Finally took the dive into WordPress block filters, and @oldcoyote has a very nice tutorial on utilising the `blocks.registerBlockType` hook to modify existing blocks. Nice work, mate, many thanks!

Okay, can someone explain whyTF a private install of WordPress dot ORG is showing me ads in the media upload area? #wordpress #wp

#EU countries are considering deploying a deterrent force of 25-30 thousand troops in #Ukraine — #WP

#European peacekeepers will not be deployed along the contact line to show force if #Russian troops try to resume the war.

There could also be a large support group outside #Ukraine if it needs to build up strength and move quickly, The #Washington_Post reports, citing information from its European sources.

#France has estimated that it can contribute about 10,000 troops.

@jbz so I guess #Mullenweg wants #WPengine et. al. to "#ForkOff!" and build a better #WordPress without him...

• Pretty shure they'll gladly do so and let him be a king without subjects in the shallow husk of #Automattic's remnants.

#NeoPress / #NewPress / #LibrePress #fork of WordPress, when?

#WordPress is discovering that having a #Benevolent #Dictator for #Life is not such a good idea and that a more community-driven model shold be probably the way to go

We (Javier Luis Cánovas Izquierdo and yours truly) have been advocating for a more #transparent and explicit #governance of #opensource projects.

In particular, we argue that each project should include a governance.md file with this information. So that, contributors (but also users) can have this info into account before deciding to invest their time in the project.

We also argue that this governance should be #democratic but this is a discussion up to each project.

More details of our proposal:

WordPress : le feuilleton #WP Engine continue, la #justice a tranché

"Matt Mullenweg et #Automattic ont reçu un camouflet judiciaire. Un tribunal californien ordonne la cessation des hostilités contre #WPEngine et met fin à plusieurs mois de conflit ouvert dans l'écosystème #WordPress."

wp: More headaches PHP 8.3 on DigitalOcean Ubuntu 22.04
OK, as I finally get the following configurations in order. Note that from previous experience, we need at least a 2GB RAM server to not constantly run out of memory

tongfamily.com is an add-on domain to richtong.net on InMotion Hosting. Runs PHP 8.3 nicely (they have a nice way to update versions with Cpanel)

It’s just so mind numbingly ridiculous how “billionaire intervenes to block Harris endorsement” followed by “billionaire forces newspaper to platform his response” somehow equals “billionaire is not here to intervene, but to protect the paper’s independence and restore credibility.”

Independence?

Where?

I didn’t watch them tell you to fuck off, I watched them kneel or resign.

Last word from me for a while on the WordPress / Automattic / WPEngine / ACF/SCF discussion, and how it intersects with software security, supply chains, and trustworthy computing.
