A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

At this point, Matt has to go. Open source is open source. It's that simple. WP Engine should donate more, but capitalism is all about exploitation and that's what they were doing. That's not on WordPress to right as a wrong. When they were selling free tier users' content to LLMs, I didn't see them offering to pay 8% forward to users.

Matt Mullenweg has lost his damn mind and it’s time to fork WordPress and send Matt to the naughty corner with other corrupted forked open source projects like the ones owned by Oracle.
