Het afstaan van je data zou altijd ‘opt -in’ moeten zijn! Politici in Den Haag en Brussel moeten hiervoor blijven knokken. Helaas is het niet zover en heb je als #LinkedIn gebruiker nog 1 dag om bezwaar te maken tegen het gebruik van je data voor Ai training. Lees hier 👉🏻 tweakers.net/nieuws/24098...

#WPAD2025 Spotlight: @tacoverdo.com Accessibility isn’t optional anymore — new laws are coming! The web isn’t usable by everyone, and that’s a problem we need to fix now. Listen to what Taco has to say: youtube.com/shorts/KgPrt...

Bij #RTLdebat zegt Rob Jetten dat de zorgpremie bij GroenLinks-PvdA zo hard omhoog gaat. Hoe zit het echt? De zorgpremie voor mensen thuis gaat bij ons van €150 naar €50 per maand.

In het #RTLdebat over de hypotheekrenteaftrek begint Yeşilgöz opnieuw over de portemonnee van de middenklasse. Ze vergeet er helaas bij te vermelden dat de middenklasse er bij GL-PvdA veel meer op vooruit gaat dan bij VVD...

De verkiezingen gaan over de oplossingen voor Nederland. Doorbreken we de stilstand of gaan we vooruit? Als Geert Wilders kiest om 1 miljoen mensen uit te sluiten, mag dat nooit normaal worden. Daarom staan wij op. Samen bouwen we aan echte oplossingen en samen gaan we vooruit.

I had a fun conversation with Gautam of Seahawk Media on the #WPLegends podcast. We discussed my WP story, @yoast.com, @wordpress.org, @progressplanner.com, #AI, and more. Curious? Go check it out on YouTube!

Yesterday, version 6.8 of #WordPress was released. This is (probably) the last major release of this year. And with a longer timeline, we now have time to regroup and reimagine what WordPress Core should be. For sure, it needs to be AI ready, @joost.blog says in progressplanner.com/wordpress-ne....

Join us LIVE for the 'This Week in #WordPress' show. It's fun, and we'd love your comments! It starts in a few minutes at wpbuilds.com/live! Live on stage today: Nathan Wrigley, Taco Verdonschot, Piccia Neri, Corey Maass (@tacoverdo.com @piccianeri.com @coreymaass.bsky.social @wpbuilds.com). #TWiW

If 50% of your support interactions are awesome, and 50% are terrible, you don’t have “average / mediocre / OK support.” You have bad support. Customers will leave; reviews will be bad. Consistency is also important. Consistently 70% is far better than the above.

I'm a big fan of @yoast.com, that's not a secret. But did you know that its users oftentimes forget important settings? @progressplanner.com will now help #YoastSEO users get those right, and they'll earn points and badges doing so! Check out v1.2 at progressplanner.com/progress-pla...!

Do you have knowledge and skills related to #accessibility (on the web) you'd be able and willing to share? Please don't hesitate and apply as a speaker for WordPress Accessibility Day! #WPAD #WPAD2025

Less than two weeks before #WCAsia, Matt banned my colleague @joost.blog from the event, and @progressplanner.com, from sponsoring it. I hoped it would pass, until we had a call last week. Nothing is going to change. So here I am, breaking the silence. progressplanner.com/real-impact-...

I'm going to be in Portland, Oregon for the next few days (staying near Doc Marie's). Anyone know of anything fun for this transbian to hit up Wednesday evening / night?

To bring youth to #WordPress, we'll need to speak their language, Marieke van de Rakt says in her latest 'Progress for WordPress' blog post at @progressplanner.com. Sounds like I need to start listening to my kids's vocabulary more... You can find her post at progressplanner.com/gen-z-market...

Anyone else notices that the lingscars.com got a makeover? Why did they finally succumb to 'good sense' when the previous iterations held such appeal? I'm sad 😔

We study the companies that succeeded, but what about all those that didn't? Could their stories be where the real gold lies? Especially since an outlier often tells you nothing at all?
