Using Dependabot and worried about NPM supply-chain attacks?
Enable `cooldown` periods to delay potentially risky package updates.
This helps prevent newly published, unvetted packages from being automatically introduced through GitHub pull requests.

v1.111 is live today!
We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.
Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

So with 3k responses so far, it's pretty clear CSS isn't so easy, with it still at 14% getting it right 😅
I do realize most people don't really reach for complex selectors like these, but each of the wrong ones has something that isn't allowed in it that is good to know about.

First quiz in a while where most people are getting it wrong with 14% getting it right, with >100 submissions.
I was going for something pretty tricky here, lol.
You can try at this link - www.youtube.com/post/UgkxQ6I... - and the answer includes a codepen to show the working one in action.

Trump’s latest comments say the quiet part out loud.
Once again, Donald Trump blames Ukraine, then immediately deflects to avoid saying the obvious — that Russia is murdering civilians.
He even boasts that Ukraine is being forced to pay “top dollar” for weapons that are meant to help it survive.👇
