Not just possibly, but absolutely valid. This is exactly the kind of thing trademarks exist to prevent. They aren't claiming the word "automatic", they're claiming that naming a framework that's meant to work with their product (WordPress) a name that differs from their own by only 1 letter, particularly such a non-obvious difference (many people won't notice the existence of an extra 't') is meant to cause confusion an think it's an official part of their offerings. Because it is. If the other company doesn't change the name they will be destroyed in court. And frankly they'll deserve it. Whoever chose that name was either a total idiot with no concept of the law, or a scammer who meant to prey on Autmattic's good name.

We don't want to be associated with a fascist regime when the wind changes.

Maybe its variable: acceleration starts, stops, reverses, rinse, repeat...

"China will win social unrest"

Has it been determined whether the IT situation was related to the theft that occurred?

Obviously it sounds like basically no bad option was left unchosen when it came to their IT config; but I'm curious whether this was a situation where the perps were actually sophisticated enough (or unsophisticated at traditional smash-and-grab/balaclava-when-on-camera techniques) to incorporate the bad IT into the heist; or whether the entry was more or less pure physical access control failure that happens to put the general state of the system in stark relief?

Obviously if it were a heist movie there'd be a hoodie kid using the power of fast typing to haxx0r the cameras and guide the operatives while using a precociously cobbled-together AI to selectively delete them from the surveillance footage; but if the overall physical security posture was bad, and the building is largely accessible to the public, it seems entirely plausible that someone just cased the joint and walked in much as they would have 50 years ago; though a different interested party is probably hosting a C2 server or some exploitation payloads on their DVR.

This is the part in the bad summer blockbuster where it turns out that there was some sort of alien organism involved in the collision; and now people are quietly scrambling to ensure it doesn't make it back to earth, right?

I trust Windows Server 2003 more than I trust Windows 11. It's less stable, but Microsoft isn't in control of your machine.

...if there are only toothless penalties on the plutocrats who lie and cheat, the data will useless. They like to hide the reasons they cut staff to keep investors from knowing what's really going on.

Another way to say this: any bill that actually punishes slimy plutocrats will likely never pass.

Our generation might not like it, but if our kids get used to it, insects are a great food source. Same phylum as crabs.

95% of countries have agreed to not swipe land. It's the 5% that cause all the headaches.

All Elon's solutions somehow involve space:

Back itches? His satellite emits a laser beam on the itchy part via an app.

Federal budget deficit? Fund Elon's asteroid mining bots to bring precious metals back to pay down the debt.

Lonely? His .20c "WarpShip" will take you to those green Orion babes. Double-Dee's are a 30% markup. 3-breasts are +60%.

Warming is already a global problem. When enough side-effects kick enough nations, they'll start to care and cooperate.

> Well, since this is going to cost money, it wont happen. Period.

Putting ocean sprayers on say 1 in 10 container ships is relatively cheap.
