Time to look for other services then.

Good. Maybe we can go back to paying for our services instead of getting tracked everywhere we go.

Hard to attack an atomic super power

You can’t take an offensive against the information war because that would quickly result in authoritarian practices where certain kinds of information are suppressed - you do not want to go there at all.

Social media killed media literacy, that’s the issue. We need to rebuild that.

Wait that’s a question? Of course they are doing that.

Russia is also behind man of the far-right parties in europe, like the AfD in germany and the GRN in france. It’s old news at this point honestly.

Holy shit I’m not getting pissy about anything I’m saying I WISH PEOPLE WOULD MAKE MORE INFORMED DECISIONS IN OTHER AREAS OF THEIR DAILY LIFE

I don’t feel like that’s an “informed” decision. It’s a decision because they hate trump. There’s nothing wrong with that, vote with your wallet for any reason, but I just feel like people could do a lot of good in the world if they just did a bit more informing. Then they wouldn’t buy stuff from companies that try to fuck them over.

Shit like apple, samsung, nestle etc. wouldn’t exist today in that form if people would make more informed purchasing decisions.

I love when people vote with their wallets.

However, I do wish that people would do it because of informed decision making instead out of spite.

Babe wake up, new gender just dropped

He does the Nazi salute on the big stage and it shocked when he gets a collective middle finger salute back.

To be fair - people haven’t given a shit in years about the nasty stuff companies and their owners do. He probably just expected it to continue that way.

By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced

Ah yes, we’ve already discovered everything. Science is over, everyone, let’s go home.

Why did you ask then.

Only one dog and only little interest in travel, but correct otherwise. More of a spa person.

Intermingling PHP and HTML is one of PHP strengths

Eeeh, no. It’s a bad practice in 2025. That was a good thing a decade ago.

Trying to modify this blocked CSS is going to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than trying to modify a bunch of printed HTML strings broken up by multiple nested conditionals. Plus it’s just straight-up easier to read and straight-forward to understand what the function does right away.

True. But I was just looking at the source code of wordpress for 30 seconds. I could probably find worse.

To harp on this even more, one of the benefits of blocking HTML in this way is IDE highlighting.

Which isn’t a problem if you use a template engine - as you should in modern applications.

I can’t think of a single system that doesn’t “stop PHP executing” at some point to output HTML in some way.

Not a single modern system does that. It’s terrible practice and won’t even pass automated code reviews with sane settings.

Your opinion was correct like 10 years ago. PHP7 made a lot of fixes to many of the problems it had and PHP8 improved on it even more. And if you slap a framework on top of it, like laravel, PHP looks awesome.

but oh man in a much better, cleaner, and more sparingly way

I don’t think we’re looking at the same source code. The first thing I see in wp-activate.php:

function wpmu_activate_stylesheet() {
	?>
	<style type="text/css">
		.wp-activate-container { width: 90%; margin: 0 auto; }
		.wp-activate-container form { margin-top: 2em; }
		#submit, #key { width: 100%; font-size: 24px; box-sizing: border-box; }
		#language { margin-top: 0.5em; }
		.wp-activate-container .error { background: #f66; color: #333; }
		span.h3 { padding: 0 8px; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: 600; }
	</style>
	<?php
}

This isn’t better nor cleaner. This is a disaster. A function that stops PHP execution halfway-through, outputs some text and then restarts PHP execution? Hell, I’ve been in the PHP ecosystem for over a decade now and I didn’t even know this was possible and I wish that knowledge was still hidden from me.

Maybe I was wrong by saying that the 4chan source code is better than wordpress, fair. Maybe I should just say both are abominations, I will not judge which one is better and both should be discarded and forgotten.

I can upload a new one. Ping me tomorrow when I’m awake again.

I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.

Kill WordPress now.

Not relevant to the headline, but why the fuck would greenland want independence? Unless they are excited for digging up their entire country (which I would assume they don’t want as they like the landscape as it is afaik), they are completely reliant on danish funding.
