If you hear more yipping and awooing than usual today

Then as mention over on the fediverse, don't worry. It's full moon day which also means it's Werefox Scouts Activity Day. It's just the local kits enjoying various activities.

Current Mood: grumpy

As an IT person: the technology field bleeping sucks

Currently being bitten by the computer industry's inability to actually pick or stick with standards. Especially annoying as I'm at a satellite location a three quarter hour drive from the office, so I can't just go back and spend fifteen minutes digging through drawers and then come back. At least not and come back today. Please, all I ask for is five, maybe ten minutes alone with a handful of industry CEOs and an illegally powerful electric cattle prod. Or to just get to send the whole senior management teams of most of the tech companies on a one way trip to Mars. Fluff can exile a dozen or so tech leaders, as a treat?

WordPress announces plan to hit self less

WordPress concludes after shooting self in foot, then other foot, then both ankles, both knees, and aiming at a hip that maybe, possibly, this might be a slightly less than ideal strategy. And this from a source that seems to side with Automattic in the Automattic/WPEngine lawsuit. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/wordpress-unpauses-development-but-has-it-run-out-of-time/548199/

I was going to say I was shocked it hadn't been forked yet, but apparently it has, just no fork appears to have gained traction yet. Although ClassicPress looks interesting, at a glance it looks like they stripped WP back a ways, removed javascript that was doing things that modern browsers and html5 will do without javascript, and set about cleaning what javascript remained or replacing with libraries still in active use and development.
