The video addresses this. The biological term “fruit” is not accurate for culinary use. Lots of things we eat are biologically fruit, but you’d get weird looks for calling it a “fruit” while eating it. The video gives a lot of examples of botanical-fruit-but-not-culinary-fruit, including cucumbers, peppers, corn, eggplant, peas, pumpkins, and broccoli (specifically the buds).

Fruits vs vegetables is an arbitrary, near-meaningless distinction. See here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=E8mcTIEVKUU
Not sure about your situation specifically, but restaurants requiring a credit card during reservation is on the rise to combat reservation scalping and the no-shows that res scalping causes.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!English
19·11 months agoHere’s the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#Unrestricted_jus_soli
If I’m counting correctly, 34 countries with unrestricted birthright citizenship, and 40 with restricted.
The recommendation changed from car lengths to seconds decades ago, but wasn’t well communicated fwict. I learned car lengths from my dad and then seconds when I got my motorcycle endorsement.
If everyone were leaving 2 seconds of space, it also reduces stop and go traffic that is caused, or at least exacerbated, by the traffic wave phenomenon. But that’s even less well socialized.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[Solved?] Weird Font problems in desktop iconsEnglish
9·1 year agoIt looks like the png is getting word wrapped. Line spacing is so large that the png on the second line is getting pushed into the space of the icon below, and the icon below is given a higher Z value, so it goes over it. The different font has a different letter width and can influence the line spacing by being taller than the original font.
See if you can find an option to reduce line spacing or an option to increase icon spacing (vertical or horizontal). I would expect these to be advanced settings though. Iirc, most Linux desktops don’t use ellipses on long names, like some other operating systems (macOS iirc).
Yes. I’m not sure what you think makes you bad at writing bug reports, but here are tips I give to everyone (my day job involves working with bug reports).
Nominally, a decent bug report should have:
- the steps that got you the bug
- whether you can reproduce the bug
- what you expected to happen instead of the bug
Doing any of these things makes bug reports so much more actionable. You can do it. I believe in you!
Edit: Including a contact method so the software developer can have a conversation with you can also be helpful but not strictly required. Some bug reporting methods do this implicitly, like email bug reports and GitHub issues.

Bazzite was the distro that got me to kill the Windows 10 install on my gaming machine. Steam Deck catalyzed the move, but Bazzite was the final piece. Steam comes pre-baked in Bazzite, as does your graphics drives, and some multi-store frontends (I forget which atm), and some other quality of life bits. And Jellyfin Media Player is on Flathub, so installs easily via Flatpak.
