If I’m remembering it right, the Entwives preferred to garden, whereas the Ents preferred thing wild and untamed* so they both lived in different parts and visited each other. Then one day then Ents visited to find only barren lands where the gardens had been. The Ents searched but never found out what happened.

• which would make the Entwives more authoritarian, right?

Seems that this has been asked before, and Wikipedia has gone for inaptronym

I like nominative ironicism or unaptonym.

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.

– The Straight Dope

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

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

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

According to testimonies, the soldiers ordered all the men to undress, gathered them in one place, and took the photos that were later disseminated on social media (senior Israeli officials have since chided the soldiers for sharing the images).

It’s very telling that the officials only have a problem with the evidence of their war crimes.

I think this could do with being rewritten in Rust.

Memes with a history lesson - this is a format I’d like to see take hold.

I wonder how many of of the memes here would benefit from having a lay person explanation, or if that would just be like the frog dissection quip.

Ah, you mean a ninja edit. Yes, this should be allowed.

I just tested and it definitely isn’t.

Yup, although on kbin they’re called “magazines”, so their urls start with /m/, e.g. kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Your comment confused me since I thought you were saying the EFF was cancer at first.

Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don’t have to suffer this rubbish!

I’m surprised that no-one’s brought out a client that can merge communities. People properly using the cross-posting feature seems to help with this a bit.

As a student I wasted so much time mucking around with flags and settings in Gentoo. It definitely wasn’t pointless since I learned so much, but I didn’t need to sit there and watch it compile as much as I did.

It was pleasing to watch though, just like defrag in Windows.
