  • Interesting. Didn’t know it meant that but I can see it now…

    I’m taking about what a documentary said “hardtack biscuits” that was popular on the old wooden sailing ships.

    They even went through a recipe and tried to recreate them. Holy jaw breakers batman






  • Reading the labels helps avoid the truly shitty makers. There was a brand of fake parmesan cheese that got outed for having higher than 45% filler in their grated Parmesan cheese. 50% of the filler was the cellulose powder.

    The worst offenders are NOT a small percentage. It’s usually easy to notice because it’s so much cheaper than the rest on the shelf but not always








  • Hmm thanks, also please massively digress if you would like to.

    I interpreted it like 10% is a lot if it’s 10% of a million. That 100,000. So if there’s a million things that crash Firefox that’s a high number.

    If Firefox only crashes 10 times a year because it runs that well, 10% or that 1 time it crashes from a bitflip is impressive that the rare bitflip takes up such a high percentage of total crashes because Firefox just doesn’t crash very often.

    If your dread is found to be justified that won’t be too surprising, to me, if hardware is getting made less reliable these days thing. Enshitification being the norm, and tech being in everything nowadays

    We obviously need more context from Mozilla, but this could be a canary in the mine type situation.

    But it would be kind of neat if Firefox became something of a reliable test for bitflipping unintentionally
