Oh I’m aware. In a way the plugin ecosystem is also one of the biggest issues with wordpress, it’s full of freemium garbage that violates the spirit and in many cases the letter of the GPL.

But the point is that if you want a complete replacement for wordpress, it isn’t just a blogging system you have to replicate. You also have to in some way replicate a forum, form builders, activitypub, an e-commerce system, calendar, booking system, SEO, page caching, ERP, CRM, etc.

Honestly coding a replacement wouldn’t be difficult, there’re already a few alternatives out there, it’s the thousands of plugins you’d need to replace.

One of the issues with alternatives like ghost is not having a good plugin system.

A DSLR doesn’t need to keep a screen powered all the time you’re looking through it. Improvements in the battery life of MILCs has made that non-issue for most people though.

Damn, I didn’t notice, it was the first half decent looking source I found to post.

There seems to be an advantage of having a camera that can be always pointing in the direction you’re looking, I know several metal detecting YouTube channels use them.

A bot scraping the fediverse would be indistinguishable from any other kind of federation, only the purpose differs.

Try to get one hand sewn with veg tan leather. It’s a traditionally made leather that’s better quality.
