Very interesting and watchable. Do you differentiate between wars and "conflicts"? There's so many of the latter and everyone seems to avoid the term "war".

"Conflict" seemed like the broader useful definition. Especially in modern times, defining it as just "wars" felt like it'd leave too much out; and I really wanted to map conflict to show how impactful it's been on societies and cultures.

Amazing! I just wish there was a way to eliminate the text boxes.

I did add a hidden feature to do this: just press "t" on your keyboard to hide all overlays!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No issues here on Linux, using Firefox 140.12.0esr under Slackware and Plasma 6.7.2 / Wayland

I have 152.0 installed from flatpack on Fedora Kinoite 43 (Plasma 6.6.3 / Wayland) Maybe it's a firefox bug that was introduced somewhere after 140? idk

or perhaps, some Plasma bug was fixed in Plasma 6.7x. Who knows...

EDIT: Now I see you installed it via flatpak. That is also a source of endless inconsistencies and instabilities. So you should maybe try the native fedora rpm.

This is so called "Atomic" (rpm-ostree based) Fedora, so flatpak is the native way to install applications

Yeah, I thought that. Too bad, you just hit one of the (very few) disadvantages of immutable systems.
