@dansinker You get me.
@Meyerweb They forgot "I am not a crook."
@aka_quant_noir @Meyerweb And "I won the election."
@aka_quant_noir You're a crook... You're a cheat and a swindler...! That's what you are! How can you do a thing like this?!
@Meyerweb I figured the whole thing was a joke, but just for kicks I looked at the actually login form...and they really did add the part about WP Engine?!?!?
@kelson seriously?!
So now because I work for an agency partner of WP Engine I am also banned. This is exactly why I'm leaving WordPress and the community!
@kelson@kvibber.com They really did. It’s the worst.
@Meyerweb the wp engine part being real nearly killed me from laughter
@Meyerweb wait holy shit the first one is real
@Gaelan Yeah, sorry, everything is terrible.
men exhaust me lol
@samiamsam Speaking as one: seriously, why are men.
thank you!!!!
lol, brilliant send-up!
@Meyerweb
[ ] And anyway, forgive me.
@Meyerweb I can’t believe that how I learn they did this. This is bonkers.
@adamas Sorry about that, man.
@Meyerweb
oooh that has huge hints of Stuart Semple's Black! (of which I have some Black 1 and Black 2.)
@Meyerweb Glad I wasn't the only one who thought this
Need a CAPTCHA checkbox.
@Meyerweb LOL, I thought you were kidding but that WP Engine reference does exist on the actual login page. This is childish, idiotic, insulting, hateful, and classic gatekeeping.
I get that there's a branding / license issue going on but .org is a GPL licensed project and should be treated with some respect.
@josephdickson Sorry you had to learn about it this way.
@Meyerweb no apology needed. Thank you, I'm glad I scrolled past your post and investigated further.
Rant: Admittedly I have not committed for two years. But, like many have put a lot of time and sweat into this project only to have Matt turn .org into his own personal fiefdom.
@Meyerweb OMG it gets worse... I can't log in unless I confirm an affiliation. This is unexceptable.
@Meyerweb for those like me who want to know what this is about https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/08/wordpress-vs-wp-engine-drama-explained/
@Meyerweb and the Kapoor thing is a petty fight about black and pink paint https://amp.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2019/aug/05/black-30-anish-kapoor-and-the-art-worlds-pettiest-funniest-dispute
@clusterfcku @Meyerweb I need to read this in detail but ultimately I’m trying to decide if o should be taking any steps to make sure the last Wordpress site I have fingers in (self-hosted) has anything done to prevent shenanigans. Taking a backup seems merited if nothing else.
@Meyerweb This is excellent, and then you apologizing for it on every comment is also excellent
@Meyerweb Vantapress, I would pay for
@kissane Lets users switch between Dark Mode and Ultra Dark Mode
@Meyerweb That last “Remember Me” is just creepy feeling.
@Meyerweb I read "Remember Me" in Mad Max Fury Road way
@Meyerweb This is poetry. Like you could post this next to the Ozymandias Sonnet and it would hold up
@vees This is poetry, code is poetry, therefore this is code
@Meyerweb the worst bit is when you realise that one of these is on the actual site!
@rebornmedia yeah, sorry about that
@Meyerweb Feel like this is a @NanoRaptor post
@Tedspence @NanoRaptor This is easily the highest compliment I’ve gotten all year!
@Meyerweb gotta log in and use a fun pink and black colour scheme to really get Kapoor
@Meyerweb
Really bringing the small dick energy.
@Meyerweb Communist Party? Which one?
@enoch_exe_inc Ask Joe McCarthy, he’s the one who brought it up.
@Meyerweb Okay, now I can't ignore the storm anymore. What the hell have they (WP) done this time, time to look up what happened recently.
@Natanox I don’t recommend that, if we’re being honest.
@Meyerweb what is it with these egotistical ceos getting all snarky all of a sudden. must be something in the ketamine micro dosing
@Meyerweb I like how when you put, "Remember me," after all that it sounds like a last breath demand for revenge.
One explanation I can imagine for this is that #MattMullenweg’s penis might be, like, rice-grain sized, infuriating him with embarrassment. Or maybe he started doing loads of ketamine with Leon?
