Tl;Dr is that matt mullenweg saw that other people were making money from free open source software, and his capitalism boner is trying to fuck everyone over.
He has control over both WPEngines competition and the non-profit Foundation, and is using his Foundation position to try extort his for-profit company’s competition. Typical CEO behaviour.
This whole drama makes me wonder if it’s only a matter of time till I have to migrate my company away from WordPress.
Man, fuck matt mullenweg
Am I the only one who feels like this is an AI generated article incorrectly summarizing the actual info?
If only she were the current sitting vice president of the United states of America, I.e. was in a position of power where she and the other members of the executive branch could take action as well as “striking a tough tone”.
Actions, as always, speak louder than words.
Using performance enhancing drugs can result in a lifetime ban from the Olympics, with Wikipedia saying it’s an “integrity” issue. Aren’t we glad that raping a literal child isn’t an integrity issue?
The news where I live often calls Olympic winners “sports heroes”, I think this person should never be allowed anywhere near an event that might make people label them a hero.
Thank you for being a far better person than I, in that you actually give enough of a fuck to remember at least one specific, named person who was murdered in the way I was described.
This is not sarcasm it’s a genuine emotional appreciation. I don’t have it in me to remember, since all the shit news day in and day out just all blurs together and is too much for me to cope with if I tried to remember, but I’m glad someone is.
So… Same as it’s been since the war on terror began in 2001?
Oh, now they can assassinate white people in first world countries, not just drop bombs on weddings in mideast countries. I see. Totally makes all the difference.
(I am feeling very cynical here haha, I get this is a big significant legal precedent for the USA but yeah)
In my country we’ve had these electronic labels for many years, using them was part of my first real job a decade ago. And here they definitely can be updated centrally, and in near real time.
I used to drive past their factory every day on the way to work. Should have taken a photo for all those sweet internet points, rip
Tbh though you can barely tell it’s their factory from the outside, if not for their vans parked around you’d never know.
Mayor says the city will stop using tech by the end of 2024.
Tech is still operational in April 2024 (8 months before the end of 2024).
Breathless expose article showing that the tech is still in use.
Profit???
For anyone wondering, yes the plane is a Boeing 787-9…
Just when I thought they couldn’t shit on DnD worse than they already have 😭😭😭
This behaviour is why I roll my eyes when the edge fanbois are all like “iTs AlL cHrOmE aNyWaY”.
Fuck any company that uses their power to try trick people into using their software, yes including google.
Link gives me a 404 error, am I the only one?
More like, OpenAI has said “so what if we were speeding, everyone does it” (did that work last time you got a ticket?)
Relevant exerpt from the article: “The company recently made a similar argument to the UK House of Lords, claiming no AI system like ChatGPT can be built without access to copyrighted content.”
The homeless guy down the street reckons the hospital was bombed by the aliens who live in his ballsack. Are they going to do an article reporting on that next?!
These recalls are sure to get less severe and happen less often if ford goes ahead with firing 10,000 senior experienced union members like they’re threatening to. /s
Bruh idk why the difference… Educate me?
Honestly, Wikipedia doesn’t avoid this. People constantly game the rules to remove or change content that doesn’t suit them. I recall an instance where employees of a company were busted editing that company’s page, they were caught because there were so many different editors all from the same corporate IP. And that’s just the low hanging fruit that makes the news - I would wager there’s 10 instances that never get noticed for each one that people spot.
Basically, he’s a CEO and therefore thinks every dollar on earth is his by right. I think the best summary is that he’s using his competing positions at the non-profit foundation to benefit his for-profit company.
