Yeah. That’s how installing an exe has worked for a long time.

The output isn’t interesting to me. I clicked around in both and it seemed kind of neat but like a portfolio project for school and certainly not art that would engage me.

I’m not sure how this causes an identity crisis. But if my purpose in life was to churn out random stuff that wasn’t meaningful to people, I would assume that I would be crisising much earlier than now.

> There's no shortage of alternatives. Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, Craft, Statamic

That I like about wordpress is that it is free and has no subscription costs. I run it on my cheap host and pay $0/month (patching myself, etc etc).

I don’t think stuff like Wix and SquareSpace are valid competitors as I don’t want to pay a monthly fee.

Right, me too. I assume everyone running PHP had tons of hits to that. Been that way for like 20 years, but that doesn’t mean probers get past that.

And now you make money by selling something that’s not WordPress. It biases your whole argument.

“I used to sell Coke. Coke is terrible now. Buy PrependCola, it’s amazing.”

See how that would make all the blarg I write less trustworthy?

They have a lot of downtime. I use github actions and it’s down multiple times each week.

I like github, but it’s getting kind of nuts.

I think the property taxes go up as the land captured is usually fallow so it goes from negligible property tax revenue to small. And although there aren't a ton of jobs like a factory, it's still jobs that wouldn't exist as data centers use land that literally no one else wants to do anything with.

Isn't the issue with upgrading the insecurity of litellm and its inability to prevent being pwned?

How did you address this issue?

I certainly may be. It doesn't seem ridiculous to me. I've read through all the follow on comments and aside from people saying it's ridiculous, I don't get why others think it so.

I certainly wouldn't stare at it until it exploded. I would run away as fast as I could.

It's odd that you think the exclusive options are 1) do nothing; 2) pick up and throw away

Of course, it's extremely unlikely I'd be in any crowd with you. Because we are likely very far apart geographically. And I work to avoid any crowds that may involve flash bang grenades thrown into them. So far, I have an excellent success ratio and expect it to stay steady.

I think kids are seeing videos of people throwing these and, of course, only the successful videos make it to their feeds. As the unsuccessful ones are bloody enough to get filtered out.

Your comment seems a bit hostile and ill willed as there are many who become shell shocked in these situations and freeze up. This doesn't make it "morally bankrupt." It just makes them human.

Good luck with your moral high horse and being so superior. I hope you retain all your digits.

Yes, I think I would react pretty rationally- run away or duck and cover. Zero chance I pick it up. And I was a super stupid and irrational teen. (And am still rather stupid and irrational)

I think their point is that one should never pick up a flash bang grenade. Especially one that has been fired at you and is about to explode.

I think it’s a pretty good life lesson to follow. Both not to be someone in a position to fire them and to not be throwing them back.

Seems like one of many “don’t do stupid high risk things” rules like avoiding base jumping or Johannesburg at night.

This is why I don’t like passkeys. I’m surprised the “use site from multiple devices” use case isn’t more common.

Am I nuts for accessing a site from both my mobile phone as well as from the multiple computers I use?

This also gets super messy when combined with multi-site auth services like id.me where I need to use the same login to access very diverse sites and services from multiple computers (eg, irs.gov, treasurydirect.gov, disburser.treasury.gov).

I’m in the US in a top 10 metro area.

Before checkout, it’s a generic “free super saver shipping” then a few hours after with proper estimates.
