Scripting News: Tuesday, September 30, 2025

Tuesday, September 30, 2025 WordLand is not a blogging platform, it builds on a blogging platform. # The stock market is doing really well, still . But a really important part of our workforce is being attacked by the government. I have no idea what's going on among the immigrant workers in the US. Maybe this is something one of the news orgs could look at. But it seems we must already be short on labor to do the things that keep our lives and businesses functioning. If so, why isn't that showing up in the market? # One thing journalism could do for us is sponsor polls to find out how many people are scared about what's coming next and how scared are they? # People are not symbols. # Linkblog items for the day ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day. 404media.co John Palfrey: Listen carefully to what Administration says. palfreylaw.wordpress.com Wikipedia is pretty awful, but...

Monday, September 29, 2025 Please read Stephanie Booth's three-part Rebooting the Blogosphere . She's doing great work organizing the ideas around what can we do better in the new blogosphere. # "It happened so slowly that we didn't notice but Twitter wiped out the idea of the web developer. The platforms we were trying to make work together were programmed so they couldn't work together." I didn't want to let that pass without notice. As the early blogosphere is coming back into focus, and given what we know about the before and after of Twitter, I'd say this was hard to see, I was too close to it, but now having gained some distance, and rebuilding the basics of the blogging with the tools of 2025, it has become clear. The age of the blog ended sometime after 2006 because people moved what they were doing in blogs to Twitter. It wasn't Twitter's fault, if the independent developers had been willing to pool resources to m...

Sunday, September 28, 2025 There should be a Hall of Fame for open software, formats and protocols that have stood the test of time, esp those that have taken a beating from commercializers. Not for the people who did it, that could be a separate thing, so there are no fights about who gets credit for what, but for the thing itself. It would be a way for the industry to say "Hey sorry we didn't accept you at first, and we just want to acknowledge that, after X years of doing something hard, it worked, we're all using it now." To which the open format would say, "Hey thanks for the call out, and let us know if you did something cool with it." # I now have a feed in the new WordPress News site. # The OPML version of this blog, according to archive.org , goes back to Dec 28, 2005 . It appears that it hasn't updated since June 8, 2010 . On further investigation, we do maintain an JSON file for the site, it's just JSONified OP...

Scripting News: Saturday, September 27, 2025

Saturday, September 27, 2025 I'm writing reports about problems with WordLand using WordLand and I'm liking it. That's a good sign btw. And also I think it looks pretty great viewed in WordPress and in Mastodon . # Automattic shipped a new product called Telex that's a ChatGPT for designing blocks in WordPress designs. Blocks are a simple result of design and programming that define the behavior of a part of a WordPress page. Having seen a demo, it looks really useful and is a nice small programming space, where a lot of users could actually control the process, and get something useful quickly. I've gotten pretty adept at teasing images out of ChatGPT, and at some point I'm probably going to need a commerce site, to allocate subdomains for people's feeds in WordLand. Still have to figure out how that works. # Linkblog items for the day "It's not just enough to speak up for one platform, anything that...

Friday, September 26, 2025 I put out a request for WordPress-related blogs on Masto , Bluesky and Twitter this morning. Got enough feeds to start wordpress.feedland.org . If you have a site that should be included, please post the URL in one of those places and I'll add it to the subscription list for the site. # Really Simple potato chips # "The #1 chips for dips!" # Linkblog items for the day Sinclair gets nothing it asked for, puts Jimmy Kimmel back on anyway. arstechnica.com Comey says he's 'standing up to Donald Trump,' while Trump calls for more retribution. kansasreflector.com Nick Hamze's 'Cool Kids' Post Kicks Off Fresh Debate on WordPress's Image Problem. therepository.email Could we make something good from social media? daveverse.org Our power comes from working together. daveverse.org To start to get out of the hole we're in first we have to ge...

Thursday, September 25, 2025 Good morning sports fans! # Today there is a new podcast , this one for members of the WordPress community. I was interviewed by the very capable Nathan Wrigley of WP Tavern. I thought it was a great conversation, we talked about the remarkable position WordPress is in to serve as the OS for a rebooted web. I love the introduction they wrote, I also figured out how to make content management work in the browser, which was the foundation for blogging and eventually WordPress, though it seems that legacy is a bit lost in all the other stuff I've had my fingers in over the years. I hope you listen to this podcast, and if you have questions or comments , here's a good place to post them. # This came up in a thread on Mastodon about "social network" vs "social media." I also think social web should be used sparingly. Because imho there is such a thing as the social web but we haven't developed very much ...

Wednesday, September 24, 2025 There are a lot of developers who think they understand WordPress but they don't. It has a REST api that you can build on. Everything WordPress does. It's the API the browser client is built on. I didn't know it was there until I added WordPress login to FeedLand a couple of years ago. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. What can I do with it? It snuck up on me that it's an API for the web, and it's also the easiest API for ActivityPub. The programming model for the fediverse might be a lot simpler than you think. WordLand is as exciting as any web product I did before, because now, after being asleep for 19 years, the web can now wake up. It really feels that way. # The web has been asleep for 19 years, which is almost as long as Rip Van Winkle was asleep, according the Washington Irving story. # In the future you will be able to chain social networks together. # Yesterday's podcast was with Ma...
