How did they do that?

It was an enjoyable game overall but the ending was really disappointing. Just a gauntlet of the same fights you've been doing all game. It feels like it's building up to something big, but it just ends with you doing a victory lap of yet another gauntlet against severely underleveled enemies.

Actually, the map the flat earthers seem to use the most is the polar azimuthal equidistant projection (as in the UN logo). Trips not involving the southern hemisphere get distorted much less.

Nightly has this so I assume it will come to Firefox sooner or later.

Just stumbled on this community (which apparently has no rules?) and immediately got reminded of this video I watched earlier today.

I guess this is really a bug in KDE/Plasma's themes, then? The window controls in the GTK3 theme should have the same look as the window controls in the icon theme.

They now use a zygote process like Chrome does. When a new process is needed, the zygote just forks.

In the old version, the main process used a classic UNIX fork+exec of the browser executable instead, which could start an incompatible process if the executable has been replaced.

With the zygote process, all code and data files are preopened, so replacing or deleting them does not affect the running Firefox.

As another effect, skipping the exec makes process creation faster..

Alphabetical ordering, I assume. Just not the right alphabet.

A recent Technology Connections video mentioned people are configuring chargers to 48 A when they're using 14-50 "50 A" sockets that are really designed for 40 A continuous current. Or they're using aluminum wiring without corrosion protection, or not abrading the oxide layer.

Kelvin decided that we should use a scale based on what atoms feel like is the the full range of sensible temperatures, with that range set to 0 through NaN (exception thrown).

There's actually a theoretical maximum temperature.

The mathematically perfect scale goes from zero to one T~P~.

If ever Firefox actually starts to disgust me and not just disappoint me, I'll stop maintaining it and look at forks.

But it won't be Librewolf, because the default settings are just a cargo-cult of self-contradictory "privacy enhancements" without any sane threat model that make the browsing experience much worse for little gain.

My mother would have trouble using a small phone at its default display scale. Large text, small screens and poorly designed UIs do not mix.

(Also: be careful, because the pineapple is just as interested in eating you as you are in eating it.)

Are you talking about the bromelain? It rapidly makes milk and milk products bitter and also irritates the mouth.
