It looks Matt Mullenweg has ordered WordPress.org servers (managed by automattic) to block servers using the IP ranges owned by WP Engine.
That means that people trying to use wordpress servers installed in WP Engine servers can't no longer access to plugins, themes, or updates, for example
This is despicable.
This is breaking entirely with the principles of open source. It's ghoulish.

1996— "Please stop using the term “web log” to refer to a chronologically-ordered frequently-updated website. The correct term is “weblog”. Furthermore, “blog” is not short for “web log”, it is short for “weblog”."

Yes that’s how I rationalise the increasingly ridiculous density of data storage.

Imagine if Apple decided to block anyone with a gmail address from accessing the app store.
Imagine if AWS shut down your app if you used Shopify.
Imagine if Microsoft blocked GitHub for Macs.
This is the exact kind of thing Matt Mullenweg is doing in #wordpress, and it's utterly indefensible. No matter what you believe about WP Engine, their customers—members of the community Matt claims to care about—don't deserve this.
Matt needs to be removed immediately.

TIL you can embed videos on GitHub if you use webm or mov files. Way higher quality and efficient than using a GIF.

What the actual fuck is this man-child thinking? How are there no other adults in the room to stop him from executing on these obviously self-sabotaging ideas?

Hyperscalers tying up the world in submarine cables • The Register:
"Over the past decade, the amount of international subsea capacity used by the four hyperscalers increased from 10 percent to 71 percent, causing the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) to conclude that their influence “hasn’t yet been fully recognized or seriously considered.”"

As you read through @rgadellaa's exhaustive (and exhausting) catalogue of showstopping iOS web bugs [1], remember that Cupertino's position to regulators is:
- Safari is *so* good that allowing other engines would only ruin a good thing
- The web is a real substitute for native apps because Safari is so capable
- Safari is not behind on features
- Apple's approach "is working"
No, really.
