Prevent anyone else from profiting off of the ecosystem. Wordpress might technically be GPL, but the code itself routes most of the key features of Wordpress through Automattic. If you have a massive technical moat around the ecosystem, it

The thing missing from these briefs is the context. We're not seeing the hundreds or thousands of other daily reports that are mixed in and have to be acted on. It's easy to cherry pick after the fact. Case in point, just going of

> WordPress is still GPL licensed. Only because it's forced to be because it in turn was a fork of a previous GPL license. It should be noted that Mullenweg has regularly weaponized the GPL license in the past - using it to take out

If you followed his months of mad ravings, he made it clear that Wordpress is not a true open source project. He has direct control over the project via Automattic appointments in the community, everything is designed to route through his c

The first buyouts happened before the job market fully tanked. I'm sure there are people who are stuck and have a house payment, but it was pretty obvious the shenanigans were only going to get worse. Also, if you're just there fo

Anyone who wanted to get on with their jobs would have taken one of the buyouts. Everyone who still works there has to be committed to Matt.

> WordPress founder and a key advocate for the open source community This should probably say self appointed advocate. He really hasn't advocated for much beyond collecting payments to Automattic.

Even if you're pro-AI, there's a reason calculators are banned from math classes until a certain point. It seems like a no-brainer to have people learn on hammers before moving them to nailguns. I can't help but think of this

I know this is an extremely hot take, but it's not the license plate reading service that bothers me. A license plate is specifically a tracking number to identify a registered vehicle on a public road. The 4th Amendment gives you priv

There's not really an alternative that also lets farms be independent. If a GSPs really wants that level of control over farms, they might as well start buying them up. The reality is that the documentation is like software T&Cs. Y

This analysis is a bit shallow. Massive GSPs grew as a solution to deal with the massive problems that come with greens sourcing. If an individual farm has an outbreak they can (usually) source it, eliminate it from the supply chain, and
