If this is what being rich does to you, I don't want to be rich.

It definitely is. I can't think of a single person in the last 100 years who is both rich enough that they don't have to work for a living and is still kind to others. Maybe MacKenzie Scott? But I guess that just goes to show it is specifically the pursuit of wealth that corrupts.

keanu reeves?

- "a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox from WordPress.org that required users to pledge that they were not affiliated with WP Engine before logging in" So, in short, he's mad at the court for ordering him to do something, and (while the lawsuit is still running!) is basically mocking the court order, and trolling the judge and plaintiff. This guy has an attorney somewhere, and that atto…

For an unscrupulous attorney, a client like this would be great no? Talk about easy money.

Matt continues to make me feel like I made a good choice exiting the WP ecosystem last month.

What did you switch to?

Kirby. Bit of a change but I’m enjoying using it so much more. Feels like a return to my rose-tinted “good old days”.

The license doesn't look very open.

Schema deletions usually have to be rolled out in two phases. Maybe this is just a light-hearted approach to be immediately compliant w/ the ruling without making a breaking API change.

Nope, they already rolled back the checkbox within 72 hours of the court order. This was added this week, a few days after the original checkbox was removed.

Also, the value of the checkbox is "yes-it-is", which would break the API anyway if that were the reason.

This and Elm show the issues of the BDFL management model. Good software projects can die due to a midlife crisis. Let's hope WordPress establishes some form of foundation.

WordPress has a foundation. It's just also Matt.

There is at least 1 LGPL dependency in there which renders the license void. If you include LGPL, your software is LGPL.

AKA how to know someone is not from Texas

Oh, this is a Texas thing? That makes sense, they barbeque wrong too. *ducks*

Brisket is the thing Texas gets the most right from any BBQ I've had.

Everything else...eh. I prefer pulled pork in KC tbh. The Carolinas can get out of here with that vinegar they call BBQ sauce.
