This is obviously more a risk in the US than in Europe.

I have no issues using a QWERTY keyboard, but I'll always prefer a (Belgian, not French) AZERTY keyboard to anything else. Even when coding.

Nothing is ever going to get my brain to reprogram 45 years of muscle memory.

What are recs? What is AnyRecs?

"AnyRecs Logo / Sign in with Google / made with love in France" is not what I call very informative. I will not sign in to something I have this little information about.

I used to appreciate her. Until I realised she just always takes the contrarian view and expresses it in a needlessly undiplomatic and cynical way.

There's not a chance in hell I'm trusting image hosting to a company that could go under in a couple of weeks or months.

It's not a pathetic reason. I'm 100% on Mullenweg's side here. The DNA of WordPress is to keep revisions of everything.

You may not care about the history of your website, many people do.

Some UX feedback:

- I click the link and see an image and a slogan. I can't click on anything and it's not immediately clear I need to scroll down to enter data.

- The date picker is not intuitive. Take a look at other sites that allow you to choose a start and end date: you allow start and end dates in the past, an end date before a start date, etc.

- I'm on your website to find out where I can go but I can't proceed without telling you where I cant to go. Perhaps ask me where I am now? Or give some general options?

- Once I get a result (I searched for Belgium from April 2024 to January 2024) I can't go back to the form. It's not a good idea to disable the back button.

Well, yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Israel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_United_States_for... etc.

Does the existence of these Wikipedia articles now mean that I can call any information put out by Israel or the United States "biased content" and just disregard it?

If you feel you need to go back that far it's perhaps a good idea to compare the way Jews and Christians were treated in Muslim countries with the way Jews were treated in Europe.

> No lonely text box, nor a bloated Gutenberg editor in sight. Just a simple WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor so you can write to your heart's content

Have written daily for the last 20+ years. At this point I refuse to use any CMS that doesn't have an editor that is not at least as good as Gutenberg.

What WYSIWYG editor do you use?

_Edit_: it's Suneditor. Not my idea of a good editor, and I don't really like the default font either -- see https://imgur.com/TNT44Bp

It might seem far-fetched but the theory is not based on speculation. It's supported by a substantial body of scientific evidence.

Asking for e-mail and name up front is going to scare a lot of people away. Better to show more of the thing you're giving them first, and only then ask for their data.

You said the quiet part out loud. I think you're supposed to be a little less obvious at trolling.
