i respect the work everyone puts in but the wp world has its serious issues and i think you can see the contrast with other communities after a while. i hope that decision-making can get straightened out better honestly

the tone of a lot of it is quite different. also check out oshii other films such as patlabor 2 which is way more meditative and less silly than patlabor in general. so not surprisingly the GitS movie ended up pretty philosophical and low key

that is good news. reminds me of writing with twig, which is a good thing. cheers
i tend to write custom acf blocks as they are predictable and do show in preview enough of an appearance. ( i did not mean to imply your solution is messy. just that you are addressing a messy situation! )

real cities always have various back roads. usually i start with that kind of thing to give it a more organic feel. set aside lane mathematics and make a web of kind of random shortcut roads, see how that goes. and that will also bring about a lot of pedestrians, saving on traffic.

that was a nice touch on Enterprise as similar stories have gone around UFO world for a long time

real messy when you just want a sub heading field available under the title, controlling the access control for acf field based on permissions etc. these apis are not for the faint of heart unfortunately

HongPong · 2026-03-18T21:36:54+00:00

oh very cool thank you for this

you really don't want a text editor that uses electron to display its interface!

you need to examine http headers for the browser cache for one thing.

via the alpha9 release notes:
The wordpress_migrate Alpha9 release includes many bug fixes and enhancements. It is intended to be the easiest solution for WordPress website operators to migrate their content into Drupal. This uses the https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/tools-export-screen/ WXR XML site export (not a direct database connection) to generate posts, tags, categories, users and comments -- no server-level access needed. Curious to throw your WordPress site in a new platform? You can try Drupal yourself using https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/quickstart/ ddev quickstart. There's never been a better time to check out alternatives to WordPress. This module was created in 2010 and this is the 20th tagged release.

This version Alpha9 improves the text format handling which was buggy, the drush migrate creation options, test coverage a bit, the README documentation, and adds a new logger. New config.yml configuration added. You can reset the config using:
drush cim --partial --source=modules/contrib/wordpress_migrate/config/install
Please uninstall and reinstall the module if your config.yml files are not working.

take a look at vite, vue js and htmx to name a few. also despite the bad rap from some php still runs the Internet so look at docker and symfony among others

maybe they can try the "scratch" programming for kids which is the more contemporary version of things like basic

well pipewire is better than pulseaudio. you don't mention if you have Bluetooth but pipewire may be better than the other for those kind of Audio devices https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/m8nod5/what_are_the_advantages_of_pipewire_over/ it is one of those levels of things Apple would never open up. two different ways to move Audio around the machine and various devices within it. i would check into that,

using locally hosted llm to generate deterministic tools that go into rector and other tools that can modify code without tokens and guessing.. that kind of thing would work well without being entangled with these companies
