It's the ber of septem.

Twenty days until the ber of remem. 🎺​

Two bits of breaking news have reached my desk.

First, MapQuest is still a thing. It's owned by an ad firm now, but uBlock Origin works, & your parents can still print directions from it.

But more recently, MapQuest has refused to recognize Trump's powerless order changing the name of Lake Ontario.

Business Insider, 2026-08-27, "The 'OG' online map platform, MapQuest, says it won't change the name of Lake Ontario": https://www.businessinsider.com/mapquest-wont-rename-lake-ontario-lake-america-trump-canada-tariffs-2026-8

@mavica_again "No, I said 'borgs,' not 'bugs.' 'Borgs.'"

Suddenly remembering the one loose thread Star Trek never tied up: The Next Generation, season 1, episode 25, "Conspiracy." Yes, the one about the stop-motion creepy crawlies taking over Starfleet Command, and with the graphically gory third act.

@JennyFluff A microburst is what microFarad capacitors did during the Capacitor Plague.

I still think MDN should add a column for SeaMonkey in its browser compatibility list tables, but I now know the workaround:

Since 2.53.1, the SeaMonkey release notes say it uses the same back-end as Mozilla Firefox 60.x.

So if the browser compatibility number in Firefox's column is 61 or greater, then there's no support in SeaMonkey.
