> It’s mostly built by “click monkeys”, as you can do a lot by clicking around the UI to build stuff.

Isn't this an almost perfect description of WordPress? It hasn't seemed to have done any harm if that's the case.

> But it’s old and even the founder abandoned it long ago around 2012.

Are you sure? On drupal.org right now one of the main links is one of the founders in a keynote video presenting the newest version.

That's aging.

When you're young you spend a lot of your time proving that you can achieve what you believe you can achieve - both for yourself and as social proof to everyone else.

Once you've done that, and are comfortable with who you are and no longer feel you need to prove your worth, you need other motivations.

At that point 'growth' may come in different forms.

Go on a holiday, give yourself time to rediscover some interests and passions.

Or just be content that you have achieved what you spent a lot of your time trying to achieve.

This is a great test to see if there is an actual WordPress open source contributor community beyond Automattic.

If no viable fork of WordPress arises out of this drama then it just goes to show that it is actually a product fully controlled by Automattic and WordPress.com and everyone else involved is just spineless with no real power or contribution.

When a single identity can dictate terms of an open source product with no genuine conversation or compromise, then it may as well be a closed source commercial product.

There should be a law similar to the Australian Consumer Law for warranties that enforces ongoing support and security updates for products purchased that need to be usable for a 'reasonably expected period'.

This would be based upon the time period that a normal person would reasonably expect a particular product to be useful for.

It would stop businesses releasing products and then abandoning them after a short period of time unless they are willing to provide refunds if they do.

Basing risk analysis on the confidence of a silicon valley huckster is the surest way to lose your shirt.

Until AI generated imagery has been tested by the legal system it may be a bit too optimistic to call this "Royalty-free, copyright-free gallery of images".

How different from a source image do these AI generated images need to be to be considered "copyright free"?

If I grab a series of photos from shutterstock, run them through a generative AI photo enhance process to improve the white balance, contrast and levels is that adequate enough to be considered "copyright free"?

Would be good to have some rationale or understanding why someone would use this other than a broad based CDN such as CloudFlare or AWS?

Are image only CDN's a sustainable market? Maybe they are, and I'm just ignorant on why websites would choose such a thing over a general CDN.

Surely if someone has enough traffic or load to require a CDN then they would want it for their whole site and not just for image resources?

Using an iPhone 15 Pro with the 80% battery capping setting for the past year, it shows that my batteries Maximum Capacity is still at 100%.

This seems to be better than the experience with any previous iPhone model, so the setting could make a difference under normal usage scenarios.

The guideline is:

5.2.2 Third-Party Sites/Services: If your app uses, accesses, monetizes access to, or displays content from a third-party service, ensure that you are specifically permitted to do so under the service’s terms of use. Authorization must be provided upon request.

So, reading from the above, if Apple thinks you are doing the dodgy then they may request specific authorization proof from you which shows that the third party is ok with what you are doing. If you can't provide it, then they will likely not approve your app submission.

I'm surprised that this app was actually allowed and approved in the first place.

Apple has an App Store rule against allowing apps or wrappers using an API or third party content without the express permission of the content owner.

Juno was likely given a pass by Apple due to the dearth of native Vision Pro video players. For instance, both YouTube and Netflix didn't have native apps available.

Perhaps Apple was a bit more lenient on Juno initially as it provided their own platform with some credibility at a critical launch stage.

Do normal people nowadays actually use bookmarks at all?

I wouldn't be surprised if 95% of people who get a new phone, for instance, never create a bookmark on its web browser.

Possibly the % is higher on desktop, but then I would guess the number of bookmarks is still probably in the magnitude of less than 5, and they could be considered more like quick launch shortcuts than a true hierarchal bookmark organisation system.

To be successful you don't really need to be clever and you don't need to be brave.

You need to get lucky, and if that doesn't work, then yes persistence is the next most important thing – keep trying until you do get lucky.
