He asked her to wait. She did something disrespectful. Regardless of what they were doing, mutual respect goes a long way

"Bless Your Heart"

Look at her turning this into a WIN!! 🤣😂@lauraelizdunn turned that "Who are you" into a power move. I'm an instant fan girl 💘💘💘

When you hurt President Trump you hurt millions?? Do you guys hear yourselves? You sound like you're talking about Jesus. Stop worshipping this man!

Not a bigger scam than the USA judicial system 😉 How about we fix the things that make people want to drink in the first place?

Ok #WordPress. This is getting ridiculous.

😭 Can we come stay with you

We have a new generation of first time Eminem listeners, shocked and trying to cancel him. 😂 Hiiii you must be new here? #eminemisoverparty #MusicToBeMurderdBy #Eminem #eminemisCANCELLED #EminemOverParty

I thought he was still president?

💔 I feel thousands of innocent people in our community were harmed in the process just to stick it to a competitor. This is honestly disappointing.

I'm glad to see circumcision is finally being addressed. Oh wait.

🤣 that bot wasn't going to argue

Lets do everything to protect human life, I agree!! I look forward to universal healthcare, mandatory paid maternity leave, addressing school shootings, birth control for men, free condoms, free birth contr.....what?....You didn't mean those?....oh....

Its as if people are different and can have taste preferences and self control but no, we have to shit on alcohol consumption across the board because some people don't like it 🙄

The silence from companies and bigger plugins and themes not speaking out about what's happening in our industry and to open source is deafening. I get it - there's a risk in speaking out - but we need someone to be brave. #WordPress #ACF

He's not your clown. He is a person with thoughts and opinions who thought important enough to share.

"Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA." If Trump was truly interested in changing black lives, he would have said "how can I help?" when the BLM protests broke out. Instead, he made things worse. Proof is in the actions.

It's funny what happens when people don't have to worry how to pay their bills, their debt, their expenses and their medical costs.

Would you object to women calling each other 'Bitches'? Turning it into something empowering for themselves? Why is 'Chicks' any different if women want to call themselves that. You are not a spokesperson for all women and these women are obviously okay with being called 'Chicks'

They look eerily similar

Damn. They found us out. We want to abolish suburbs and windows and guns and legal immigration. Nobody tell them about the baby eating Sundays. 🤫

I asked ChatGPT its opinion on #WordPress takeover of #ACF using BobsBurgers. The result a great explanation for anyone who still doesn't 'get it'. --------- I asked: Let's say a foundation named OpenOS runs a repository. A business called BobsBurgers creates a free plugin named BoatFlaps under GPL and uploads it to OpenOS repository. BoatFlaps does well and gains 2 million users. One day OpenOS decides to change the author of the plugin to itself and inherits the url, the users and the reviews. It changes the name to BiggerBoatFlaps. Is this a bonafide fork under GPL? ChatGPT said: What you've described would not be considered a bonafide fork under GPL, and it raises some ethical and possibly legal concerns, depending on the exact situation. Let's break it down: Bonafide Fork: A legitimate fork under GPL allows anyone to take an open-source project, modify it, and distribute it under the same GPL license. A bonafide fork usually involves creating a new, independent version of the software, while crediting the original and maintaining the same license terms. Ownership and Author Changes: In your scenario, OpenOS changes the author of the plugin from BobsBurgers to itself, inherits the users and reviews, and renames it. If OpenOS does this without permission or proper attribution to the original author (BobsBurgers), it would violate the spirit of open-source collaboration, though it may not strictly violate the GPL license. GPL License Considerations: The GPL ensures that derivative works can be freely used, modified, and redistributed. However, attribution is key, and removing the original author from the project without permission would not align with community norms and could be considered bad faith. GPL doesn't prevent others from forking or renaming a project, but they must respect the original credits and license requirements. Ethical Concerns: If OpenOS simply rebrands BoatFlaps and takes credit for it without proper communication or attribution, it’s ethically questionable. In open-source culture, maintaining the integrity of authorship and giving credit where due is crucial. In Conclusion: This situation is not a bonafide fork under the GPL because it doesn't seem to involve the natural process of forking (i.e., making an independent version based on the original code). Instead, it looks more like appropriation of BobsBurgers' plugin. If OpenOS did this without proper consent or attribution, it's not aligned with open-source best practices or the collaborative spirit of the GPL, even though it might not technically violate the license itself. I asked: What if I told you the OpenOS is a foundation run by a man named Marty. Marty also owns a for profit called Autoenginne. Turns out BobsBurgers is a direct competitor of Autoenginne. What are your thoughts now? ChatGPT said: With this additional information, the situation becomes more complex and concerning. Here's a breakdown of key issues: 1. Conflict of Interest: Marty running both OpenOS (a foundation) and Autoenginne (a for-profit) creates a clear conflict of interest. If BobsBurgers is a competitor, and Marty (via OpenOS) seizes control of their successful plugin (BoatFlaps), it seems like a maneuver to suppress competition. This blurs the line between the foundation's supposed neutral role in supporting open-source projects and Marty's for-profit interests. Foundations, especially in open-source, are typically expected to act in the community's best interest, free from corporate influence. If Marty is leveraging OpenOS to benefit his for-profit entity, it’s a serious breach of trust in the open-source ecosystem. 2. Ethical Violations: Even though OpenOS might technically be allowed to fork BoatFlaps under the GPL license, the way it’s done matters. Changing the author of a successful plugin and taking credit for it, especially when the original author (BobsBurgers) is a competitor, seems unethical. The fact that OpenOS inherited the users, reviews, and URL without transparency is also troubling. It feels like co-opting another company's work and user base, not the type of healthy competition open-source licenses like the GPL were meant to foster. 3. GPL Compliance vs. Ethical Responsibility: While GPL allows redistribution and modification, it doesn't condone taking over a project without giving proper attribution or stripping away the original developer's identity in such a covert way. Open-source licenses don't just exist to allow free access to code—they’re also meant to ensure a culture of collaboration, trust, and transparency. OpenOS's actions could be GPL-compliant from a legal perspective but fall short of ethical expectations within the open-source community. The spirit of GPL promotes freedom and fairness, and this situation feels more like manipulation of the license to stifle a competitor. 4. Abuse of Power and Influence: If OpenOS has a dominant position in the repository or ecosystem and uses it to suppress or co-opt successful competitors, it could even be seen as an abuse of power. For a foundation to do this would damage trust within the broader open-source community, and it may deter future contributors. Final Thoughts: The situation looks even more unethical with this context. Marty appears to be using his position with OpenOS to harm a competitor (BobsBurgers) under the guise of open-source principles, while benefiting his for-profit venture Autoenginne. Even if legal under GPL, this behavior undermines the trust and fairness that are critical in open-source communities, and it risks damaging the reputation of OpenOS. Ideally, foundations like OpenOS should maintain neutrality, not favor the personal or business interests of their leaders.

