If your 🔥 spicy #WordPress vs. #WPEngine smackdown doesn't talk about #trademarks, you're missing the point. Or, you could just read @adamhjk who's covered all the key details, some you probably didn't know around rights ownership. 🤩 Markets dislike surprises.
Lets talk about #wpdrama. Open source and business friends know I’m a strong believer that trademarks are the most underutilized lever in designing a strategy. They’re powerful, well understood mechanisms designed precisely for what many of us need: a unique brand in the market

I’ve spent 15 years of my life working on Bundler. When I introduce myself, people say “oh, the Bundler guy?”, and I am forced to agree. I didn’t come up with the original idea for Bundler (that was...

X : Any thoughts on Musk's attacks on the US civil service? Me : Not the way to make lasting change. It will have one very concrete result though. X : ? Me : When Trump is replaced, Gov funding and support of SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla etc will dry up very quickly.

What's your long-term succession plan for domain names and open source projects you own? 🪦 Am I the only person who thinks about this stuff? https://t.co/UhgYvjWBcB

At @OpenForumEurope event wondering how we can help #Researchers on #OpenSource to include better project affiliation/size/governance data in their studies. Gotta be some simple data projects can add to signal are at a foundation, do have governance process, etc.

Fascinating idea for one aspect of #OpenSource #Sustainability: using the university endowment model to fund OSS maintenance. Simple question with huge upside, but a really hard problem to align all the different actors. https://t.co/dt3pNDFX28

Various groups, people, policies, tools, etc. that affect sustainability.
Open source lacks sustainable funding that would ensure its proper maintenance at a global scale. I've been excited to notice a potential key to this problem, which comes from similarities between OSS and top universities — the endowment model. https://t.co/6o6eh21vbl

Sigh. 😢 Humanity is not ready for the internet. It doesn't really matter if it's foreign bots spreading disinformation, or so influencers gaming the social media algorithim; we got hosed.

- Harris - - Walz - - Obviously - That pretty much says it all. If that sounds weird to anyone who follows me, finding a broader array of news sources - perhaps some reputable international ones? - is recommended. Hi Taylor!
honestly, I carry a lot of feelings from how it was in 2016 on here (not good), but seeing dudes in tech publicly posting about voting for the future, freedom, and the next generation has been great to see. more of this please. ❤️

What if AI licensing followed a new path? 🤔 "[Lets find] a new, clean slate term of choice – one that accurately conveys the portions of a model that are open, while not falsely advertising its features by applying the open source brand to non-open source assets"

In today's "reality tries to catch up to fiction" news 🙄 Antrhopic's Claude now offers computer use, where the AI can do everything you can on your computer, including talking to other computers! 🤖 {narrator} Still not as good a backstory as the Terminator franchise. 🎬
