Just slap the “Linux” onto any post and immediately get more upvotes on Lemmy.

It’s just YAML…

Their free services are extremely useful and you can’t find that anywhere else. I’ve used them for years with hundreds of domains and never paid them a single dime.

I’ve always wondered how well that actually works. Anyone go through this process?

Namecheap is alright, but Cloudflare only charges at cost with no markup.

Congrats. You made the argument that popular == good.

WooCommerce also has an extensive extension list, integrations with all the payment providers out there and it’s easy to get help / support be it free or payed

This is WordPress’ biggest selling point, but it is also its biggest downfall. The vast majority of those “extensions” (plugins) are horribly made and are security nightmares, then they often only get you 90% of what you need so they can sell you the last 10% for a subscription fee. How would you know how to determine which ones are good or not? You need to be experienced enough with WordPress.

Yes, it is easy to get support, particularly paid (not “payed” FYI) but again, since WordPress is so popular, it’s prime real-estate for shitty “”“WordPress Developers”“” (not actually developers) to essentially bait people into their scam of pretending they are actually developers and providing work that leaves you worse off.

How do I know all of this? Well I happen to work with WordPress professionally as the lead developer for an agency where I manage literally hundreds of WordPress sites and host all of them myself on servers I manage for them (not shared hosting reselling).

Definitely not Woocommerce. WordPress’s data structure is not properly suited for an e-commerce site, and it’s a resource hog.

It this loss?

Took me a while to get this because I don’t pronounce “etc” like that. I just say the initials.

Go fsck yourself

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works

I know it’s “just a joke” but this makes no sense.

I work with WordPress. It doesn’t get much harder than that.

It’s really not, though. This is only true if you’re bad at CSS, which basically can be said about anything.

I’d say most people’s lives in the matrix were not such an ‘easy life’

His name was Terry Davis

Are you mad because this meme makes you think about trans people and that makes you uncomfortable?
