You are misunderstanding the technology in play here. This is just HTML, rendered by CSS to look like a chart (if I understood correctly). If you want to change the chart just update the HTML data table that's rendered as chart with JS

Why not? It looks very practical to me. Currently when wanting a chart on a webpage I would fetch the data, transform it to the needed javascript array, add that to the HTML, and then initialize the javascript library painting the chart. Wi

Many good arguments against tailwind here. The whole approach of using a framework with opaque variable names and not chaining instead of real CSS can be criticized, and the article does it well. Though maybe I missed it, but it is actually

Come on. Isn't this only happening because the initial text widget did not have text selection, the one with text selection came later and now we are in this bad situation? Just enable text selection for both/all text widgets when

I don't remember this at all, but this might explain that. Or maybe a distribution like debian stable shipped with an outdated ALSA version, taken from the short period between release and dmix. Or just disabled dmix. Would love if som

I have to half agree with you, but in essence disagree. You are absolutely right in that this is not a UI issue where a checkbox was too small. But it was an usability issue that was caused by an inadequate UI. Plus an inadequate process, b
