The ongoing feud between Wordpress and WP Engine is threatening open-source principles and good name
  • pcgaldo pcgaldo 1w ago 100%

    I think the real problem is that Automattic did not plan for another company to get this volume of customers using WordPress, creating a burden on WordPress servers that is not compensated for.

    What they should have done is set limits or payment plans above a certain volume of connections or transfers from a person's or company's servers.

    The problem is to act in this way, suddenly, apparently without foresight and that the possible problems will have to be borne mainly by WP Engine users.

    Yes, but I guess what is limited is access to those resources from a site running on WP Engine servers. I also assume that users can download the themes from outside WP Engine and install them anyway.

    The Subversion repositories with the code are also public. Anyone can use them. There is no restriction of freedom by restricting access to such a repository, if the code is still publicly available.

    This way WP Engine still has the opportunity to mount its plugin and theme repositories, without taking abusive advantage of the WordPress repository infrastructure.

    There is work, energy consumption and so on behind it. Expenses that WP Engine is not taking on and does not even want to compensate for.

    Automattic's reaction may seem like overkill, but it's a clear and forceful wake-up call to companies that are out to parasite their work and infrastructure. They do it because they have a privileged position. I think they are right to do so.

    This does not mean that somebody could criticize a possible lack of consistency when Automattic is the company that adopts abusive attitudes towards third parties.

    I'm not clear, has access to the code been denied or only access to other types of resources hosted on WordPress servers?

  • pcgaldo pcgaldo 3w ago 100%

    Yes, it exists, still has a monarchy and practices forms of neo-colonialist corporatist oppression, both in its former colonies and in the territories within its borders.

    Next to them is Portugal, which also did its own. What about Holland, Belgium or Germany, with smaller empires but ruled with special brutality?

    Lo mismo hemos podido llegar a pensar algunos hispanohablantes acerca de nuestra experiencia como alumnos de lenguas extranjeras, incluyendo el inglés.

    Primero se debería de mejorar el nivel hablado, a base de conversaciones que partan de situaciones cotidianas. Después ir mejorándolo e introduciendo la enseñanza del idioma escrito, con sus normas.

    Pero no, pretenden que aprendamos todo simultáneamente, aún encima dejando de lado la conversación.

  • What are your echolalia words/phrases?
  • pcgaldo pcgaldo 3mo ago 100%

    I repeat a word and a phrase, but without oralizing them. I think them to myself repeatedly, especially in the mornings, when I get up, when I go to breakfast, and when I am nervous.

    Would that be echolalia too?

    Wait... why does Linux-libre (and #Freedo) exist?
  • pcgaldo pcgaldo 4mo ago 100%

    The FSF has clear guidelines and follows them rigorously, nothing else. It's good that they don't make exceptions. Any problem with microcode or other proprietary drivers starts with the fact that they are not free. Making exceptions would partially solve the problem, but the situation would not change significantly, and the FSF would then be violating its own principles.

    The FSF's job in this regard is to try to open debate about the problems of not having free security patches and, in any case, to try to uncover hidden vulnerabilities in proprietary tools and facilitate the creation of free tools that solve the problems.

    The most reasonable thing to do is to cite the original publication and its author.

    Thank you.

    Without it, it would be of little use. But, unfortunately, even with it, we also have little guarantee that someone will reuse the code without re-sharing it.

    Not a bad idea. It would not be difficult to include it in this project.

    Different effects depending on the antidepressant. https://www.drugs.com/article/antidepressant-medications-alcohol.html

    Avoiding alcohol is a good idea, especially when taking any type of medication.

    My laptop for home use is almost 15 years old. My desktop is almost 11 years old. My work laptop is 8 years old. Here they are talking about more modern and powerful equipment, defining them as obsolete. I don't know, maybe we should start questioning if these consumption dynamics are a bit harmful.

  • Is there an option "show less posts like this" here on Lemmy?
  • pcgaldo pcgaldo 1y ago 100%

    Since there only are tools for filter or arrange contents, nor complex algorithms suggesting contents, this kind of functions are not implemented.

    Perhaps someday some finer filtering by community or some way to limit the number of posts from each community will be implemented.

    But I don't think it's a priority for developers at this time.
