Shit, in the US a $1000 deductible is what you get with pretty good insurance

US is not my standard when it comes to healthcare.

Everyone in germany pays 14% of his income as health insurance, you do not have a choice (except for a few people), there is a MASSIVE amount of money in the system. It’s just wasted left and right, so introducing a deductible is just the dumbest thing ever.

No surprise considering CDU/CSU fucking up shit for the broad population from day one. They even suggested a 1000€ deductible for the health insurance.

Intermingling PHP and HTML is one of PHP strengths

Eeeh, no. It’s a bad practice in 2025. That was a good thing a decade ago.

Trying to modify this blocked CSS is going to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than trying to modify a bunch of printed HTML strings broken up by multiple nested conditionals. Plus it’s just straight-up easier to read and straight-forward to understand what the function does right away.

True. But I was just looking at the source code of wordpress for 30 seconds. I could probably find worse.

To harp on this even more, one of the benefits of blocking HTML in this way is IDE highlighting.

Which isn’t a problem if you use a template engine - as you should in modern applications.

I can’t think of a single system that doesn’t “stop PHP executing” at some point to output HTML in some way.

Not a single modern system does that. It’s terrible practice and won’t even pass automated code reviews with sane settings.

Your opinion was correct like 10 years ago. PHP7 made a lot of fixes to many of the problems it had and PHP8 improved on it even more. And if you slap a framework on top of it, like laravel, PHP looks awesome.

but oh man in a much better, cleaner, and more sparingly way

I don’t think we’re looking at the same source code. The first thing I see in wp-activate.php:

function wpmu_activate_stylesheet() {
	?>
	<style type="text/css">
		.wp-activate-container { width: 90%; margin: 0 auto; }
		.wp-activate-container form { margin-top: 2em; }
		#submit, #key { width: 100%; font-size: 24px; box-sizing: border-box; }
		#language { margin-top: 0.5em; }
		.wp-activate-container .error { background: #f66; color: #333; }
		span.h3 { padding: 0 8px; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: 600; }
	</style>
	<?php
}

This isn’t better nor cleaner. This is a disaster. A function that stops PHP execution halfway-through, outputs some text and then restarts PHP execution? Hell, I’ve been in the PHP ecosystem for over a decade now and I didn’t even know this was possible and I wish that knowledge was still hidden from me.

Maybe I was wrong by saying that the 4chan source code is better than wordpress, fair. Maybe I should just say both are abominations, I will not judge which one is better and both should be discarded and forgotten.

I can upload a new one. Ping me tomorrow when I’m awake again.

Wdym war propaganda, I want ukraine to remain a sovereign nation. And you can only enforce that with military power. Idk why you drink the cool-aid served by pro-russian powers within europe that claim you can “talk” to a mad dictator, but I hope it at least tastes good.

I don’t get your point. Russia still might attack NATO countries and we should’ve rearmed years ago.

And that is the only way: China needs to perusade Russia into ending the war.

There’s another way - Ukraine beats the shit out of Russia, which they currently do. Russia’s reserves of the soviet union are drained fast and they cant produce weapons of war quickly enough, let alone provide more soldiers for the meat grinder.

Arming Ukraine to the teeth to enable it to fend for itself is 100% the right choice.

I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.

Kill WordPress now.

In that case, it would make sense why they are so pro-life - more child slaves to make products. Reminds me of that one family guy episode … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd6Shxz9UUs

Probably not a fantasy, but it’s gonna cost like 3k bucks lmao

You seem to think that everyone who is voting for the AfD is radicalized, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Many people who voted for them just saw it as the only option for change. We had CDU/SPD for over a decade where the standard of living declined constantly, then we had red yellow green which tanked it completely - that’s almost every party we have available on a national level. The only options are left and AfD, and I’m gonna be honest, the left does not sound appealing to people who understand economics.

Knocking the AfD down to sub 10% would be rather simple - politics just has to shift into a direction where it’s pro-population, not pro-top1%. Plenty of stuff could be done to ease the economic pressure of the population, but they rather ensure that people stay at the right I guess.

You don’t. This is normal. Ensure key-only auth, ensure you do not login directly as root, maybe install fail2ban and you’re good. Some people move the port to a nonstandard one, but that only helps with automated scanners not determined attackers.

You could look into port-knocking if you want it really safe.

AI is being pushed into war machines big time. America and China are both working on it. With ukraine showing how incredibly effective drones are in warfare, just imagine the damage and destruction a swarm of drones controlled by an AI could cause.

First of all, no, that’s wrong. The AfD got to where they are in 12 years, and that was from 0 - do you really think it would take them another 10 years to get to the point where they are now?

Second of all, it STILL would not convince the people that the AfD is wrong and they would just fall for the next right-wing populist party. So even if it would work, it would only be a temporary solution to a major issue.

The big issue with any form of attempted suppression will not suddenly sway their voters. It would be much smarter to not give people a reason to fall for populists.

But that would be too easy, I guess.

I would appreciate it if we could just get rid of this dumbass “hate speech” rule.

Potentially unpopular opinion, but I don’t think art or artstyles should be copyrighted.
