  • Bears are not great at identifying flying things. They know what a bee swarm is but can't tell a 737 and A320 apart, they might as well be UFOs.

  • Huh, must be a recent development. They also seem to use cookies because clicking "Mobile" or "Desktop" (very last link on each page) has a lasting effect but they've been for a long time.

  • Browsers would only escape parentheses in the address bar using the percent method until some time in the 2010s so many web users don't remember it. I agree that there should be an easier way for the writer but at least with a working hyperlink (which can currently only be made with %28 and %29), the experience is smooth for the reader.

    Maybe a bot can be made to detect these errors on Lemmy? Another pitfall with Wikipedia links is the m. in mobile URLs that does not redirect to the desktop version (as opposed to the other way around) - a Reddit bot existed for this - so perhaps one can be made with both functions.

  • You can still make a hyperlink by escaping () as %28%29.

  • The gown is reasonably chaste so they'd be thirsting for science rather than the female body. And there's plenty of science communicators who look sluttier yet smart in their presentation.

  • Depends on where and when it's from, it's rare where I live. Also, makes no difference in terms of alphabetical sorting.

  • I think this is a higher percentage than Windows 11 if you include 16-bit ones from the 90s and early 2000s. (What was wrong with NTVDM64, anyway?

  • Fuck Excel's CSV handing. It differs by locale, silently. Imagine the thousands of people every year who patiently wait to import a multi-megabyte CSV from some instrument only to see garbage because their language uses the decimal comma and semicolon separator.

  • Could have been worse, they are the kind of animal dogs hunt

  • The former Czech president lobbied for using our geographic position to link the Elbe, Odra and Donau rivers with canals. It would be very expensive but really useful in the 1800s.

  • Instructions nuclear, toaster stuck in black hole

  • Mine too. I meant to write "my first interpretation" but wanted to use shorter and more varied vocabulary.

  • Apparently, "suicide" is also a disproportionally common search term on Bing as opposed to other search engines. What does that say about Microsoft?

  • The headline has two interpretations and I don't like it.

    • Every week, there is 1M+ users that bring up suicide
      • likely correct
    • There is 1M+ long-term users that bring up suicide at least once every week
      • my first thought
  • I watch 576i DVDs on a 24" 1366x768 TV and I don't mind because I sit reasonably far.

  • Oh, I thought this was about the cop testing the pronunciation of "brown hair".

  • Nope, it looks like a basic vector graphics editor, think Inkscape, PowerPoint or whatever is built into their animation/effects software. They just used straight horizontal lines for the fraction and the bar of the square root.
