  • Apologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I'm not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I'll restart blogging one day), but I'm not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don't have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.

    What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?

    Edit: thanks for the suggestions so far. One key requirement is the ease of importing hundreds of WordPress posts from its output format. I don't really want to manually process them all, I did that to get them into WordPress way back when I switched to it.

  • I feel like Mozilla are in a difficult position. They're reliant on Google to exist, it seems. When they try to do something else to make an alternate revenue stream everyone says to stick to the thing they do that nobody in the world pays for.

  • Perhaps they track who you talk to and show you ads that are relevant to those people, or their best guess based on two profiles.

    I don't think there's a data center out there with a live audio stream of literally billions of always-on devices 24/7/365.

    Perhaps there's some local processing first, but devices have permissions for apps, and lights that indicate the mic/camera is in use.

    I figure someone would have figured it out by now (reverse engineering, decompiling code), or someone from Google/Apple/Samsung would have leaked it if it were true. Think of the number of people required to keep this secret.

  • I understand that people don't like Musk, I can't stand him myself, but there are enough bad things that he really did, to not have to stick to false narratives.

    The downvoting of the objectively proven truth here is like reading something on Twitter, but in the opposite direction. It's incredible to me that someone invoked Snopes and spouted the opposite of the findings of that Snopes article, and is being upvoted for it.

  • However, as Musk objected immediately and Isaacson would clarify soon after, the claim that Musk had ordered Starlink coverage in Crimea "turned off" wasn't entirely accurate. (Both CNN and The Washington Post subsequently corrected their reports.)

    From the article you linked.

    CNN and TWP both corrected what they wrote, but you know better?

  • I don't think making the end of a cable smaller is an important thing any more. We're not dealing with SCART or serial cables any more. USB C is definitely small enough. Micro and mini were small enough too.

    The complaint about the cables seems fine when the company the post is about profited from those cables. Design flaws boosted their sales.

    As for the regular USB cables eventually fraying, sure, all things have wear and tear, but some things are designed to fail faster for profits.
