Wordpress could have taken a survey of their highest paying customers, then created features they needed behind a private hosting service

Isn't this what WordPress VIP is?

MOBA games, I spent years playing heroes of newerth and Dota2, but as I got older and had less time to play it got increasingly harder to keep up with all the changes, and I realised it was just making me stressed playing it rather than enjoying it. Still enjoyed watching The International for a few years after I quit though.

Blanco White, British artist with Spanish/Latin influence. 'The wind rose' from his EP is such a good song and I think it reflects his style still. https://open.spotify.com/track/2B2iGPBD6RBWJ11uxtb34t?si=GidmWC2uSoSiDvwbw8XmyQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A18WIUFEZRfWSRDhfnmO9NB

"Giordano's dream" (both parts) are an amazing listen too. https://open.spotify.com/album/0ZiiZQCm1aez7Kt77j78QG?si=5e5wSsbETP2dNLOLlMVxhg

Honestly it might be Finding Nemo. I think it was the first DVD we had and my younger sister was obsessed with it, so I'd watch it a lot with her. Things I'd watch at my own accord it's probably LOTR or Harry Potter though.

Do you want wired or wireless? If wireless check out the Moondrop space travel, if wired then Moondrop Aria, linsoul tin t2, there's plenty of chifi options that'll outperform any name brand stuff.

I'm somewhat of a programmer, but there's ideas everywhere in life. My bank came out with an API so I built an app that pulls it all down, stores it in a database, and makes some pretty graphs. Had no experience in fullstack or backend development before (I'm a sysadmin/cloud engineer), so it took me a really long time and I was following a course but adapting it to my project for a lot of it.

The other day I picked up an old game (Mu online) that is soooo grindy it even gives you an in-game bot to play for you, but if you die you just respawn in a safe zone. So I've started writing a script that reads the screen (character position is shown in x, y coordinates on screen), and those coordinates are within a given area (the safe zone) it will alert me. Again, had no experience with any of the window controls or image to text conversion (tesseract), but got chatgpt to help me a bit. Will it save me time? Maybe a little. Will I stop playing this game in a month? More than likely. Did I learn something? Absolutely.

I'm self taught but working in tech there's obviously more work related use cases to actually start learning, but there's every-day stuff you can do too.
