Oops, I was in Settings earlier and must have made a mistake.

On Wednesday Mullenweg posted another ultimatum in Automattic’s Slack: a new offer that would include nine months of compensation (up from the previous offer of six months).
Upping the offer may get more people to take it, but now he's going to get people sticking around to see if he'll go higher later.
old.reddit still has RSS feeds for subreddits, if there's anything you still want to follow there. e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/technology.rss
The lemmy community for my city is completely dead, so I follow the subreddit this way.
He's going to have one of Elon's autonomous cars deliver it. Should arrive any year now.
Why wouldn't he continue? It's not like there's ever any consequences for him.
First-past-the-post does need to go, but what gets me is that Trudeau started an electoral reform process involving public consultations and buy-in from the other parties, and what he regrets is not that he shut it down when it wasn't going towards his preferred system, but that he didn't just skip all that and use his majority to implement his preferred aystem.
Trudeau also commented on the form of electoral reform:
He said one of his mistakes was leaving the door open to proportional representation when he did not plan to pursue it. The other, he said, was “not using my majority to bring in the model that I wanted”—the ranked ballot.
Trudeau said he believes a ranked ballot is the most effective at reducing polarization because it causes parties to moderate their message in an effort to pitch to be the second choice of supporters of other parties.
However, the system was dismissed by many of the Liberals’ opponents who noted that as a centrist party the Liberals were likely to receive more second-choice votes and be the primary beneficiaries of such a model.
He regrets not using his first-past-the-post majority to push through a change to the electoral system that would mainly benefit his own party.
I think their mobile apps were in on the contact snooping too, it wasn't just Windows
Pricing seems to be the same as the previous version. They could have at least charged a little less for the much shorter licenses.
My 100GB music library leaves less space than I'd like on a 128GB phone.
Ukraine gave up its nukes years ago on a pinky swear Russia would leave it alone. They'd have to be Trump-level stupid to think if they just give up one more thing this time Russia will keep its word.
