Personally, don't use it at all. Worst social media platform IMO.
The one where Teal'c goes to a performance of the Vagina Dialogs is one of my favorites.
Have you heard of https://meshtastic.org/ ?

So is the out for wpengine that they aren't enforcing it across the board but using it to "extort" a dollar amount that they perceive that they are owed?
True. They have a commission to approve fracking under State parks. It really is just a rubber stamp.
People should realize that what I stated is actually true. Ohio did that.
Just do what Ohio did and declare natural gas green. Problem solved. /s

They really thing WordPress is something special. It really isn't; there are better systems. I think Matt is just mad because he is not getting any revenue from wpengine.

That being said, some commercial users of open-source software need to be better contributors to the eco-system and not just vampires.

Erecting large antennas is not cheap. Up to $20k+ for a small tower (28m) properly done.
