atheist1074320hDo you know about Mullenweg's ongoing mental breakdown? The time might have been better spent moving away from WP...

atheist1074320h@iiii I'd consider it a supply chain risk. Not for vulnerability, but just Mullenweg (owner of wordpress.org site) has quite literally tried to block companies access to source code, plugins and updates based on demands that verge on extortion. He's also tried to take ownership of paid plugins published through his platform (the "official" WordPress platform) and make them free (courts reversed this). The court case is ongoing. I don't see it ending in Mullenweg's favor but until it's settled and only if he's replaced, to me it's a risk.

cuddlyogre153119h@donkulator Well, this one is pretty shiny.
I don't really care about the politics of the situation. If the current owner disappeared right now, there would be new maintainers by lunch. It's as good as it gets when it comes to what it is. -
fruitfcker27711h@donkulator I agree with you. But... that shit has so many users and I have clients who insists on using it. I just make do and collect their money.
I got a WordPress site's lighthouse score from 45 to 99. Feels good man.
