I don't often eat these nowadays, but if you remind me that they used to be called Opal Fruits they taste better.

I thought at some point they were calling 720p "HD ready" and reserving "HD" for 1080p. It's all a bit of a mess, but that's pretty standard for tech names, as well as the TLAs, ETLAs and DETLAs.

4 out of 4, which seems a slightly unintuitive scale

Finally, there’s a level 4 sting, which is as bad as it can get. Schmidt knows of only three critters capable of inflicting level-4 suffering: the warrior wasp (Synoeca septentrionalis), a two-and-a-half-inch-long black bug found in the tropics; the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata), also tropical; and the tarantula hawk (genus Pepsis), two inches long, which Schmidt can find in his yard in Tucson.

btw, this image is a legit snippet from the wikipedia page Schmidt sting pain index although it doesn't make clear that Schmidt didn't get stung on purpose for science.

In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.

This doesn't affect me, but I'm sure there's going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.

Interesting point. So it's more like

I had no idea this existed but now Ralph Bakshi's Wizards is top of my to-watch list.

I have an uncle who will assume anything that takes over 20 minutes has crashed so managed to break his Windows box by continually hard resetting as it was trying to apply a large upgrade.

That's sobering reading.

One of the difficult tasks was to schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email messages.

95% are below this level. Wow.

I don't think you can count the sites that just mirror Reddit comments.

Searching on lemmy.ml shows the top being several !news@hexbear.net megathreads with comments in the thousands, then that !asklemmy@lemmy.ml post you highlighted, more !news@hexbear.net threads, then a !meta@lemm.ee megathread about Hexbear's federation. I guess we can see who comments the most.

I liked this !imageai@sh.itjust.works post Your username is the prompt, what did you get? which has 1618 comments.

I think this could do with being rewritten in Rust.
