There are two points here. 1. The actual cost 2. What is charged As a father of two here in the UK and one birth requiring serious surgery I have no clue at all what the cost was. Why? Because our National Health Service did not send me a b

It's Automattic, not wordpress. It is also not measured in months. Rotations into Support (for a week IIRC) once a year used to happen as it was deemed important, until the day it was no longer important and was stopped.

The late great Irish comedian Dave Allen had a sketch on his TV show in the late 70's/early 80's. IIRC: He is shown in a dimly lit bunker fiddling with his radio, hearing static but other sounds. Screen fades. Comes back and

I have not read anything about this man other than this article, but I am content that he died without being subject to whatever procedures / processes / observations that would have been made had he been more closely scrutinised.

I have not noticed any breakage though it may well happen. But pages are fast to load, I get a consistent chosen font across all sites and my privacy (at least for font loading) is respected.

It is nothing to do with Apple. That is a distraction. It is all about advertising.
