Had a lovely morning walk and snagged a few photos of these little guys. The fruiting bodies look like tiny antennae! https://pixelfed.social/p/crabfutures/580898553231684512

Plot twist: MDN core reviewers / maintainers were in the dark and the MDN Steering Committee might have been as well:

One of my litmus tests for a software product these days is that, if it has search, I should be able to search for a nonsense phrase and get an answer that says “no results”. Every website and app is so damn thirsty for clicks now that it will just show an infinite scroll of useless garbage no matter what I’m looking for, which means I can’t get “no results” and then refine my search quickly, I have to page through the “results” to see if they’re plausibly related to my query. Please stop it.
