Man baby and WordPress.com CEO apparently forced this on the open-source community.

I looked at that, and thought "ha, that is a funny and obviously fake screenshot of a headline, created to ridicule photomatt for being petty in his fight with his company's biggest competitor".

Then, after closing this tab I did a double take and thought: maybe it's actually real?

And, it turns out, yeah, he really actually did that (after a court injunction required them to remove the checkbox which required users to pledge that they were "not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise"):

Billionaire power is corrosive to maturity; you can make everyone do what you want, so why find common ground or compromise when you can just throw a shitfit and demand that people agree that pineapple is tasty?

Just think, they could've spent this energy making WordPress not suck for Kubernetes deployments instead, but that's fine, we can settle for being told what to think and feel instead.

Can't wait for Google to add a required login checkbox that says "I accept that Jesus Christ is the one true Lord and Savior"...

And I'm being downvoted. Cute.

Keep em coming, kids. Nothing I've said is wrong.

If only there was some way to find out. I guess we'll never know.

Sorry, i'm already partial to banana-mascarpone pizza.

Tell me more, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Afraid you have to look elsewhere, this is a sweet-salty treat. Use some mild cheese, like Sprintz.

[โ€“] haverholm@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm genuinely curious, can't find many banana pizza recipes that aren't smeared with nutella as well. I assume this is a white pizza base since you mention mascarpone? Then banana topping with a sprinkle of grated hard cheese?

[โ€“] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

White pizza base woul maybe work too (up for testing) but i just use less tomato. Cutting banana lengthwise, olives around, blotches of mascarpone, olive oil and mild grated hard cheese and pepper & salt over all.

But Nutella, wth?

[โ€“] haverholm@kbin.earth 3 points 3 days ago

Ooh, that is salty! Will give it a try next time the family isn't around to turn up their noses at my kitchen experiments.

Yeah, Nutella... I think it was the banana+pizza search query that sent me into crรชpe-adjacent dessert territory.
