gollark: It's very elegant, just type CSS in the box and get no (zero) feedback in case of errors.
gollark: Use the site theming mode.
gollark: osmarks.tk™ complies with the GDPR-as-probably-intended by not storing any data unless you use comments or something, so I don't actually need popus.
gollark: On """professional""""" sites there would be giant headers for no apparent reason, irrelevant slow-to-load images, and tons of cookie popups.
