@interolivary No. I mean hot enough to be dangerous in terms of radiation.

I'd fire up my portable Geiger counter and see if it's hot enough to worry about or not.

@SeaJ I agree on time, 24 hours makes it a lot easier to communicate times with people in other time zones and easier to calculate from GMT.

Chinas largest to smallest unit makes sense to me since it's the same as Arabic numbers, largest to smallest, and so sorting order would also be same.

Actually not accurate for "Rest of the World", China uses year month day.

@Zyansheep Also both have their same evils, instead of using system shared libraries (and thus sharing memory) they are bringing their own libraries. If every large application did that we'd need a terabyte of RAM in our PC's. Maybe a decade from now that will be affordable but beyond my budget at present.

@Zyansheep I don't know the answer to that, the point is switching from one to the other is problematic. If I switch to flatpak and it happens to be newer but is even worse, then I can't switch back.

@Zyansheep The main problem with switching versions of Firefox is if you go backwards, i.e., if the flatpack is even one point release behind the existing, it's very difficult to get the existing profile to work. I've compiled my own version which seemed like the ultimate solution, then the version doesn't change unless I decide it does, but wasn't able to read my old profile which is a problem.

@randint I do like PPA's so like most things there are things you don't like and things you like, and for what it's worth I have a Manjaro, Debian, Ubuntu, Centos7, Fedora, CentosStream, Mint, Zorin, and MxLinux machines, most of them virtual machines, but Ubuntu is my daily driver, Debian I use for kernel builds because Debian needs signed kernel packages and other distros are OK with them. The others I need if I'm working on something specific to Redhat or that particular distro.

I've not been fond of Chrome and Edge because of the spyware aspect, but Firefox lately has become so friggin' flakey since it's gone snap that it's almost unusable and now that there is a Linux version of Edge, it actually seems to operate quite smoothly.
