The tech world would be a lot less sweet without them.

WordPress continues to burn in a dumpster of their own making as WP Engines' lawsuit moves forward. Unfortunately, it's not just two corporate toddlers squabbling in an isolated sandpit. It has implications for the rest of the WordPress ecosystem and beyond into open-source. With open-source maintainers already overworked and going gray, the rush of new blood to pick up when the old guard leaves is drying up! Finally, it's time for the mega-corporation to buy their own nuclear power and play out one of those dystopian movies I'm sure we've all seen.

Meta and X are using your data again for their own ends. The global presence of Microsoft is being seen as a potential disadvantage in light of the CrowdStrike debacle, while it points to the EU as the reason it can't lock down the kernel.
