  • Not everyone has the same prescription for both eyes.
  • This doesn't help with astigmatism.

Depends on if you own a boat.

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but if you want to bring national news attention to poor security without doing real damage, racial slurs are probably the most sure fire way to do so.

I'm not aware of any method to add a third party plugin repository. (Is the software that runs the plugin repository even open source?)

You completely missed that I was talking about installing plugins.

Not easily, honestly.

WordPress on its own is very bare bones, you're almost certainly going to want to install plugins, which by default can only be done from the builtin connection to WP servers.

WP without plugins doesn't even have basic things like gallery light boxes. Honestly it seems deliberate, since the easiest way to get a lot of basic features that should be in core is to install the automattic(the company that owns wordpress) jetpack extension, that also installs a bunch of data harvesting connections to their proprietary SaaS.

It also doesn't seem to federate their own communities to lemmy.

(Unless I'm doing it wrong, !clubsall@clubsall.com should work right?)

SEO spam has been a problem for a long time, but AI has allowed it to be accelerated to a whole new level.

I still think defederation is the biggest hurdle. It would be a lot easier if you could just tell people it didn't matter what instance they join, they will be able to follow anyone.

Usually when I mention it people will talk about all the reasons defederation exists, but it doesn't change the fact that if a normal person has to start looking up what instance they can follow uncle ReaganLover69 on, they're probably going to stay on twitter.

If you count Hel (one L) from Norse religion, older than the bible.

the idea of the snake in the Garden of Eden as having given free will and wisdom to humanity can’t be that modern of a thought, even if it would have been heretical.

In Gnosticism, the snake is sometimes identified with Jesus, while the god of the old testament is the demiurge. You're correct in that the catholic church really didn't like that.
