The amount of boomer bait on Facebook is staggering. The amount of Boomers falling for obviously AI-generated shite even moreso.

DROL: Dicht Rechts, Open Links.

I think I just prefer Links Los, which implies that the other way tightens.

Dutch, BTW.

Topologically speaking, the frog is a donut.

One year left, before W10 support goes out the Window.

If not STEM, then HEAL? (Health, Education And Learning)

Oh, I also really like Mammonism: "the greedy pursuit of riches", from the Biblical "Mammon".

I've got six of them:

• Tittynope: "A small amount left over; a modicum."
• Cacography: "bad handwriting or spelling."
• Epeolatry: "the worship of words."
• Kakistocracy: "a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens."
• Oikophilia: "love of home"
• Tenebrous: "dark; shadowy or obscure"

I was referring to Borderlands: The Movie, not Mario.

And I'm blaming him a little as he still took the bag.

I understand; I was just being transparent with the fact that I'm a lazy motherfucker and that I used it to "translate" the text.

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what's going on.

TL;DW Matt's claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it's called - I'm recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt's reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress' resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it's not like he's trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

"“It was very annoying,” says Ms Rosenberg. “I had 10 minutes to do that and nobody saw the last ones that I did were much better.” Jane Rosenberg was much happier with this sketch of Caroline Ellison which attracted far less attention than one she had 10 minutes to draw.

Well, she did tell that she didn't get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that's not bolted down? Take it.

But that's Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that's going it out of sheer greed.
