I guessed the same, but according to Wikipedia:
The name wallaby comes from Dharug walabi or waliba.
I’m not sure how modern anglicisation works but I assume what’s given there is considered the most accurate spelling of the indigenous word. So “wallaby” isn’t too far off.
This is honestly quite mild by website bloat standards. If that’s really the entirety of their Javascript it’s already way smaller than e.g. Medium or what this blog post considers “slightly bloated”. The fact that it’s in one file in 13 lines is also very standard. It makes no difference to the parser whether there are newlines or not, and removing them will in fact be saving bytes.
I’m guessing the performance issues with the site are more to do with how it’s coded. If it’s really bad for what sounds like a simple use case it might even be a cryptominer or something. A lot of those “random utility as a service” sites are.
I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. As far as I know it’s an issue with a driver installed on the computers, not with anything trying to reach out to an external server. If that were the case you’d expect it to fail to boot any time you don’t have an Internet connection.
Windows is bad but it’s not that bad yet.
Looks like the laptops are able to be recovered with a bit of finagling, so fortunately they haven’t bricked everything.
And yeah staged updates or even just… some testing? Not sure how this one slipped through.
I’ve tried several times to make celeriac “fish”, boiled in whatever stock you fancy as suggested in various recipes. Every single time though it comes out as soft, wonderfully textured fish-like flesh… completely shot through with awful, bad-tasting lumps of gristle. I still don’t know if I’m doing something wrong in the preparation, if my local supermarket sources really terrible celeriac, or if my standards are just too high. Wondering if anyone else has tried this, and had a better experience?

So close.
Are we really so far down the “obligatory memetic envelope because apparently just stating opinions isn’t socially acceptable any more” slope that we’ve dropped past “can’t stop thinking about x lmao” and on to “i was talking to my sister and, get this, i said x”?
