Elon Musk's been breaking federal law since before the election. The fact that he's continuing w/ impunity tells you all you need to know about the GOP. Democracy is dead to them, they kneel before the oligarchy like peasants. B/c, that's exactly the way that relationship works.

Do I know anyone that's tried out Dead Island 2? Thumbs up or down? Better or worse than the first?

If Matt keeps up his current strategy, WP Engine might end up owning Automattic when it's all said and done.

From the filing for an immediate injunction against Automattic:

The WordPress subreddit is burning.

@cameronjonesweb His lawyers must have THE BEST antianxiety medication at their firm.

@jeffr0 The problem is, that doesn't prevent us from having to deal with the issue on the ground with our legal and security teams, who have very legitimate concerns and questions.

[Michael Fienen (@fienen.bsky.social) @fienen]

@photomatt is actively trying to burn the WordPress community to the ground at this point. He has no respect whatsoever for the community that made him who he is, and clearly doesn't understand or care about the damage he's doing.

"Financially associated with WP Engine" also means having a ACF Pro license, a WPDB Migrate Pro license, an WP Offload Media license or donating to LocalWP, by the way.

[Vinny Green @vinnysgreen]

hell yeah, this is the stuff you fire off when you feel the walls closing in...

[Maarten Belmans @PoeHaH]

Ok, this is getting ridiculous...

Matthew Charles Mullenweg, what is this. Death by a thousand cuts?

[Alex Mansfield @alexmansfield]

Please consider my plugins hosted on https://t.co/dRNluYsi0J to be abandoned. When @photomatt was asked if owning an ACF license banned users from logging into .org, he replied "Consult an attorney" See:

Since one of my customers still hosts with WP Engine, I am financially associated with WP Engine.

So now, after contributing for 13 years, I am no longer allowed to contribute to WordPress.

What the actual fuck.

[Michael Fienen (@fienen.bsky.social) @fienen]

THEN WHY ADD THE CHECKBOX IN THE FIRST PLACE, MATT???

[Michael Fienen (@fienen.bsky.social) @fienen]

@jeffr0 - Where...
I'd go Git, even if the code isn't hosted there.

- Should...
I'm not sure I get the meaning of this, which means my answer in "user-facing."

- Who's...
I think this answer changes a lot based on community size.

- How...
Focus on a user first. Then contributors.

[Michael Fienen (@fienen.bsky.social) @fienen]

@jeffr0 Hell yeah dude, find the plan that works for you. Plenty of people willing to help you stick to it.
