There's a #guitar on Reverb that usually sells for $3-5k for $1,998 and I still won't buy it. I've had my eye on the specific model for a while, but now that the opportunity arises to actually get an amazing deal, I realize that I just don't need any more guitars.
@NeadReport I imagine that whatever people are using then will be operating on entirely different technology. I don't think WordPress will adapt with a succession of changes that may very well begin with the doing away of the web page.
I wonder how many people still have the mp3's they downloaded from Napster way back when, and how many still have Compact Discs lying around. Which is likely to be the higher number? #music
@NeadReport My CD's outlived my mp3 collection, which was quite large at one time. I just use Spotify now, which means I don't own any of the music I listen to, so that is a downside.
Has anyone ever logged into #wordpress and seen this? It's going back-and-forth between things looking normal, and looking messed up. I've tried disabling all plugins. It started after I used the WP Migration plugin, which is no longer installed.
Does #eBay still have #rssfeeds? I know they once did. I'm trying to monitor stuff with a program, and eBay think it's suspicious. #RSS would be a great workaround for that.
@NeadReport One of the reasons I'm checking out the program I'm trying to use is to get away from sites like that. I can do RSS, or get highlighted changes of pages. eBay detected that I was trying to save the page immediately.
@fuser@Lem0n Regarding articles, I just save them to a read-later app that strips them of all the crap. If the site won't let me, I'll find another source reporting the same information, and save it to read later. If this process ultimately fails without a saved page, I won't read the article.
Google proposed adding DRM to Chrome, which will be used to stop ad blockers, privacy tools, password plugins, accessibility/reader modes.
The only way to stop Google’s Chrome from wrecking the internet like Internet Explorer did for many year to switch to a NOT chromium-based browser as soon as possible for your day to day. You’ve got Safari, and Firefox as your choices.
I know you’ll have to use Chrome sometimes because it’s already happening.
The thing that blows my mind about publisher CMS use in general is that there's no real alternative to WordPress. Impressive to see how this happened - and in an open source context where someone absolutely could build something new and 100% compatible.
Google is already pushing Web Environment Integrity into Chromium (github.com)
