I podcast over at WP Builds, WP Tavern. I have too much to say, and more than enough mics to say in into!

Here's the thing.

I have spent 4 years working in and on crypto.

When I criticise it, I know what I'm talking about.

I was drawn in by the idea of a new financial system that didn't rely on traditional banks. I was excited by the idea of rebuilding digital ownership in a post-streaming world.

In the end, I came to realise my idealism had blinded me. The philosophy was largely false.

And outweighed by the scams, thefts, fraud and grift.

@Daojoan I'm curious, in what way were they seeing your work as an asset? I'm ignorant, so I'm genuinely curious. What were they hoping to gain from your work, and how were they hoping to gain it?

Just a thoought... You don't need the Internet-of-things or AI in your fridge, or microwave, or pizza oven, or car etc. Anyone who says that you do is likely not worthy of your business. The more we connect these things, the more likely they sre to break in ways that you and I cannot fix!

@LoneLocust Yeah, that's both compelling and interesting. Mmm... gonna have to dwell on that, but I'm really not that interested in the companies profitting from the data that I'd have to surrender.

I can guarantee you three things this morning. 1. I hate paperwork more than you do. 2. I am worse at paperwork than you are. 3. I can think of more ingenious ways of avoiding paperwork than it's possible for you to imagine.

I was in England today. Had a late breakfast, did some gardening, played tennis with my son, went out to a local orchestra concert. Quite a nice Saturday all in all. Particularly this exact Saturday.

I'm going to be doing a LIVE webinar with Matthias Pfefferle on Weds 24th April at 3pm (UK time). It's all about WordPress and the Fediverse (think Mastodon) and how to turn your website into a member of this growing social network. It'll be at wpbuilds.com/live.

@shawnhooper I'm not too sure that this will turn out in the way that we all (as WordPress users) hope. I hope that I'm wrong about that.

CSS has gotten so, so good over the last few years. So many things that were really difficult to do are now trivial.

You know how designers get no-code solutions?

Are there any no-design solutions for coders to use?

nathan,
@nathan@wpbuilds.social avatar

@ross Okay, let me try again, nothing whatsoever needs to look good. I'm living by this motto, and it's working out fine!!!!

nathan,
@nathan@wpbuilds.social avatar

@ross Okay, so the 2nd, or maybe 3rd law of thermodynamics means that it's all going to look pretty ugly in the end, so I'm ending with that!!!!

nathan,
@nathan@wpbuilds.social avatar

@ross What I was meaning is that your code does not need to look wonderful! So long as you can read the text, you're good!

nathan,
@nathan@wpbuilds.social avatar

@ross I think that online design needs code, but online code does not need design. QED, coders win!!!! 😜

Okay, so this is a bit weird, but someone asked me the other day how I would encapsulate the WordPress community in one word. I came up with "kind". What would you say is the one word to sum up the community, not the software?

So, I'm trying this out... Mastodon only for now! I want to be a part of a "WP Builds" community, but all-the-platforms seem to put themselves first... ads, and ways to monetise. I recently found Discord, and set up a WP Builds server. I'm no expert, and WILL screw things up, but if you're into WordPress and want to try this out with me, here's a link to join our Discord: https://discord.gg/fCrfrvgpv6 I hope that this works!!!! Please let me know if it does not!?!? 😀

For years, WP Builds header has said "A WordPress podcast packed full of things that you either don’t want to know or are clever enough to work out that we just made up!" I wonder if I should alter that, and if you could help me with it? What is WP Builds? Gosh, that's heavy!
