So, just so I get this right, it’s no longer possible to file your taxes for free anymore?

Linux does give every application time to shut down correctly, but unlike windows, it won’t wait for ages until every process is down. Linux WILL shut down in a certain timeframe, whereas windows waits for years if necessary. In my old job, we all had to use windows and I had times where I clicked shut down, turned off my monitor, grabbed my stuff, left and in the next morning, the PC was still on because Notepad refused to just close lmao.

Intermingling PHP and HTML is one of PHP strengths

Eeeh, no. It’s a bad practice in 2025. That was a good thing a decade ago.

Trying to modify this blocked CSS is going to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than trying to modify a bunch of printed HTML strings broken up by multiple nested conditionals. Plus it’s just straight-up easier to read and straight-forward to understand what the function does right away.

True. But I was just looking at the source code of wordpress for 30 seconds. I could probably find worse.

To harp on this even more, one of the benefits of blocking HTML in this way is IDE highlighting.

Which isn’t a problem if you use a template engine - as you should in modern applications.

I can’t think of a single system that doesn’t “stop PHP executing” at some point to output HTML in some way.

Not a single modern system does that. It’s terrible practice and won’t even pass automated code reviews with sane settings.

Your opinion was correct like 10 years ago. PHP7 made a lot of fixes to many of the problems it had and PHP8 improved on it even more. And if you slap a framework on top of it, like laravel, PHP looks awesome.

Bruh that man is literally the ketamine-entity. Why do you even ask?

but oh man in a much better, cleaner, and more sparingly way

I don’t think we’re looking at the same source code. The first thing I see in wp-activate.php:

function wpmu_activate_stylesheet() {
	?>
	<style type="text/css">
		.wp-activate-container { width: 90%; margin: 0 auto; }
		.wp-activate-container form { margin-top: 2em; }
		#submit, #key { width: 100%; font-size: 24px; box-sizing: border-box; }
		#language { margin-top: 0.5em; }
		.wp-activate-container .error { background: #f66; color: #333; }
		span.h3 { padding: 0 8px; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: 600; }
	</style>
	<?php
}

This isn’t better nor cleaner. This is a disaster. A function that stops PHP execution halfway-through, outputs some text and then restarts PHP execution? Hell, I’ve been in the PHP ecosystem for over a decade now and I didn’t even know this was possible and I wish that knowledge was still hidden from me.

Maybe I was wrong by saying that the 4chan source code is better than wordpress, fair. Maybe I should just say both are abominations, I will not judge which one is better and both should be discarded and forgotten.

Unmoderated? No. Cruel? Yes.

I’ve been quite active on both platforms for over a decade. Reddit has definitely more cruel content and more cruel people.

I can upload a new one. Ping me tomorrow when I’m awake again.

Disagree. TotK was absolutely worth it’s pricepoint. Not even going to argue about it, the game was phenomenal.

Idk, there were a lot of subreddits spewing hate, and they were online for years before public pressure mounted and they shut it down. Hell, we had shit like “abuseporn” which was online for over 4 years until it was randomly found by a journalist and then shut down lmao.

It really isn’t. Because nobody takes it serious. That’s the entire point. People don’t shitpost to humorously critique social norms, they do it for the fun.

The only people who do take it serious are some normies that by accident see a 4chan meme on 9gag.

Skip the peas and it probably slaps ngl.

I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.

Kill WordPress now.

Disagree mostly - while there are those boards, like /pol/ or /b/, there’s also normal boards with … I wouldn’t say “normal” people, but relatively speaking, sane people.

That content is not moderated at all how you think it is

4chan is barely moderated.

It is a breeding ground of hate.

Overall, I saw a lot more hate on reddit than on 4chan. But mostly because I’m not a /pol/ user.

Nothing wrong with php, except not updating it.

Bullshit. Russia was certainly not targeting 4chan. If any russian agent was trying to push propaganda, he’d probably be drowned in “piss off faggot” responses lmao. Why would they even try to target a platform where 95% of the people are just shitposting as if their lives depended on it and 5% are mentally ill.

Not everything you don’t like is russian propaganda.

I mean, this is only source code in text form, there’s no assets or anything in the leak. They also don’t use composer or any package manager, so there’s no large dependencies in the project.

I can just play one of the many other very good jump’n’run games that do not cost that much money.

Unless a game is on a qualitative excellent level, as BotW and TotK were, I’m not paying 80 bucks for it.
