Somehow I managed to mention the wordpress lawsuit on last weekās thread instead of this one, so letās try again.
Matt Mullenweg, the wordpress(.)com guy and current owner of tumblr, tried to shakedown competing blog product WP engine (which builds on the same open source software that his company does) for 8% of their revenue (https://goblin.band/notes/9yjrc2logimd1tr3 h/t to froztbyte who was also on the old thread for some mysterious reason) or heād say mean things about them at a conference where they were one of the sponsors. And they didnāt pay up, so he compared them to cancer.
And now theyāre suing him.

Turns out trump really does understand cryptocurrency perfectly. Whoād have thought? Some folk seems surprisingly unhappy about this, though.
