Incorporate feedback from TWIM discussion
This article received some good feedback from #twim:matrix.org in
Matrix. Some clarifications I made:

- @cos:hacklab.fi mentioned that Element/Synapse are open-source; I
  opened the article by mentioning that FOSS alone isn't enough and
  added a note on their complexity to the matrix/element case-study
- @sorunome:sorunome.de mentioned that there is no "reference
  implementation" of Matrix; I rephrased a sentence to state that
  Element "practically serves as the reference client implementation".
- Clarify that Element builds "most of" the spec instead of being in
  charge of it; the Spec Core Team (SCT) is a different entity but is
  made mostly of Element employees.
- Changed leaving implementations out of decisions to leaving
  implementation feasibility out of decisions.

Indieweb: add u-photo and h-entry where relevant
Inspired by the h-entry implementation on Charlie Owen's personal
website: https://whalecoiner.com

The u-photo re-uses the 32px favicon that the browser has already
cached, so it shouldn't bloat up the page anymore.

These changes required a bit of additional CSS. I snuck in come color
changes too.

CLS: Declare original image dimensions in HTML
Reduce Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) by declaring original image
dimensions in HTML before re-scaling with CSS. This tells browsers the
image's aspect ratio before the image and the stylesheet load, allowing
browsers to block out space accordingly to avoid making elements "jump"
during loading.

Batman!! (this commit has no parents)
The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists
and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our
ideas about human uniqueness.

Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need
for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig?

To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and
anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex
activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet.
However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively
demanding.

JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the
minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with
them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly
unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and
block scope.
