Sitting in my hospital bed and watching Kaiju films and nerd stuff.
And for the record, the new "Dead on Arrival" video from @mac84tv is very useful and it makes me thankful for having such nice people pulling the wagon in the community.
I'm looking for resources, experiences, conversations, books and papers on revenue models for open source software, as I'm releasing a product that needs to be under GPLv3.
I'm specifically looking into monthly and annual donations and "sponsor a feature" sort of deals on top of service contracts.
There's already interest, so it's more about defining the methods rather than this being possible or not.
@thisismissem Knowing how the sausage is made at the company that owns Tumblr and how it announced a VIP contract with Chick-fil-A on Trans Day of Remembrance — I am absolutely not shocked at all.
Matt Mullenweg's reactions and retaliations over the whole #Tumblr thing (while he's supposed to be on a 3-month sabbatical) have moved the whole ordeal to a point where any original justification of banning someone and throwing a hissy fit over it have stopped being relevant.
This is now a GDPR violation (and the woman being harassed lives in the EU) and is probably going to put the whole company into the limelight on those terms.
Keep criticising Matt Mullenweg. But please don't throw those of us who have worked for him and on the #WordPress project in various capacities under the bus.
Many of us not only dislike the guy, but have been hurt by him in one way or another.
But for some of us, WP is our livelihood.
Self-host your website outside of WordPress.com. There's plenty of hosting providers out there who support the open source WordPress ecosystem without involving MM or Automattic Inc.
Serious question: Do we *really* need to minify our JS and CSS files?
Does it matter at all if we're gzipping the HTTP streams anyway?
Edit: Just to be perfectly clear, by wondering if it matters, I'm not asking how many kb I may or may not be saving per request, but if it affects the user experience in a meaningful way like LCF due to large images with undefined dimensions does.
