@libreoffice @christianschwaegerl @hzulla @neil when someone offers feedback about your UI they aren’t under any obligation to cite exact reasons for their dislike nor are they required to be accurate in their comparison.

The message is they don’t like it and they don’t feel it is modern. It is enough of a concern for them that they avoid using the software.

I’m not saying I agree or that you should do anything about it, but your…

Which free hosting solution for small web projects do we like at the moment?

I'm learning nextjs with Vercel's tutorial, but do we like Vercel? What about Cloudflare? Github pages?

Porkbun is the registrar, if that makes a difference.

@mgorny @newo Learning how to get a computer to do exactly what I want it to do was much more straightforward when it was a Commodore 64 or Amiga.

As soon as I tried it on PC, the learning curve looked like a cliff. This was back in the Cyrix 133 days and it hasn't become any better.

I'm (making an effort to be) learning how to use neovim in order to learn React / Next.js and the layers of abstraction even at this level still run fairly deep.

It's becoming a little exhausting trying to keep up with what is and is not evil.

I mean... I use Windows and I buy Apple phones. In some people's eyes that's enough to write me off as an immoral spawn of Satan.

I was already trying to figure out #11ty to migrate away from WordPress.

Mainly because I'm cheap and managed WordPress hosting is costing me something like £72/year.

@multiverseofbadness that does not seem a clear cut reason to cancel.

I’m wary of “the wisdom of the internet” for a few reasons. Also, practically every company is evil. I suspect a lot of people decrying Wordpress have eaten something made by Nestle in the past week.

It’s past midnight here and I’m tired. Will evaluate in the morning.

@multiverseofbadness is that a thing I should be doing? I’m not knowingly giving them any money. I pay a UK based company for managed Wordpress hosting.

I haven’t touched the site in months.

The (quite new to the company) boss of me just opened a link in his browser whilst investigating an issue for a client.

It was porn.

@multiverseofbadness what externally looks like me procrastinating, fucking about, watching a YT video or making a fuss of the cat is me working.

Me typing on a keyboard is the very last step in the process of me working.

@Gargron I have no choice but to use Chrome professionally, but I also find it strange that FF has such a low share.

Someone got in touch with me on Reddit and now I've sent them a (pretty lowball) proposal to fix consent management for their 3 websites.

Never freelanced before. Thought about it a lot.

Already broken the golden rule, because I haven't got a contract. I need to find a reliable template or even an actual legal pro who can help.
