@sebastmarsh Big fan of ultrawork and TWG, sad that they are gone. I've been searching the internet trying to find your cycles-minimal template and can't find it, and sadly your link shortener is RIP. Do you have the Google sheets URL that you could share?

@RachelTobac Why can't the carriers block these? Seems like an easy pattern to automatically detect.

It's not just you -- we're seeing a nationwide uptick in text message based scams where they claim you have an "unpaid toll" & "click or reply here to resolve". If you receive this text message, do not reply, click, give them your information or pay. Report and delete as spam.

@IBXRun10 Have you announced how many people entered the lottery?

@GilStudent It's your annual chance to pride yourself on not doing segulahs. You do it every year - probably a chazakah by now.

Today is Tuesday of Parashas Beshalach which means absolutely nothing to me

@onthemainline @VaadHaBadchanim Is this suggesting that there are people who idolize serial adulterers? Surely that doesn't exist?

This medieval Alenu text is wiiiild. Just when you think it's about to stop, it keeps on going: שהם משתחוים להבל וריק אדם אפר דם מרה בשר בושה סרוחה רמה טמאים וטמאות מנאפים...

@luisbeldroega @jacklgoldsmith No didn't "have learned anything at Harvard". I see you're applying as grammar professor yourself, though. (With a specialty in punctuation.)

@jacklgoldsmith Paragraphs please It’s awful to read this without some separation on the text Didn’t you have learned anything at Harvard

Biden’s pardon of his son going back to 2014 covers Hunters’ Burisma activities. Whether or not there was criminality, there might have been an investigation by the incoming Trump administration. That is off the table now (as is Hunter’s 5th Amendment claim before congressional investigators). Also off the table is any Trump administration investigation of Biden for issuing the pardon to obstruct justice, on a theory of obstruction akin to the ones Mueller was floating (though not in the pardon context) in Volume II of his report. Bob Bauer and I explained in “After Trump,” p. 127 ff., why a president could theoretically be prosecuted for using a pardon to obstruct justice. We also explained (p. 126) why such a prosecution would not necessarily be precluded by the Article II pardon power, which makes the pardon absolute for the beneficiary of the pardon, but “does not afford the president , as the grantor, immunity from commission of a crimes in connection with the granting of the pardon.” However, Biden is protected by the Supreme Court’s July immunity decision from criminal investigation for possible obstruction of justice by the incoming Trump administration. The Court said that a pardon was a conclusive and preclusive presidential power, and that the president's exercise of such a power is broadly immune from criminalization, investigation, or prosecution by a subsequent administration. The Court in reaching this conclusion expressed worry about “an Executive Branch that cannibalizes itself, with each successive President free to prosecute his predecessors.” I.e. Biden is the first beneficiary of Trump v. U.S.

@ThePHPF @packagist @Xdebug Looks like someone already created github.com/php/pie/issues…

@mkopinsky @packagist @Xdebug Could you please create an issue on GitHub for this? github.com/php/pie/issues

Announcing the pre-release of the PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) 🎉 Think of it as Composer for PHP extensions: they’re distributed via @packagist and handled similar to regular PHP packages. Check it out and share your feedback 🐘💜 thephp.foundation/blog/2024/11/1…

@Ridxery @ThePHPF @packagist I"M SO EXCITED THAT I EVEN HELD DOWN SHIFT

@ThePHPF @packagist I AM SO EXICITED FOR THIS THAT I FORGOT TO TURN OFF CAPSLOCK

@ThePHPF @packagist Amazing! I've been waiting for this for years. Is the end game that I can get this through a composer global install?

@robertgraham Thanks for the nudge to make the switch.

There's an app that scrapes Twitter for accounts you follow, then follows them on BlueSky (sky-follower-bridge.dev). I ran this. My Bluesky feed is now full of techies and quality accounts on other subjects. My Twitter feed is trash.

@JYuter Does prompt engineering meet the sorcery requirement? Or do I need to learn x86 assembly?

First order of business: Combine legislative and judicial branches and rename both to "The Sanhedrin" Second: Members won't be elected, but ordained. Third: They'll have to meet R. Yohanan's criteria (per Sanhedrin 17a), but we'll allow for programming languages.

MY TIME IS NOW!!!!! Hold up, Babylonian Talmud or Jerusalem Talmud?

@AffWeapons @WordPress @wp_acf Actually I take that back. Looking at the plugin page, there's no mention of "fork", of the original plugin name, etc. Yeah, he's claiming it's his own.

@AffWeapons @WordPress @wp_acf That particular line doesn't bug me - he's not claiming it's his own work, he's claiming it's a fork. (Which it kinda technically is.) Now, dishonest/morally offensive... they're vague terms but this SCF thing to me clearly crosses those lines.

We have been informed that @wp_acf has emailed this to their customers: "We are reaching out to you promptly and directly to address Matt Mullenweg's unprecedented and appalling actions on Oct 12th to forcibly appropriate the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin and .org listing. The potential impact of Mr. Mullenweg's improper action is that millions of existing installations of ACF will be updated with code that is unapproved and untrusted by the experts on the ACF team at WP Engine. We want to highlight how you can immediately reduce your exposure and risk now, and ensure you are using the genuine ACF." However, from what we can tell, they have not updated their version to patch the security hole we patched in 6.3.6.2 of Secure Custom Fields. So using their version does not "reduce your exposure and risk", it actually increases it. On behalf of the WordPress Security Team, we are advising to *avoid* Advanced Custom Fields until they release an update that patches the problem with $_REQUEST we fixed in 6.3.6.2. Their code is currently insecure, and it is a dereliction of their duty to customers for them to tell people to avoid Secure Custom Fields until they fix their vulnerability. We have also notified them of this privately, but they did not respond.

@robertgraham Thank you for translating to Freedom Units.

@automattic I'm confused. Is she going to wordpress[.]org, the WP foundation, or Automattic?

Welcome BACK to Automattic, Mary!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Full deets @ wordpress.org/news/2024/10/p…

@MCpublicsafety Got it, thanks for explaining!

@mkopinsky The Department of Public Safety is not a law enforcement agency. The truck labeled "Police" is a County-funded vehicle that supports the Montgomery County Major Incident Response Team (MIRT). Members of MIRT are either municipal police officers or Sheriff's Deputies.

Yesterday, our Special Operations personnel stood by at the @GladwyneFireCo with numerous partner agencies while @POTUS was in the area. We’d like to thank our friends at Station 24 for the hospitality!

@CasJam There's unhinged, and then there's "Add a checkbox to the login form for your open source software asserting that you have no ties to the maintainer's chief competitor". It's really next level. The screenshots are real, the behavior is unreal.

Wait — those screenshots of the checkbox on the WordPress login are actually real?! 💯 thought that was a joke.

@vovafeldman Just like the trademark stuff - he's throwing a hissy fit that they're *removing* references to the Wordpress trademark from their site.

OMG 🤯 And I thought this couldn't get crazier. Does it mean WPE customers, employees, and affiliates are no longer welcome to use WP.org or contribute to the WP project? Isn't that the opposite goal of what has started this fiasco? #wpdrama #WordPress
