I still have an Intel-based MacBook, which does not seem to support limiting battery percentage to something like 80% while plugged in (it always charges to 100%), so I finally looked into it, and apparently there are third-party tools for that. I tried AlDente, and it seems to get the job done:

Toilet privacy has only become a priority in the past 100 years. For almost the entirety of human history, the ability to poop in private without being disturbed by anyone was a luxury reserved for the few.

But is adding extra restrictions to the AGPL license allowed to begin with?

The word “gas” is really overloaded in the English language
1. gas is one of the thee primary states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas)
2. gas is natural gas (you cook food on a gas stove)
3. gas is gasoline (you fill up your car’s tank at a gas station)

`font-size: small` can be smaller than `font-size: smaller`. Both values make the font-size smaller by a similar amount, but `small` is calculated relative to 1rem, while `smaller` is relative to 1em.
So if you’re in a heading where 1em is significantly larger than 1rem, `small` will be smaller than `smaller`.
Correction: `small` is relative to the user’s preferred font size directly. Changing the value of 1rem does not change `small`.

When the user “goes back” in their browser, two things can happen:
1. the previous web page is loaded from the network
2. the previous web page is re-rendered from memory locally
Does the user have any control over this? Can they choose which one happens? Can they force one over the other?

Without looking it up, how would you define technology?

The Preview app on macOS lets you add an image description to the image (press Cmd + Shift + A to show the toolbar, and then it’s the last button on the right), but if you post the image here, that description is not automatically set as the alt text. Should it be?

Did you know that W3Schools has a JavaScript library called W3.js?

(I found a website that depends on it.)

In Firefox, there are two ways to reload the tab:
* reload
* reload (override cache)
I need a third way: reload and repopulate form fields.
I need this because some websites are implemented in such a way that all form fields are reset on reload. I need to override this website behavior. The browser can do it.

On a related note, I have found that when it comes to topics that I know a lot about, I much prefer text, because it allows me to quickly skip over all the parts that I already know in search for new information, but for all other topics, I prefer video, because it allow me to just sit back and take it all in more effortlessly.

I’m so clueless about economy, I actually thought manufacturing = industry. But in fact, all parts of the economy are industries. Agriculture, construction, healthcare, tourism. Those are all industries.

Every time I see a website (in this case Mastodon) talk about native apps, I want to ask them what they think about their website as a web app. What made them invest in native?

> Using WordPress, it was easy to paste in a link and have it converted to an embed. But I don't want to direct people to a dangerous site.
You can put the embed inside a <div inert> element to make it non-interactive.

And on the HTML side?

Do most video players on the web use <video>? Those who don’t, what do they user instead (on the HTML side of things)?
