Every time I visit my family in Wales Google tries to take me away from the perfectly reliable A55 and onto some ungodly assemblage of extremely narrow country roads and tenuous mountain passes. Sometimes it offers them to me but I’ve caught it secretly changing my precalculated route without my input. Unfortunately I’ve tried several alternatives (various osm apps, here wego) and the only real alternative is Waze… which is owned by Google. We are nothing but cattle to them. I think Google is trying to kill me.

I don’t actively develop websites in WordPress anymore but I do have several legacy WordPress sites still running, and I gotta say, WordPress has really lost the plot. The updated post editor is just awful, the php side of things is as much of a mess as it ever was, and it seems to be like mullenweg didn’t really know what to do with wordpress.com or Tumblr for that matter.

This but unironically
