They weren't even planning to create a fork.

• Matt said his company was going to all but stop contributing to WordPress for now out of spite against WPEngine https://automattic.com/2025/01/09/aligning-automattics-sponsored-contributions-to-wordpress/

• These people said "OK we'll take responsibility for the next release within the current WordPress organization framework so that work can continue"

• Matt said nuh-nuh, no you aren't https://wordpress.org/news/2025/01/jkpress/

Basically Matt interpreted their "we're going to take over work within Wordpress since Matt abandoned it" as "we're taking over Wordpress from Matt" and is telling them through some tortured rhetoric "you aren't Wordpress, I'm Wordpress, you go do it in a fork instead"

For over a decade I went everywhere by bike in Sweden. They have bike lanes that get plowed and sanded in winter, the snow is not a problem, the problem is places with bad, car-centric infrastructure.

I mean, it's a thing TODAY where rural fire services where government services don't exist won't put out homes of people who didn't pay NBC News | No pay, no spray: Firefighters let home burn

Modern PHEVs are smart enough to run the gas engine occasionally to keep it from going bad

All my stuff is running on a 6-year-old Synology D918+ that has a Celeron J3455 (4-core 1.5 GHz) but upgraded to 16 GB RAM.

Funny enough my router is far more powerful, it's a Core i3-8100T, but I was picking out of the ThinkCentre Tiny options and was paranoid about the performance needed on a 10 Gbit internet connection

Same here in a Synology DS918+. It seems like the official Intel support numbers can be a bit pessimistic (maybe the higher density sticks/chips just didn't exist back when the chip was certified?)

Most 720p TVs ("HD Ready") used to be that resolution since they re-used production lines from 1024x768 displays

replacing them with three main product lines: Dell (yes, just Dell), Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max.

PC/Android companies not trying to blatantly rip off Apple challenge: Impossible

Japan has had an 8K TV channel since 2018, they really thought that would start being adopted a lot quicker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHK_BS8K

Yeah it feels like even Apple is half-heartedly invested in it. Lots of the first-party Apple apps are basically just iPad apps, a year after launch. And there's no real video content, just a bunch of short 7-minute teasers.

Apple should be subsidizing the shit out of developers to get some killer apps on there to prove what it can do. They seem to have assumed if they built it, they would come. But nobody showed up to the party. Developers who DID build apps, that even got featured by Apple, say their sales basically paid for the developer adapter, not even the headset itself.

It would be to replace my 4-bay Synology DS918 NAS with something with more drive bays and 10 Gbit connectivity

Same here, both the X and the Reddit things came at a time when I was trying to cut down on social media usage as it was definitely having an effect on me. Having social media that runs out and doesn't just go on for infinity is so much healthier.
