It was President's Day in the US, but I don't know why that would impact Lemmy.

I don't get what they gain out of this, doesn't it remove the sponsored results? Or will people pay to nudge AI weights to recommend their products?

If that's how you treat people you shouldn't be surprised when they 'cause a fuss' and kick you out.

Britain picked fights with the French, the Spanish, and Austria, then expected their colonies to foot the bill.

Idk, I like CSS, but I come from a web development background. Modern JS (ES4+) is fully capable of replacing CSS using the style property.

JSX is sort of like a singular language to do all three.

HTML isn't perfect, but I can't think of a better language for writing documents. TEX is unintuitive, PDF is opaque, markdown is just HTML shorthand.

Just use React or something, you can use a single syntax for all three. It makes total sense why the syntax is different if you think about when and why they were made. We had HTML for years before CSS, and it was longer still until we got JavaScript. Each language has a different purpose, so naturally a different syntax makes sense. Your hill is poorly defended.

GU24 is wack, especially for home lighting. I think they aren't made much anymore.

Those aren't different standards, they're just different USB-C cables. It's like saying light bulb sockets aren't a unifying standard because there's different bulbs with different wattages. The fact that all those cables work over the same standard is an example of how ubiquitous the standard is. That said they should be labeled better, like how USB3 was color coded blue; each cable could have a color strip to distinguish it.

Light bulb sockets are the same all over. RJ-45 Ethernet, USB-C, Bluetooth, WiFi, TCP, HTTP, HTML, CSS.
