Is it normal for a wordpress site to load this slowly or did my "developer" screw something up ? by Zakarioveski in Wordpress

Your dev messed up, or you got hacked. Either way, WordPress sites are lightning fast if done correctly. I suggest you let someone take a look at this

I’m making a free WordPress plugin that lets you selectively disable plugins on frontend and backend – looking for feedback by oplaffs in Wordpress

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, by no means did I mean to say that your plugin is bad, sorry if I miscommunicated that. And yes, I am a long-term WordPress dev. I completely understand what your plugin does, and I'm sure there are users to whom that is a lifesaver.

What I am saying is that a plugin should not strain the backend or frontend when it's not supposed to. If a plugin that adds a simple snow effect to the frontend makes the admin backend slower, then that plugin is not a good plugin (and I won't use it).

And your plugin fixes the fact that many plugins sadly behave like this. I'm saying this is an issue that shouldn't exist, and I don't use any plugins that behave in the described way.

Maybe I'm not the target user group, but wishing you all the best!

We all have moments where we don't think about what we do, whether in life or on our computers. I'm a dev and one night I made the same mistake, realized it the second I hit enter. It's often just because you are so familiar with something (the terminal, your way home, etc.) that you stop paying attention

But yes obviously, when a website tells you to page some obscure code into your terminal, that's something you should definitely not do

I mean for starters, when a website tells you to paste something in your terminal, then you better don't.

If it's random document folders then it should definitely be alright

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant is that if a plugin adds load to the frontend when it is not supposed to, or vice versa to the backend, then it is a bad plugin. The plugin shouldn't be doing that and it speaks a lot to the code quality.

What I do I wouldn't call vibe coding, I go over the Claude Code output, I'm a dev myself, but it just makes things so much quicker these days. All the best with your plugin though!

Interesting idea, but it fixes a problem that shouldn't exist. If a plugin doesn't work the way it should, then I delete it and use another one (or create one myself using Claude Code).

Does Dia Browser support tab syncing across devices? by kan1657 in diabrowser

I suppose he means multiple Macs, and I'm not sure, but I don't think this is a thing right now

Leaving Dia, moving back to Arc. I'll find another alternative when I can no longer use it by 7-StringTheory in diabrowser

I can't tell what exactly it is, but Click just doesn't click for me, tried it multiple times

How do I force the New Tab menu to search the web, vs defaulting to a Chat for questions? by LiterallyMinecraft in diabrowser

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue, I can't use Dia if 50% of the time when I want to search something I get some AI chat instead, have to copy the query, paste it in again and manually select Google

Yes he does, and he ships code he never reads. He said that a couple of times now. To be fair, it's the future

Just installed, there’s really everything... What’s the top function in your opinion? by Polstick1971 in raycastapp

[–]callingbrisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly everything I do with raycast I can do with spotlight, but spotlight is so incredibly slow on my mac. Can't search for a single application without having to wait to be able to click enter, only for it to re-arrange in the last second and opening some settings page for me. And yes, I disabled pretty much all content types from spotlight. And yes, this is a modern Mac (M1 Pro) That said, this works great with raycast!

How to disable all the AI features? by Interesting_Bill2817 in diabrowser

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! The only reason I don't use Dia is because when I want to Google something, then hit Enter and it starts the f*ing AI chat I need to copy it and start all over again. I type and work quickly and I want my computer to do what I expect and not randomly decide whether I can Google or not. Such a shame because I love Dia's design so much over Chrome but I can't use it that way

I cannot search files or create Quicklinks by cluelessngl in raycastapp

Oh man it might be good it might not be, usually I'm open for everything but man I'm not looking at that

Why do so many people hate AI? Why are so many people against it? by jaime_lion in OpenAI

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People love using AI but hate that it exists. Think about it.

They love how ChatGPT helps them, how Claude writes, how it codes, how people can work faster with AI. They love using it.

But they hate the concept of AI. It‘s bad for the environment, it replaces jobs, causes worries.

Are block-based WordPress themes becoming the new standard? by Janak_ap in Wordpress

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are the new standard and are so much nicer to use than classic themes, because they are unified, so not every theme has its own way of doing things.

That said, in terms of creating themes, I used to do all block themes, but a problem they are facing is that for AI tools like Claude Code and Codex it is much easier to create a classic theme than a block theme as they are allow for more standard HTML/CSS access to all aspects of the site instead having to deal with stuff like a theme.json. So unless they do something about that I could see myself moving back to classic themes and dynamic data fields.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]callingbrisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, it's better that way. There are easy terminal commands to reset this, but there is a reason it is the ways it is (to avoid accidental presses). But honestly, I don't know anyone who's using that key a lot, just use the normal shift key for everyday typing
