<p><a href="https://amausaan.tokyo/author/chikorita157/" rel="ugc">@chikorita157@amausaan.tokyo</a> <br><br>This whole thing started brewing a long bit ago. Every CEO who admires Musk or is in user-generated content were "reminded" by Musk that the business models they had chosen allowed (gasp!) other people to make money too, and through Olympic mental gymnastics, that somehow that is some kind of inherent theft. How dare you let all that "value" escape?<br><br>That is part where Mullenweg's brazen, rage fueled tactics are coming from, I think. I do believe his brainworms are telling him on some level he's in the right, and that he believes is entitled to the 'value' generated by wordpress and its users, even though a lot the value of the brand has been generated by the networking effects of those other businesses.</p>

WordPress dot Com is not WordPress, a Rebuttal to Matt’s Pointless and Dangerous War on WP Engine

I have been losing trust in Automattic and especially Matt Mullenweg for a while now. Matt has shown his true colors by being a mob boss and trying to bully and extort WP Engine, a managed WordPress host, and WordPress theme and plugin developers. This feud that started with a disagreement between the two parties …

Another Project – A Power Macintosh 9600 that Needs A Lot of TLC

For a while now, I have been looking for a Power Macintosh 9600, one of Apple’s last Beige high-end Power Macintosh. That was before Steve Jobs came back to Apple. Unlike the Beige Power Macintosh G3, which only had three PCI slots and three memory slots, the 9600 had six PCI slots and 12 memory …

A Macintosh That Doesn’t Look Like a Mac? – The Macintosh Clone Project – Part I

While searching for the holy grail Power Macintosh, known as the Power Macintosh 9600, I found a Mac Clone listing in the trading section of the 68kmla. Since these clones are rare, they go for crazy prices on eBay. With that, I decided to buy it. But you might be wondering, Macintosh Clone? What are …

Rabbit Hole Computing Hard Card Impressions – The Easiest to Flash SATA/M.2 SATA PCI Card to Make it Mac OS 9 or Earlier Bootable

With SATA PCI cards like the Seritek cards and the two-port Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI card being rare and often expensive, what other solutions exist? Sure, the pre-flashed SATA cards are bootable from China using Mac OS 9, but those just don’t work. I found one and found that it won’t boot my existing SSD …

“CrackGate” Strikes My Vision Pro, but Now Replaced

It’s been a while since I got the replacement Apple Vision Pro, and it has been going fine. Of course, most of what I use now is to watch stuff on it since it gives the best viewing experience for Anime. I haven’t used the projector for months, which, of course, uses more energy. While …

The Power Macintosh 8100 Project – Part II – Upgrades

The second and final part of the Power Macintosh 8100 Project is upgrading to make it a relatively fast 8100. It won’t be the ultimate as it doesn’t have the fastest G3 or, let alone, a G4 accelerator, which exist but are rare. I eventually settled on a PowerPC G3 accelerator from Newer Tech. Believe …

The Power Macintosh 8100 Project – Part I – Initial Setup

As mentioned last week, I finally decided to pick up a Power Macintosh 8100, which is in pretty good shape given its age. While I have a Power Mac G4 Mirror Door Drive, the fastest G4 that can run Mac OS 9, which has the holy grail of video cards, is the Nvidia Geforce 4 …

The Power Macintosh 8100 Project

It has been a while since I did another project involving vintage Macs. In 2021, I got a Power Mac G4 Mirror Door and added a bunch of upgrades, including a SATA adapter with SSDs, memory, USB, and a Geforce 4 Ti 4600 video card. It’s the fastest PowerPC Mac running Classic Mac OS 9 …

Thoughts on The Potential TikTok Ban, We Should have Privacy Regulations Instead

    I admit that I’m not a big fan of TikTok. I hate it, given the adverse effects on society in terms of mental health and that it encourages young people to do things that can get them into trouble or self-harm along with concerns of brain rot due to the addictive nature of …

AIVoice 2 – An Improved Japanese TTS Program to Check Out?

Surprisingly, without me knowing, there is now a new version of AIVoice called AIVoice 2. The previous version of AIVoice is just an updated version of Voiceroid 2, which allows for expressiveness. However, I felt that AIVoice TTS quality sounds a bit rough compared to TTS software from other TTS software for Japanese like Cevio …
