@npub1jpp…u59l They are two separate problems. I'm seeing a lot of discourse on how WordPress stole ACF - no, they forked it.
Performing what amounts to a supply chain attack is a different issue.

The more I watch stuff about WordPress and WPEngine get reported on, the more it becomes clear that no one understands how licensing works, despite it being an integral part of software design since licensing became necessary in the 80's.

@npub1jpp…u59l You have to imagine them.

Why is open standards and open source important?
My Synology just died after a power outage. Thankfully, it's software RAID was built on standard Linux tools.
I threw the drives into an old PC case I had lying around and booted off an Ubuntu USB stick. It detected the LVM and let me mount it to make sure my data was all good.
No messing around with special software or having to buy any hardware to get my data.
Now to spend some time making a TrueNAS Scale box.

@npub13w7…mktw I'm going to point out @npub1jpp…u59l then tried to hit an ancient Elven monument because he hates elves.

@npub1jpp…u59l This is one of the reasons I switched to VS Code. Going between Pycharm and PHPStorm gave me the same thing.

@npub1jpp…u59l Oh, cool, didn't know they had that now. Will try it out!

Any recommendations on desktop API clients? I don't want to have to have an external account with like Postman or Kong just to make some API calls.
Yes, I could use cURL or httpie, but I would rather have something that's a GUI and standalone for when I'm trying to mess around with a new API. If I was automating stuff that would be a different story.

@npub1jpp…u59l @npub1vll…ll92 The Foo Fighters didn’t pull anything either, they did great.
The Chili Peppers played last year and from everyone I knew that went they said that was a totally phoned in performance.

@npub1jpp…u59l @npub1vll…ll92 Yeah, Foo Fighters have actually played like 3 Dreamforces. I suspect the fee is well worth it.

@npub1jpp…u59l it was the Foo Fighters. They were playing for Dreamforce.
It was great.

@npub1fv9…j9ta It’s based on Chrome. I used it a bit, but I’m so used to Firefox containers for separation I went back to FF.

Updated Chrome today, and was immediately given a prompt about how my browsing preferences would be directly used to feed me ads.
Chrome auto-enabled a feature that sends sites info to send me personalized ads based on browsing history, the ability for sites to determine what I like and update the ads as I browse, and the ability for sites to measure ad effectiveness.
These are built-in features of the browser now.
STOP USING CHROME

@npub1jpp…u59l @npub1pyy…awj8 @npub1teh…qwds I did the same with a pet store - the search just modified the XML that was returned, and used XLST to format the page.
In fact, I still have the XML Bible on my shelf which has a whole section on it.

@npub1jpp…u59l @npub125e…6tve Infeel like this falls into the “3 times” rule - don’t worry about abstraction until the third similar implementation, because it won’t be until then you see how the abstraction will naturally work. Anything before that is a guess, and most likely a wrong guess.

@npub1jpp…u59l the new Default Method RFC is because people want inheritance but are so brainwashed with “composition over inheritance” debate that the only way they can reconcile this is to put implementation into interfaces.
