Hi Northern Hemisphere 👋🏻 Small request: When communicating with an international audience, instead of using seasons to depict time, can you please use a unit of measurement that is the same for everybody? eg. "In June" rather than "In the Summer". Thanks, Southern Hemisphere.

#eSafetyCommissioner You do realise the irony here right? First step is to provide your name, email, and school. I feel eSafer already... @safeinternetday

@srikat @MrDaveFoy I don't. I only use it for work stuff, and if I'm working, I'm at my computer. I use a mix of Clickup and GDocs for personal stuff.

@robeylawrence @MrDaveFoy how do you sync it with your phone?

Selection of a PKM tool is a matter of compromise. - Logseq: flaky/frustrating issue with dragging and dropping images, sync issues if file names have certain characters - Reflect: no ability to zoom into a node, no PDF previews - Workflowy: no PDF previews, no E2E - Tana: no mobile app (atm), no E2E, no offline

@MrDaveFoy @srikat I'm still using Logseq too. It's been great as a work journal and personal wiki for documentation. And it was easy to migrate when I moved from MacOS back to Windows.

@srikat @robeylawrence That's good news! Yeah, I love Bear. It's been my mainstay for a good while now. Haven't felt the need to explore anywhere else.

A8c: "Hmm, we seem to be short staffed at the moment, I don't know why. We will need to be extra smart with our resource allocation. Also A8c: Hold my beer...

And @photomatt has turned @WordPress into the King Joffrey of the internet. Nice.

Onesie party! #WCSyd

@wpmodder @GoDaddy Done.

So very happy to be supporting the #WordPress community in Sydney, Australia! If you’re at #WCSyd, please say 👋 to our @GoDaddy crew!

Just @photomatt letting the big numbers blind him from the important numbers. Like, the number of long-term contributors leaving the project entirely.

@automattic @wpengine In order to "protect the community", let's just have a bit of hush for a while hey?

Today, in order to protect the community from the threat posed by @WPEngine’s conduct, we have filed three documents with the court. These documents respond to WP Engine’s cherry-picked versions of events with critical context not found in their legal filings.

Really enjoying these episodes of "@lukecarbis and @sirjonathan react to #WPDrama" on the Crossword podcast.

@JavierCasares @boborchard He re-wrote and re-published the DHH post. Same url.

@boborchard Hope so.

#WordPress #WPdrama What I expect to happen in the next few days: On Monday, the 21st, Mary Hubbard starts and can put a wall between Matt and the Community (.org). - Access to all blocked contributors is restored, both in Slack, and on Twitter. - The login access checkbox is removed. - The obligation to buy a ticket to a WordPress Event requiring a user access is eliminated. - I have doubts about the ACF/SCF. In any case, although debatable, I do not think it is necessary to restore the community (for now). If these things happen, which indirectly assumes that Matt will focus “on his company stuff” and leave the Community and the Project aside, I think most contributors will actively participate again. But this depends on that vet power that can be applied. If at least the first 3 things on the list don't happen, I think we're already going to mid-January. Why? In mid-November WordPress 6.7 comes out, and I doubt that anyone will start setting up equipment for WordPress 6.8 immediately, for one thing because from late November to early January holidays begin in many parts of the world where most of the contributors are. Add to that, that people will want to get out of the current noise and will want to temporarily get away from the project and rest (which I recommend to everyone, including myself). This means that we are going to early mid January which will be when the 6.8 equipment will be assembled, which also means a delay in the launch date, which would not be in February-March, but in April-May (which would probably lead to only two releases in 2025). And this is where we will really have to see how everything is in general, how is the legal part, how many contributors there are (and if there are not, how Automattic will supply them)… I sincerely hope that the first step happens because if it doesn't, this whole process and the next releases will be uphill.

@AspirePressOrg And when the overall goal is to work together, this is important. It would be great to see some more about who AspirePress actually is. This isn't meant in any negative way, I just thought I'd mention it in case an external perspective is valuable. 🧵4/4

@AspirePressOrg On the website it has, "Who are we? We are open-source maintainers, business owners and dedicated community volunteers." IMHO, being part of a community is getting to know each other individually, rather than interacting with brands. 🧵3/4

If you develop WordPress plugins, AspirePress wants to be a home for them. We want to foster a decentralized, federated, open source world. And we’d love to have you as part of our repository.

@photomatt @nathanbarry @derrickreimer That's something a nulled plugin shop would say.

@nathanbarry @derrickreimer Please explain to me to me what is not allowed under the GPL.

WordPress has shattered the implicit trust between developers and package repositories. Be warned, you may no longer be installing the code you intended to install when you pull from WP.org. These are some dark times for open source.
