TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.
In summary:
WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.
They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).
The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.
WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.
WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.
This pissed off a lot of people.
WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.
The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

Sales slowing is only one variable in the “growth” equation. Specifically, are sales of gas vehicles slowing more than sales of electric cars? Yes.
People are replacing vehicles at some standard rate, but growth of EVs is dependent on what percentage of new vehicle sales are gas versus electric. As long as people aren’t moving back to gas cars en masse, the growth of the segment can continue to rise, even if sales overall are slowing.

Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?
This is already the case, it’s not a law, but contracts. You’re not in fact a party to the agreement, so you’re not beholden to the terms.
That’s a penis dot gif
Metroid prime pinball was incredible, especially with the use of the rumble pack. Underrated accessory for the DS.
"My mother … would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’ " Harris said with a laugh. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”
I’ll believe it when I see a shift in manufacturing.
News flash, most Americans were paycheck to paycheck before inflation, too.
