Response to WP Engine’s Lawsuit
(automattic.com)
Last night, WP Engine filed a baseless lawsuit against Automattic, Matt Mullenweg, and WordPress.org. Their complaint is flawed, start to finish. We vehemently deny WP Engine’s allegations—which are gross mischaracterizations of reality—and reserve all of our rights. Automattic is confident in our legal position, and will vigorously litigate against this absurd filing, as well as pursue all remedies against WP Engine.

Are you sitting on a collection of unused domains? You’re not alone. Many of us purchase domain names with future projects in mind, only to leave them dormant. I built a simple solution to put these domains to work: YourDomainSite.com.

WP Engine Reprieve
(wordpress.org)
I’ve heard from WP Engine customers that they are frustrated that WP Engine hasn’t been able to make updates, plugin directory, theme directory, and Openverse work on their sites. It saddens me that they’ve been negatively impacted by Silver Lake‘s commercial decisions.

WP Engine Must Win
(rmccue.io)
On stage at WordCamp US last week, Matt Mullenweg gave a keynote presentation which made a wide range of points about contribution, the ethics of open source, and the commitments various companies make to contributing. In particular, he called out WP Engine in what was a fairly clear direction to the community to stop using them. This was then followed with a post on WordPress.org.

Dave's “Games Under NT 4.0” page (1998)

The web page will be moving soon. I have finally found a decent provider with FrontPage extension support. That means that I will have an NT server running a Microsoft FrontPage server.

Cohost to shut down at end of 2024
(cohost.org)
We have come to the decision to cease operations of cohost and anti software software club due to lack of funding and burnout. As of today, none of us are being paid for our labor1; all of our money in the bank, and any money coming in from people who buy our merch or don’t cancel cohost plus, is going towards servers and operations — paying the bills so we can turn the lights off with as little disruption as possible.
