I keep getting told that WordPress.org, the foundation and WordPress installs aren't the same thing. So I looked at the logos for each and I'm more confused than ever ☹️

Overnight, Ukrainian attack drones successfully penetrated over 750km into Russian airspace and struck Russia's only domestic fiber optic producer, an immensely key link for Russian drone production. The facility is heavily damaged and burning.

Trump: You are leeches. You are freeloaders. You're not doing enough. We're not going to pay for your defence anymore Europe: Okay, we will pay for it Trump: Great. Also, we make the best weapons but that doesn’t mean in five years they’ll be good. They'll be totally obsolete in five years. Also, we like to tone them down about 10 percent, which probably makes sense because whoever we sell them to, someday maybe they’re not our allies, right? Europe: Okay we'll make our own weapons Trump: HEY WOAH WOAH SLOW DOWN THERE Marco Rubio: Any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington. US State Department: Trump welcomes stronger European defense—but not at the cost of new barriers against U.S. companies. Europe: You guys are morons

Yes! Jetpack does track what I type in plugin search. Sends the data instantly to wp dot com. Thus I got the plugin recommendation email instantly. 🧵

GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump. While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond. Several claims made by President Trump have already been debunked. We've included responses from Grok AI for each claim, demonstrating that even Grok refutes the misinformation spread by the president. In this thread, we will provide geolocated footage as a reminder to everyone that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, marking the beginning of this war. 1) The United States has not spent $350 billion on this war, nor has it outspent Europe by $200 billion. In fact, European contributions have surpassed those of the US. Moreover, a significant portion of the American military aid (around 90% !) is spend in the US, reinvesting in the US economy. statista.com/statistics/1499… eeas.europa.eu/delegations/u… ifw-kiel.de/publications/new… csis.org/analysis/where-miss… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/9grtpN5K2…) 2) President Zelensky did not claim that half the American money sent to Ukraine is "missing". He stated that half of the promised funds had not been received, which is a crucial distinction. csis.org/analysis/where-miss… politifact.com/factchecks/20… edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/x2J4XJgAu…) 3) Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime, a measure designed to protect the democratic process from foreign interference, particularly given Russia's known capabilities in this area... foreignpolicy.com/2023/07/11… edition.cnn.com/2024/03/30/e… united24media.com/war-in-ukr… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/iNgj4reyI…) 4) President Zelensky is not a dictator, as evidenced by Ukraine's constitutional framework and his commitment to holding elections once hostilities cease. In contrast, it's worth noting that President Putin consistently wins elections in Russia with implausibly high percentages of votes, with opposition that 'falls out of windows", is poisened or jailed, raising questions about the true nature of Russia's electoral process. europarl.europa.eu/doceo/doc… oscepa.org/en/news-a-media/p… osce.usmission.gov/on-the-ru… japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/0… bbc.com/news/world-europe-68… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/aK1JCZlsa…) 5) President Zelensky has a approval rate above 50% and not 4%. 4% is Russian disinformation. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p… kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=re… euronews.com/2025/02/19/zele… abcnews.go.com/International… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/IHyHHTkKe…) 6) There was no NATO expansion to the East, as NATO itself cannot expand. Instead, democratic countries independently decide whether they want to become members of the alliance. The process of joining NATO is voluntary and involves multiple steps, including meeting specific requirements and completing a formal application process. The fact that many of Russia's former neighbors have chosen to seek NATO membership speaks volumes about their perception of Russia and their desire for collective security. The decision of these nations to pursue NATO membership reflects their sovereign right to determine their own foreign policy and security arrangements. It also indicates a preference for the stability and security guarantees that NATO membership offers, rather than remaining under Russian influence. Regarding the famous 'promise': Article 103 of the UN Charter establishes a clear hierarchy in international law. It states that obligations under the UN Charter prevail over obligations under any other international agreement in case of conflict. This supremacy extends beyond just treaties, as it is generally understood to also apply to customary international law. The hierarchy can be summarized as follows: 1) UN Charter obligations 2) Other treaties and customary international law 3) Non-treaty international texts 4) Political promises or commitments 5) Historical claims Russia's invasion of Ukraine clearly violates fundamental principles of the UN Charter, including the prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity of another state. Any attempts to justify this action based on lower-ranking considerations like political promises or historical claims are legally irrelevant. euvsdisinfo.eu/report/there-… nato.int/cps/ra/natohq/11520… iir.cz/lies-provocations-or-… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/fb5Fnn3Do… and xitter.cf/i/grok/share/NgIPkpYvJ… and xitter.cf/i/grok/share/NgIPkpYvJ…) 8) Who initiated this nearly three-year-long war? RUSSIA. As a platform that has analyzed over 50,000 frames/videos related to the conflict, we will remind the president ,with geolocated footage, who started this war: RUSSIA. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, despite repeatedly denying any plans for invasion in the preceding days. xitter.cf/Mike_Pence/status/1892… edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p… (Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/m1W0ZufMq…) --- 24 FEB 2022 - Russian tanks crossing the border from Belarus into Ukraine in Senkivka. 52.106063, 31.780644 4Q4J+C7C Sen'kivka, Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine Sources: xitter.cf/Conflicts/status… 1/11

The #WordPress trademarks for "Managed WordPress" and "Hosted WordPress" that the Foundation tried to register last year now require a disclaimer, basically saying they wouldn't be exclusive. Foundation and A8C just can't catch a break, eh? theregister.com/2025/02/13/w…

The #WordPress Foundation’s founding documents say that the Foundation manages the WordPress repo. They also say that the Foundation’s website is wordpress.org. HMMM as they say.

Apparently the original application for the WordPress Foundation, stating in no uncertain terms that the Foundation was mean to be controlling the dot org repository (and associated volunteers). I feel like this is a massive open-source swindle.

New: After an eighteen-month investigation, @InsiderEng has uncovered new evidence suggesting that Russia’s GRU paid tens of millions of dollars to the Taliban in Afghanistan to target American, coalition, and Afghan military forces. GRU Unit 29155 was behind this operation. We have unmasked the officers and their Afghan agents. theins.ru/en/politics/277723

It's worth noting that @Automattic owns @_WPScan_ which appears to be a direct competitor to @patchstackapp Probably just a coincidence though 🤷🏻‍♂️ wpscan.com/blog/wpscan-joins…
In December, @patchstackapp got rejected as a sponsor from WordCamp Europe. We've sponsored both #WCEU24 and #WCUS24 and never had an issue. We at first didn't even get an explanation to why this decision was made, but today we finally received the official statement that we don't contribute enough, and once "significant contribution have been established" they are happy to re-evaluate our eligibility to sponsor WordPress events (so it's not just about WCEU). Quick 🧵 about @patchstackapp contributions to the WordPress project.
