How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?
Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?
After @bevangelist told me about @mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.
I've unfollowed a lot of people who kept putting it on my feed so it's a bit less of a problem now but man I really wish more people would tag their furry TF art or something so that I can properly filter it out instead of blindly throwing darts at random keywords
I care very much about being blocked/abandoned/whatever by people and it might be hurting me. lots of wildly inconsistent opinions in an attempt to be accepted to the point where I just make everyone mad. not fun
the early gen Z sonic fan experience is pulling up youtube and watching crusty 15 FPS videos of sonic adventure DX modded so that sonic looks like someone's OC while a remix of His World plays in the background
