@xahlee Are you familiar with electrical resistance? Thermal resistance is closely analogous - you have a fixed "current" (watts of power to dissipate), and then you have several resistances (measured in °C/W) in series between it and the ambient air. Add a longer heat conductor and you're adding to that resistance, so the °C difference between the CPU and the ambient air increases in proportion. Dunno if they're the level you want but see https://www.electronics-cooling.com/1995/06/how-to-select-a-heat-sink/ and https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/314

@xahlee I cannot confirm the more extreme limits of this claim. Google Shopping gives me plenty of hits for "burgundy," "grease gun," and so on. But it's true that it returns no results for me on searches like "rifle" that might be expected to return actual guns. I don't know if this is a change from previous behaviour; I never use Google Shopping nor shop for guns online in general.

@er1n aren't those the masculine and feminine forms of the word, like "le fem" and "la femme"?

Why limit ourselves to shitposting when we could have spitposting, slitposting, and snitposting?

@lain what's the opposite? header of sexual?

@azurolu Sooner or later, everybody's life becomes a Johnny Cash song. Mine is "One Piece At a Time."

@guizzy @lain Bear in mind that this was a team of the best German players against a team of *not* the best Canadian players, because of the issues between the Olympic and NHL organizations.

Combine this with the keyboard navigation that goes a whole item at a time even if that jumps across a taller-than-screen item, and it is as I've said before painful to use on a netbook with limited vertical screen size. Web sites shouldn't even be allowed to hook keyboard events. They have demonstrated it's a power with which they cannot be trusted.

Something especially annoying about the Mastodon scroll bar is that it asynchronously adds stuff *at both ends* - the top when someone posts new items, the bottom when it loads more past items. So if, while scrolling, it suddenly jumps to a different location, you can't even tell which direction you need to go to get back where you were.

@trwnh @chr How would you transmit water non-wirelessly? That seems harder.

@maiyannah Okay, I made a change that should help with that. Always displays the icons that would otherwise require mouseover, unless either the platform tells CSS it can do mouseover (but recognizing that is a feature Firefox doesn't have...) or the screen is wide enough that it's probably not mobile. I may be able to think a little harder and also handle tablets that are wide and still can't do mouseover, but they're a smaller target.

@maiyannah cool. so I just have to work on the mouseover stuff.
