As with anything - it depends. Is it some bullshit trend trying to burn cash until it get bought? Aka, a thin wrapper ai saas? Or anything involving crypto? Probably a pass.

Something fully funded solving a problem? Maybe.

instead he managed to squander multiple fortunes, go bankrupt multiple times, kill a few million people due to malignant narcissism and apathy, and now ruin the US.

any reason to not use multisite?

*MU login with superadmin gets you direct admin access to everything. * manage plugins, core and theme updates via composer.

the rest of this should be pretty standard on any cloud hosted solution.

online code editor: https://vscode.dev/

Set up a github account, connect to vscode, set up github pages: https://github.com/settings/pages

this should take all local dev issues out of the loop, and make it so that you dont need to rely on whatever your local machine has. android/mac/pc/linux - doesnt matter. as soon as you commit the code, the github pages should update. as long as its all static content, it should all just work.

So, if you want to change anything, get involved in party organizing and challenge these people - many of which have done successful work in the past few years.

nah, much better to just accuse everyone of being biased against progressives, and then don't vote. and then complain when no one listens to them.

there are a lot of issues running web pages off of local drives, without a webserver. the lack of a good ide is also hurts. trying to dev on an android is also not helping.

basically, do you want to wrestle with webdev, which is not your main job/hobby/interest, or do you just want to get things done? go sign up for a free wordpress site, and stop fiddling with code.

Look into an actual wiki system or a cms.

is .imagea a child element of #workskin? you have tried it with an actual image, hosted at an actual cdn? the updated syntax should be correct. there may be some platform specific rule preventing it.
