Some of this is paving the cowpath - the animated PNG stuff is 20 years old and e.g. Firefox has had support since March 2007.

APNG is what they're using in v3, so all many libraries need to do* is update that code for HDR.
* surely that's easy, right?
I fact checked that bite force stat and yup, Giant Panda 1.30 kN vs Lion's 1.32 kN.
source: nice article quoting Bite forces and evolutionary adaptations to feeding ecology in carnivores (Ecology).
FYI, you've added a link where the label is the URL and the actual link is empty. You can fix this by removing the [ and ]() around the link. If the link is there as plain text, it gets a hyperlink automatically: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/pay-up-or-stop-scraping-cloudflare-program-charges-bots-for-each-crawl/
I can save you a click by saying it's a Discord bot that notifies when people join the voice chat, but it's a nice read and not too long.
Rosie's R jumper - R for Rosie and/or Ramsey?
I'd thought it would be Jason putting something on the roof since he's been trying to get up there all series. Instead, he completely blindsided us with the Nish reveal - and on the same ep as the Aisling, um, cameo.
Also, I can't be alone in being fooled into thinking the crow was going to play a part in Fatiha's placement.
Raging Horne looked like Humpty Dumpty.
It seems reasonable given that ~~space~~ the atmosphere is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.
I only found that out today when I was searching for the above image and there were these orange packs in the results.
Can't believe they discontinued the best flavour.
I thought that /dev/shm was strictly for shm_open() but it seems that all that does is open a file in /dev/shm anyway.
"We've got the same juice" - yes, just so awful they had to move on (or we've got some great deleted footage coming).
There was nothing about sabotaging the turntable - I reckon shoving a paint bottle underneath would stop it turning and then pull it out to show the other person.

If only my ancestors had been fortunate enough to marry into the branch of the bacteria family that could photosynthesize, like all my little green cousins here.
Transcript:
[Cueball and Beret Guy, seen from afar in silhouette, are walking up a grassy hill.]
[They continue walking up the hill, reaching its grassy summit. Now with normal lighting. Beret Guy is a bit ahead of Cueball.]
Beret Guy: I learned something today.
Beret Guy: I went on one of those family tree sites and kept clicking back, and it turns out I'm related to stromatolites![Closeup on Cueball. Beret Guy's reply comes off-panel from a starburst on the right edge of the panel.]
Cueball: The bacterial mats?
Beret Guy [off-panel]: Yeah! A few billion years back, on my mitochondria's side.[Cueball and Beret Guy standing on the top of the grassy hill facing each other. Berety Guy holding a hand out towards Cueball.]
Beret Guy: My Archaean ancestors absorbed some bacteria that were cousins of stromatolites. That's how I got mitochondria.
Beret Guy: Cell nuclei, too.[Cueball is standing behind Beret Guy who is now sitting down in the grass leaning back on one arm with the other arm resting on his bent knee.]
Cueball: I think there are still living stromatolites. You could get in touch.
Beret Guy: Nah, they're probably busy. I don't want to bother them.[Cueball is sitting behind Beret Guy who is now lying down, both again shown in silhouette from a far, revealing they are on the top of the grassy hill.]
Cueball: So what are you going to do with this knowledge? Nothing?
Beret Guy: Lying on a hill in the warm sun is an old family tradition.

They're continuing to search for a square with the same area as the circle, as efforts to construct one have run into difficulties.
Transcript:
[In a single panel, White Hat, Ponytail, Miss Lenhart, Cueball, and Megan are standing in a field. Ponytail is holding a notebook and taking notes, Miss Lenhart is kneeling and holding her hands on a circular object with the radius marked on it, Cueball is holding a large caliper-like measuring instrument, and Megan is taking a photo with her phone sideways.]
[Caption below the panel:]
Math breakthrough: Dimensional analysts have discovered a real unit circle. Once they measure it, units can finally be added to all our geometry textbooks.

I can see it, btw. I'm using Voyager on Android and see a spool of blue cable.
