You know that scene in sci-fi movies where the android breaks and starts repeating the same word over and over again?

Is there a name for this style of writing headlines? It’s not clickbait I think because there’s nothing misleading or sensationalized here. It’s just withholding the key information.

Why is the root element in HTML called <html>? Why not <document> or <doc> or <page> or <root>? Isn’t it weird that the root element of an HTML document has the same name as the language itself? That’s like if the global object in JavaScript was literally called javascript.

I’m downloading a large file in the browser. The MacBook is not plugged in and in Low Power Mode. I have to go somewhere. How do I prevent the laptop from going into stand by, which would cancel the download?

justify-content: safe center;
This doesn’t seem like much of an improvement. The word is still cut off. Isn’t the real solution to break the word into multiple lines at narrow widths? You can’t just stop at ”Well, at least now the beginning of the word is visible instead of only the middle”. If the word still isn’t fully visible, you continue to have a problem.
I don’t get it.

Firefox CTO: “It’s clear in retrospect that we should have communicated more on this one”
Not more, better. Smarter. More clear. Anticipating how people will react and pre-empting any misunderstandings.
Will this finally be the turning point, or will Mozilla continue to suck at communication?

Why can’t this be the user agent default?

@npub16mu…qy4m You wrapped the element in a <label>, but then you didn’t include a label. That doesn’t really make sense.
