jQuery

https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/

Just about everything that people used out of jQuery is virtually built into JavaScript or CSS3 at this point, and honestly I’d probably advocate just using plain JavaScript instead of some of the recent overly high-level frameworks 
 So apparently there’s an ongoing antitrust case against Google (US v. Google LLC) as I noticed on ReclaimTheNet, so I curiously checked on YouTube and it apparently marked the search as a ‘news-related’ search and thus forced it to only show the handpicked “trusted news sources” at the top, while most of them are 3 days old, many of them are completely unrelated to the latest case, and then just a pile-up of completely unrelated results after.

 Or adding with the more important detail: LFCS and LFCE are actual proctored performance-based certifications, requiring a person to actually execute the requested tasks on several server VMs, rather than a multiple-choice test (like with CompTIA certs).

There's usually like +50-80% off discounts on Black Friday or Cyber Monday for LF certs.

 Oh boy, that’s definitely a confusing surprise (screenshot as attached, with “Counter-Strike 2” selected, apparently in the place that CS:GO was, but still showing the CS:GO banner)
