Tuesday, December 9, 2025 Ben Werdmuller wrote a new perspective on RSS. It's great, just what we need. RSS is of the web , and is the simplest most obvious way to get all the twitter-like systems connected. # One thing I realized I should point the ActivityPub folks to. I implemented Inbound RSS for WordPress. I was going to request it as a feature from the WordPress community, then realized I could write it fairly quickly with the system I already have built. After all, FeedLand already supports Inbound RSS, that's a lot of what it does, as a feed reader, esp along with the websocket interface it has. I already have complete code for writing to a WordPress site, that's a big part of what WordLand does. WordPress does a fantastic job of outbound RSS, but why not inbound? If Substack, for example, supported inbound, we'd all be using their mail distribution systems, and sharing revenue. Here's the source code , MIT license, so party on , Wa...

Monday, December 8, 2025 BTW, a frequently asked question, where can I get your blogroll list to import into my feed reader? Answer -- here . # I should have demo'd the blogroll stuff at WordCamp Canada. Next time I will show products people can use right now. # Doc always has a link on my home page. That's because I have the best blogroll ever . It's hooked up to a feed reader via a technology called websockets that came along after the heyday of blogging. If you want to see its heart beating, go to scripting.com , in the browser, open the JavaScript console, and watch the updates flow in ( screen shot ). While we weren't watching the web got some really badass new features. # Pluribus is not, at least so far, equal to Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul . Some parts are confusing, some are poorly edited. They try to have a shocker or cliff hanger at the end of episodes, but they aren't very shocking and the cliff turns out to be someth...

Saturday, December 6, 2025 If we really want tech to get back to basics we need pubs that function as product reviewers, like we have entertainment reviewers . There's so much software and so many isolated bubbles of developers, when there's a development that shakes the world less than ChatGPT, I might not hear about it for ten years, or might never hear about it. In the 80s we had lots of pubs that covered all kinds of products at a user level. There were 15 popular word processing apps, for example -- all made a decent living, and remember there were a lot fewer users then. Three spreadsheets on the PC and two on the Mac. It was possible because we had PC Week, MacWEEK, MacUser, MacWorld, PC Mag, PC World, InfoWorld , Dr Dobbs, BYTE, Popular Computing, Creative Computing, and I'm sure I'm leaving some out. Some great writers , and insightful reviews about what it's like to actually use the stuff. I had a product reviewed in the NY Times if yo...

Scripting News: Friday, December 5, 2025

Friday, December 5, 2025 I've come to see WordPress as an API with a widely deployed and stable implementation behind it, where the user is in control and developers can build apps without having to get into the storage-selling business. # When they say AI is just autocomplete on steroids , that's like saying a human is just a product of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur on steroids. It may be true, but it doesn't say anything useful. It's also like saying that a computer is just a collection of on and off switches. # Funny thing about yesterday's Supreme Court decision, if Texas goes ahead with their gerrymandering plan, it probably will backfire on them, cause them to lose a few seats instead of gain them. The news reports generally leave that out, probably figuring the sports fans who can understand the gambling on football and baseball couldn't understand that gerrymandering is a bet that you know which voters...

Thursday, December 4, 2025 Flip switches # In software, I like to have multiple ways to view the same data. In one context it's an outline, then flip a switch and now it's a graphic. # MORE shipped at Living Videotext for the Mac in 1986. You start with an outline and flip a switch to turn it into a tree chart. Flip it back to make a change, then flip it again to see the change in a tree chart. Or flip the outline to reveal a set of presentation slides. People loved the idea that they could create graphics entirely by writing and reorganizing and then flipping a switch. That was the killer feature in the demos we did at trade shows. # Before that in LBBS , a bulletin board system I wrote and ran on an Apple II in my Menlo Park living room in the early 80s, I had two views of the message structure, reverse chronologic and a hierarchic thread structure. You could always flip a switch and see the post you're looking at in the oth...

Wednesday, December 3, 2025 The nightly emails didn't go out last night. It was easy to fix, a server needed to be rebooted. The problems cascaded from there, long story, but in the end I had to move one of my virtual-virtual servers (two levels of virtuality) to another virtual server. Upgrading versions of Node is a tricky process that I have never mastered or understood, and every time it takes almost a full day to do it. Something I hope to someday be able to find the time to sort out. Not today, though -- I have a fun project planned out. Really looking forward to doing the work and seeing the result. # They should make a version of bash on Linux that also accepts ChatGPT commands. As always they is someone other than me. # Linkblog items for the day Don't Overcomplicate the Scandal of Trump's Lawless High Seas Attacks. #amen talkingpointsmemo.com Copyright 1994-2025 Dave Winer.
