I completely agree that individuals have no responsibility to contribute, and thank you for your own contributions. But I completely disagree that a company like WP Engine should get a free pass. I see this as a paradox of tolerance and someone is willing to lose face and money over it. He didn’t get to $400m by hording, he got there by creating and sharing WordPress and promoting a community that is supposed to lift us all up
Garuda has been great on all my computers, even handled the upgrade to kde 6 without issue. It’s a bloaty boi tho. But that’s why I picked it, every tool I’ve looked for was either installed or easily installed via the pre setup chaotic aur
You make some great points, but I can’t help but think I’m okay with fewer triple-a studios. Chasing profit doesn’t breed innovation, that’s why every fast food restaurant sells the same damn chicken sandwich and live service games all feel so soulless.
Oh for sure! Not trying to get on your back, just agreeing from a UI developers pov :) I seem to have misunderstood your original intent but we’re saying the same stuff I think
I do often desire a “click to continue” option, especially helpful for asynchronous tasks. Start a render, and when you get back it says 100% without you having to look at the output folder, for instance. I get what you mean though, it certainly should say 100% unless it’s totally donezo. Probably lazy rounding errors in some cases (Microsoft products are the worst at showing accurate progress bars)
I’ve had issues like this (but with Bluetooth) resolved by unplugging the computer from the wall, and holding the power button for a few seconds to clear out the capacitors.
If it’s a laptop that’s a bit harder to do, but might be worth a consider.
I haven’t gone so far as to figure out why this fix works, but it’s happened a few times now and i can’t deny results
Bunch of great points, thanks. Funny you mention Linus, I’m pretty sure he’s done that a bunch. First thing that comes to mind is the “f*** you Nvidia” on stage 😂 in the grand scheme of things I just hope this blows over quickly, takes power away from all the ceos and companies involved. I don’t see anyone benefitting from this in the short or long term, especially the users.
I really don’t want WordPress to suffer, I feel like it’s one of the last pillars standing against a bland sea of identical social media profiles. Given enough time, completely unchecked, I see WP Engine moving heavily towards enshitification like that, and I think Matt wants to avoid that too? 🙏
