I believe that the money ‘demanded’ was for the for-profit organization Automattic. Wordpress (i.e. Matt) then tries to make it all about the Foundation. This seems to be false and a ruse to make it seem like a non-profit is fighting a company.
This is a dispute between WPEngine and Automattic.
Business outsources work they were hired to do : smart business! Employee outsources his work he was hired to do: scam!
I hate that.
As someone who know f-all about AI I support your endorsement, if only by being impressed the training took 2.5 trillion tokes so you know that AI smokes like a banger!
And for the low, low price of $4,99 you will get not one, not two but three ad blocking devices you can use to stop these ads from bothering you! Available in several cute patterns and colors. Get yours now, call now!
(warning: do not wash these cloths above 105°F or there might be ad-spillage while using the ad blocker due to shrinkage)
Not to be rude or anything but your responses sound very much like it was generated by AI.
I can just about guarantee that most of your day to day life is influenced by what people did in the past in regards to protests. Could be as huge as in civil war or smaller local protest to combat small issues. Your rights and comforts have been written in the blood of those who preceded you. Sometimes metaphorically, sometimes very real blood.
Protesting helps and did help.
Yeah, and it’s the blocking of the complete user base of an instance that’s what I truly want and seek.
The app is fine but I’m also using webui so I would love the feature to be at the ‘root’ of Lemmy instead only in 1 app.
I read elsewhere that v0.19 will not bring complete instance blocking. Communities will be blocked but not the users, and it is the users and everything about an instance I want to block. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance, as if it and its users do not exist at all. I’m getting conflicting messages on the ability of v0.19 by several people and I am lost on what it will actually bring. I guess we will have to wait and see once v0.19 is out and we start using it.
How do you, as a user, block an entire instance? As far as I know only an owner of an instance can block (de-federate) another instance. I would love being able to block an instance as a user though.
So we are finally progressing towards a Series 4000 with groinal attachment, i.e. Kryten!
