Well except they sold their PC division years (decades?) ago to Lenovo, so yeah, no-one cares at all about IBM PCs.
- ixtli 2y agoYeah the post uses dramatic turns of phrase like this to associate a mediocre point with something topical to get to the top of hackernews. I'm honestly not sure whats being said here because frankly im not sure who, before seeing this, was thinking WordPress was anything other than a very widely used piece of legacy software. The reason this chaos matters is because of the number of actual people that jerk's hijack negatively impacts. Further, the post seems to unknowingly prove that actually WP still does have value because alternatives are all closed source.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThat was one of the weakest points of the article. If Mullenbeg is going to turn Auttomatic into IBM, I can come up with 214 billion reasons why that's perfectly fine for most people.
