Warum sind Spalten in Beiträgen (und damit im #Feed) überhaupt erlaubt?

Ich habe mir mal Gedanken über #RSS-Feeds gemacht, warum sie ständig für tot erklärt werden und warum #WordPress daran mit Schuld ist.

Was passiert eigentlich, wenn dein #WordPress einen fatalen Fehler hat, aber die E-Mail geht an den Kunden/die Kundin und ist nicht greifbar?

Was ist nur aus BackWPup geworden? Das 5er-Update ist so grausam. Barrierefreiheit, Übersetzung, Bedienbarkeit - alles ist schlechter geworden.

Da musste ich mir meinen Frust mal von der Seele schreiben …

Know the animated 🌈 border + glow effect that's all the rage? It's normally done by adding an opaque cover on top of two 🌈 layers.

But what if we wanted a (semi)transparent background within the border? It's possible with pure #CSS!

Okay, someone help me. Where did I get this #WordPress ( #WordCamp ?) beanie?
Maroon beanie. Circular patch on the front has an orange WordPress logo in the middle; two colorful, long-tailed birds, one to the left and one to the right; and stemmed flowers above and below with the stems toward the logo.

Found a neat CSS trick to automatically swap between black or white text based on any arbitrary background color!

With relative color syntax, you can use calc to adjust the text color depending if the background is above or below 50% lightness in the LCH color space.
CSS code snippet: .magic { --bg: red; background: var(--bg); /* Swap between white or black based on the background. */ color: lch(from var(--bg) calc((50 - l) * infinity) 0 0); }

So now ACF Pro has been taken over, too, nulled, copyright stripped, & available in the repo. Explain the difference between this, and what Festinger does?

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team The German translation of the „Post“ button is not „Beitrag“. This would be the translation of „Post“ as a noun, but in this context „Post“ is a verb and means „Veröffentlichen“ (to publish something).

Maybe someone could redirect this to the translation team! Thanks!
