Care to elaborate?

I'm currently on their free plan, which is pretty good. As long as they offer it, I'm not likely to leave. If I was on a paid plan it might be a different story, although I can't think of any alternatives off the top of my head, so maybe not!

Ok - thanks for your feedback!

I've been meaning to make saved sites editable - will implement this asap.

Regarding the app download, I figured you have to log in anyway to get the license key, and the direct download link is on the same page. The Dropbox link is only required for older versions of the app, and the latest version (1.0.6) includes auto updates. I get your point though - this process could definitely be improved; hopefully I'll have time tomorrow.

I'm not sure about the connection issue - I'll do some testing on my mac tomorrow to try to replicate the error, and will hopefully have an update very soon!

Indeed. The extension to WP-CLI is open source so if you're seriously interested, make a PR and I'll update the UI to accommodate it.

Thanks! Yeah I always like seeing other Kiwis' work on here, so had to share.

(and y'know, for SEO purposes etc. cough cough)

Yeah this is what I plan to do, although it's not implemented yet.

Yeah that's a fair point. The purpose of the application isn't to provide fine-grained control over plugins etc yet.. However, I do intend to add settings configuration for some plugins. Which plugins I'll do this for depends on their popularity and whether they have WP-CLI compatibility built in.

In the meantime I may see if I can also embed the WP admin page so the user has quick access if they want to change anything.

Thanks for your feedback!

Ah yes of course, that makes sense. I'll update that page as soon as I can.

Thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

I have ~10 years' experience and am finding the same.

It's reassuring to know that I'm not alone (so presumably it's not just because I'm a terrible developer), but disheartening at the same time because who knows when things will improve?

I'm in an ok situation financially (no mortgage, earning a little bit doing AI training) so have the freedom to develop a couple apps of my own. This is something I've wanted to do for ages, but they're a long way from making any kind of money. I can't complain but I'd really rather have a stable income at this stage.

We use Maori bird names for all sorts of things in NZ, such as my child's kindergarten room. Is there a difference between that and this? Or do you think neither is okay?

Pop!_OS is good, but going from Ubuntu to Pop!_OS doesn't really help with the Snaps issue.

Other than for the fact that it's open source, is there any reason people prefer AHK to AutoIt?

I haven't used either for some time now because I don't use Windows much these days, but I tried both and vastly preferred AutoIt. I'm surprised that the author stuck with AHK when he says "AHK v1 was very, very bad.", when surely AutoIt was a viable alternative?

I agree. We used ClickUp at my old work, and I felt like I was the only person who found it extremely unintuitive and confusing. It was about the 5th project management app they switched to, and the worst for me by far. Unfortunately they stuck with it until I left.

When I was little, my older brothers repeatedly told me that I'd pushed over a motorbike one day. I eventually believed them and formed a vivid memory of the incident, and it wasn't til my 21st birthday that my brothers came clean. 15 years later, I still have some recollection of pushing the motorbike over, but I think it's more like a memory of a memory now, since I know it didn't really happen.

I don't think I'm particularly prone to suggestion (although I was young at the time). I feel like if it can happen to me, it must happen to other people also, and I too wonder how much of what we remember is false memories.

Nice! Yeah IMO waiting until they're wrinkly is the key. I killed quite a few through overwatering until I finally realised I needed to be more patient.

My wife bought me five different coloured lithops for my birthday a few years ago. They're all still alive, and I think all of them have flowered at least once. I never water them unless they're wrinkly; when they are, I give them a small amount of water each day until they're smooth again.

I agree - I have a 1st gen Chromecast and it still works really well after quite a few years. It doesn't always play nice with my wife's iphone but considering how little it cost, I'm not complaining.

I'm sure it'll be coming soon - a colleague of mine signed up shortly after me and received an invite today.

I joined the waitlist at the end of June and got an invite yesterday. So 4 months?

However, I imagine a lot of people signed up just before me, so I was probably at the end of a long list. The wait wouldn't be this long if you sign up today, I reckon. I'm just guessing though.

Genuine question - why do people use Git Tower?

I used it during the beta period a few years ago and IMO it was good, but nothing really special. I'm all for paying for software, but it's relatively expensive, and doesn't seem to offer anything new when compared with something like Sublime Merge, the paid version of which is about one third the price.

Yeah me too, a couple of years ago. Initially I was in denial that my account might have been compromised, but eventually I changed my password and haven't had that issue since.

Hey I just checked your profile - how did you get experience with both Laravel/PHP and C#/.NET? I'm currently working with Laravel, and I like it but would prefer to get into C#/.NET.

Looking at job listings, most places seem to say that experience with C# is required. Do I just need to keep looking, or are these companies possibly more open minded regarding previous experience than they appear?

Ah haha are you me? My situation is exactly the same - your comment makes me feel much better that I'm not the only one!

A few weeks ago I talked to a recruiter who confirmed that I'm being underpaid. Since then I've struggled to stay motivated, but I also really hate job hunting/interviewing etc. I'm technically self employed, working for a single client, so I'm considering telling him that I'm going to take Fridays off. If he doesn't like that idea I'll start job hunting for real.

I agree, and can't understand how people manage without something like this.

I'm pretty sure the `dash to panel` Gnome extension does what you want: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/

From memory, it can be configured to show the window titles instead of just the icons, like the screenshot at the bottom of this page: https://linuxhint.com/create_two_panel_layout_gnome_shell_us...

Odd that someone capable of obtaining 50k in crypto was able to be scammed in that fashion, particularly when the real phone number shows up in big bold font when googling "coinbase support number"..

To be fair, the search results may well have changed in between now and then but the support number isn't that hard to find on the coinbase site. Are you sure this person is being truthful, and not running their own scam?

It's quite bizarre IMO. It's ridiculous, but not so far fetched as to be amusing.

I don't know what to make of it.

Ahh.. I don't know why I immediately assumed you were talking about spiders - my apologies!

I agree with everything you've said.

I presume you're referring to the Katipo.

Note that white-tails and redbacks have also migrated to NZ from Australia.

Also, from Wikipedia: "A katipō bite produces the toxic syndrome latrodectism; symptoms include extreme pain and, potentially, hypertension, seizure, or coma." Not exactly what I'd call charming.

Wait, this happened twice? Weren't you at great pains to avoid it reoccurring after the first time?

Oh wow.. Why didn't you tell them? And if you could go back, would you tell on him?
