    Sweet Jesus people, STOP popping up tips about new or updated features WHILE I&amp;#39;M TRYING TO GET SOMETHING $#&amp;amp;*$# DONE. (I&amp;#39;m looking at you Microsoft.) FFS, was trying to schedule a meeting on Teams (client requires it), and I had to dismiss four different stupid informational things at four different times. Just put a notifications icon somewhere and I&amp;#39;ll click it IF and WHEN I&amp;#39;m @#$# interested in seeing what you have to say. #UX #Microsoft #Fail

    @remcow You can, and you don&amp;#39;t. Obviously don&amp;#39;t know your use case, but see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSSStyleSheet (you get that from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/styleSheets) (or a `style` element you update the text of). But (re)writing CSS rules on the fly usually wouldn&amp;#39;t be your first choice, all other things being equal (and again, not knowing your use case). HTH!

    So you&amp;#39;re saying...I must never restart Teams, ever again. Tricky. (I have to use Teams for a client.) #AI #LLM

    Yesterday was the best day (recently) to re-boost this letter. Today is the second-best day to do so (sorry for the delay). https://javascript.tm/letter #JavaScript #Petition #FreeJavaScript

    Received today (25/12/2025). Thanks for the oodles of advance notice #Microsoft. And Merry Christmas to you too. ๐Ÿ˜

    Only #Microsoft could be so stupid as to break the cursor (insertion point) in Notepad. FFS. I really, really like this client I&amp;#39;m working with at the moment except for the fact they&amp;#39;re a Microsoft-house and so I&amp;#39;m having to use all kinds of incredibly substandard tech, like #Windows, #Teams, #Outlook, #OneDrive, ... ๐Ÿคฎ
