Still waiting for the day for AI tools to be more useful than a Google search

Won’t be able to make it to #wcasia this year :(

Have been in hospital w/ Guillain-BarrΓ© syndrome for 3 weeks with probably another 2 or so go before I can walk again (with a frame initially!)

Full recovery expected, just learning to walk all over again..

A still from the film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" where an unnamed character, who is played by James Franco, is standing on the gallows awaiting his execution through hanging. Franco asks a fellow prisoner, a crying man also on the gallows, "first time?"

Modern world is so great. But also, do I really need to get THIRTEEN emails, 4 SMS and 4 Push notifications from 4 different platforms about coffee/dog food/etc subscriptions? Just non stop.

Packs are a great way to follow a bunch of random people and spend weeks slowly unfollowing 🫠

Deeply miss old twitter. I love that in those early years there were meetups of like 20-50 people and that was a majority of users for like all of Sydney. We all knew each other. Now twitter is just like a train station, full of crazies

Feels like this one could change now - you’d hope! A good trusted package management system makes sense

Agree on clarity for hosts (a point in the article!)

I had to fire back up my old .com account from 2006 this week. The latest default theme in white and no UI is about as minimalist as I can get πŸ˜‚

Matt is WordPress The discourse surrounding Matt Mullenweg’s leadership in WordPress reveals a divided community, with calls for either increased democratic governance or recognition of Mullenweg’s pivot…

My take on the #wpdrama and the idea of replacing @ma.tt are not in WordPress’ overall best interest. Maybe some more clarity and people can come to peace with the status quo..

It did reenforce to me just how far ahead WordPress is in market as the leading open source CMS and how fortunate we are to push WordPress to new limits over and over again at TCC

Just got back from Singapore for DrupalCon Asia. Not because I've given up on #WordPress but I genuinely wanted to learn a bit more about how that project is going and whats ahead.

That’s how they added more boarding gates etc. just extended the main terminal to these marquees, pretty wild

Sunshine Coast airport is the only airport in living memory where the boarding terminal is (may as well be) and un air conditioned tent in the middle of QLD summer. Such a dump!

I think @austraveldaily.bsky.social has just done most of this itinerary if I’m been following correctly!
