@DonDubya200 And don't get me started on how everything requires an internet connection and companion app - and how AI is now being crowbarred into every conceivable product. The Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf no longer seems like an absurd joke.

<rant>Everything is junk now. Vacuum makes like Bissell and Hoover. Junk. Those were considered huge names back in the day. Now? Junk. Not just vacuums either. Everything is junk now. I'm getting tired of it </rant>

@WarrenLNaida Why not double down on this approach and blame shoddy customer support on covid too? Or has that already been done...? ;)

@naomibrockwell It is shameful to witness the ongoing erosion of standards of consent in the digital realm. People's personal data has been routinely abused without their fully informed consent for decades but soon, withdrawal of consent (informed or otherwise) may no longer be possible at all.

We need a cultural transformation and to push back against the shameful language that demands we justify our desire for privacy. "What have you got to hide" needs to be replaced with "What do I choose to share"

@RocketDotNet Currently trying to accept a client's account invitation but receiving a 500 from the server when I attempt to set a password. Tested in Safari, FF, Brave and Chrome. Password satisfies all complexity requirements. Any known issues at your end?

Your web app worked wonderfully 10 years ago when I first started using it but after numerous needless UI updates it now takes so much longer to perform the same simple tasks. A classic example of business objectives overriding user objectives.

@toggl please can you revert the latest unnecessary changes to timer view? Now if I want to continue a task I started last week I have to change the date filter to find it, rather than simply clicking the start button on it as was previously possible - extra work for no benefit!

@ahrefs Does your site audit tool support zstd compression? I'm seeing a bunch of errors reporting no compression on pages that I believe were recently switched from brotli to zstd by Cloudflare. Cheers!

As computers have become more powerful, we've somewhat forgotten how to use them efficiently. Instead, we often choose to rely upon raw power for performance. Imagine how many every day resources could be saved if we routinely used the same ingenuity as the authors of Unix Spell:

Abhinav Upadhyay@abhi9u

How do you fit a 250kB dictionary in 64kB of RAM and do lookups? For reference, even gzip -9 cannot compress this file beyond 85kB. In the 1970s, Douglas McIlroy at AT&T had the same challenge when implementing the spell checker for Unix. Instead of relying on generic compression techniques, he analyzed the distribution of the data and came up with a compression algorithm which was just 0.03 bits away from the theoretical limit of possible compression. To this day, it remains unbeaten. The story of how he designed this dictionary lookup from the ground up is a lesson in software engineering. How you consider the resource constraints in front of you and design your solution to run within them. In my latest article I take you through each step of the design of this ingenious algorithm right from the scratch. (Check replies for the link)

@bhartzer @GoDaddy @Cloudflare Sounds like you have it sorted now, Bill but, if it helps in the future, it is possible to set up 301s directly in Cloudflare using Redirect Rules. Cuts out the need to configure your server if you only intend to redirect the domain elsewhere.

Bill Hartzer@bhartzer·19 Ara

A few months ago I helped a client set up a redirect from a domain they use for offline advertising to their main website. That redirect was set up on @GoDaddy, and using @Cloudflare to host the DNS for the domain. Today the client discovered that the redirect stopped working, and it started delivering a 405 error. Literally NOTHING was changed in the configuration (at least I didn't change anything). So going forward, I am not going to rely on the domain registrar for redirects. Rather, I set up the domain on my dedicated server and using .htaccess to handle the redirect. DNS is pointed to my server instead of the registrar. Check your redirects! We set them up and assume that they will continue to work. But now I have to set up a process to monitor them.

@thetafferboy You're telling me you don't want to watch 3 YouTube videos that are clearly related to your search because the titles contain the first 4 characters from your query?!

Mark Williams-Cook@thetafferboy·10 Ara

Look how bad Google is vs Bing on this same search. Looking for a window-minimising bug for very popular game "Hell Let Loose" - Google just returns results about "Helldivers 2". The entire first page is wrong. Bing returns relevant results.

@TashP351 I was wondering the other day whether they still published the Radio Times. Glad to see they still do! Nice to know I'm not the only one who used to obsessively circle all the shows and films I wanted to watch (or record to VHS)!

If I ever launched a stock photography repository I'd definitely call it 'Gravy'.

@WarrenLNaida I used Drupal many years ago. I liked its use of modules as opposed to WP's monolithic plugins. Several years later, I tinkered around with Grav and I've recently had a quick peek at Statamic too - it's clean and seems pretty powerful out of the box.

It's been a few months now since #WPDrama. Are you trying out anything new? Flirting or an actual affair? I'm looking at #Wix but actually put up a #Drupal site.

@WarrenLNaida In a way, I miss having to stand up and walk across the room to change the TV channel - it kept you committed to whatever you were watching.

@natmiletic Genuinely curious as to why so many are inactive? A client who came to me a few years ago had about the same number. It was the most I'd ever seen on a production site and, on closer inspection, it transpired there were three plugins each adding their own GA tracking code!

Nat Miletic@natmiletic·28 Kas

Client: Can you install another plugin for us? Me: Sure 🥲

Traffic is a vanity metric for digital marketing beginners. The veteran that focuses on conversions can beat a 300k traffic per month website with a 30k one. Likewise, a 30k Youtube channel with a proper offer and funnel can smoke a 300k one.
