That's a fair criticism. WordPress definitely lacks a lot of seemingly basic features, like a contact form, a decent user management system, etc. I guess if there's one thing that might be attracting people to hosted solutions, it

This is arguably what's so dangerous about a plugin ecosystem in general. On the one hand, you can quickly implement a bunch of useful new functionality at the drop of a hat, and that's obviously incredibly useful for non technica

The issue is that the block editor and classic editor have very different audiences. In theory, the former is for the folks who'd use SquareSpace, Wix, etc. Non technical folks who want to customise everything in a 'user friendly&

Isn't this kinda expected? Most sites have fairly 'boring' needs, and hence the plugins they use solve 'boring' problems. Like a contact form, improved SEO or security, etc. If you did a similar survey for the most

Nothing says you can't sorta do both. You can have a simple but clean looking website that both makes people nostalgic for the old days yet is still easy to navigate in the modern era, and that website can be part of whatever webrings

Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury could be good choices, since both contain secondary characters for player 2 that can move, hurt enemies and interact with the environment, but can't actually take damage from anything and are

Not at the moment, as unfortunate as that may be. Same with Mastodon, BlueSky, Cohost, etc. And the main reason for that is very simple; if there's an interesting new story, discussion, discovery, etc, it's still almost certainly

Honestly, I think the answer is 'keep the site/community very niche'. Since the more niche the topic, the more the community both tends to stay civil and stick to the original vision. The somewhat more general gaming communit

This is going to sound insane, but probably the Nintendo Switch (or maybe the capture card I got after that). That ended up kickstarting my YouTube channel and internet presence a ton, including my most popular video, and launched my commun

As someone who did study a liberal arts esque degree (philosophy in this case), it definitely didn't make me consider a real life Jurassic Park a bad idea, or question a lot of science and tech and their possible uses. Heck, you could

Yeah, this is very accurate. Which in turn is why games journalism is such a broken industry in of itself, because it mixes all the problems of the games industry as a whole (people accepting miserable wages for a 'dream job', fai

The best solution is to make sure attempts to 'cancel' people don't work. Ignore the pressure to fire or get rid of employees who offend people, ignore online protests and avoid supporting companies that prioritise said views

Honestly, for this one? I'd bet slightly more optimistically than normal, simply because it's not a service/product Mozilla themselves are launching. They're merely becoming part of the Fediverse, which isn't depend

My experience is usually the opposite to be honest. When I look on any forum or social network dedicated to an art form/creative form, it's usually the rich and successful saying how it's all about skill and how their hard wo

Yep, I've seen quite a few sites do that. I think one of them even does that for people who access their content from Hacker News.

I've had no issues with either Chrome or Firefox in Incognito with uBlock Origin. But I do kinda wonder if the fact I have YouTube Premium on one of my accounts in Chrome means Google isn't trying too hard to block my IP/dete

Hmm, I'm still in my 30s now, but I guess it'd be that I regret not getting a second opinion on my dental health/seeing a different dentist. All the health problems I'm having at the moment (and the appointments necessar

I'd say the following are my two main frustrations: 1. Poor planning and scope changes for tickets and projects. Nothing more infuriating than starting work and realising that the task is more complex than expected/has more moving

Hmm, is it a console bought for homebrew/modding purposes, or someone who actually left it this long to buy the console for 'official' games? Kinda want to see an interview with this mystery person to find out!

Still not sure whether this is for SEO reasons (needs more unique content to rank) or legal ones (recipes alone are not copyrightable), but it's definitely led to a perfect storm of bad content and filler bullshit. Also remember hearin

Well, it's a mix of our perceptions changing due to the internet, social media and news driven culture, and things actually going wrong. For the former, the news has created a polarised landscape where the negatives are put under the s

Yeah, I am. And based on how things like the Google Graveyard have become a meme, and how people are generally very skeptical of using new products from Alphabet due to the chance of a quick shut down, it seems a lot of others are too. Heck

Not even just compared to individuals, but even to smaller competitors. If a smaller company acted like Booking did here, they'd be sued into oblivion or out of business in no time. Same with a shop that sold counterfeit goods as casua

I get the skepticism, but I've never seen people pay for a social media site en masse. If Twitter/X changes that I'll be very surprised (and probably disappointed in humanity's unwillingness to let go of the past).

Well it's not just scale. It's also a series of business decisions that hurt civility in various ways: 1. Focus on engagement means a focus on rage inducing, soundbite esque content that provokes anger rather than a reasonable con

This is why third party CMS themes and plugins can be a minefield. You're dependent on code you didn't write/don't know about to keep your site working, with no guarantee it'll be updated/keep working in future

Fortunately there is a fan run project that's working on recreating the online services for these consoles/games, in the same way that Wiimmfi has gotten the DS and Wii's multiplayer functionality up and running. See the Pret
