- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 2 weeks ago:
I quite liked it from the beginning. I played through all of it on PC with the unpatched release version. It was not nearly as buggy as people made it out to be. The story was pretty engaging and made up for a lot of the game‘s flaws.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 weeks ago:
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The only time I use the power button is when there is an issue which has been like 4 times in 3 years maybe? I think people complaining about the power button location have never worked with macOS and are used to shittier standby in other operating systems.
- Comment on So Long WordPress. 3 weeks ago:
People really seemed to like this site I made a while ago and it performs well. But really any Wordpress site can be built well if with something like ACF and a custom coded theme.
- Comment on So Long WordPress. 3 weeks ago:
While there are quite a few agencies and solo devs that click their sites together using crap like Elementor and a bunch of no name plugins that could often be replaced by a single line of code, there are also people building building clean maintainable sites with it.
That said, I usually don’t pick it for my projects. Kirby CMS is a much more flexible alternative. For anything more complex there’s Laravel with Filament to build a nice admin panel.

I don’t know, as a millennial I always heard people that I don’t know cassette tapes or vinyls or slide projectors when I was a kid. I was in fact familiar with all of those since this old stuff doesn’t just disappear and was still used around me in some capacity.

Yeah but it has also been 2 full years since he bought it

Did anyone try this on real hardware yet? Is it made to perform well on the GameCube or does it really only work well in emulators?
- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 3 months ago:
Recently got a cheap Gamecube and now I‘m playing through Windwaker and some Double Dash every now and then. It’s insane how good the games still look that support progressive mode through the digital port.

- Comment on Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack 4 months ago:
Coding is pretty much the only way to make a site that is both flexible and fast. If you wanna stay with page builders, I’d recommend something like webflow or framer but going with these closed systems is really not that amazing longterm. You’re gonna sink a lot of money into a system that will almost certainly enshittify in the future.
If you’re willing to pick up coding, try to make your own theme with something like Advanced Custom Fields in wordpress or switch to something like Kirby CMS which is more flexible out of the box than wordpress and has great docs.

I agree. I don’t hate wordpress. It seems a bit dated by today’s standards and bloated in some aspects but you can definitely make a solid, fast website with it. It’s getting a bad reputation for its toxic plugin dev scene and crappy sites built using Elementor.

oh boy, the average wordpress site has like 30 plugins and the top bar is getting cluttered with so many plugin upsells that it fills the whole screen. There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.
It’s quite frustrating to be asked as a dev to “fix” people’s site as my usual response is “shut it off and redo it well”.
