I completely agree that individuals have no responsibility to contribute, and thank you for your own contributions. But I completely disagree that a company like WP Engine should get a free pass. I see this as a paradox of tolerance and someone is willing to lose face and money over it. He didn’t get to $400m by hording, he got there by creating and sharing WordPress and promoting a community that is supposed to lift us all up
Ya, “air gapped”
My cat didn’t start walking around for months, it’s a lot to take in at first, they’ll take it slow
Oh interesting! I’ll have to check it out, thanks 🧔♀️ some women’s razors I’ve used in the past had a rather unpleasant glide strip that feels really slimy to me, but that may be a technological advantage haha
Good point, razor blades for thicker hair makes a discernable difference. Luckily, double edged safety razor and a steel handle make this category practically free now
It was also fairly easy to disable
Right??? My siblings have an 18 year span, I’ll be 38 when the youngest graduates highschool. I feel like I already have kids, I’m doing so much emotional and financial support for these ones
I totally agree here, on both points
Nice to have though, would likely skip or half-ass a lot of stuff if I didn’t have a tool like AI to do the boring parts. When I can get started on a task really quickly, I don’t care what the quality is, I’ll iterate until it meets my standards.
I read through everything released recently. It’s really well done but I legit started to feel depressed as I was reading through it.
The damages a small group of people can do to a few gas pumps is far far less than the damages they are trying to prevent. It’s terrorism in your head because the corporations are operating “business as usual”, but business as usual for a lot of industries is eco or economic terrorism on a mass scale. If rules only exist for the poor, we need to find a way for society to course correct those who will continue to do the world harm.
How else can we make a difference? Calling a representative? Voting? Sure, but our voices are farts in the wind compared to ThE aLmIgHtY pRoFiT mArGiN, even for politicians
Yeah, thank you, I think that’s a great way to describe it. Do you think season 5 was significantly worse in this regard? Or perhaps I’m just remembering it better since it just came out.
Either way, I totally agree with you. I wasn’t able to connect with any of the characters or storylines because they were so hollow and superficial
I too am curious about the fairy vagina
I liked seasons 1-4 quite a bit. I was never against the more inclusive and emotional trek, but season 5 was way too over the top. Every episodes arc was about being ‘good enough’ and knowing yourself and love/friendship. After watching the finale I was legit angry, season 5 easily gave me GoT Season 8 vibes, or Wheel of Time season 1 vibes, just wrong and for the wrong reasons.
Hell I even enjoyed the heck out of Prodigy and still found this season of Disco too ugh
I feel like a jerk, thinking it’s too ‘woke’, but I don’t think that’s really it. Idk if I’m smart enough to find the right words, but boy was I upset after watching the finale.
That was like 2 minutes of laughing randomly and embracing awkwardly. Wtf.
Cool gazelle at the end tho. Better than Avatar 2
Spotify pushed me to buy an old iPod and upgrade it to flash memory and a new battery. Sweet Sweet control baby
Sir Kitty sounds like a noble and majestic creature, his memory shall live on in our hearts
Garuda has been great on all my computers, even handled the upgrade to kde 6 without issue. It’s a bloaty boi tho. But that’s why I picked it, every tool I’ve looked for was either installed or easily installed via the pre setup chaotic aur
When you sneeze Calcifer will sprint into the room and meow at you to bless you. If you ignore him he will keep meowing until thanks or pets are provided.
He also knows when my wife is in pain or having anxiety and will sit on her lap to keep her calm (maybe projecting this, but it’s very helpful and cute)
Bunch of great points, thanks. Funny you mention Linus, I’m pretty sure he’s done that a bunch. First thing that comes to mind is the “f*** you Nvidia” on stage 😂 in the grand scheme of things I just hope this blows over quickly, takes power away from all the ceos and companies involved. I don’t see anyone benefitting from this in the short or long term, especially the users.
I really don’t want WordPress to suffer, I feel like it’s one of the last pillars standing against a bland sea of identical social media profiles. Given enough time, completely unchecked, I see WP Engine moving heavily towards enshitification like that, and I think Matt wants to avoid that too? 🙏