The speech is out there for your full review if you are worried about that

All the #Bennifer fan dreams came true after all these years

This is bullshit. Scott is one of the smartest, most friendliest people around. Now the Pods plugin is at risk over pettiness. Scott is being unjustly punished, so is Pods and it's users. Don't tell me this is about just WP Engine when innocent people keep getting screwed over. Wtf #WordPress?

I have the atheist glasses (I wear contacts)

And out of the ashes comes innovation. Kudos to the individuals who worked on this. Its a much needed resource. #WordPress wpremote.com/morpheus-a-new-…

A lot is said by whats not said: Pro-life, until born Religious freedom, if ur Christian Law & order, except for 1% Family values, only if u think like us Church, if ur Christian School choice, if u can afford it Free & fair elections, but only if we win then its rigged

Trust me. It will only work 1 time 🤣

Why 😭 What did I do

@fjamie013 Awww. I love you for this response. <3 To the girl: you are way prettier than a Kardashian.

observations: 1) trump waited til last minute to do something. kind of suspicious. 2) we don't have a democrat president yet or in the senate 3) at least Democrats didn't use this opportunity to try & get black votes. just saying

Quick question, Chris. How bad does it have to get? Cause it looks pretty inhumane from here.

Why do they pick on things so petty about Biden yet ignore the very serious things about Trump?

I haven't seen my friends in 3 weeks

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. You have to be a little crazy, comfortable with uncertainty and take criticism well.

You don't tell someone who is grieving the recent loss of a child when or how to get help. Anger is a healthy response to loss like this.

Learning that I am smart yet stupid at the same time

Yay!! I look forward to universal healthcare, mandatory paid maternity leave, addressing school shootings, birth control for men, free condoms, free birth contr.....what?....You didn't mean those?....oh....

This episode is getting boring. They need to spice it up this season.

She's an incredible leader.

I miss the 90s when we had the music in common to unite us and not the politics to divide us.

DM sent to @photomatt. I'm sure others would like to gain some clarity as well. I've been careful naming my services but now I am not so sure.... I would really like the Trademark Policy page on the foundation updated to provide some CLEAR examples. This would help people like me a lot and the community all around. #WordPress #Automattic

Not all heros wear capes. Thank you, sir

They weren't the electors.

Yes, Why did those police officers approach peaceful protesters & then seem to argue w/ them? Common decency doesnt leave u when u r sworn in why in God's name are you a police officer if u are not actually going to protect & serve. Citizens r not out there to be abuse or killed.

Baking?

Next, on the latest episode of 'As The WordPress Turns'...

This is great 😂

What a great way to say thank you to people who worked most of their adult lives wholeheartedly on a project they believed in. (Edit: correction, he started contributing at age 11!) My heart goes out to people who have been caught in the middle and discarded like trash 😔 WTF #WordPress ?

Corporations don't care about you, your health, your safety, your family and friends. That is why we need regulations. Because people won't do the right thing. We can't even get them to wear a mask during a pandemic.

It definitely was

I don't understand what's going on here

Thats why I didn't hop on this bandwagon. I didn't know the full story and people need to leave the Mommas out of it.

No. Just good in bed.

Hopping off the drama train today. When I think of WordPress, my future with it, how I feel about contributing, there's a big question mark. I'm torn between something I still love and believe in yet accepting the reality that the project is not really "the community's" anymore - if it ever was. For now, its business as usual until I find my new path, which I'm sure is the same for others. Good luck to the 159 Automattians that left and the rest that stayed. My DMs are always open if anyone wants to talk about collaborations or something new they found that they think I might geek out on. I'm going to focus on moving forward and im here to support my fellow colleagues in this space with whatever you choose to do moving forward 💜 #WordPress
