More CSS containment, adopt shortcodes
...
- Adopt more shortcodes in older posts.
- Contain figures, excluding images. Slightly decreases paint times.
- Fix spacing issues for nested articles.
- Always enable vertical scrollbar, since pretty much all pages are
taller than the viewport. Eliminates a layout shift.
- Moar microdata
- Set fixed updated dates for some posts so they don't get new
date-updated values until I actually change the content significantly

details elements.
- Make details elements touch-friendly by indicating interactive region
area and making summary padded.
- Sort featured posts by featured order.
- Ensure that at least one non-interactive tappable region exists on the
screen at all times, 48x48 px.

More narrow screen optim for old browsers
...
Some old browser engines don't fully support hyphenation, so they need
some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide
viewport.
Clean up some link text too so the text alone is more useful.

Make all pages look good in 150px viewports
...
All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
Yay.
