There ought to be some kind of 2016 css subset that everyone sticks to and then we can reconsider maybe updating it to include any newer stuff that's absolutely essential once every ten years.

MODERATORS
that mentality is one reason websites spam JavaScript today, because native features of the markup language were being added too slow
You know what still works? HTML tables.
Suck it, all of the 2000s webdev.
What's worse than div soup? Table ware.
oh no
Anyway
You can’t count chrome and edge as two different browsers…
They keep them grouped together though. If you look closely, they're in the same bubble while firefox is in another one. Probably shows both for the convenience of most devs.
(also Microsoft being Microsoft might shoehorn in some feature no other normal browser would just because)
MDN does, not my decision
they are grouped and as they are different browsers that theoretically could have different blink versions I feel like it makes sense.
The people who use MDN for their work need to though
...Did you add an unescaped RTL toggle character on your user name?
I strongly think Lemmy clients should have a toggle to show usernames instead of display names. Some of the Unicode is super obnoxious.
And now you're about to nerd-snipe me into checking if control characters are valid for user names in ActivityPub
For the record, I noticed because I use Friendica:
Jeroba only flips the instance domain, that is way more wild
Yay I am in screenshot
Nice
Funnily enough, it is correctly escaped in the client they developed, Photon
Same with voyager
Call me unsurprised if @Xylight added it as a way to test for rendering errors across Fediverse clients
i do remember doing that a long time ago
Doing QA testing for free? You and lil bobby tables would get along great
By the way, if you want to replicate this effect for fun and profit, the control character you're searching for is U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE (or RLO for short)
Progressive enhancement is a cool thing
