That sentence protects against defamation lawsuits.

> People connecting through our VPN have access to an internal-only SMTP gateway machine that doesn't require SMTP authentication.

This part sounds... not great. Even bad actor within org could send messages as someone else: president to payroll etc.

[spogbiper → voytec]

not great indeed. is this organization not under any compliance requirements? unauthenticated SMTP is not going to pass even the laziest of security scans. although neither is VPN access without MFA

Narcissistic personality disorder[0] is unnoticeable for a person having it, but makes lives of all around them a living hell. Such person is always right, and the 99.99% people around with an opposite opinion/viewpoint are idiots. If some "idiot" is standing up, there comes the retaliation part.

Person exhibiting textbook traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder for years goes into mental meltdown, gets sued and loses preliminary injunction. It's only downhill from there.

I just hope it's over quickly and some other ownership model comes into place. WordPress is an impressive & important project, it'd be a shame to lose it because of one lunatic.

Off-topic, but thanks for the neat trick with

It's actually a standard! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Text_fragments It can do a bunch of awesome stuff, but the text= one is the one I use the most

I finally started using it when it landed on Firefox release (although, in true Firefox fashion, they give no fucks about the UX forcing me to install an extension that is "create link to selection")

[Implicated → mdaniel]

I too must thank you for this, I had no idea this existed and likely will be making regular use of it now :)
