I immediately thought of Roman hypocausts, but apparently this sort of thing was done in Asia and North America thousands of years earlier. Who knew?

The problem with beaches was that they were too frequently found along the wine-dark sea

This description of the food web seems a little dated. I haven't seen a bird-eating spider in years.

Only $6,666 more? That's great! Oh, 6,666 times more. Wow, they should have put that in the title.

And if not enough people use it that way, it remains wrong, which is what appears to be the point of the above comment

How had he managed, at his age, to have never been infected up until this point? Oh, yeah, herd immunity -- that thing he's now working hard to destroy

Turn off community name scrolling? (retrolemmy.com)

I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

I looked through the settings, but I don't see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I'd take it over the scrolling)

Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here
