Not really. The Mozilla Corporation and Red Hat aren't direct 1:1 commercial competitors to the people they also license the trademarks to (as is the case with Automattic and WPEngine). It's an obvious conflict of interest and inh

I'm ready and willing to join any legal action.

Right. But who gatekeeps the project focus, direction and spending? Automattic does. This would be a different conversation if there was an independent and accountable foundation driving things.

Some important nuance is lost here. Matt Mullenweg transferred the trademark to the WordPress Foundation (which he is head of) and the foundation (again... Matt himself) in turn granted Automattic the exclusive ability to sub-license the na

Non sequitur. I have no legal rights to sell those products to begin with. I do have a right to sell WordPress hosting.

Thats covered by Nominative Fair Use. It's the same body of law that allows a repair shop to advertise that they are a "Volkswagen Repair Shop" (as long as there is no implication that they are officially endorsed by the car

Meanwhile, right now over on Reddit there are WordPress Core developers posting about this anonymously for fear of retaliation from Matt. He has... a bit of reputation.

Yes it is. Go ahead and Google "nominative fair use".

Here's the thing. Guess who is the head of the WordPress Foundation? Matt Mullenweg. CEO of Automattic. Now guess who The WordPress Foundation granted sole rights to sub-license their trademarks? You guessed it. Automattic. Yeah, it ge

Notably, Matt demanded that would need to be paid to Automattic instead of the WordPress Foundation. (that's according to WPEngine). Automattic is Matt's private, for-profit company and a direct competitor to WPE.

I think that is addressed in the post. Apparently the URL was only sent under certain conditions and has since been addressed: >We’ve fixed the issues with leaking your current website on navigation while you had the Boost editor open. W

I'm torn for the same reason: The UX hits all the right notes for me and I've tried every MacOS browser under the sun. I'm an ADHD sufferer and there's something about their combination of features and UI that just lets

You’re missing the forest for the trees. The cause to celebrate is not that Apple chips are being made. It’s to celebrate that chips of such high calibre are being made. It’s only a start, but it’s a huge deal in an economic, technologica

Sure, that’s obvious. The problem is the tons of content that isn’t easily associated with a product or service. Like news and opinion (many of the article’s examples are from The NY Times)

I think it's pretty reasonable and I'm probably your target audience. But I can see why some people won't think it is. And that's okay! To be clear, I think it's reasonable as long as it's a one-time payment. A

Your analysis of food price increases "in the last few years" doesn't mention the worst financial crises the country has faced in (at least) 80 years and the effect it had on inflation. It also doesn't mention the recor

While the issues raised in that piece (and the Times follow up) are absolutely valid, they aren't anywhere near what your absurd exaggeration claimed: that children can just walk in off the street with their friends and get treatment.

It's so typical of people like you to disingenuously make a broad claim about LGBTQ folks and then when questioned, narrow the scope to just trans people because it's (presumably) an easier argument. Let me remind you: *you* rep

You're unaware of data to support the claim that social acceptance of LGBTQ people (particularly children) lowers their suicide rates? Really? This fact is well established and also makes perfect sense logically speaking. https:/

I don't know what to say to that. I just described 5 or so features that are objectively more than simply "moving windows around". Maybe it's because I wasn't clear that many of those features work on per workspace

It's not the message, it's the delivery. Some people don't react well to having their skills publicly derided as "horrible". We're all human after all.

If that's the impression you got, I don't know what to tell you. Among the very first words on the page are "Donate" (clearly indicating that it is not a professional product). And directly below that we have the words

Arc spaces have transient and pinned tabs, which in turn can be organized as needed into folders. Some tabs are actually multi-tab (split screen). The folders themselves have a neat feature whereby active tabs can be shown while hiding ina
