I run a WordPress site but I’m not a developer.

It seems like automatticuses the community for free development and profits from it. They in turn develop and support it, heck they created it.

However, with foss its free for WP engine to use and they dont like it. So they are throwing a hissy fit and making out its about the community and giving back. BS.

I assume it will fork.

Nonokace like /home

Would there likely be a fork at that point for those that wish to continue?

Surely we van look at apps that allow more informed data but without the anxiety. Like, here’s your data, this is less frequent than average. Or, here is your data, its the same as before. Or here is your data, its slightly different again, so we’ve already notifies your doctor, but usually this is nothing to be concerned about. Etc.

Lots of patients with other conditions have yo do similar, like diabetics monitoring sugar levels. Or asthmatics who can induce attacks by getting stressed about attacks.

We could build in some mindfulness exercises which help with anxiety. I’d say overall, its better.

Their idioms have implications beyond what he’s saying. He’s either changing his story or doesn’t fully understand them.nor my point.

Given the lady doth protest so much, my money would be on retrospective shanging of the story, not clarification.

Just like in this discussion, youre changing the narrative deceptively.

Now they are on the phone. They weren’t before, that stage had passed.

Sure, you are now retroactively changing your intent but it doesn’t change the meaning of your words.

You say listen to what youre saying. I did.

If you said, when they call advise of the current rate, is agree. Your version seems to be past that stage. In no world does anyone think that you would be obliged to honor the quote. So either your advice is not really advice, to do what is normal and advise them of your actual rate. Or, as appears more likely, you want to leverage the mistake using their sunken cost of time after arranging a meet, knowing in advance their expectations dont match the rate.

If everyone else gets it why is there another comment calling you a LinkedIn lunatic? Its not a term I would use, but I see their point. Your comment is one of two things: A pointless comment offering no advice as of course they would clarify. A comment to say leverage it to your advantage, using deceptive tactics.

Walk it back all you want but in context its clear to me which was the intent. Perhaps you meant no I’ll will, but it reads as exploitative. In quoting for any kind of work, but especially programming based work, there is a knowledge differential. This justifies fees, but the same knowledge differential is often used to take advantage of those with no concept of the work involved.

I am listening to what you are saying. ok, so you did imply this is not the first contact. Just using a phrase to do so. Obviously you meant something different.

Walking out the door, also a phrase. Again, one that’s situational. It means they are on site. For talking on the phone, I’d say hang up. So again, implying its not the first contact.

Look, I also think it can be correctly handled, but your whole post makes it sound like a pushy sales narrative that is deceptive. Youre not outright calling for deception but the implication is there. I’m not the only one noticing it.

Maybe your choice of words is wrong, but when someone tells you who they are, listen.

How do you get them in the door to tell them without the call? Youre advising using an error to your advantage to massage someone to be a client using a bait and switch tactic.

It may not have been thenolan, being a genuine error, but that’s your plan to take advantage of it. If they purposely gave the wrong amount, would it be bait and switch in your view?

Way to go on the straw man, though.

I’m saying they should not get to the point that they walk in the door. If they call, correct immediately.

It should be corrected, by Dad, prior to a call, rather than used as a sales funnel, which is the suggestion.

Honest mistakes happen, but using an honest mistake to purposefully continue to mislead to get them in the door and then correct them is a bait and switch.

In most industries, that’s considered a bait and switch. Decpetice conduct that can lead to fines.

If you contact them immediately, to rectify an error, then not so much.

Also the rise of containerised software that is more easily cross platform for self hosting what would once have been cloud only.

I doubt it. This Those was just the customer facing portal, not the actual investments. The misconfiguration has already been blamed and if they are calling it unique, they will likely see it as blameless or at least low responsibility rather than the lesson that proper configuration is required.

It just goes to show that depending on one provider is poor. Here they did the tight thing and had backups with a different provider, despite having geographic redundancies with google cloud.

They say it was a one of a kind misconfiguration but I havnt seen anywhere what that was. Could it be as simple as a payment error and enaiks going to the wrong address?

Isn’t that the point, though. Allow someone to profit from it rather than make it free to use. If there is another way to do it, that is not patented but free, they will use that, even if the code is objectively worse. See media codecs for example at the moment.

Insane people can be very clever in other ways. See Hitler, Trump, ted kaczinsky, Ed kemper.

I certainly think the joker uses others perception of him as a tool. He also wants to wwtvh the world burn.

Removing is an action, not an end result. Nothing was removed.

Did she just tell people up git good?

Lol, use Linux, it’s super gay. You’ve got to arch. Your back, that is. Also, pop, as fun to dance.

I’m not even gonna mention deepin.

Yes, but they can be won over with better education and rainbows and using trickery for entertainment purposes as flamboyant magicians with buxom assistants.

I don’t know. It’s an interconnected network or web. Maybe internet might work. We could call them websites.
