Ouch.
Betting against MSFT on the stock market just doesn't seem like a good idea.

Capitulating to mounting pressure from shareholders, Microsoft has agreed to make it easier for customers to independently repair of its devices—a major and thus far unprecedented win for the Right-to-Repair Movement. If you break it, you can fix it.

Isn't that just the next step after making customers do beta testing? Now we've got to fix the bugs ourselves.

Wait, wasn't that the Open Source community? There you have to design and implement your functionalities too!

A survey finds that executives are drawing up post-pandemic work policies without employees' input, who are willing to quit if their employers don't deliver. But - managers always listen to their employees. At least that's what they say on the employee survey forms.

We've just shipped the latest version of WinUI 3, which is a part of Windows App SDK 1.0 preview release! This release includes new features, bug fixes and provides access to APIs and features we are intending to include in the next stable release. Now with Windows 11 styles, so you can build something to cheer up those that have installed it already

Adding programming languages to your skill set can open new career opportunities or increase your earning potential. But what are the easiest programming languages to learn? Posted entirely because I'm too full of mockery not to share
Where to begin. CSS is the first "language" (neither really a programming language, nor easy for a lot of people to learn - at least beyond the basics). Of course HTML makes an appearance. Bleh. I need a beverage.

That's laughable.
The first thing to learn is logic; the language is irrelevant once that is mastered. As John stated in a post from the survey, [PARAPHRASE]difficulty in learning a new language makes no difference, because of Google. [\PARAPHRASE]

Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn.
Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

I didn't read past the CSS.
As Kent already pointed out, CSS isn't a language and it isn't easy to learn.
I also feel sorry for anyone trying to learn it without first knowing HTML.
How is a 'language' that has a pre-requisite 'language' supposed to be easy to learn?

Yes, apart from what else you say, odd that this monstrosity is listed first!

I liked "Before the mid-2000s, websites only used HTML and CSS. Then JavaScript opened up new possibilities to create dynamic, engaging websites. "
By my reckoning, the mid 2000s is around 2500 (as the 2000s extend from 2000 to 2999) so only another 479 years to go before JS opens up new possibilities. Some of us were using JS in the late 1990s.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure even Microsoft was pushing "Dynamic HTML" (aka JavaScript) back in the 90s. The kids they get writing articles these days

The idea is to offer a digital "self-owned identity" to everyone that stores all information about them in a private and secure manner, and also give the owners complete control over how their data is utilized. Does it involve just sharing your account details with everyone else on the internet?

Or, give us everything and we will keep it safe. Yeah, that's the ticket.. Trust us.
Let's just make it easier for identity thieves by making a one-stop shop with everything about me.
Oh, to combat this, will they suggest putting this identity on a chip that must be inserted into my body!?! No thanks to all of it.
