TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

In summary:

WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

This pissed off a lot of people.

WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?

Why would you send authentication to a known good identity while on TOR? This literally defeats the purpose of anonymity.

While I appreciate this, there were far too many questions, which were pretty technical for a layperson. And even after picking the most basic options, I was still presented with like six variants of Ubuntu, including Mint and Elementary.

How about something like:

• Do you use your computer more for games, or for work?
• How much do you care about open source?
• Do you know what a makefile is?

I’m not sure this is true. They could be trained based on published works prior to a certain date as the formal writing style, eg Project Gutenberg, then layer on the recent internet to better capture modern stylistic trends.

Ultimately, the models will always require fine tuning, and selecting which data set you use for early training has a very large impact on the overall performance of the model. Additional knowledge and trendiness can be learned after the fact.

Likely need to define some basic rbac controls. They signed up, sure, but don’t receive a “user” role until after approval. Then in the home page, when signed in with no roles assigned, they get a banner saying they’re still pending approval and will not be able to post or comment.

The major concern will be retroactively applying user roles to the existing users.
