Not as drastic as the headline makes it out to be, or at least so they claim.
“We acquired Tumblr to benefit from its differences and strengths, not to water it down. We love Tumblr’s streamlined posting experience and its current product direction,” the post explained. “We’re not changing that. We’re talking about running Tumblr’s backend on WordPress. You won’t even notice a difference from the outside,” it noted.
We’ll see how that actually works out. Tumblr’s backend has always seemed rather… makeshift, so I’m curious to see how they manage to do that. Given Tumblr’s technical eccentricities, a backend migration could probably do a lot of good for the functionality of the site, if done properly. I have my doubts that WordPress’ engineers will be given the time and resources to do a full overhaul/refactor though, so I’m fully expecting even more janky, barely functional code stapling the two systems together.
Ah, right, the joys of Brexit…
That has to be a GDPR violation, right?

Is the 4x10 really worth the extra day off? Tbh I’m not sure it would work very well for me… I find just one 10-hour day to be kinda draining, so doing that 4 times a week every week feels like it might just cancel out any benefits of the extra day off.
Don’t most indemnity clauses have exceptions for gross negligence? Pushing out an update this destructive without it getting caught by any quality control checks sure seems grossly negligent.
Reading into the updates some more… I’m starting to think this might just destroy CloudStrike as a company altogether. Between the mountain of lawsuits almost certainly incoming and the total destruction of any public trust in the company, I don’t see how they survive this. Just absolutely catastrophic on all fronts.
Huh. I guess this explains why the monitor outside of my flight gate tonight started BSoD looping. And may also explain why my flight was delayed by an additional hour and a half…
I mean, technically, but it has absolutely nothing in it.
Much appreciated, thank you.
Not really a logo edit, but we have so little activity here and it reasonably fits the spirit, so I’ll allow it.
Although, would you mind editing the title to something more directly related to the post? Generic titles can get repetitive and are also harder to search on.
“Loco” is Spanish for “crazy,” which is used here to form a pun with “locomotive,” a term for a train.
I mean I guess it’s a little bit of that, but it’s also kinda self-deprecating at the same time, seemingly self-aware that his own belief in Bigfoot is a little unhinged. To me at least, it comes off as much more lighthearted than the “I’m with stupid people” shirt.
It’s honestly incredible that Bing even still exists, much less is still being actively being pushed by M$
Good to see they’re branching out with their business model. Can’t just commit to a single strategy these days. Sometimes it helps to rebase your priorities to avoid creating new issues.
Ok, bad jokes aside, how did it taste?

Not as familiar with WordPress, but if that’s the case, yeah, I don’t have high hopes for this going well…
