Maybe time to rename the pacific, Atlantic, and arctic oceans to be more Canadian? We do have the longest coastline.

Seems about as nonsensical to me as renaming the gulf.

Matt looking down at the #WordPress community on Reddit this Christmas eve, wondering why the we are all still singing and enjoying ourselves without our wordpress.org toys.

Working on my homemade custom hifi amplifier. It’s pretty weird debugging an amp in real time when it’s literally playing the audio for the movie you’re watching.

Revolut now supports buying eSIMs right through the app. Super convenient. Just bought a 1GB European one to hold me over until I can reactive my Spanish sim.

130,000 people went out to protest in Valencia the other day. I’m debating heading back on Friday. Been a while since I’ve been there and seen my friends and my apartment.

Lots of plugins migrating off dot org to GitHub. Official account is trying to make it sound like anything other than dot org won’t be secure. This is mostly nonsense. Also in the official responses to WPE’s lawsuit, Automattic’s lawyers suggested they download it from GitHub. Just gaslighting here

WPE responds to Matt and Automattic’s injunctive relief response. They basically say Matt and Automattic seem to be living in an alternate universe where what they are saying in legal docs is opposite to what they have said publicly.
