If Mullenweg attempts to fire the board that just suspended him, he would be weaponizing proxy votes against the very investors who originally granted them. While founder proxies are often structured to be irrevocable, using them to purge t

Any reason needed?!? We can all see what he’s done!

I’m not an American. Those not American are frankly gobsmacked that U.S. citizens voted the current President in a second time. You all literally saw what he did in his first term!

So basically, you say it's all ineffective and can't be policed.

by chris_wot 22d ago
LOL - I remember saying this would not be something that could be policed, and a bunch of my fellow countrymen tut-tutting at me saying things like “it’s the thought that counts”, etc. Now it’s gone underground and it’s worse than ever. Mea

You are a wonderful, wonderful person. Your book is one of my favourite books I've read, ever. Thank you so much for writing it!

Funny, new hires are similarly worried the Anthropic CEO only cares about money, so they have something in common!

I'd like to buy this, but when I try to add it to the Leanpub cart, it won't add it.

Except that didn’t stop others from being banned. But hey, admins could never be damned with accusations of consistency (or basic fairness).

The hardware, software maturity (I’m looking at Gnome here), and lack of wanting tinker with the core OS and wanting to use an M5. FWIW, in terms of software maturity - I think some might find that funny as I contribute to LibreOffice code

My son setup Gamepass a few years ago. It was the biggest rip off I've ever seen. So many things about Microsoft are out of kilter. I'm about to migrate my daughter away from a 3 year old Lenovo Yoga to a Macbook Air M5 - it'

Even more incredible that someone who represents an organisation is allowed to edit the English Wikipedia under that username! Anyone else would have their account banned. But hey, don't expect consistency or fairness from the ones on

Could you use it in production?

Do you have proof there are more editors now? By an order of magnitude? Or don’t mean there are people who like to participate in Wikipedia drama and who don’t actively contribute to article creation?

Not more obscure than Brainfuck.

by chris_wot 3mo ago
Given the people now running the English Wikipedia, this is hardly surprising. Most of these folks have no real interest in article creation, only drama and fiddling with things like categories.

That's nothing. He have Surface Pro laptops, and of course it has Copilot built in. I tried to open an app by typing in a search. On versions without Copilot turned on, instantly finds the app. On a Surface Pro, takes a good 20-30 seco

Indeed. The person who responded made the following points: * BHG then made a thuggish and threatening post on your user page: * BHG later characterised this like "oh but he was trolling me and I merely asked him one time on his talk p

How was I instigating constantly, Chris? Can you provide any evidence of that? Perhaps an ArbCom investigation? You can't, because that never happened. But hey, keep defending BrownHairedGirl. You seem to be fine with her constant abus

And why was that interaction ban enacted? It was immenseley unfair. It was pathetic in fact, given it was a one-way ban, and she had consistently denigrated me. Unless you think that's justice. So no, not the pot calling the kettle bla
