  • To an extent. Early 90’s I could navigate WordPerfect in DOS faster than I’ve ever been able to work in MS Word, because it was all keyboard even before I learned proper home key 10 finger typing in high school. Technically my first word processor was Wordstar on one of those Osborne “portable” computers with the 5-inch screen when I was a young kid, but Wordperfect was what I did my first real ‘word processing’ on when I started using it for school projects. So I might just be older in that ‘how do you do fellow kids’ in this sort of discussion.

    To this day, I still prefer mc (Midnight Commander, linux flavored recreation of Norton Commander that does have a Windows port (YMMV on the win port)) to navigate filesystems for non-automated file management.

    I’ve been thoroughly conditioned for mouse use since the mid-late 90s (I call it my Warcraft-Quake era, we still used keyboard only for Doom 1/2 back in the early days), and I feel like it’s a crutch when I’m trying to do productive work instead of gaming. When I spend a few days working using remote shells, I definitely notice a speed increase. Then a few days later I lose it all again when I’m back on that mouse cursor flow brain.













  • No he’s right even while Matt M is being a massive piece of shit and ruining the WP community cohesion. DeliciousBrains iirc was the original ACF dev org that was bought out by WPE who do a lot of cornering dev using buyouts/investments and then go about with their internal commercialization of tooling built on GPL without contributing to the upstream platforms. WPEngine still aren’t the good guys, they’re just the victims in a case where the expected good guy WP founder and Automattic leader Matt Mullieswaggiesomethingrather turned out to be bad guy that is just as ethically and morally compromised with a little more salt for flavoring.





  • Looks more like you are interested in more influence power, and control for yourself.

    What qualifies you to be in a leadership position that directly affects content control?

    Your instances are not being used the way you wanted, so you propose structural and organizational changes that, suprise, benefit your administrative influence from your instances.

    You’re so focused on the details of your solution, you don’t seem to be holding or acknowledging any objective perspectives.
