   It works if you use the default autoplay blocker setting ("block audio"). Probably you are using the setting "block audio and video" as default (I use that too) and in our case we have to whitelist it.

   Assuming that those audio speakers are at ear height (I assume they are since those IsoAcoustics stands allow tilting but there is no tilt in the picture) then IMHO the display is placed too high, ideally you want your eyes level just below

   I have been enjoying the new version that just came out yesterday, they implemented a new video player and IMHO the user experience is much improved, if the UI glitches you mentioned were related to the player, maybe you could give it a try

    I get where you're coming from but I find it more likely that most people will just move to Squarespace, Wix etc. - away from open source and towards proprietary platforms.

    I agree and that is also my fear. That would mean that people will just move to something proprietary like Squarespace or Wix. This type of shift has happened many times before in tech so I consider it likely.

    I hope Matt can get better but in the meantime, the community needs to fork. In the same way that LibreOffice forked from OpenOffice. Otherwise the blogosphere is just going to adopt one of the competing platforms and many of them (at least

    Yeah that's the problem. I used to be on Brave but having to download v2-only extensions[1] manually from each developer's website was a pain. I am on a Firefox-based browser now and extensions are synced across all my computers a
