I'm of negative military value, but I can make money, so sending them to Ukrainian army & Come Back Alive fund. 💸💸💸💸💸 I've never taken donations for my WP&OSS work, if you ever offered - send it to Ukrainian army now, like my life depends on it. 🙏 nitter.cf/Ukraine/status/1497294…

since I last looked (Feb 25) my WordPress StackExchange account is up 400 000 people reached and 250 reputation points. yeaaah, those are just bots chewing up my content, aren't they? an elegant site for a more civilized age...

I look at overtuned youtube thumbnails and keep thinking about that kid that youtube had turned into obese off the charts eating disorder case. must be hard to ride the line of sharing something genuine, but in a way that *algorithm* likes (and ad for a crappy VPN in the middle).

how in the fresh hell do you even come up with a world view that Ukrainians should be understanding towards and thoughtful about comfort of russians killing them? (that's not just the rich moron or propagandists btw, an industry peer came at me with that early in the war)

I hadn't seen a single report of something actually compromised via php2shell, at most "scanning" and "attempts"? it's clearly Bad One, but also it's helluva news panic for something that doesn't seem easy or wide to exploit? when WP has a bad hole it's 100Ks sites hacked at once

twitter UI is so cursed now, hovering on list tabs routinely and visibly selects top tweet instead. maybe they struggled to keep the whale away in the past, but jank never felt this bad. 😒

_dumb_ stunts aside, I am kinda shocked Starlink can connect to regular unmodified mobile phones. two orders of magnitude (!!!) difference in distance. it's like a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of phone's signal power left that far. 🤯

Unless you live under a stone, everybody will have heard about PHP today. Now, please realize that the vast majority of Open Source Software, like PHP, and including PHP, is largely maintained by **unpaid volunteers**.

do LLM coding workflows ever *remove* a ton of code? that was a pinnacle of a good day in pre-LLM times (code is liability), I only ever see people waving how much code they add.

saw an ad for loans app and they are probably legally forced to mention annual rates, which it listed at something like "from 2600% to 10400%" (and I think one of my banks pitching me 70% rate loans is insane...)

I just wonder do Tesla/SpaceX have like a cadre of true believers for the outrageously stupid projects or they draw straws or something? that flying car was an insult to intelligence (which I assume is intended to keep the cultists in at this point)

LLM edutainment scripts are excellent trivia and horribly low on utility. "jeans took off because cowboy movies got popular! now go forth and apply this to your product!" yes, by all means, go put your product on a cowboy, that will do it.

I don't get why do people keep trying to badmouth usb-c online? it just freaking works for any practical purpose. is there a bunch stuck on expensive paper thin laptops with no video ports or something?

It was fun to dust off my domain industry chops and dig into the nitty gritty of TLD applications, trademark, and well... asshattery. #wordpress folks pay attention. If you think what's happening with @wpengine is ugly this would make it worse medium.com/@kelliepeterson/a… @wpdrama

sometimes I think to myself - maybe I could just do this small home repair myself, then I get a new scar and it passes.
