No, they meant Wormwood. See reference to The Screwtape Letters.

It’s the Daily Mail, so all content is in service of outrage/shock clicks for ad revenue.

Indignation and fulmination is his shtick and gets him shared across social and the like.

It didn’t pop it two years ago when it was published/leaked. In fact since then the bubble has only swelled faster.

Agreed. My Garmin fenix is one of the most useful things I own. It's just 'smart' enough in the ways I need it to be (mostly for exercise/health), and 'dumb' enough not to bother me with useless dopamine nudges

That's a boring, played-out stereotype that wasn't even true 30 years ago, let alone now. If you've never set foot in a UK supermarket I could see you perhaps still languishing under this delusion.

I believe the general consensus is now to call them “deceptive patterns”.

Friend, I've got some news about the leadership of the majority of tech services you will use over the next 4-8 years...

@dang Is this another instance of that concurrency bug in the comments?

I find this astounding given your contributions. Feel free not to answer but how is this affecting businesses such as the one you work for? How is the rest of the Wordpress agency/consultancy community reacting to all this? It’s not a

The fact that any of the Wordpress community is standing by him at this point makes it feel more like Stockholm syndrome or a cargo cult than a healthy open source project.

There is a HUGE amount of spam content posted on this site. Extremely low quality stuff. As others have said in other comments, there is better coverage/write-ups of this elsewhere. In fact, it feels like an AI rewrite of some of those

To me, that is an absurd statement. Speaking as someone who has work in EU countries, the US, UK, and Australia, the EU was by far the best for “working conditions” (holiday, flexibility, benefits, overall working environment). I’ve never w

I'm seeing the same issue. In fact, the Pipes thread is where I'm posting this.

You wrote dump1090? Wow. Thanks very much. You’ve brought me a lot of joy as a hobby. And merry Christmas.

It hasn’t held up too well objectively, but Equilibrium does hold a fond memory for me.

I appreciate the data and considered response. And yes, I do recognize luck but also that good things take work, too. And your posts have made me recogize it all the more - it’s good to have a moment to realize that not everyone experiences

I am sorry for you if you experienced this first hand, or fear you might end up experiencing this. I wish you all the best and happy holidays.

I must say, in my experience of the parents I know and see regularly on a level I would consider very close, we must be a cluster of lottery winners.

Sorry to hear this. I urge you to seek some kind of help and support for this, because what you’re describing rings of depression, whatever the root cause (even if it feels obvious).

Many, many years into my “commitment” and it’s been the best time of my life. And my partner’s, too. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat, even the tougher times. YMMV, but such is life.

I guess AT&T have a need to slim down the rank and file a bit!

Confirmation bias in my experience. “ChatGPT can write this email to investors for me!” cognitively balloons into “ChatGPT can replace my engineering team!” Quite possibly a dash of Dunning-Kruger Effect too.

For a buy-now-pay-later business, it has aggressive narrative-shaping PR that seeks to paint it as something more. And most tech news outlets seems to regurgitate it willingly.

Nearly every CEO I’ve talked to in the past three months (only a handful, admittedly) has said something along these lines, if not quite as extreme. They genuinely believed the current state of the art is polished and powerful enough to re

Kirby. Bit of a change but I’m enjoying using it so much more. Feels like a return to my rose-tinted “good old days”.

If that’s genuinely an Automattic site, well… I guess I thought I couldn’t be surprised by the petty and spiteful depths Matt could sink to anymore. I was wrong. Infantile.
