Is it not still blocked, or at least under heavy scrutiny? I would also dread Figma being folded into Adobe's bloated ecosystem. Thank god for penpot as mentioned in another comment as I would need an alternative if Figma does indeed get taken over by Adobe.

The real magic is found in Apple charging 690 EUR for an upgrade to 2TB from 512GB on a MacBook Pro (0.43/gb), or 2760 EUR for 8TB (0.37/gb). Considering the 2TB 980 pro for $160 USD, (0.08/gb), it always truly pains me to pay the Apple tax.

Also inertia.js just reached 1.0 and has been really fantastic to work with.

What really struck me was the statement: "In total, $580,000 was raised in 2022 The Foundation pays 6 developers to work on PHP" which made me realise how easy it is to take for granted the development and maintenance of these open-source languages and ecosystem as a whole.

Say what you will about PHP, but we all rest on the shoulders of the incalculable effort that goes into the software we use everyday without thinking twice, and is something I'm very grateful for.

An example could be plucking data from related posts of different types that are related via Advanced Custom Fields.

For me the main barrier has been convincing my family to actually take password management seriously. My entire family has had their emails hacked at least twice due to poor/reused passwords that have been in leaks, constantly forget IDs/passwords, and are constantly overwhelmed with the idea that they need to keep track of all these things.

I've set up a 1password family and set up accounts/vaults on everyone's computers/phones/tablets, yet they still find it too troublesome to use rather than simply writing passwords down in plaintext on their notes apps or just on sticky notes attached to their computers etc...

If anyone has had success encouraging family to use a password manager I would love to hear any tips, as I've sat my family down every holiday season to reset everyone's forgotten passwords and walk them through everything, practice creating/saving/using passwords and within a day it's all forgotten again. Like backups, I feel like no one takes it seriously until something truly horrible happens.

Ah yes, exactly and thanks for the search tips, I felt like I was misremembering something being unable to find what I was looking for!

Thank you so much, that is precisely what I was looking for (my memory failed me regarding the background colour though, though there are purple elements). Thanks again, much appreciated.

The German word for 'time' is 'Zeit', so that would be 'Zeitgeist' :)

One of the more interesting things I've felt about web3 is the idea of portable identities not being locked to centralized account management systems/walled gardens. This applies to tokens as well - eg, an asset that is no longer locked in to a particular game and could be used anywhere on chain. I'm thinking of MMORPGs having their servers shut down. It's interesting to imagine these things existing beyond the games themselves. I'm not a gamer (nor a collector of anything really), but I could imagine how interesting it would be to hold on to one's relics from these games, bringing them into new virtual worlds, even passing them down like family heirlooms. It seems like something that was often dismissed until the NFT boom lent some credence to the notion that digital artifacts need not be entirely disposable. Be it better or worse for the world, ultimately it really is a bizarre but fascinating experiment/exploration into our ideas of value and provenance.
