True, but that sounds boring.

I was referring to Borderlands: The Movie, not Mario.

And I'm blaming him a little as he still took the bag.

I understand; I was just being transparent with the fact that I'm a lazy motherfucker and that I used it to "translate" the text.

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what's going on.

TL;DW Matt's claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it's called - I'm recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt's reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress' resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it's not like he's trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

There are YT courses available to support the book. Or rather, the book exists to support the courses:

Don't mind the ages of these series - I watched them in full, and they're generally still relevant. I say generally because I'm not sure if I'll ever use a Tango Tree, but who knows!

PS: If you're not sure if you don't know the required Math, I created a graph of all MIT courses with YT videos here. The courses on the left are dependencies for those to the right.

"“It was very annoying,” says Ms Rosenberg. “I had 10 minutes to do that and nobody saw the last ones that I did were much better.” Jane Rosenberg was much happier with this sketch of Caroline Ellison which attracted far less attention than one she had 10 minutes to draw.

I asked ChatGPT to convert the text to common words:

"Academic writing is often hard to understand because it uses complicated words specific to a particular field, making it easier for experts to communicate with each other but harder for outsiders to follow. This keeps certain knowledge limited to a small group of people and maintains a cycle where only the educated or 'in' crowd can fully engage, while others are left out."

She ignored community feedback (I want customized channels back!) and turned YouTube into the dopamine riddled mess it is today.

Still, fuck cancer. My condoleances to her survivors.

This describes Christianity (to an extent). When I turned atheist (because I couldn't believe in God/Jesus anymore, not because I didn't want to) there is this very Church-shaped hole in your proverbial soul that needs time to close. It's a very sobering, yet lonely, way to live life, but due to the internet you don't find yourself lonely for too long, but I imagine it used to be a pretty terrifying way to live life pre-internet.

I am lucky my Christian family still loves me, and I know they only proselytize to me (every now and then) because they care.

Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he's pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

I for one am happy we're getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we're stuck with.

I was able to do it for a restaurant once, where I was the first one to do so. I got 1.6+ million views on one image of the (then empty) restaurant. I'm pretty sure that's the peak of my online presence. It's all downhill from there.
