I’d like to thank you for all the work you put in for this. I appreciate it.

P.S. better start with the Swiss keyboard if you write in German too.

Ukelele is one solution, Karabiner is a better one.

I too was probably a bit of a demanding user but at least I wrote ~5 plugins and did a bit of support! I’m still running v6.9 because there were problems with upgrading - the biggest problem being that of time! but I’ve been here since version 1 or 2.
I totally get where you are coming from and I just wanted to say a big thanks for all your efforts over the years in making such a great application.
Good luck and I hope you find another project (other than children) which gives you the same programming buzz.

How ironic that I just rediscovered b2evolution, 7 months after this fateful announcement. Used to remember it as this nice WP alternative, and never realized how much time had passed and how much better it had become. Going to try it out anyway, just for fun, and remind people that this awesome project exists.
Sorry to hear the ongoing crisis hit you so hard. Your predictions were spot-on. Good luck, and thank you!
In response to: Internet like heroin
RE: Martin
Yes comparisons are relative to the actual user, and maybe Rory Blyth had experience of H.
Drugs are not the issue it’s self control, H, C, O, NO, C2H6O whatever the makeup, personally I have tried them all and more.
I told my children that the worst addictions are tobacco, TV, and road transport as they were the most common and hardest to ignore, I can confirm that the internet is replacing the use of those three substantially.

In the 1980s, Leary became fascinated by computers, the internet, and virtual reality. He proclaimed that “the PC is the LSD of the 1990s” and admonished bohemians to “turn on, boot up, jack in".[137][138] He became a promoter of virtual reality systems,

So although TL’s insight well placed I’m still in the process of getting back to the land to set my soul free.
The issue was and is for me that consciousness is more about being here and now, and trying to minimise the thinking that wants to make the world a better place tomorrow.
Communication via the internet is relatively easy but an indulgence of polarisation.

“7 children? Wow! Have some stayed with you on the land?”
No :) It’s far to primitive for them. They were not educated by any common standard so when they became of age they each left to go to college and never looked back.
They carry the will and sense of direction but haven’t turned on themselves yet :) They each think the world can be a better place through their efforts whilst not seeing that each of us only makes the relatively immediate environment more comfortable and secure for that we consider ‘ours’
You are going to have fun with your children, they are the future, we are the past.
In response to: How to remove constantly launching services on Mac OS X
It removed MacKeeper…until the next restart. Then it was back. How to remove it permanently?
In response to: 18 years of b2evolution
I have been using B2evolution since 2003 (I think since version 1.x.x a) … And the only thing I can say now is thank you for all your excellent work and effort to maintain b2evolution.
Possibly, I am one of those users with bad English that you have referred to … Anyway, as an end user, I will do my best to keep my installation as safe as my technical limitations can.
If you (or any developer on your team) launche a pro version for end users (not corporate users) with only security maintenance, I would be one of the first to subscribe. [think about! :-)]
Anyway, I understand your point perfectly. I wish you success and that we can survive the “post-covid"!
Thanks again for B2evolution!

+1 on consuming less and relaxing more ;)
Btw, moving to static site builders requires less powerful servers and consumes less electricity. Another reason not to double down on heavy CMS use.

Hi. Thanks for all your work and I agree with all you said and I’m surprised you kept improving b2evo for so long.
Sure it will be sad not have your input on the forum, as much, or/if any, but I’m really happy that you can let it go and spend more time with your children.
I have seven and manage 40 acres, good job they have all grown up now. Computing use and software understanding are both addictive, well for me, luckily the land is more demanding and better exercise.
I really wish you all the best with the other more enjoyable aspects of consumerism, like the less you consume the more relaxing the days become, but children, especially when young are insatiable, so don’t let them run you ragged either :)

In response to: Internet like heroin
One probably should not make comparisons to heroin until one has been through the belly of the beast. Heroin, a very seductive mistress is the cruelest of them all bringing spasms of horror, bouts of internal melting and external messes and smells that should gag an undertaker. Such bouts can be lengthy indeed and brushed aside in an instant with the mere touch of the point to seduce one back into her delights.
In response to: Mac OS vs Windows font rendering
Windows font rendering is horribly broken. Try this: Set up a Word document, then zoom in. Purely a visual sizing thing; no font size changes.
Whoa! Words wrap in different places!
