Melbourne cosmetics entrepreneur Briony Kennedy has faced bankruptcy after her $6 million sustainable skincare company Adorn Cosmetics collapsed following a failed website migration to Adobe's e-commerce platform. Adobe has declined to comment on the case for legal reasons.

Plugin Check 2.2.0 is out 🚀
The big one: .pcpignore. You can now exclude folders like vendor or tests from the scan and run Plugin Check in your CI without false positives.

‼️ Apps built with the AI app-maker Lovable left passport numbers, payment information and 200,000 chat messages open to anyone, no login needed.
German security firm Crissy Field scanned 159,041 Lovable projects and found databases with email addresses readable on 7,403 sites.
Lovable promises no coding skills are needed. Its terms make customers responsible for their apps and data.
Lovable told German business daily Handelsblatt the problem is industry-wide.

Setting up WordPress on most any host: click a button.
Setting up @EmDashCMS on the same box: npm create, Git repo, SSR mode, Node 22, encryption key, SITE_URL, workerd if you want the sandbox, then remember to back up the SQLite file yourself. *IF* your hosting even permits you to do that kind of thing.
Just sayin'.

Whatever you think of the @automattic and @photomatt current situation. Try to remember that Matt and @mikelittlezed1 built something we all use for free, to make money. I know it's hard for some, but also try and remember Matt is a mere human and is probably feeling pretty down - some of the things being said in slack groups and elsewhere are downright cruel. Be kinder.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
