He tried to extort them. Hosting providers have been selling Wordpress hosting for years without "giving back"

Does Wordpress "give back" to PHP and Linux?


Automattic are the biggest sponsors of the PHP foundation so they do give back there.

I think they gave like $100k as a donation, which is great. But they were demanding WPE I think for around 32 million a year or something nuts. You could argue PHP is way more important to WordPress than WPE is.

Are there on staff lawyers hiding in payroll or do they contract everything?

They could open source their software so others could utilise the code instead of needing reverse engineering


They've done the userspace bringup for linux since apple silicon servers allegedly exist. The drivers exist already so just throwing the device tree over the wall can't be that hard. Nobody is asking for systemready/UEFI or mainline linux.

I suspect that they might be changing their mind about upstreaming?


Eh, they probably have enough server hardware/infrastructure and potentially custom accelerators and other hardware that staffing a team makes sense

Quick web search says they at least need some kernel developers for virtualized Linux on macOS


PureDarwin doesn't work on any of the M-series machines, and according to the Github commit log, hasn't been updated since 2024.

Which doesn't even boot on modern Apple hardware without all the closed source bits...

Anything similar for Android (or anyone want to burn some tokens cloning)?

I see the readme mentions it's inspired by Loop. Ideally something that also allows tracking not-necessarily-habit daily things (drank coffee at time y)


Azure database??? In house bot protection??? In house search???

Some of these are absolutely wild. Surprised Strands didn't even get mentioned for agent frameworks.


Azure database was mostly for enterprise use-cases. Rebuilding a lot of things in-house is a real trend, especially for Claude Code when you don't ask it explicitly to consider all solutions and avoid overhead of managing things yourself. Codex and Cursor seem to have this in mind more naturally (at least using GPT-5.6 Sol / Grok 4.6)


They love adding flags to fix issues that users have without telling their users about the flags. It very much feels like: As long as our staff can have a good user experience, we're happy. We don't care about anyone else.

You are attributing too much agency. They just vibe code the thing and hope for the best probably.

That's because they code their AI tool with AI so they just didn't notice what it added and they forgot about it.

The comments there just seem like agents talking to each other.

The comments on this issue are unbearable.

The claudespeak immediately irks me now, then there’s also the irony of using Claude to complain about Claude

One thing worth noting is just how load-bearing it all is. Great point!

Agreed, but reminds me of the unfortunate usage of English as the de facto global standard. Ironically funny to see computers chattering in this odd piecemeal of a language. (I am a native speaker of English)

Would be interesting to see LLMs talk in something more terse like Vietnamese.


LLM and Google are suggesting it might be this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/exchange_server_...

A lot of Microsoft formats are open standards... Created by and only used by Microsoft...


A lot of older stuff just dumped structs in general

Claude.ai, set to Opus xhigh, attach file, "Try to decode the file format of this save game from Name of Game. Do research if necessary"

If the file's too big, you'll probably need to download a harness/local app. If you go local route, make sure you have a backup in case the LLM breaks the file

The local route it can also try to poke at the binaries that read/write the file so it would have a bit more to work with going that route


I think it's roughly the same in Ohio
