    What I assume the commenter meant is that Beeper was bought by Automattic, which also owns Wordpress and whose CEO is Matt Mullenweg. Recently Mullenweg has been on a vendetta against WPEngine from benefiting from Wordpress, and basically sabotaging Wordpress to spite WPEngine. This article details the beef.

    That being said, I use Beeper (and Pocket Casts, also owned by Automattic) and enjoy them a bunch. I haven’t noticed any issues since April, and the whole Wordpress vs. WPEngine seems to not affect Beeper.




  • Turns out hiring a cab for your pizza is expensive, who would have thought. Personally when ordering out, I always choose pickup, and fortunately can bike to most places to pick it up. If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.

    The alternative isn’t an open platform, but maybe prioritizing 10 minute city in urban environments where you don’t need a car to get/deliver everything you need
