@atax1a i think it's pretty funny that you renamed him to be a migraine stage.

Folks following the #wordpress #wpdrama : All of Automattic's/Mullenweg's new legal filings dropped tonight, and i have added them to my roundup (scroll to the bottom)

@atax1a Many such cases!!!!!!!!!

@jenniferplusplus oh for fuck's sake, what did he do now?

@aud @nyquildotorg I mean, it's already mirrored in a bunch of places including bullenweg.org , at least! And my recap also still exists: https://gist.github.com/adrienne/aea9dd7ca19c8985157d9c42f7fc225d

@inthehands Well, in Oregon they only destroyed 3. In Washington, unfortunately, it was a lot more. But yes, people are working on fixing & mitigating these issues!

@atax1a lol, is this about the egg thing?

Hear me out: a new Assassin's Creed game.

@atax1a why are you deleting all the emails?

Folks, it's that time of the month again and we are, yet again, short on rent. Less short than we have been! But i need about $450 by the 1st. If you can help, cashapp is $AdrienneLeigh and PayPal is https://paypal.me/utilitarienne

@mcc @mvsde My roundup is still up and i have no plans to take it down; i haven't received any threats as of yet. https://gist.github.com/adrienne/aea9dd7ca19c8985157d9c42f7fc225d

@mcc @mvsde Indeed! And the Piers Morgan thing he sent to Bullenweg is from the UK, which has terribly shitty defamation laws. But unfortunately, even in America rich assholes can ruin your life by suing you, even if you are correct.

FYI, if you use Digital River for any product sales or subscriptions, you need to transition to another provider; they've apparently stopped paying people: https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/15/digital_river_runs_dry_hasnt/

@atax1a wouldn't it be the offfromlogical plane?

I've updated my ongoing roundup with the latest legal jockeying, for folks who are following the #wordpress #wpdrama : https://gist.github.com/adrienne/aea9dd7ca19c8985157d9c42f7fc225d

@ireneista @hipsterelectron like it's actually potentially a very usefully-limited case bc the format is so standardized! there are variations, sure, but there are also a lot of assumptions it's totally safe to make about the entire class.

@ireneista @hipsterelectron in fairness, the thing that prompted this was legal briefs, which are a reasonably clean subset of PDFs. they're all gonna be in one of like 4 fonts because courts are picky as shit, and the only bit where there's ever going to be multicolumn text is at the very beginning of the doc.

@hipsterelectron @ireneista It depends a lot on what software generated the PDFs (and with what options). IF there's an accessibility layer, reading that gets you 90% of the way there

@ricmac Craft CMS is imo the best PHP-based CMS out there on the market, and while migration from WordPress definitely isn't plug-and-play, I know @brandon and the other folks at P&T are working on some docs and tooling to make it easier!

@erincandescent @inquiline @trochee EVERY FUCKING TIME

I saw someone describe him the other day as "the Hannibal Lecter of interviewers" and i CACKLED. Just absolutely pinpoint accuracy at making people take out their entire ass and hang it all over the page.
