I think it's been cropped into a square at some point (maybe for a preview image) and here we are.

You know which XKCD this is.

I think it's fair enough to say that it's common knowledge what a furry is but that the community's jargon/argot isn't.

That they didn't know the term fursona but looked it up for the article demonstrates research in my mind.

And surely being a Site of Special Scientific Interest must give it extra protection?

This is a great read, particularly the points about balance.

My phone's camera only has the thirds grid, unfortunately, although I had an older app that used to have a few options (but not dynamic symmetry grid).

That cow drawing was amazing.

The team task where they started with half the task seemed like it didn't work the way they'd planned at all!

I knew they'd done it on the Gary the Gorilla task but I didn't realise they'd kept doing it.

This song lives rent-free in my head.

What an image!

I think anyone who argued for a lowercase i was ignoring the context, but it's interesting to think of it as Star (Trek into Darkness).

Same, I had to ad-block some custom elements on YouTube ages ago because they kept covering the screen with "related videos" whenever I paused to read something.

It starts out seeming quite credible and ends up in tinfoil hat territory.

Back in the naughties PCLinuxOS was at 1 and people suspected them of cheating. I'm sure some people do try to game it, but there's plenty of organic and bot traffic to compete with.

Besides, I think the popularity thing's kinda backwards - I'd never visit Ubuntu or Fedora because I know what they are, but I'll be clicking on something novel out of curiosity.

Imagine how poor Pluto would feel if we decided this new entry counted as a proper planet.

As far as I know I made it up, but I stand ready to be surprised!

I definitely had to check the date it was posted as the whole article is quite odd.

Thanks for the link, I forgot about CLAs. Interesting - this kind of thing seems to be controversial but common.

They've kept YouTube monetisation enabled, of course.

Errr, you're losing me a bit there - are we still in sandwich territory with this version? It's like a weird sausage roll now.

I'm not saying OpenTofu is doing any accusing, but I am. I was thinking an original author had the sole right to relicense code but I guess they found some legally plausible way to get it done. I wonder if the author was an OpenTofu employee.
