@aral I think you mean https://applause.dev ;)

@aral The original developer at least addressed it, though it’s all still very light on details. https://surteesstudios.com/a-new-chapter/

@aral I use Bartender, but Ice looks cool. I’ll check it out.

Stephen King quit Twitter! He’s on Threads. Someone needs to convince him to turn on Fediverse sharing.

@rysiek @RaleighStraight @EndlessMason @cwebber Movable Type is a completely different blogging engine. It’s what Friendster is written in.

@derek @futurebird Here’s her website: https://www.leahstokes.com/

Click on Menu, then CV. Her email address is listed there.

@rysiek @EndlessMason @cwebber It’s all WordPress under the hood.

@RaleighStraight @rysiek @EndlessMason @cwebber I did that once and only got a single character press.

My son: “So, Disney is looking for a new CEO, and Andrew Wilson is on their list.”

Me: “Who’s that?”

Him: “The CEO of EA. The enshittification company would be hiring the enshittification CEO.”

I’m proud of the kid we’ve raised!

@thomasfuchs I’m genuinely curious how the Blockchain Capital investment will pan out in Bluesky. As leaders in the Series A, wouldn’t that give them a lot of influence over the product? It makes me a bit skittish about spending any energy over there.

Welp. I guess Bluesky won. It looks like a lot of the PHP community went there instead of here. I wonder what will happen to that network when its crypto VCs try to get a return on their investment?

@ipstenu @Flyingmana Stellar way to lose customers by posting this from an account that says “CEO” and the name of his company.

He probably doesn’t see the irony in his post when he says he “thought the WP community was about inclusivity.” Umm. Yes. They are. That is why they are hosting a Pride Party (probably in addition to whatever other parties they might have).

@molly0xfff Imagine being that person’s attorney and writing that line.

Someone please build a Fediverse-enabled Meetup.com-style application for groups to post events that others can RSVP to.

@darnell BTW, the idea of an “alpha wolf” or “alpha male” has been thoroughly debunked. Donald Trump isn’t an alpha anything. He’s just an asshole.

@futurebird @mogul I like to think it’s done on purpose as a joke, but who knows these days?

@chris @skc Why would you need to fork all of those? Couldn’t you support compatibility with the WP plugin/theme API?

@chris Eh 🤷♂️

Maybe it’s time for the community to fork #WordPress.

@anildash I’m curious about this, too.

I’m a long-time 1Password user, and we’ll probably stick with it, since my wife is on Windows, and we share vaults, but if Apple opened this thing up to anyone with an iCloud account (as well as a Windows app for it), I might switch.
