A billionaire who will remain nameless is reportedly very fond of saying “Sue them” when he’s not getting his way. It’s the lawyers job to figure out what to actually sue them _for_.
> I've seen some other examples of him mischaracterizing insults (including milder ones than this) as threats, but I wasn't able to find them in my timebox. These were screenshots from Twitter and possibly Slack, presumably I could find them if I had accounts on those platforms.
“Automattic has responsibly disclosed a vulnerability in ACF but breached the @Intigriti Code of Conduct by irresponsibly announcing it publicly. I am going to work my damned hardest to ensure that the fix gets shipped to dotorg if it affects the free version of ACF.”
The tweet author is @johnbillion who, among other things, is a member of the WordPress core team and lead of the WordPress core security team.
Context for the “I am going to work my damned hardest...”: WP Engine, who own ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) are currently blocked from the official plugin repo so, I would imagine, they would not be able to push the update on their own.

What's good about this scenario is that @johnbillion isn't employed by Automattic/Audrey, and wouldn't face financial consequences if he went against Matt's wishes.
John is one guy. A vpn will get around any blocks unless Matt nukes his WP.org account (extremely unlikely). The only reason WP Engine is blocked is due to corporate security rules and accounts all using a @wpengine email address
It’s a solution that annoys me as an idea, but it’s the only thing I have found that works for me. I have about 20 individual AutoHotkey scripts that are named GO TO <application name> and that go like this:
SetTitleMatchMode 2
if (not WinExist("Mozilla Firefox ahk_class MozillaWindowClass")) {
Run A_ProgramFiles . "\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
} else {
WinActivate
}
Return
I also have individual LNK files that target the AutoHotkey scripts, so that you can run the scripts from any launcher. Here is how it looks in PowerToys Run:
I did the same thing on Windows, and when I recently moved to linux, I upped my game with Hyprland workspaces:
- if the window doesn't exist, open it (*)
- if the window exists, change focus to it (*)
- (*): on it own workspace, which allows me to run windows in full screen mode, without a title bar wasting space!
The workspaces are configured by a set of rules (ex: I have mozilla|firefox|edge => go to workspace #2 for browsers)
Hyprland is both a tiling and a normal window manager, so you can make a window either. I'm running one terminal in quake mode, with what's called a special workspace
I added a few dedicated keys:
- F2: send me to workspace #2
- Win+F2: reassign the window to workspace #2, say if I want to have a text editor to take notes while reading a page
- Win+Shift+Arrows: resize the tile, because I want a lot of space for the browser and not so much for the editor
- Win+J: toggle the tile, because I want the text editor at the bottom (or top) of the screen, not on the left (or the right)
I don’t think it is possible to get the consumption of T450s on X220.
The T450s generation (and the generation before it) use ULV processors (ultra low voltage).
The processors used in the T450s generation have a TLP of 15W.
The processors used in the X220 generation have a TLP of 35W.
On the flip side, the processors in the X220 generation (and in the next generation) are powerful, which is a good thing if you need the power and if you have the laptop plugged most of the time.
The x220 gets about 80% my T450s, it also seems to compile emacs a few seconds faster... Later today I will try and post some screen shots of power consumption. The x220 for sure can last an entire day on battery.
What he says is that, because wordpress[dot]org is his personal site, telling him what to do with it would violate his First Amendment rights.
