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.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Selling one's likeness for a mere $500 and having it talk about its sexual preferences while hawking fiber supplements is like a sad plot device that I would expect from a good science fiction novel. But it's real, via @sapna.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/08/17/b...

This was so disorienting 😵‍💫 It was if Chris Cornell had been teleported to the 40s and we were going to the mattresses open.spotify.com/track/7c9UV6...

Have you ever noticed that the price paid for the sunglasses is inversely correlated with the length of ownership? or is that just me?

What a life.

Hey look! It's @telizarose.bsky.social on "Women in WordPress" from @poststatus.com with the one and only @michellefrechette.bsky.social 🤩😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_os...

EU OS is a project worth keeping an eye on. The future of secure platforms is inevitably going to be open source software, whether it's your desktop OS, your browser, your website's CMS, etc. And not JUST for the public sector. eu-os.gitlab.io

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Not me weeping in my kitchen listening to the latest episode of Twenty Thousand Hertz 😭😭😭 www.20k.org/episodes/the... @20k.bsky.social

I'm not going to ask how the f..k this got out, but I, for one, would not like to FA with the hacker trans community. Authority: friend of dozens of elite trans #infosec allies.

"Hey. You're gonna say that device down and pay attention to me, right?"

I was always curious about how to make a Molotov cocktail. Who knew that the knowledge would come to me via my favorite cybersecurity podcast?!🤣 First: a portable dog killer Now: Molotov cocktails What is Steve Gibson really trying to train us to do? /s Hi @leolaporte.me

How should we "label" machine-generated speech? This reminds me of the requirement that electric cars make sounds or even Harley-Davidson's efforts to add sound to electric motorcycles. Seems like a good episode idea for @20k.bsky.social www.schneier.com/blog/archive...

That moment when colleagues who have only known you since you grew "the beard" notice the pre-beard pic still lingering on your Github profile 😳

AI- generated profiles were inevitable. As were AI-generated "influencers." The question is, why is Meta compelled to create their own?

Shout out to all the neurodivergents, heading into a week of over stimulation, no routine, sky high expectations, and non optional socialising. I see you.

These 2 Florida residents will track down any heat source this time of year 🤣

I've always heard it was Groucho Marx that said "I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member" And yet: * This is a phenomenal group of people * Only one of them actually consented to my inclusion 🤣 Thanks for building such a great list of WordPress people, @shawnhooper.ca!

As much as I despise the thing where every social network is just full of screenshots of the other ones...

I want to be so many things all at the same time

The team at Patchstack really impresses me. In October, #WordPress security took a nice leap forward because of their bug bounty program. patchstack.com/articles/nea...

Holly is unbothered and thinks we could all benefit from just stopping to enjoy the breeze.
