parn obviously.
PARN (Poly(A)-Specific Ribonuclease) is a really fascinating protein. If I had internet for the first time in my life, I probably also couldn't stop reading papers on that molecule all night long.
Maybe I phrased it in a confusing way. Coffee does not smell like dog poop to me. It's just exactly as disgusting. Can't really compare it to anything else but it's a very intense smell that I just can't stand. I noticed that microwaving chocolate milk can lead to a similar smell but by far not as bad as coffee.
It's not roasted stuff in general that I despise and also not related to milk.
The smell of coffee. I don't know what's wrong with me (or alternatively the vast majority of people) but it smells as disgusting to me as a steaming pile of dog poop. I learned to ignore it to some extend but I still hate it in all its variations: The powder, freshly roasted beans, freshly brewed coffee, cold coffee, coffee breath, ...
I also don't get the hype around Paris. It's not super ugly but also nothing special.
I don't live too far from it, could easily go there for a week-end or even day trip. Still only been there twice and have no plans to go there again. In many spots it's very crowded and dirty and the attractions aren't better than in any other major city.
How the hell can one have patent of 'catching a creature through aiming' or even more crazy to me 'riding a creature' in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?
Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so... :'D
I really like how respectful canvas is compared to place. At least so far people mainly tried to draw around other even integrated other people's work like the rainbow mortar that changed the font color on its way but didn't overwrite it.
Why everything in Italy looks like a shoe from above?
If you consider only the RAM on the developers' PCs maybe. If you count in thousands of customer PCs then optimizing the code outperforms hardware upgrades pretty fast. If because of a new Windows feature millions have to buy new hardware that's pretty desastrous from a sustainability point of view.
As far as I know there is no plan to phase out Manifest V2 at Mozilla. As long as V2 and V3 are active in parallel it shouldn't have a negative Impact on adblockers etc.
Unlike others, I'd expect a signicifant decline of posts as not only many users but also loads of communities would be lost. That's why from my perspective users and communities should be evenly distributed across instances.
On top of that, there should be a feature to move entire accounts or communities to other instances. That way a community including all its members could just be migrated before a major shutdown.
Similarly, I think it would be a huge disturbance for the email system and possibly the entire internet world-wide if Gmail went down next month even though there are in theory plenty of alternative providers. Or supermarkets. If the IT of Walmart, Visa/MasterCard, Amazon AWS, Microsoft etc. have an outage it always has huge impact.
Lemmy as a whole isn't that big and far from being critical infrastructure but we all want it to grow we should bear in mind that huge central services are always more risky than many small services.
