Yeh, for 99% of casual internet users... they just aren't going to care about that.
They don't want their email/Facebook/back account pwnd.
Like, at all.

It's like saying that 0.01% of traffic fatalities are because an airbag forces your head into the roof of the car. So you should wear a helmet when driving.

You aren't wrong.
Internet is a massive part of our daily lives. We should be able to fully trust the things we use to interact with it.
But convenience is going to win

Sure, or make a good product?
That's what other companies do. They make a good product, and people then depend on it.
The shitty VC companies then enshitify.
The actual "we believe in our product" companies continue making a good product.

Well the point is that he should never have been the headline to start with.
And now all the sponsors have pulled out, because they don't want to be associated with a festival that is promoting a person like Kanye.

Maybe 3 of the 4 wheels need tightening?
So it's a loose-loose-loose-tight situation when it should be a tight-tight-tight-tight situation

He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren't idiots.
It's either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuff

Having been through university, I have no idea how I could "level up faster" without more years.
And I say that as someone that has carved out a career doing something as the (AFAIK) only person (well, freelancer at least) doing what I do in my country.

Maybe AI disrupts universities? Or AI disrupts skills?
Like AirBnB disrupted hotels, then enshitified to make airbnbs require more manual labour to stay at and cost more than a fucking standard hotel room.

I swear there was a phase where shakey-cam had just become the in-thing.
I remember watching a TV series or a movie or something where shooting had clearly wrapped before shakey-cam was popularised. And it looked like they had just added it in post. It was unnatural movement (so, not like someone was holding the camera), and there was too much of it. I had to skip a lot of the shakey-cam scenes

I thought T568B at each end was standard practice these days

Follow sensible H&S rules.
Split the responsibility between the person that decided AI is able to do this task and the company that sold the AI saying it's capable of this.

For the case of the purchasing company, obviously start with the person that chose that AI, then spread that responsibility up the employment chain. So the manager that approved it, the managers manager, all the way to the executive office & company as a whole.
If investigation shows that the purchasing company ignored sales advice, then it's all on the purchasing company.

If the investigation shows that the purchasing company followed the sales advice, then the responsibility is split, unless the purchasing company can show that they did due diligence in the purchase.
For the supplier, the person that sold that tech. If the investigation shows that the engineers approved that sales pitch, then that engineers employment chain. If the sales person ignored the devs, then the sales employment chain. Up to the executive level.

No scape goats.
Whatever happens, C office, companies, and probably a lot of managers get hauled into court.
Make it rough for everyone in the chain of purchase and supply.
If the issue is a genuine mistake, then appropriate insurance will cover any damages. If the issue is actually fraud, then EVERYONE (and the company) from the level of handover upwards should be punished

Factorio's FFF blog posts have always been amazing.
From deep dives into development, their automated testing systems, terrain generation, and hyper-fixation (in a good way) on optimisation and QoL, through to more meme-ish and lighthearted things.
Im sure there is a great story of an indie developer making the best/funnest production optimisation games out there, all in the FFF blog.

Im so glad they are writing them again, even tho im not playing it at the moment

You final get someone, but they don't want the work so they quote far too high

As has been mentioned, put the WordPress sites on different internal ports or different internal IPs (easier if they are dockerised on a docker network).
Then have nginx have the external 80/443 port binds, and reverse proxy to the WordPress instances.

This is really handy for nginx config files
