Hold up, those names are much too descriptive.

Wait, that last one. It's a syntax I don't recognize. What is this slightly less nonsensical design?

Isn't this simply CSS?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

Yep. You're right.

I couldn't possibly think anyone would do that with CSS which is why it caught me off guard.

Our organization has perfected file naming. When something doesn't belong in a specific area, it goes into the file named Misc. When that got too big, Misc2 was created.

I have this in one of my global userstyles:

#page, #Body, .Item /* please stay away from web dev */

And then there are things like <div class="h1" (and actual h1) with background-color (well, some p and a too). A text element needs no background-color, that's a container-element thing.
