I just used jQuery in a new project and you know what, I don't even feel bad. I just needed to hide all the elements with one class and show all the elements with a different class. A one-liner in jQuery and not in anything else!
I thought 'Oh, a silly grammar cock-up that makes for a fun local news story'. Then I read the first line. I won't spoil the surprise but maybe make sure there's no-one close when you yell 'OH FOR FU...'

I saw the fuss about the “Don’t link to our website” people yesterday, and didn’t comment much until this morning, because I hadn’t realized just how crap-laden their page was (my ad-blocker did its job). My initial reaction was that they kept talking about “the mastodon devs should fix this” but isn’t part of the deal with open source (which mastodon is, right?) that if you see a problem, you can go fix it yourself which they didn’t seem to have any interest in. Open source much, guys?
@davepolaschek I think they are one of those crapola sites that started as a social media page and then set up a website. It does seem a very self-imposed web performance issue
I do have some sympathy if you're just out here trying to run a little website, but honestly none if you claim in any way to be a person who knows anything about software, for example the type of person who might use the term "DDoS".
@yvanspijk It was interesting as a (British) English speaker to learn that child in Swedish is "barn" because you do immediately make the link to Scots "bairn". There is something a touch Scandinavian about the whole sound of Scots.
