what is unique about those hosts with regards to plugin security?

have you ever heard of caching? because it can do the exact same thing as what you just described, yet WP can also be dynamic, have visual page and post builders, etc...

yeah, jj + jjui is such an exceedingly pleasant experience that I can't imagine trying something else.

Nothing stopping you. Check out datastar instead though.

I don't have a skyscraper job, or even a low-rise, but I appreciate this article nonetheless as someone who has been self-learning how to turn a rickety shed project into perhaps a sturdy low-mid rise.

I've gone down endless lengthy detours that often lead to dead ends, but I've learned an immense amount from the OS to CSS. It's finally coming together in a simpler way than I had previously envisioned. Hopefully this year it'll be ready.

I used edge ever since it was chromium-based, but I moved to linux and vivaldi 6 months ago and never looked back.

What plugin-free headless capability do you envision for WP? Isn't that what the REST API is for? And isn't plugin-free WP effectively useless?

What is always astounding to me is that people talk as if caching isn't a thing. It could hardly be easier to cache the html output from wordpress at either the webserver or CDN level, and it will perform just the same as any "static site" (of course, images, css etc will dictate how it performs once the browser receives the cached html)

Yes, I tried a tiling window manager for about an hour and then stopped. It was absolute madness as the window size and positioning was seemingly random. I can't comprehend how anyone can use them

New comment by nchmy in "EmDash Feedback"

nchmy — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:05:06 +0000

Putting aside the childish and petty commentary throughout the post, 5 of the 7 points of "Critical feedback" aren't even feedback at all.

1. I have a colleague named emdash

2. I think it's well made

3. I think some people will use this

6. The skills are a good idea. We should do the same.

7. You copied things that we plan to kill. But I won't say which things, despite the primacy of open source and democratization.

And the actual feedback was weak

4. Ui not great. Totally doesn't meet WordPress' famously great Ui.

5. Should have used the fabulous Gutenberg rather than tinymce

(I actually agree with #5 though - it was my first observation. Doesn't necessarily need to use Gutenberg, but some sort of graphical page/post builder)

And he backs up his claim that they haven't solved plugin security by saying "oh actually they have, but only if you use it on cloudflare, which surely you would. And should, because I own cloudflare stock"

Par for the course from the internet's most narcissistic Matt.

Thanks. Though, I can't find much about it's capabilities. Does it do "automatic" tiling, where windows just snap automatically into spaces and resize? Because popos can optionally do that too, but it's not what I'm looking for.

I want Windows-like functionality where new windows are full size and then I can use windows key+ arrow keys to resize and it will then automatically prompt me to select a window to snap into the remaining space. That's what's missing in popos

Came to say this as well. Started with delta, then found difftastic.

Even better is using it via jjui, a fantastic TUI for jj vcs

I moved from Windows to Pop_Os! 6 months ago and am generally quite happy except for the window tiling. It really is fantastic in windows.
