They're also working with browser developers to push htmx into web standards, so that hopefully soon you won't even need htmx/JS/etc, it'll just be what your browser does by default

Google used to be able to do that, but can't shove as many ads in those queries I assume, so they dropped that ability.

Is there a joke here beyond "farmer is improbably in a business meeting"? I couldn't find a meaning for sodbuster that added anything, nor did I see any common 90's business slang about farming.

What is !steamdeck@lemmy.world doing over with the red dots 🤔

Apparently a reference to this series of beer commercials:
