It could, but it would be more challenging for them to arrest a downward spiral. Facebook is not immune to Metcalf's Law. People will log in less when half their friends are not th…

> should be fore = should be in core. Goodness knows how that typo happened.

Also: > The only new information here is that his signature was on these documents. This is what's called "confirming the story". News organisations do this all the time -- corrobo…

Oh yes. One is super.

Mmm, though I think these are two angular perspectives on the same idea, more than they are the same idea. I feel "egregious" makes more sense for the idea of these bullshit contra…

> The percentage of users that need this functionality is exceptionally low. I am not sure about this -- I do know users who rely on post-cloning to update their sites. And I don't…

> WordPress is proof that clean code doesn't matter. At least it isn't Magento.

Have a look at how "draconian" is used. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/draconian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draconian https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/Draconian…

Not sure how many really better words there are. Onerous? Extreme? Oppressive? Bullying? It does after all refer to a contract people were apparently pressured into signing when qu…

"My 'we never actually took away people's remuneration using the contracts they signed swearing them to silence' t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my…

Oh you. These people have weightier issues like the ethics of the hypothetical technological future on their capacious minds, and mustn't be dragged down to your mucky little level…

They refer to different articles, though.

Wordpress requires at least PHP 7.0... and will complain about it if it's not above 7.4 (which was released in 2019). So this to me looks like WP is progressing with PHP, just slow…

https://fullsiteediting.com/themes/ has a list, including one or two skeletons. I am tempted by Anders Norén's Björk, which is also FSE: https://andersnoren.se/teman/bjork-wordpres…

Blink is a valiant effort -- serious, quality work, that makes an enormous difference to people who need to do ad hoc work from a tablet... ... and really shouldn't be needed. (It'…

I agree about builder plugins -- they are expensive mossy lock-in. WordPress now has a full-site editing system that lets you GUI edit the templates that are in the normal flow. It…

Not parent but: https://fullsiteediting.com will help you. It's a great project.

Well, maybe not crazy. Just heavily legacy. There are a few deeply frustrating things, if you ask me: All the media files are stored in a single uploads/year/month (maybe year/mont…

Have you looked at WP-CLI? A lot of the stuff you want to do can be maintained at the command line. And it even gives you a way to do some fleet management.

If you need a simple site now you barely need any plugins at all. Something for a contact form, maybe. You do have to lean in slightly to how Gutenberg and Full Site Editing works …

One of the things that strikes me about WordPress is the way that web nerds expect to find it easy and are angered when it is not. Like everything, it takes learning. It has opinio…

In the south east of England. It's not really clear it was stolen by anyone. The only people in even slightly recorded history to really steal it buggered off a few hundred years l…

You know this is the same form of justification that used to be used for squirrelling things away in western museums?

In many cases, the USA knows the names and families of the people it stole land from. Knows their lineage. Even has photographs of some of them! In historical terms it is a recent,…

Small beer when it's also built in very large part on stolen land, eh? If giving stuff back is important (and I think it is), I'd love it if the knee-jerk thinkers of HN would star…
