  • @haverholm@kbin.earth I don’t know much about this plugin, but I do know it was “aquired” by Automattic… basically meaning that the developer was hired to work for Automattic. I don’t watch every episode of As WP Turns, but in the last episode of that drama I watched I think Matt announced that Automattic was scaling back their contributions to the open source aspects of WP… which would include this plugin.

    If you want to see this change, you will likely need to make the request in the form of a PR. If you don’t have the knowledge and skills required to do that (and aren’t willing to invest the time it take to gain that knowledge and skill), I suggest you start being more professional and polite when making requests for the changes you want.

    You’ve paid nothing for this code. Have some empathy for the maintainer.

    @moseschrute@lemmy.world sometimes it takes letting it play out for people to remember the leason that history could have thaught them. Do your best now to prepare for some tough times. If you own your home outright, get that basement ready for a renter. If you’ve already leveraged 80% of your home, get out from under that NOW and look for a basement to rent.

    Read some Steinbeck. Watch Idocracy. Strike up a conversation with the oldest people you cross paths with about what they remember their parents telling them about the great depression. It’s going to suck, but when someone can convince this many Americans to vote against their own interests their is a more fundamental problem.

    I personally take a little joy from the interveiws with people laid off who didn’t realize the company they worked for was producing products for federally subsidized clean energy initiatives.


  • @moseschrute@lemmy.world no need to call. @npr@flipboard.com is already on a federated social solution with 2.3 million followers. Until the end of 2020, they were also active at @NPR@mstdn.social. If you want media to prioritize these new, unownable solutions over legacy social, you have to show them there is an audience here and follow them.

    If you are from CO, please follow @coloradosun@mstdn.social and @RyeBread@toot.community.
