They are super cool and super territorial by all accounts. We were in a pop-up pub in a field and this guy kept coming to sit on our hands. I guess we were in his spot…Common Darter

I have that (Prosopagnosia) to some extent, and it’s kind of the opposite. Everyone looks different and nobody reminds me of anyone. When people discuss family photos saying things like “don’t they look like their father”, I get nothing.

My son was in a big stage show when he was 12, and we all went to watch. I struggled working out which one he was until he spoke / sang.

Your request for a duel is held in a queue and will be answered as soon as I’ve dealt with my colleague who inconsiderately has the same initials as me.

I remember using Mosaic on Silicon Graohics machines back in the early ‘90s. It’s was fab for the time.

And yes, Mosaic became Netscape, became Firefox. From the wiki page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

The business demise of Netscape was a central premise of Microsoft's antitrust trial, wherein the Court ruled that Microsoft's bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system was a monopolistic and illegal business practice. The decision came too late for Netscape, however, as Internet Explorer had by then become the dominant web browser in Windows. The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997. Netscape Communicator's 4.x source code was the base for the Netscape-developed Mozilla Application Suite, which was later renamed SeaMonkey.[4] Netscape's Mozilla Suite also served as the base for a browser-only spinoff called Mozilla Firefox.

Interesting to see the difference 20 years of improvement in digital cameras have made too. I suspect 2004 was film, but it’s possible early digital.

 

Keyboard is showing as light in post title and dark in post body for some reason.

 

I’m on .69 and still seeing very large margins around some images. And dismissing image modals with a swipe up or down often takes 3 or 4 goes, and mostly they just bounce back to centre. Finally, zoom seems to ping the middle of the image, which makes zooming near the corner of an image problematic. The zoom pin point should be directly between the two touch points ok the image I think.

 

Very wide, short images such as the original in this post take up a lot of vertical space in the feed:
