Ah, sorry, I assumed they contributed 8% to PHP just like they've asked WP Engine to contribute 8% (of their revenue) to them.

Crazy that Automattic only makes 4,843,750 a year (and donates 8% to the PHP foundation).

They should consider asking Automattic & some of the other companies building on Matrix to contribute 8% of their revenue first.

I do think it's worth noting Automattic has raised ~$984M (via PE/other investors), whereas WP Engine has raised far less & is somehow doing far better with less headcount.

What's really telling is ~9 of Automattic's 46 own investments were inside the WordPress ecosystem, vs. 100% of WP Engine's. Things like Beeper for $124M in April of 2024 just seem awkward in light of the recent complaints about WP Engine not doing enough.

Disheartening actions by a petulant child.

Gets even more wild when you consider Automattic invested in WP Engine's Series A in 2011, despite all this insidious trademark abuse commencing in 2010.

No chance this is personal.

Anyone is contemplating this should sincerely reconsider.

What an absolute non-issue. Take a peek at 555 King Rd., 445 King Rd or the other nearby mansions. Good luck Mr. Prince, enjoy your new house (and that what looks to be a kickass ski mountain behind it).

TIL, I didn't even realize it was the same Cliff Stoll! I've bought a few :)

Little amusing that everyone speaking in the video was in front of a green screen, and not actually in the office, no?

Driving is very optional. Guns are very optional. We have both, so, we should also consider responsible adults worthy of choosing to use/not use substances.

The Senate already passed it, as per the article.

Thank you muds for introducing me to coding, and typing fast :)
