  • A reminder that if you're gone from X/Twitter but still want to keep a pulse on #WordPress stuff being shared there and others then visit (or RSS subscribe) to: https://wpfront.page Curated news, podcasts, acquisition announcements, etc. Avoids marketing posts for the most part.

    What if you're 28?

  • Hard not to iive in Florida in the 80s and NOT hear Jimmy Buffett's music in malls, restaurants, radio, your dreams, etc. Might have a cheeseburger tonight.

  • Interesting "Youtube-to-Webpage" #Perl script: Create a webpage from a #Youtube video with a transcript generated from the video's closed captions paired with screenshots of the video. https://github.com/obra/Youtube2Webpage

    It not even September yet and i'm going to need therapy because of this #hurricane season. This could be nothing, could change, odds could be a million to one (this morning's hype and clickbait on social doesn't help). But tell that to my anxiety. Also this doesn't take anything away from the REAL danger happening…

  • "You are not building a website. No, you're not. You are actually extending a tool building on top of #WordPress to empower someone else to create a website." @aurooba at #WordCampUS #WCUS

  • President Obama's website used #Drupal. #Drupal is a "good open source gateway drug" (the site eventually got to be on #WordPress) #WordCampUS #WCUS

    President Clinton and Bush's websites. #WCUS

  • "The ethos of WordPress is for everyone, we need our CMS to be for everyone. But that doesn't happen automatically. It doesn't happen just by installing #WordPress." Abby Bowman #WCUS #WordCampUS

  • "We're doing this for the benefit of humanity. And this was really important for us to make sure that we had our website as ACCESSIBLE as possible to everyone across the world." #WordCampUS #WCUS #WordPress

  • "…it became clear to us that Gutenberg would be a perfect fit for this. In the design system, there's a concept of components and modules, that lended itself to blocks in the Gutenberg Editor." J.J. Toothman @WordCampUS #WCUS #WordPress

  • Going to be watching the #WordCamp US livestream today and tomorrow. So if you aren't into #WordPress or too many posts in your stream feel free to mute me. Livestream and schedule for #WCUS is here: https://us.wordcamp.org/2023/livestream/

  • As someone who watched Star Trek: The Next Generation as a kid, I thought Season 3 of Picard (although not perfect) was VERY well done. Obviously fan fare but it checked almost all the boxes. Can't say more without spoilers. #StarTrekPicard #StarTrek 🖖🏻

  • Sigh. CNET hasn't been on my "fav" site list for a LONG LONG time but still. "CNET is deleting old articles to try to improve its Google Search ranking" https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/9/23826342/cnet-content-pruning-deleting-articles-google-seo

    Customer: "Just code it. We don't know anything about modern UI and style but we will design this app ourselves anyway." Me: 🤔

  • Today agree here with @hbuchel that more websites are preventing us from doing "normal web things". I was on a blog the other day and wouldn't let me copy/paste the title. 🤔 https://heather-buchel.com/blog/2023/07/just-normal-web-things/ "In the end, it's usually because we've JavaScript'ed our way out of these things."

  • The #WordCamp US schedule for August 25/26 now available: https://us.wordcamp.org/2023/schedule/ Sad I won't be able to make it and see my fellow #WordPress buddies. It's literally happening on the first week of school for us in Florida (I have two kids going into high school and my wife – still recovering – going back to…

  • In reply to @davidbisset. "So small in fact that in the end it's not even the original product… We just want to make it appear we still are in the market."

  • #Tailwind and the death of web craftsmanship https://pdx.su/blog/2023-07-26-tailwind-and-the-death-of-craftsmanship/ "…it reduces your HTML to a gigantic pile of near-gibberish #CSS classes." Still digesting, but i'm not a Tailwind user. I'm not violent against it but i've been working with CSS since it's invention.

    "What does it look like when a #developer is limited on time but tries to get a grasp on all the latest frameworks?" Me: 🤔 #javascript #pelican #pelican't

  • I have a backup UPS on my Mac Studio. NS 1500M2 via USB. Trying to see how my mac can send me an email (assuming power goes down but internet still up) when UPS is switched on. So far, I've found this: https://www.dssw.co.uk/powermanager/ Low price, might try it out. Looks powerful if you want to…

    Customer: "We want to build a multi-purpose product and we don't care at all about user privacy." Me: 🤔

  • "If we don't start slowing down and marking the trail for developers, we will begin haemorrhaging the very people who make #WordPress a success." “…slow down Gutenberg enough that deprecations AND THEIR CORRECTIONS are properly documented." @ipstenu https://halfelf.org/2023/interlude-gutenberg-moves-fast/

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Not saying you couldn't come up with something unique but most of the market right now doesn't contain a lot of stand out products.
