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

  • 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. πŸ€” 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."

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.

  • 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…

  • "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." β€œ…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.

    Client: "Is it THAT obvious we don't take #accessibility seriously?" Me: πŸ€”

    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: πŸ€”

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

  • 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: πŸ€”

  • 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…
