@markjaquith @thechosenberg WHAT AGE DOES ALL CAPS INDICATE?

@thechosenberg And that age is 25

past a certain age a man still typing in lowercase can be a bad thing, believe me

"What is happening?!" indeed, X!

Ok, I gotta be honest. I've been building a personal website on WordPress using Gutenberg full-site editing on-and-off for a week. And it's kind of not bad. It has its pain points for me as a developer ("why can't I add media queries to this?" etc.), but I kind of like it TBH.

@OneFineJay Literally me?

Hey did you all know that Sen. Deb Fishcher’s husband also aggressively places the checkout divider between his groceries and those of the one behind him?

I see your TALL stack and raise you a TWALL stack Tailwind WordPress Alpine Livewire Laravel Nobody asked for this but I guarantee you it exists

@markjaquith Aside from aluminum, the only good long-term reason to recycle is to keep landfills from filling up as fast. Reuse of glass is also a good strategy.

Recycling is mostly nonsense and environmentally counterproductive (with some notable exceptions). But “garbage that smells” vs “garbage that doesn’t smell” is a real and practical concern that perhaps justifies making people think that recycling is super important.

@CalEvans @WordPress github.com/aspirepress/.g… federation is an explicit goal on their roadmap.

@johnpbloch @WordPress I'm keeping an eye on them. I know somone in that project. Not sure if this is their plan or if they are building another single point of failure, just not one owned by the mad king.

What the @WordPress community needs at this point is a distributed Plugins and Themes repository. (Strictly, IMHO) I would love to see it git (not github) based. Anyone (a host perhaps) could fire up a node and register with another public node. Once registered, it would distribute similarly to DNS. Plugins are not uploaded to the network, but the network is notified of their existence. Similar to #PHPs composer and packagist, but distributed. A Plugin could be created to tell a WP instance to use this distributed system instead of WPO. (or, when this becomes popular and matt disables the ability to do so, a hack of core could be distributed...this will happen) The thing I like about this is there is no single point of failure. The plugin would know of multiple nodes so even if one is down, they could easily query the second or third in the list. An ambitious entrepreneur could create a private node that applies virus and security scanning to plugins and themes before they are listed in their private repo. This would ensure that the plugins or themes listed in THEIR version of the repo are secure. Someone like @wordfence would be ideal, but since it's distributed, there could be multiple secure for-profit repos. There are some obvious security holes in the idea but nothing that cannot be solved. The happy path on this idea would take less than a month to code up. If we could get a couple of hosts to agree to host the first nodes (I'm looking at you my favorite WordPress host, @SiteGround ) then I believe it would start to take off. It solves the problem of WPO being used as a hammer against any group or the community at large. (It WILL happen) BONUS POINTS: In addition to a node, enterprising hosts could actually mirror the plugins themselves. (git pull) This way, their customers would always have access to the last one they pulled down. It's just a thought.

I've switched all my computers back to Linux again, this time just going with base Debian. Most impressive has been how well it works on my Surface Book 3

@johnpbloch Are you going to start your own WordPress news site? You can be Editor in Chief of the BlochEditor.com

I'm not going to weigh in on #wpdrama but boy howdy am I wasting time watching it

I don't have time to care what Matt and WP Engine think about each other, I used composer to install laravel/framework in a wordpress app and now the warp horrors are trying to escape through my monitor again

@EricMann Your opinion that that's annoying is wrong 😉

For the record: I have no problem with people thinking my opinions on various things are wrong. And, so long as you're respectful, I'm happy to engage about it. Or you can ignore me. But to publicly label me as full of shit WITHOUT bothering to even engage is ... Annoying.

What is old is new again

@CoenJacobs Based on community adoption rates, this certainly does qualify as unpopular 😅

Unpopular opinion 🔥: If you are still not using Composer when building WordPress plugins or themes, you are doing it wrong. Still, so many arguments against it float around in the WordPress ecosystem that make zero sense. It's time we grow up.

@JJJ I hate-liked this.

What's your favorite way to check if an integer is even? Mine is $int >> 1 << 1 === $int
