@danjdavies 👏👏 Love this! Great work Dan!

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

“Matt’s website” yeah of course that sentiment doesn’t do any damage to the community at all

[Automattic @automattic]

Earlier this week, Automattic and @photomatt responded to a motion filed by WP Engine. This dispute is occurring because private-equity-backed WP Engine expects to continue receiving free access to Matt’s website https://t.co/vCGBxz9a1C while threatening the WordPress community through its actions.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

Ah I see, https://t.co/7atAbeIcPt is not WordPress which is completely clear, but https://t.co/4TCY0vRNoz could be confused for WordPress so that’s bad

[Mike Julian @mikejulian]

There it is folks: @photomatt's attorneys make it clear that he thinks you're all idiots at his mercy for choosing to build a business on Wordpress.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

Probably better to just migrate away from WordPress all together. Why would you want to use software and be held at the whim of a mad man for the pleasure?

[Matt Mullenweg @photomatt]

What are the best alternatives to Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf for people who want to switch away? Is there an easy way to migrate?

I suspect there are going to be millions of sites moving away from it in the coming weeks.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@dancullenshute Yes! I know what you mean, my massive pet hate is when a penalty is saved and it’s described as “missed” which is a massive discredit to both the penalty taker and the goal keeper.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@johnniefp Well this is a very dangerous reply 😂

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@johnniefp You have excellent taste as well 😅. No not yet, I’ve got a webber which I love but want to get a kamado of some sort in the future, too many other expenses around the house first!

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

Very excited about this latest update to my website.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

On my way to @LaravelLiveUK anyone else I know going?

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@sam_kent_ Ahh, sorry I was speaking from a user perspective. I understand the business case because people do use it and like it, I just don’t understand why 😅

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@sam_kent_ Yeah I see those arguments, but a good password manager is far better at solving those problems in a much nicer and faster user journey. Maybe I’m just old school 😅

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@sam_kent_ I hate it, I don’t know what problem it solves 🤷‍♂️

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@stuartleech @ticketingprofs @thinktankmuseum @Shopify Sorry can you DM me your email address so we can arrange a time to speak?

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

I’m on my way to @ticketingprofs to talk about how I’m helping @thinktankmuseum to use @Shopify for their museum tickets.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@stuartleech @ticketingprofs @thinktankmuseum @Shopify Hi Stuart! Sure thing, I’ll DM you my email address now.

[Simon Davies @simond_86]

@caspianturner @LSpurdle @ticketingprofs Thanks! That’s really good to hear!
