  • Interesting: Some attention from the official #WordPress Meta channel being directed toward #Matrix (an #opensource platform for live chat / communications). “Slack isn’t well suited… an open source project should use an open source chat system?…

  • Don’t normally pull from Mastodon but this is #WordPress history worth sharing. “First meeting in Dec 2005” between @photomatt @mikelittlezed1 (according to Mike first of “only three real world” meets. (h/t to mastodon.org.uk/@rez/109750901…) p…

  • Wow, I failed hard on attempting to install Chromium, Puppeteer, and Browsershot (https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot/v2/usage/creating-images) on my #DigitalOcean server (wanted to take screenshots of tweets on davidbisset.social). Even had to upgrade to #PHP 8.0->8.1 in the process (which i did, although #WordPress and plugins got a little ugly in the logs). I just hate installing things on…

    One of the dullest imports to https://davidbisset.social but still worth it. Custom #WordPress post types. LinkedIn is also crappy about their export. Very little metadata w/ your "shares" or "posts". Only a small part of their universe it seems. I’ve got my LinkedIn posts on my site now. Planning on posting more biz and marketing…

  • With WordCamp Asia coming up I would like to do some old fashion quick live posting but the web interface of #Mastodon can't keep up based on previous experience. Tweetdeck on #Twitter can. A shame. Maybe an interface that posts to both. There used to be a live blog plugin for #WordPress (then in theory…

  • I used #WordPress to upload my #Mastodon posts (and my https://davidbisset.social site syncs with it fine). I cache 50k posts and works great.

  • If you want to hear me or @ShawnHooper pretend we know something related to this and have a topic suggestion, throw it out. Bonus points for relating it to #WordPress of course. twitter.com/TheTorqueMag/s…
