Time to look for other services then.

Good. Maybe we can go back to paying for our services instead of getting tracked everywhere we go.

missing out on great debates

There’s no great debate to be had with someone who wants to defend this clearly anti-consumer behavior. There is no way to justify this in any way, shape or form.

Good thing I still have the exploitable one with hekate installed.

Nintendo will have to visit me personally and pry my switch from my cold, dead hands.

All in all, I don’t think it’s totally anti-consumer behaviour

Lick the boot.

A company being able to remotely lock down your device is incredibly anti-consumer.

clearly PalWorld takes more than a little “inspiration” on a bunch of different Pokemon IP

There’s 1025 Pokemon at this point in time - how the hell are you supposed to create a unique pokemon at this point in time? Even pokemon can’t create unique pokemon anymore.

Ah, ITALY, my favorite gender

A company that is known for doing shitty things does shitty things.

Color me fucking surprised.

Honestly, at this point, I have ZERO sympathy for people who are still actively using microsoft products and running into problems.

Why do we fragment again? We have matrix already - why make another application.

Good that we can agree on that. :)

Karl Marx, in theory is 100% correct

No, he’s really not. He’s completely wrong. Life is about more than eating, sleeping and working. Communism is a good approach if survival of mankind is on the line, but not if we actually want to live our lives.

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.

Disagree. TotK was absolutely worth it’s pricepoint. Not even going to argue about it, the game was phenomenal.

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

Kill WordPress now.

The fact that spotify uses bright green as “fatal-error” color makes me a bit mad.

I can just play one of the many other very good jump’n’run games that do not cost that much money.

Unless a game is on a qualitative excellent level, as BotW and TotK were, I’m not paying 80 bucks for it.
