Rebecca has articulated this incredibly well and I also enjoyed Jatan’s addendum. There seems to be no longer a space for thoughtfulness, for true comprehension in the public online space. We’re all too happy to mock, to ridicule, to attack, to insult and in the process, we’...

It's a no-blogging Wednesday, will return tomorrow.

Vincent Ritter: Silence. I wasn’t sure that Vincent would blog something, but I’m glad he did. Personal blogs can help us connect with people, walk a little bit in their shoes, even if we don’t always agree on everything.

I’ve now read Adam Newbold’s post Accountability and I will reply tomorrow. I still have him muted but I’ve caught up on most of his posts and boosts. Thanks for your patience. I’ve been doing this a long time, hopefully one more day won’t kill the platform that I’ve dedicated my career to.

On Wednesday, Rupert Murdoch’s British media group agreed to pay “substantial damages” and apologized to Prince Harry as part of a settlement agreement over claims that the paper illegally intruded into the prince’s life. Harry is one of many celebrities and politicians who have sued Murdoch’s papers for illegally obtaining private information – the claims stretch back to 2011, when it was first revealed that journalists at the tabloids might be hacking phones. 

Martine speaks with democracy reporter Sarah Ellison about why Prince Harry finally decided to settle and what this outcome means for the Murdochs. 

Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson, with help from Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sam Bair.

You know those big illustrated boards with holes in? You poke your face through and you have the body of a cartoon wizard or something, and someone takes a photo. You get them at the seaside and tourist destinations. They don’t appear to have an official name. Though Wikiped...

Worked mostly behind the scenes today, a lot in email. I’m planning a couple new posts for tomorrow. If I post them now I’ll never get a break. 🙂 Also some private messages of support. There are people who think our mission here is valuable but they don’t want to get caught up in a public debate. ❤️

Congrats to Daniel Supernault on the Kickstarter! It’s great timing for Pixelfed and I expect it’s going to well exceed its goal.

To take a break from the 4000 client projects I’m coding all at once I just spent a few minutes reading through some good old internet drama that I’m not going to link here because it’s not worth sharing (even though I admit I had quite a blast going through it). I try to st...

Nabeel Hyatt is looking for the “Japanese toilets” of AI—products that delight users in unexpected ways. As a partner at Spark Capital, that investment philosophy has paid off. Despite making only 1-2 investments a year, he’s picked some of the biggest winners in AI so far: ...

In an attempt to turn lemons into lemonade, I’m reviewing our community guidelines to see what we can improve. We can do a better job of highlighting that Micro.blog can be a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community. What I said in the Kickstarter video in 2017 is still true: indie blogs, safe community.

In 30 years of working on apps and the web, I’ve never had a falling out like this with another developer. It’s depressing. There are lessons here in why social media brings out the worst in us, amplifying disagreements. Things I’ve written a lot about! But seeing it happen live is something else.

In this episode Tammie Lister, who has a deep history with WordPress and themes, discusses the evolution of WordPress theming, the concept of Full Site Editing, and its adoption challenges. She highlights the importance of experimentation and adaptability in themes, the underestimated impact of block themes and theme.json, and envisions a future where themes might be simplified into more flexible design systems. Tammie emphasizes the gradual adoption of new technologies and the potential for more intuitive user interfaces influenced by AI. If you're curious about the current state of WordPress theming, the impact of emerging technologies on the platform, or how to infuse more creativity into your web projects, this episode is for you.

I’ve had to mute Adam Newbold. We’re a couple days in to Trump’s second term and we’re fighting amongst ourselves instead of working. In one day we went from friendly competition and shared values to an unrecoverable train wreck. I have so many things to improve in Micro.blog. Hope to make some progress on something positive today. A lot of people use both omg.lol and Micro.blog and I’m very sorry to them that this happened. ❤️
