The ultimate end-game of capitalism: Its own decommission.

Matt is a good guy.

As far as FOSS businesses and leadership goes, Matt is a prime example of how to do things right:

Listen to your users and not some aloof ueber-nerds. Iterate in small steps. Listen to feedback. Avoid breaking userland as much as humanly possible. Don't give in to software fads easily. If you take do on new stuff for solid and well-evaluated reasons, go in full and manage that new dependency like it's your own. ... As WP experts might recall, it took a decade for WP to jump on the quite very l00ny and bullsh*t ridden VDOM bandwagon, and when they eventually did - for the Gutenberg feature that was a perfect fit - they went all-in right away and made react a central core dependency and stuck with it. So much so that WP is a feasible source for a React-stack without even needing to install Node to build and generate React widgets. ...
Anyway, I digress. Matt Mullenweg took a small blogging engine and built it out to a 7-billion dollar operation that holds fast and true to its FOSS core values to this very day. WP & Automattic are among the top 10 of most influential internet (mega)corps, and for quite some time now. To emphasize: His rag-tag band of a measily 2k+ remote-work pioneers is playing in the same league as Google, Apple, MS, Amazon, IBM and Oracle when it comes to Internet and Web mindshare and user-power. WP has approx. 50 Milllion active setups hooked to the Web, run by all kinds of people and orgs, from large Corps. down to single web freelancers and private folks. That's 30%+ of the _entire_ Web. They are the FOSS bastion against F@keb00k, Tw0tter, TrashTok and all the other commercial surveillance apps the regulars are hooked on these days.

I could go on, but I think you're catching my drift.

So effing what if he screwed the PR-pooch a little? He admitted his faults on that part and promised to be more careful in the future. Case closed. Move on. Nothing to see here.

Matt Mullenweg is a gallion figure of FOSS leadership, right up there with Linus Torwalds, Ton Rosendaal and perhaps a few others. He's been doing his thing for decades and has epic megatons of results to prove the validity of his general approach.

So unless you want to look like a Type-A epic-style douche, I suggest you take the noisemaking and name-calling down a notch or two.

EOM

they get to hit Ctrl-Z and undo the mistake. But when ordinary people get hacked and their accounts are emptied or get scammed out of their life's savings, there's no recourse.

How on earth do you get the idea that I live in "far-right fantasy land"?!??

It might surprise you, but there is a plethora of "left-leaning" intellectual schools that have anti-theism, atheism and secularism as core values. You might want to read some intellectual non-fiction on occasion.

My comment didn't even include a value judgement. If anything it actually made somewhat an argument _for_ old-school abrahamic revelation cults. In that regard the cult doesn't even matter all that much, as long as it holds family and offspring as a higher or the highest values.

By and large it's happenstance that the cult making the most noise in our time is 1sl4m. It could just add well be some variant of Christianity, Judeism or some other cult some came up with and managed to bring up to speed.

People using automation, especially for things they can't do themselves in similar quality? No waaaaaay! OMG, I'm so glad we have academic studies for this sort of thing.[/sarcasm]

Poor language humans adopt large language models.

By premium Apple laptop for 4k Euros. Boot up, press play button, get blasted with Apple Music ad.

Get nagged by same laptop at least once a week because something something iCloud, give us your subscription money.

Need IT expertise and FOSS demons/services installments to reclaim play button and stop iCloud ads, like on some cheap-ass discounter Windows trash top.

Unacceptable. They've lost me as a customer.

Not only is this a dupe from a few weeks back, I think it even has the exact same wording in the title. Not sure if I've ever seen that in my 25 years on slashdot.

To be fair, ever since Firehose dupes have gotten less, I'll give them that.

There is no two ways about it: Blender is a gallion-figure FOSS project and Ton and the Blender crew deserve all the accolades they're getting.
Once something like that comes along it causes - often overdue - disruption. That's the way it goes.

Look at Git for such an example. If anybody came about with Perforce today they'd be laughed out of the room. Subversion and BitKeeper aren't even actively developed anymore. There's simply no point. The CGI space is seeing that with Blender in recent years.

... 3D, anim, composite, NLE and all. Final master render done on a single workstation PC, averaging .5 seconds for 4k frame.

ROTFL! ... Nice.

Remember when a single RenderDrive used to cost as much as a brand-new mid-range car and had less FLOPS that a current-model Apple Watch?
I do. We've come a long way. I like this.

... glimpse of art forms and styles the avantgarde of gamers, game developers, computer enthusiasts, 3D artists, modders, demo programmers have been doing for _decades_ and completely lose their sh*t and wet their pants over a cute indie title? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they're getting the recognition. However, they're going to completely lose their mind when they discover Simon Stalenhag. Years after amazon made a series out of his art. :-D

It's astonishing in what kind of a bubble academia lives in. Especially the arts and humanities.

No dumbed-down UI concept is going to change that, not for any professional level 3D/Compositing/NLE/Post-production/etc. tool in the world.

Blenders UI used to be quite unusual, now it's closer to mainstream. But it always has been good, in parts very good right up to outstanding. For instance, Blender was the first 3D tool to have a fully OpenGL accelerated UI and a fully configurable UI. That was back in the year 2000(!). Yes, completely configging Blenders UI to your liking was quite an adventure 25 years ago but it _was_ possible, quite unlike Softimage, Lightwave, Maya, that newcomer Cinema3D or others. These days it is an industry leader in that regard. As in many other categories.

3D toolkits are hard. They basically constitute entire system in themselves. If someone knows a 3D toolkit well it is _very_ likely that that is the only piece of software they know and that they are a professional that built their life around using that toolkit.

The truth of the matter is, if you want to learn a 3D toolkit today, Blender is a very good place to start. And its UI and usability is lightyears ahead from what it used to be. And AFAICT quite beyond what the industry considers standard today.

... a WPE customer have with Automattic? Especially one that Automattic would be breaking by going after WPE for trademark infringement?

I don't see a case here. Sounds like PR noise to me.
