

    Share to BlueSky Share to Twitter

    Female babirusas have shorter canines that do not protrude as much. The local name for this unique creature translates to “pig-deer,” highlighting the resemblance of the male’s tusks to the antlers of a deer.

    Sulawesi Babirusas are sociable creatures, with females typically forming small family groups and males occasionally living in bachelor herds or having a solitary existence. Dominance hierarchies are established by both males and females within their respective groups.

    Appearance & Behaviour

    Babirusas are diurnal wild pigs, being active during the day. They engage in foraging sessions during the mornings and late afternoons, while seeking rest during the scorching midday hours. It is common to find them congregating in large numbers around wallowing areas and salt licks. Communication among babirusas involves a diverse range of vocalisations, such as grunts, moans, screeches, growling, and teeth clattering.

    Threats

    • Palm oil deforestation: Over 75% of lowland forests on the island have been lost due to deforestation, driven by the expansion of palm oil production.
    • Timber deforestation: Deforestation has also caused the depletion of more than 75% of lowland forests on Sulawesi, primarily for timber extraction.
    • Hunting: Babirusas are hunted for food, particularly in North Sulawesi, where they are sought after for local markets.
    • Iron ore mining and deforestation: The potential mining of iron ore, especially in the northwestern part of the northern peninsula, poses an additional threat to babirusa habitats.
    • Climate change and extreme weather: The impacts of climate change and extreme weather events may exacerbate the challenges faced by babirusas, particularly in the natural dry zone of northwest central Sulawesi, leading to reduced tree cover and fruit availability.
    • Accidental and deliberate trapping: In coastal areas, some babirusas are unintentionally or intentionally trapped for the Bali mask-making trade, specifically for their teeth. If you go to Bali – DO NOT buy a Balinese mask for this reason!
    • Human population expansion: The expansion of towns, the growing number of restaurants, and the demand for non-Muslim preferences contribute to increased pressure on babirusa populations across the entire island.

    Habitat

    These fascinating creatures can be found in a variety of habitats throughout the region in the island of Sulawesi and nearby islands like Lembeh, Buton, and Muna in Indonesia. They primarily dwell in the underbrush of tropical forests and canebrakes, but also frequent the shores of rivers and lakes. Sulawesi babirusas have adapted to thrive in diverse environments, making use of both land and water habitats. Witness their incredible versatility as they navigate and thrive in the different landscapes of Sulawesi and its neighboring islands.

    Diet

    Sulawesi babirusas are versatile eaters, enjoying a wide-ranging diet including leaves, roots, fallen fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and even invertebrates. Occasionally, they demonstrate their hunting skills by preying on small mammals and birds.

    Mating and breeding

    North Sulawesi babirusas have the ability to reproduce all year round. When it’s time to give birth, female hogs prepare soft nests on the ground using dry vegetation. The gestation period for these remarkable creatures typically lasts for approximately 155 to 166 days. When the time comes, females give birth to 1 or 2 well-developed piglets, who quickly gain independence as they can stand on their own shortly after birth. Around 10 days old, the piglets begin to consume solid food, gradually transitioning from their mother’s milk. The weaning process takes place between 5 and 12 months of age, marking an important milestone in their development.

    Support the Sulawesi Babirusa and other wild pigs by going vegan and boycotting palm oil in the supermarket, it’s the #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

  14. A listing on the #Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development's WARN Act database confirms #Smithfield's plans to shutter 35 #hog farms across Mercer and Putnam counties in October.

    Rumblings of the closures first emerged in late April, as high #inflation and rising interest rates contributed to consumers drawing down purchases at the meat counter.
