This piece explains the tragedy of how we've set up communication using our networks, all based on exclusive products, rather than standards which mean you can use whatever software you want for more and more of your communication.
Send this video to your favorite Democrat and let them know that we would pay money to have this video run as an ad running everywhere, exactly as-is, no editing, not made glamorous. This is the truth that absolutely is not getting out about the law the Repubs want. We need to communicate with each other using the amazing tools we have at our disposal now in the third decade of the freaking 21st century.

Uptime of GitHub Pages alternatives
Measuring service availability of static website hosting
WordPress can now connect via MCP for both reading and writing. This sounds like a possible alternative for the wpcom api that we're building on in WordLand. Sometimes it feels like everything is being reinvented. If the world would just stand still for a moment we might be able to do some building. I wonder how the advent of AI is affecting how WordPress is being developed. I know it's changing everything here.
Meanwhile I have to tend to the past. I had a server go down the other day, and haven't been able to get it running again. It's a very old one, the first I used PagePark for hosting the apps. So I'd rather not have to dig into whatever it is that's keeping it from running. This morning I moved the test app for XML-RPC, betty.userland.com, to another server, so this page now works again.

People can understand March Madness, they can understand this. You have to help though. The first question could be:
The first question could be:
- Do you have your birth certificate or passport?
In the ad we could also estimate what the probable makeup of Congress would be if the law passed.
And keep an open mind, it's possible this move could backfire on the Republicans. Who knows how people will vote after this kind of madness becomes law.
They might want to keep things as they are.
Mozilla could have been
I’ve watched Mozilla not get it for what feels like decades.
Their only legit function imho is to make the real actual web be a great platform for independent developers.
For that, start by adding user controlled storage to the web, a few standard formats, and let app devs take it from there.
