Does ls -R make any sense with -d?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I tried to use ls -dR but I don't see any difference with ls -d. Does -R do anything when there's also -d?

POSIX says:
-R
Recursively list subdirectories encountered. When a symbolic link to a
directory is encountered, the directory shall not be recursively
listed unless the-Loption is specified. The use of-Rwith
-dor-fproduces unspecified results.
And that:
This volume of POSIX.1-2017 is frequently silent about what happens
when mutually-exclusive options are specified. Except for -R, -d, and
-f, the ls utility is required to accept multiple options from each mutually-exclusive option set without treating them as errors and to
use the behavior specified by the last option given in each
mutually-exclusive set.
So, it may or may not make sense.
