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 there, meaning fewer ad impressions. And that's if y

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 contracts in the general case -- the idea that a lawyer

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 quitting (and not when signing up), that apparently offered no

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 of discussing the ethics of the very real business pre

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 slowly. Frankly I don't have a massive problem with th

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's not the only useful tool on the iPad -- I adore

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 is not what I would call easy to master at the code level,

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/month/day) directory, which can mean some ve

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 -- I recommend this amazing documentation site: https:&#x

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 opinions. It has some crazy history (I really wish media items w

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, deliberate, judicially-supported, documented theft. Not som

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 start by looking at where they live and which tribe it

There's a surprising amount of debate in this thread on the rights and wrongs of this topic. As a matter of simple efficiency, what I suggest to you all is that you imagine this was being rolled out by the British government. Because t
