Im a web dev and I build almost all of my sites without cookie banner unless they’re really required (YouTube embeds, invasive tracking etc) and when I don’t include a banner, people usually think I forgot it.

It’s a shame that most people think the internet just has to be crap now and every site needs some dark pattern banner to track its users.

I thought he was practicing to do that with Trump.

What works best for me is the web version on desktop with an ad blocker. Runs relatively smoothly, no annoying ads.

Except that most of Western Europe for example has essentially free tuition, exactly because people recognize how important education is. Germany for example even has interest free loans for students on top of very low tuition fees (500€ / year) and subsidized housing and transport.

Not to mention that no other OECD country except for Japan still has it.

Open AI‘s newest model is priced at 200 $ / month since they have been bleeding money and desperately need to earn some cash. This is probably the first sign of the bubble collapsing.

Seriously, pretty much all people I‘ve met who are offended by LGBTQ people have either suppressed desires or are really insecure about their own sexuality in some way.

It’s like that Hungarian minister who constantly attacked gay people until he was found by police at an illegal gay orgy in Brussels (illegal since it was during Covid lockdowns).

Spam.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The only time I use the power button is when there is an issue which has been like 4 times in 3 years maybe? I think people complaining about the power button location have never worked with macOS and are used to shittier standby in other operating systems.

People really seemed to like this site I made a while ago and it performs well. But really any Wordpress site can be built well if with something like ACF and a custom coded theme.

While there are quite a few agencies and solo devs that click their sites together using crap like Elementor and a bunch of no name plugins that could often be replaced by a single line of code, there are also people building building clean maintainable sites with it.

That said, I usually don’t pick it for my projects. Kirby CMS is a much more flexible alternative. For anything more complex there’s Laravel with Filament to build a nice admin panel.

That would be great but the reality is that client’s mindsets need to change. I tried to explain to a client that Wordpress is not a good fit for their complex web application and yet they didn’t wanna switch to anything else. People are way too worried about new tech and wanna stick with whatever they know, even if it causes massive problems.
