Real issues and contributions aside; creating one plugin is not contributing to Wordpress core/itself. And if they make good money over many years, I would agree that that alone is not a proportional or very significant contribution.
The plugin was evidently significant. But doesn’t necessarily indicate overall contributions or proportionality.
I don’t see any mention of an ML assistant?
Sorry about that.
As a side note; An ‘/s’, used to indicate sarcasm, would have made it clear to me that it is a joke.
and then modify these using neutral prompts to meet a business goal (e.g., “increase the likelihood of us selling our product”).
Doesn’t seem much different from pushing/pressuring a human to meet a business goal like that.
If it was intended as a joke, I don’t see what would indicate it as such.
There are comments and people that like to spin this story. So I assume that’s what the comment was. Meaning what it’s saying.
I do ask when things are unclear or to open up the other party to elaborate on their views or meanings. I don’t know what I could have asked here though.
I took no [personal] offense. I replied because I did not want to let that outlandish, divisive, conspiracy claim stand without any refute or criticism.
All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.
With the right joystick in place, it’s certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.
Not like you think it is. It’s not a small exclusive club where they do what they want in a planned manner and only to their own gain and amusement.

What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?
We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.
Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It’s useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.
I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.
Why does the repo have a different icon than the addon? Very confusing.
I’ve been using Gesturefy for many years. I’m making heavy use of next, prev, close, reload tab actions. Sometimes I use primarily keyboard, and sometimes primarily the mouse. Left or right hand, combined, or just one of the two. I love Gesturefy.
It’s because they represent the people that they have to investigate whether the platform acted as a neutral platform or as a manipulative foreign agent sabotaging society.
with many concerns focused on how a TikTok campaign managed to propel an unknown candidate from obscurity
Looks like the target page got removed. It no longer exists, nor does a search yield an article on their site.
What question are you asking?
If that’s how you understand communism/a communist country to be, and that’s not the case, then obviously evidently it is not a communist country.
I didn’t read it as with urgency like “breaking news!” but as an assessment or statement. Which seems fitting for “documenting stuff”.
I stumbled over this video going over what’s in the leaked data dump (14 GB of text) and potential consequences (it’s pretty good/concise) [timestamped]: https://youtu.be/j84gB2cbNps?amp%3Bt=474
Before the timestamp is more info on how their platform works and how they got hacked.
It’s bad publicity. A failure to protect their customer data and people may cancel due to it or evade them in the future. It’s also an opportunity to report on or discuss their other criticisms.
I can’t speak for them; but it still seems like viable and productive activism to me, whether they do direct or indirect [monetary or personal] damage or not.
It’s not even a blow to his pocket if monthly pay continues. They modified the chat service, not their payment operations.
If it’s only email addresses and chat logs I wouldn’t call it doxxing either.
I’m surprised there’s not an evident fork yet.
