[chrisaldrich] Thanks Michael. I'm not sure if it was shared here or not, but this is also in that same sort of vein: https://chriswiegman.com/2021/08/the-changing-wordpress-ecosystem/
#
[tw2113_Slack_] pretty sure i've read that one already, but definitely agree
#
[tw2113_Slack_] kind of has me wondering how much WordPress is in my long term future.
#
[tw2113_Slack_] at the same time, i could see the WP core devs legitimately not wanting to break 18 years of backwards compatibility, and thus having to do some very odd architecture decisions to also get this beloved js/React version in place. very much like outlined in David's post
#
GWG Sigh.
#
[tw2113_Slack_] we're depressing David
#
GWG I was depressed before
#
[chrisaldrich] What is mood?
#
Loqi mood is sometimes expressed explicitly in or about a post, by the post author https://indieweb.org/mood
#
[chrisaldrich] Let's pep things up a bit then, shall we?
#
GWG I'm working on widgets...even though they may be dying soon.

#
[tw2113_Slack_] just trying to find a more peppy topic 😄
#

#
[jeremycherfas] Why do people so often ignore the caffeine in tea?
#
capjamesg[d] jeremycherfas tell me more!

#
[jeremycherfas] About a third that of coffee, but not negligible.
#
sknebel it's kind of amazing how common the idea that there are different substances in tea vs coffee is, at least here
#
sknebel might just be because of the name though :D
#
[jeremycherfas] Yes. And who knows what is in all those alternative teas.
#
sknebel (i.e. coffein sounds like coffee, so here its a common claim that tea contains teein ;))
#
GWG Do we need #indieweb-beverage
#
sknebel oh, we arent in -chat. sorry

GWG sknebel: I was hoping for WordPress brand tea
#
[chrisaldrich] Me wonders at adding a field to the /drink posts to track caffeine. I'm curious what my astounding annual consumption is?

[tw2113_Slack_] WordTea
#
[tw2113_Slack_] [chrisaldrich] i sort of did that for a time, but it wasn’t volume, just location tracking
#
[chrisaldrich] CoffeePress! ☕

#
