But if you bring everyone down with you, You don't have to pay anything to anyone. It's not like Donald Trump didn't use this exact strategy already when he had to get out of debt from his private ventures.

If you spend that much money on ads you should be a Google Ad partner, and you usually get to have a dedicated, on-call support agent directly from Google. We had a similar situation arise once (big marketing agency in EU), up to that day I

I'm still wondering who's the target audience for something like Gutenberg. - A bastardized version of React whose state is stored in...HTML comments and WordPress shortcodes. It's extremely brittle and even simply updating a

From what I've seen around it will be a WordPress website still, running some at-best-once-updated version of Divi/Elementor/WpBakery, built using their equally terrible new AI tools.

Paypal is somewhat common in Italy for lunch-money amounts, a few local alternatives are available (sumUp and Satispay mainly) but for anything more than 100€ everybody uses SEPA transfers.

I wonder how did they even know about A/I. To give a bit of context, A/I has always been closer to a conceptual group than an active hacking organization. Think Luther Blisset[1], or for a more US-centric community, the Yes-Men gr

I remember one of the original developers explaining in a blog post that MMX support came right before the original release and was added just for Dolby Surround, unfortunately can't find it anywhere. The remaining references available

The issue with current day "nerd culture" is that it's extremely self-referential. There's no space for anything outside of extremely codified artistic norms and genres. Techno-feudalistic art for a techno-feudalistic ag
