I like Min too. I've been using it for 3 years. The workspace separation is nice, along with the minimal UI. I think it has the best defaults of any browser. Unfortunately, there's a couple uncomfortable quirks and bugs to deal with. I'll probably be switching to Firefox soon and spending lots of time customizing.
You probably live a monovendor world for your workstation. Linux world is multivendor from the ground up.
Just a simple example in your language: app panel launcher can be provided by a software with a different origin of windows manager (as in move, resize, tile windows on your desktop). Yeah, kind of like android but this concept comes from thirty years ago.
What if I being a customer "help" this company translating a part of the software? I am more than a customer then? should or shouldn't suggest features? how charm may I interact with support so I can still be a customer and not something more? Can I wear T-shirts of this company?
Are you creatively crippled by not being able to create multiple outlines on a single shape on a file format that can be viewed in almost any device from here to eternity at no cost? Cause you know Michelangelo didn't use procreate in a iPad...do you?
And the cavemen drawing on walls before Michelangelo didn't have paintbrushes, complex pigments and cathedrals to paint on? Heaven forbid we make better tools.
Considering those operations are available in other vector art tools that aren't constrained by directly using SVG as the fundamental editing format it seems like a reasonable complaint.
This is my complaint about the current state of developer tools. You can buy beautiful tools to make a beautiful chest of drawers or a chair. We are, or at least were, trying to paint the Sistine Chapel with finger paints.
Maybe if we surrounded ourselves with beautiful and sensible tools it would be easier for us to write beautiful or sensible applications. Maybe there would be fewer dancing bears.
We can quibble about whether a "hacktivist" group can even exist at all or if it's a convenient lie the Internet has collectively told itself to justify groups of thugs attacking the targets they don't like as "the good ones", but they fit the modern definition of a hacktivist group.
I don't have a Twitter account, so I can't generally scroll on someone's page to see anything chronological-ish. :-\
(I remember trying at the time of the incident and having less success than now.)
Thanks for sharing the direct link to that video. At the time of the initial outage, I only saw some assertion that they were 'a hacktivist group' on some article on Bleeping Computer, and at the same time the only reason they'd claimed for the DDoS was 'because we could'. Hacking something just because you can is, of course, not doing hacktivism.
If these people are sincere, they are idiots in their propaganda strategy and artless in their 'hacktivism'... but definitely hacktivists.
But tbh this seems too stupid and ill-directed to me to be anything other than a false flag operation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think anything about our update could cause the issues he describes and we've had no other reports, this is the only claim on the internet, and doesn't include enough technical details to tell if it's an actual bug or not.
If it's a bug, our bad and we'll fix ASAP. If it's a bug, it's a very rare one. There have been 225k downloads of the SCF plugin in the past 24 hours, implying a lot of updates. I would estimate at least 60% of the sites with auto-upgrade on and using .org for updates have done so already. https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/advance...
That said, I'm happy to pay system2 whatever he thinks his time was "spent" on a Sunday is worth. Just let me know an amount and where to send. You can contact me here: https://ma.tt/contact/ .
Matt, you say that you've had no other reports and this is the only claim on the Internet.
That's not true. You have users on the support forums reporting issues with SCF.
"this has caused an incident requiring unschedule maintenance on a weekend. I use this plugin on a couple hundred sites I help maintain, so this has been a very bad experience "
There's no justification for this whatsoever - it was your actions which meant that the ACF team couldn't manage the plugin on dotorg, and the issue you fixed was unbelievably minor.
IF you even had a point in the beginning, you've fatally undermined it. Hell, WPE's motion for a preliminary injunction even now notes that your actions here have potentially fallen into CFAA territory - https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.43...
Given you've been banning dissenters from Slack, I wonder "why" people might not be reporting issues where you can see them?

Don't gaslight us. You've been removing negative reviews.
Thanks for improving on ACF. The plugin went downhill after the creator stepped away, IMO.
A while back, I bought a lifetime "Pro" license for ACF. It worked great for years. The last few times I tried ACF though, the admin experience felt degraded. My impression was their early customers had become an afterthought.
Looking forward to trying SCF. I have higher hopes for the plugin now.
While I don't deny CMSs has been a big part of my money income for decades, and CMS are a great entry both for designers, developers and business, Wordpress is probably the most horrible one. His popularity IMHO is just a matter of timing and good usability (which I won't deny), but not is not backed by a good code design and implementation behind.
Drupal or even PHP Nuke was much better designed. I.e: Wp calls every published object post as it was designed as blog for posting.
Almost all CMS provide class oriented architecture, object caching, multilanguage, clean separation between base code, customer code and customer data, safe defaults (like all forms for commenting enabled),...
