The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán's regime seems to have found a challenger.

The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

Also owned by Google, so this change might make it over

The case is basically that having a non-tracking paid tier makes no difference, the free tier if it exists can't include mandatory tracking.

So they can offer a paid tier with no tracking, but they must also offer no tracking on the free tier.

That's my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don't trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it's good.

That's the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.

Also, I'd bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.

There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.

And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can't, that's how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.

I'd guess it's not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

So what are trustworthy TLDs?

I do like Mull, but I'm also uninformed and I don't use my mobile browser all too much.

Say that again after you sit the same IT exams as I did.

Except we would grab loans from our banker friends who are also in on the scheme, and use some of that money to pay taxes and buy some congresscritters to avoid further taxes. The banker guys would then grab some loans themselves, preferably also from each other, as they slowly repackage the whole thing and then sell it to retirement funds to make it everyone else's problem. /s
