Sitting in the splash zone of this whole thing, Matt’s contribution to the project is a net negative. Professionally and personally, he is seems unable or unwilling to deescalate conflict. In fact, he creates conflict where none is necessary, and then seems to act shocked and disappointed at the results.

He makes decisions unilaterally that don’t reflect what a thoughtful steward of an open source project would do. (And I say this as a proponent of the idea of the block editor, and as someone for whole building sites with blocks is my bread and butter- except I use ACF, full disclosure.) an example, picayune as it may seem, is the function capital_P_dangit().

It’s not picayune, by the way.

And now this mess. This is by far the most destructive thing he’s done. He needs to be removed.

I was just mentioning Britanny Murphy’s performance to my husband the other day, she was such an island of (hilarious) sincerity in a perfect river of satire.

Also I think I say “it’d be real easy” like … once a week?

“Drive me home?”

“Don’t let her fool you, she lives two trailers down!”

“So? It’d be real easy!”

The Spanish Prisoner. I won’t spoil anything, but Steve Martin’s performance is remarkable!

Primer is another movie I’ve returned to over and over.

Also, Ever After for comfort.

+1 for drop dead gorgeous, my favorite comedy along with muppets from space.

I heard about it when it was in development but hadn’t followed up! I still have escape velocity on my 2024 Mac but maybe I will check I out the loving homage.

Escape velocity (1996, ambrosia software game for macOS). My favorite computer game of all time I think.

That sounds amazing; I would buy immediately.

I am so curious. Tell me more about this? Can you share a link? What are the mines like- I’ve seen devs do escape room style challenges where you’re solving a progressive puzzle using dev tools, is it like that?

I have it on good authority it was Dancing in the dark by Springsteen

There’s like… no downside: all upside.

Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.

Who else assumed this was a technology connections video before reading the channel name?

 

Alt text (which is actually, and always has been, the title text but we all just call it the alt text: "wipe questions about old star trek episodes from MY mind and there simply wouldn't be anything left, and i would be as blank as Uhura was when her memory was wiped by Nomad, the space probe created by the collision of an Earth probe designed to seek out new life forms, and Tan Ru, an alien probe programmed to secure and sterilize soil samples from other planets, and their two programs merged and create a probe who believed its purpose was to seek out and steralize imperfect life forms and which then mistook Captain James Kirk as Jackson Roykirk, its creator!"

 
 
 

From nugget form at ~8 weeks to this photo taken at I think 6. She’s now 8 years old and looks much the same (except for a surgery scar from a total carpal fusion).
