go $fsck yourself

Happy birthday!

You make Lemmy a more pleasant place to be, not just with your many contributions of great memes, but more importantly with your overall friendly manner. You make a real difference. Thank you.

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?

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.

By “weird as fuck” I mean in the context of WordPress and how its templating system works, not in the context of UI/UX.

No, the pro elements plugin not available through the WP.org repo and is only available via GitHub.

Posted a top level comment before I saw this:

Oxygen builder is weird as fuck, especially on top of WordPress’ already weird data structure.

If you were considering WordPress I would just stick with Elementor because it’s the most popular builder. You can also use https://proelements.org/ to try out the pro version without having to subscribe.

WordPress.com is horrendous and extremely expensive, and their practices are scummy. Divi is also fucking garbage. That other user has no idea what they are talking about.

Puter devs:

I’m also a developer. My job has me work with WordPress almost exclusively. I run hundreds of WordPress sites and the hosting servers that run them.

WordPress is not good, nor is woocommerce. They are, however, convenient to the layperson. That’s basically all they have going for them.

WP and Woo are major resource hogs. The data structure is atrocious. There is no ORM and everything is shoved into two tables: posts and postmeta. All your pages, blog posts, products, orders, form submissions, everything is a ‘post’.

99% of all plugins are horribly written garbage that are major security vulnerabilities and updates to patch those security holes frequently break everything.

WP sites require frequent maintenance to keep them updated to avoid those security issues and since you never know when an update is going to break the whole site you have to do so carefully and make sure you have lots of backups.

Automattic, the company that makes WooCommerce, is scummy as fuck. Just recently they released an update that added a new cookie which triggered firewalls, and made this new feature on by default. They also are selling all WP.com and Tumblr data to be used for AI. Not to mention the fact they intentionally confuse people into thinking WordPress.com is the same thing as WordPress.org, and since the CEO also controls WP.org they can get away with breaking all the rules of the 501c3 nonprofit’s own rules in doing so.

I can go on…

Why jQuery?

Puter interacts directly with the DOM and jQuery provides an elegant yet powerful API to manipulate the DOM, handle events, and much more. It’s also fast, mature, and battle-tested.

‘Elegant’ my fucking ass. Convenient? Sure. But it’s far from ‘elegant’.

This whole picture can be summed up in two words:

Can’t cook

This is fucking dumb. People learning how to code don’t know how to start. They don’t know what to start writing or where to start on it. This is akin to telling a depressed person “just don’t be sad”.

Negative

Let me test this.

Windows is better than Linux.

Fuck Putin.

They’re actually in love with each other and those are tattoos of the other to show their love.
