While I prefer the UK version, the Australian show has my favorite Taskmaster moment ever: Concetta Caristo vs the vertical bathroom scale:

The 2 trillion figure is the minimum: it could be more than 6 trillion every year, and the elephant in the room is that more than half of those are factory farmed - which means humans are responsible for torturing them their entire lives.

I think the provocation was her reporting facts. Can't have that when most voters have chosen Trump.

Aren't the A and Q keys also at terrible positions?

Seems like they're banned in several countries and by several providers: https://web.archive.org/web/20250531154905/https://catbox.moe/faq.php

On my Mint 22 Wilma setup using Xfce, using Firefox 139.0 (64-bit) mint-001 - 1.0, when I click the "upload image" button here in lemmy, I see small thumbnails for .jpg and .png files, but not for .webp.

Maybe the .webp format is too new?

Ctrl++ doesn't work in my "File Upload" dialog box to make the thumbnails bigger.

Edit: I always rename files I download to give them descriptive file names, starting with the most important word first.

To disable it (for now):

  1. at the top left tap the 3 horizontal lines,
  2. near the bottom tap "Settings",
  3. tap your account,
  4. scroll to the middle and unselect "Smart features".
  5. Consider moving over to a non-psychotic, non-fascist-supporting email provider, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuta_(email)

Anyone know how to get rid of the Gemini icons?

Scientists didn't become pickier - they just later found that Pluto was in a belt of thousands of massive object (called the Kuiper belt), like the asteroid belt but much bigger.

When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was thought to be a comet, later a planet, but after discovering it was one of many asteroids in the asteroid belt (which it wasn't big enough to clear), they realized it wasn't a planet.

When Pluto was first discovered in 1930, it was in a similar situation as Ceres and thought of as a planet, but when other Kuiper belt objects started to be discovered by 1992, they realized Pluto also wasn't a planet.

Am I having a stroke, or are the photos of the people in that article something you'd expect from a broken AI clickbait site, rather than an article by a public service broadcaster?
