    Manager: "Ok…. THIS time we don't need documentation. It's obvious that users have seen this before and know how to use it." Me: 🤔

    Manager: "We don't need to write documentation. The user will know what to do with these two obviously separate features." 🤔

  • Got someone who's (payment/donation) form on his #WordPress site is failing due to what appears to be an expired nonce. Thought it was a caching issue – the failed submits happen seemingly randomly – but wondering if sessions/cookies are playing a part. Argh.

  • It's funny to some #Mastodon and Bluesky users that say (rightly so) "these are good numbers" with thousands+ new users come to their platforms per week but poo poo Meta with it's 70+ million with #Threads (which I don't have $0.02 on yet). If you don't care about your social network size, then not sure…

    Friend: "I'm about to dive into #JavaScript." Me: 🤔

  • Into #WordPress news? A reminder (especially if you are hopping between social networks) that http://wpfront.page exists and for the #RSS geeks here's the direct feed: https://wpfront.page/rss

  • Mastodon: Join us it's not hard. Also Mastodon: Here's six links on how to pick a server, find friends, follow people, getting started & how you should act. That being said,I heard a good analogy from @davatron5000 on Shop Talk Show podcast: "#Mastodon is like a HOA (home owner's association) – you moved in and…

  • Tweetdeck behind a pay wall in 30 days was pretty much my "that's it" point with #Twitter. Thankful I created https://davidbisset.social to suck in all my social posts. I’m not likely shutting down my account but yeah, outside of twitter in a browser tab maybe to keep an eye on my #WordPress list I think…

  • Nice to see a few new faces here on #Mastodon. Also seeing faces and more follows on #Bluesky too. It's not THE #TwitterMigration but it's def. one!

  • RIP #Tweetdeck. One of the best first UI for any social network I've used.

  • Looks like some Twitter folks trying #Mastodon and #Bluesky this weekend. Seeing more numbers on Bluesky and some more people I recognize there appear (still invite only). And looks like Bluesky performance issues have cleared up (all day yesterday was very slow but running like butter now, although it's 6am ET).

    I don't normally talk #Twitter here (especially policies) but the last few days have been mind blowing. And I know posting this on Mastodon is like giving pure sugar to addicts but what the heck. Enjoying Bluesky though.

  • Good read. "Decentralization isn't enough. It's about people." via @ben https://werd.io/2023/decentralization-isnt-enough-its-about-people "Decentralized protocols are infrastructure in the same way that servers are infrastructure. Nobody cares if a traditional social network is built on AWS or Google Cloud. What they care about is the community: can they follow people they’re interested in, can they engage in…

  • https://www.open-resume.com/ is an "#opensource #resume builder". No sign up is required and data is stored locally in browser. I don't need this (at least right now) but always interested to see as a #developer how these things are built. #TypeScript

  • In reply to @davidbisset. There is a hint of truth and logic to most of these but even if you have a good message snobby delivery and insults remind me of tech nerd wars in the 90s. Mastodon is my top social network. But it (and the Fediverse) is nowhere near perfect. Just different. Twitter…

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Mastodon is best BUT: I've seen first hand Mastodon influencers (or whatever the term) have given the platform a snobby attitude. I've seen this over the years: 1. Early 2019: toward newbies (part of the reason I didn't stick around).2. 2022 #TwitterMigration: against those not completely abandoning Twitter or ones who…

  • Not surprised the reaction to @gruber piece (actually more quoting Bloonface if anything) on #Mastodon growth (or lack of it) to be defensive, hostile, and rude. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/06/23/bloonface-twitter-migration John and Bloonface (who's article I suggest you read) ideas all don't set completely ok with me. But much of the jist is worthy to consider. And this…

    "Blocknotes App Runs #WordPress Natively on iOS, Now in Public Beta" https://wptavern.com/blocknotes-app-runs-wordpress-natively-on-ios-now-in-public-beta Me: I've been lightly testing this on my iPhone and tempted to do a thoughts and walk through video

  • Meantime, here's “A WordCamper's Guide To Asking Questions At Conferences”. I heard some things about the #WCEU keynote from over the weekend. Also covers tips for organizers. #WordPress https://davidbisset.com/a-wordcampers-guide-to-asking-questions-at-conferences/

  • Thinking about writing some tips for WordCamp and conference organizers focused on PR (public relations). Inspired by (kinda) "recent events" in the #WordPress space (and my point of view of being involved with WordCamp Miami for over a decade). Not sure if it's going to be popular with all because a lot boils down to:…
