Last week, I decided to leave Automattic. It's the 1st time I've been without a job & while I'm excited for the chance to rest and focus on personal projects, I'm also anxious about job hunting. If you're looking for a Product Designer / Creative Technologist, please ping me.

In 2018, @Tumblr announced a ban on "adult content." That call was made by @Verizon, Tumblr's erstwhile owner, and to call the resulting mess "a shitshow" is an insult to good, hardworking shitshows all over the world. 1/

#mundaneHalloween was started in Japan by people who instead of the flashy costumes, dress up in mundane, everyday costumes. The costumes that you have to explain to people and then they say, ooooh I get it. #halloweenCostume Banksy, remote-controlling his shredder at the auction

“What you’re really asking for is the ability to have impulse purchases,” judge says. Sweeney. “Yeah. Customer convenience is a [paraphrasing lightly from memory: huge factor for us].”

Epic’s lawyer notes that buying V-Bucks through the website is inconvenient. Judge jumps in, asks if Fortnite’s userbase is mostly young. “Isn’t that a responsible way to deal with a young client base? Why should we want them to have the ability to just on impulse buy something?”

Some people have been stealing artworks by @MrValenberg and our game VirtuaVerse to sell them as NFT. This is to inform everyone we are NOT selling anything as NFT and these artworks being sold as NFT are a fraud. If you see any of these artworks around please let us know.
Stephen, why are you so critical of Facebook and not the other big tech companies? A 🧵 for well-intentioned engineers about how to navigate the complexities of big tech.

I am very grateful that folks at Apple re-reviewed @WordPressiOS and have let us know we do not need to implement in-app purchases to be able to continue to update the app. Bad news travels faster than good, usually, so please consider sharing that they reversed course.

Heads up on why @WordPressiOS updates have been absent... we were locked by App Store. To be able to ship updates and bug fixes again we had to commit to support in-app purchases for .com plans. I know why this is problematic, open to suggestions. Allow others IAP? New name?
