TIL Pocket Casts is an Automattic product. Anyone have recommendations to switch (and not to the disaster that is Overcast)?
fhfhfhjfnfnfmf · a year ago
Yeah TIL and now I’m done with that

Overcast is at least independent, so I’ll go back to them for now.

Its everyones freedom to build a parallel open-source eco-system, that cooperations can not legally leech on.

They’ll need to start from a new code base that isn’t GPL, then.

Plenty of people who took the offer were on the fence already or looking to switch companies anyway, it was a good motivator for them.

Are you an employee? I’ve seen a bunch of comments like this on various forums. Is Matt telling his employees to spin the folks who left?

Edit: it seems like he is. Wow.

How can these even be compared? Go does concurrency on multiple CPU cores, and javascript one one. Go can so both IO and CPU bound tasks with the SAME way, and in javascript land you really dont do any CPU tasks async at all (makes no sense to do so).

90% of Go code isn’t CPU bound so that’s irrelevant.

works for me...

> Last night, WP Engine filed a baseless lawsuit against Automattic and Matt Mullenweg. Their complaint is flawed, start to finish. We vehemently deny WP Engine’s allegations—which are gross mischaracterizations of reality—and reserve all of our rights. Automattic is confident in our legal position, and will vigorously litigate against this absurd filing, as well as pursue all remedies against WP Engine. Automattic has retained Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General of the United States, and his firm Hogan Lovells, LLP, to represent us. Mr. Katyal stated, “I stayed up last night reading WP Engine’s Complaint, trying to find any merit anywhere to it. The whole thing is meritless, and we look forward to the federal court’s consideration of their lawsuit.”

> Our focus is and has always been protecting >the integrity of WordPress and our mission to democratize publishing. From our earliest days, our highest priority has always been our customers. WP Engine can hardly say the same.

They changed the URL and didn’t immediately set up a alias, so people were hitting an error page for a bit.

I guess whatever mediocre blogging software they’re using didn’t handle it automatically, or maybe they just don’t know how to use it.
