Has mullenweg walked back any of his bullshit yet? It's incredible that this is happening at all, but taking longer than a day to fix it is unacceptable.
The thing is, wordpress plugins are a tarpit as it is. The plugin registry is a trust anchor in an otherwise untrustworthy space. But part of gaining trust is demonstrating reliability. This whole thing is intentionally sacrificing reliability in order to demonstrate malice.
I'm struggling to imagine a way to more effectively destroy trust.

Special counsel Jack Smith, stymied at every turn by federal courts from putting Donald Trump on trial, is about to submit his most compelling evidence that the former president conspired to derail the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election.
Whether the public sees it before the 2024 election rests with U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.

and I think the year 2024 sits somewhere in the midst of a modern crisis of the accelerating development of [whatever history ends up calling] the information economy of 21st century America (currently probably at about 10-15% of US GDP)

Put some spikes on the bird feeder to deter the squirrels, and all that I have accomplished is creating a local society of smarter, more cooperative squirrels.
Five minutes after filling it up, Squirrel Robin Hood here is hanging off the side, shovelling it all out into the ground for his friends who are eating well.
There’s a metaphor in here somewhere, I’m sure.

- The "Jesse, wtf are you talking about?" meme from "Breaking Bad." Jesse: "So Matt's mom gets confused about WordPress, so Matt decides to go after WP Engine for like millions. They say no, so he blows them up onstage at WCUS. So then they call him on it, and release all his DMs to show him extorting them like a mob boss to funnel money to his for-profit company. So he takes over the news to tell everyone WP engine is fake WordPress, and out of nowhere he's like 'I'm not a mob boss! Just look how much I've given to charity!' But WP Engine blocks the news feed, so Matt uses his unchecked power to carpet bomb WordPress civilians and steal WPE's customers, and now basically nobody wants to use this software anymore."

- Well when I found this I didn't think about having to explain it, but here goes. So it's a large metal circle, inside are three smaller metal circles with seats, on each seat is a man playing an instrument, on either side are two men attached with bicycles that move the whole thing, the outer circle spins, but the three inner circles move a little but mostly remain static. They are playing a song, while the bicyclists move it around, they are all dressed steampunk, and the crowd is impressed. (remote)

The man wasn’t my dad after six pints of Boddingtons. It was Donald Trump, who could soon become the most powerful person in the world."
