good news: <select> elements can now be customised with CSS, more than 20 years after they were first added to HTML 1.0
bad news: you still can't create a combobox without custom javascript elements
what do you typically call the tool you use to select a colour from an image?
this thing: files.catbox.moe/stv3ir.avif

i honestly expected colo(u)r picker to win! 
merging the two spellings, colour picker is at 27%, which does make it the second most commonly chosen response, but it's still way behind pipette's 56%
despite photoshop calling it the eyedropper, that option is in a distant third place, losing only to turkey baster. this isn't my screenshot (i don't have photoshop), so i can't say whether they change "color sampler" to "colour sampler" if you use other english dialects
gimp calls it the colOr picker with my system set to australian english - but they do spell it as "colour" in the british english localisation ๐ฅด
inkscape calls it the "dropper tool", and prompts me to select colOUrs from the document
hilariously, KDE's kolOUrpaint calls it the "colOr picker"

Proton Brings Updates to Its Drive App and Docs, but Keeps Linux Users Waiting
Proton has updated its Drive app and Docs, but Linux users are still waiting for a native Drive app.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
I read the headline, and stopped reading. #Proton continues to suck on #Linux, still prefers privacy invasive operation systems.
I consider Proton's focus on privacy as pure marketing, as long as the focus is Windows, which wants to make a screenshot of the desktop, your mails, your docs every few seconds and upload it to OpenAI. Your encrypted mails become publicly readable, and maybe the template for mails written by Copilot.
