Could be. Stopping working for the system, with massive strikes. There is nothing they fear more. But they will exercise violence first, have no doubt. They are the lords and masters of violence. With violence they have the upper hand. A difficult situation to manage.

This approach of blaming renewables is the typical one that the press is spreading, without clarifying ALL the aspects that make some renewable energy generation facilities inflexible.
Antonio Turiel explains very well what has happened and, in fact, some time before the blackout, in view of important alterations in frequency and voltage, he had already warned that this could happen.
In the new installations, according to the new regulations, photovoltaic plants must have systems to have a reaction margin in case of fluctuations. But in older plants this was not mandatory and, in order to give flexibility to the system, as has been commented here, it is necessary to have a reserve of other generation sources.
At the time of the blackout, there were many photovoltaic plants without response capacity and the necessary plants, especially gas plants, were not prepared to respond to the disturbance.
This was a combination of greed and incompetence. Greed for wanting to save money by disconnecting gas plants or for not updating the technology in photovoltaic plants. Incompetence on the part of government and regulators to put in place the necessary means to force corporations to take the necessary measures to avoid what has happened.
How about doing a little DIY, removing the 16-pin connector and crimping two 8-pin connectors? Or, perhaps, connect a 16 to 8 pin adapter.
The motherboard can be cleaned with a generous amount of isopropyl alcohol. It cleans slightly corroded areas, displaces water, is not a good conductor of electricity and evaporates easily.
I think the real problem is that Automattic did not plan for another company to get this volume of customers using WordPress, creating a burden on WordPress servers that is not compensated for.
What they should have done is set limits or payment plans above a certain volume of connections or transfers from a person's or company's servers.
The problem is to act in this way, suddenly, apparently without foresight and that the possible problems will have to be borne mainly by WP Engine users.
Yes, but I guess what is limited is access to those resources from a site running on WP Engine servers. I also assume that users can download the themes from outside WP Engine and install them anyway.
The Subversion repositories with the code are also public. Anyone can use them. There is no restriction of freedom by restricting access to such a repository, if the code is still publicly available.
This way WP Engine still has the opportunity to mount its plugin and theme repositories, without taking abusive advantage of the WordPress repository infrastructure.
There is work, energy consumption and so on behind it. Expenses that WP Engine is not taking on and does not even want to compensate for.
Automattic's reaction may seem like overkill, but it's a clear and forceful wake-up call to companies that are out to parasite their work and infrastructure. They do it because they have a privileged position. I think they are right to do so.
This does not mean that somebody could criticize a possible lack of consistency when Automattic is the company that adopts abusive attitudes towards third parties.
I'm not clear, has access to the code been denied or only access to other types of resources hosted on WordPress servers?
Yes, it exists, still has a monarchy and practices forms of neo-colonialist corporatist oppression, both in its former colonies and in the territories within its borders.
Next to them is Portugal, which also did its own. What about Holland, Belgium or Germany, with smaller empires but ruled with special brutality?
Lo mismo hemos podido llegar a pensar algunos hispanohablantes acerca de nuestra experiencia como alumnos de lenguas extranjeras, incluyendo el inglés.
Primero se debería de mejorar el nivel hablado, a base de conversaciones que partan de situaciones cotidianas. Después ir mejorándolo e introduciendo la enseñanza del idioma escrito, con sus normas.
Pero no, pretenden que aprendamos todo simultáneamente, aún encima dejando de lado la conversación.
There's an interesting Peertube channel where you can find videos about Minetest mods:
The choices of developers or the corporations that enslave developers? It's not the same.
