Not that surprising actually, since jQuery is bundled with WordPress.
> The order of the words is hardcoded, with “added” preceding the date. This would be incorrect in many languages, from Dutch (“1 januari toegevoegd”)

This is simply not true. Since English and Dutch are both Germanic languages they largely work the same way. Saying "Toegevoegd: 1 januari" would be just fine. By using "1 januari toevoegd" you're syntactically changing the sentence.

Apparently, this is not an interactive version of the Bible written in Bash.

In the Netherlands (where I live) most stations have gates. When you check in with ov-chipkaart [1], 10 or 20 euro are debited until you check out and the fare is settled. However, you have 60 minutes to check out at the same station without being charged. Is that so difficult?

Re:The UX of Paid Journalism on Thursday May 05, 2022 @08:37AM (#31272554)
This is why in the Netherlands we have a law that says you must be able to cancel in the same way you entered into the subscription. Did you take out the subscription online? Then you must also be able to cancel it online.
