Marx can't log in??

@Meyerweb They forgot "I am not a crook."

@Meyerweb I figured the whole thing was a joke, but just for kicks I looked at the actually login form...and they really did add the part about WP Engine?!?!? 🤦

@Meyerweb the wp engine part being real nearly killed me from laughter

@Meyerweb wait holy shit the first one is real

@Meyerweb

men exhaust me lol

@Meyerweb

lol, brilliant send-up!

@Meyerweb
[ ] And anyway, forgive me.

@Meyerweb I can’t believe that how I learn they did this. This is bonkers.

@Meyerweb
oooh that has huge hints of Stuart Semple's Black! (of which I have some Black 1 and Black 2.)

@Meyerweb Glad I wasn't the only one who thought this

@Meyerweb 🤣

Need a CAPTCHA checkbox.

@Meyerweb LOL, I thought you were kidding but that WP Engine reference does exist on the actual login page. This is childish, idiotic, insulting, hateful, and classic gatekeeping.

I get that there's a branding / license issue going on but .org is a GPL licensed project and should be treated with some respect.

@Meyerweb for those like me who want to know what this is about https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/08/wordpress-vs-wp-engine-drama-explained/

@Meyerweb @aardrian I love the closing, slightly desperate, slightly cheerful "remember me" checkbox

@Meyerweb This is excellent, and then you apologizing for it on every comment is also excellent

@Meyerweb Vantapress, I would pay for

@Meyerweb That last “Remember Me” is just creepy feeling.

@Meyerweb I read "Remember Me" in Mad Max Fury Road way

@Meyerweb This is poetry. Like you could post this next to the Ozymandias Sonnet and it would hold up

@Meyerweb the worst bit is when you realise that one of these is on the actual site!

@Meyerweb Feel like this is a @NanoRaptor post

@Meyerweb gotta log in and use a fun pink and black colour scheme to really get Kapoor

@Meyerweb Every time I see something about the WP drama I am reminded of those OSS PHP people who ranted at me about how Mullenweg was "one of the few good ones" etc years ago

@Meyerweb
Really bringing the small dick energy.

@Meyerweb Communist Party? Which one?

@Meyerweb

@Meyerweb @platypus BRB, repainting all my Red websites in Black 3.0

@Meyerweb Okay, now I can't ignore the storm anymore. What the hell have they (WP) done this time, time to look up what happened recently. 🫣

@Meyerweb AHAHAHAHAHA I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought of the whole Anish Kapoor thing with that checkbox.

@Meyerweb what is it with these egotistical ceos getting all snarky all of a sudden. must be something in the ketamine micro dosing

@Meyerweb I like how when you put, "Remember me," after all that it sounds like a last breath demand for revenge.

@Meyerweb

One explanation I can imagine for this is that #MattMullenweg’s penis might be, like, rice-grain sized, infuriating him with embarrassment. Or maybe he started doing loads of ketamine with Leon?

@Meyerweb@mastodon.social

They forgot the "witness me" box

@Meyerweb .... the communist party?

@Meyerweb
⬜ I am not a terrorist
