@ibboard are you sure the issue isn't that you are including urls you don't want indexed in the sitemap.xml? Google doesn't like being told to index a page in one place and then not to index it in another.
Hey folks, I've been diving into artificial intelligence lately, curious about how it could supercharge our human abilities, and maybe even drive #Drupal to new heights.
So, I thought I'd tinker around with an #AI tool to whip up some fresh logos that embody the forward-thinking, innovative spirit of Drupal. Again, just for fun, please note that I'm not proposing anything here and I love the current logo 😊
Here's what it came up with – what do you think? Which one is your favourite?
@AlexMoreno I like the idea of CMS work as venturing into unexplored parts of space, but it seems like a complete departure from the drop instead of an evolution. Are you familar with Grav? It is another PHP CMS. Space has always been their brand... and their human designers do it much better https://getgrav.org/
Drupal 7 branches of unsupported modules and themes are no longer eligible for new maintainership
Community support for contributed modules and themes will continue as it has to date. However, beginning August 1, 2023, once the Drupal 7 branch of a contributed module or theme is marked unsupported it will not be eligible for new maintainership and will not be marked supported again.
Unlike before this change where members of the community could volunteer to take over a popular project that went unsupported, only existing maintainers and members of the security will even know a project is headed towards being unsupported.
Part of being a good leader is stepping down gracefully. I have been trying to step down from the SF #drupal community for 2 years.
I learned that BADCamp's hackathon will be hosted & sponsored by Pantheon.
I was not graceful. I left immediately, not caring about a replacement.
Pantheon's Acceptable Use Policy does not align with my values as long as Pantheon continues to provide services to Alliance Defending Freedom & other recognized hate groups.
@volkswagenchick as a CO resident, we hear more about Kristen Waggoner's cases as they work their way through CO courts to the Supreme Court than the average person. The ADFL site didn't end up being hosted on Pantheon by accident. She wants them to deplatform their site so she can sue and under the current court, she will win. What you are asking Pantheon to do is corporate suicide.
@jurgenhaas that is not what I'm saying at all. I thought I was being very clear that deplatforming the lawyer who recently won 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis and provides legal strategy training to right wing organizations about deplatforming when the organization hasn't done anything illegal would be the type of short sighted, knee-jerk reaction they are hoping for. This is a poison pill that Kristen Waggoner is hoping to use to set even more legal precedent.
One of the saddest parts of an #opensource maintainer's life is having to reject PRs, sometimes thousands of lines long, for no better reason than "this is not the project's direction right now and it will interfere with what we're working on".
I don't know where the "write code first ask questions later" approach came from, but I really wish we'd communicate with each other more. The fallout of not doing so isn't fun for anyone.
@imsnif in some (many?) cases the feature in the PR is going to be written regardless of whether a maintainer wants it or not because that's the feature some paid them to add or their personal project/side hustle needed. What many contributors are hoping is someone else maintains and improves the feature as the project moves forward so they don't have to maintain a fork.
@br00t4c I don't believe that interviewer casually dropped the billions Skift estimates AirBnB could make enshittifying their app and selling the audience trying to book a place to stay to someone selling tours or discounted meals. The article read more like a PR piece where Brian answered the cleaning fee question for the millionth time in exchange for being and to push regulating emerging competition, critize NYC and keep the stock from crashing because they have billions in untapped ad revenue that he alone can now deliver at 5x the velocity without PMs and the right User Story.
He's like a parent jingling keys to distract a child so the forget they are sitting in a shitty diaper. AirBnB doesn't work when owners are forced to pay the same taxes as hotels and there are enough rooms to handle peek demand empty most of the time. Hotels can normalize those costs. Individual owners with 3 or 4 properties just go bankrupt.
I often give #Drupal a hard time due to all the eccentricates of the community and the code, but seeing the sudden #enshittification of #unity really makes me appreciate contributing to a non-corporate #openSource project.
@mikemccaffrey true, but when you are selling critical features as "value-added services" like https://www.acquia.com/drupal/site-studio, that influences the initiatives that are priorities. Being the BDFL of the DA AND the CTO with a fiduciary responsibility to investors is a hard line to walk. I think Dries does it better than most, but you don't have to look very hard to find long-term contributors who feel their work has already been "enshittified" and sold to corporate interests. The principles of #backdropcms community defined in https://backdropcms.org/philosophy are basically a response to being feeling "enshitted" on. Others (including myself) see Drupal's evolution to the best CMS configuration built on Symfony as essential to remain relevant. While not corporate, I am now working with Drupal at an enterprise level. I can see why some of the smaller non-profits I worked with in past feel abused.
#Drupal is still going strong as a CMS, whether you're using it as a rendering engine, headless, or as a back office system. How do you view Drupal? Is it vibrant and modern? Do you think it is leftovers and time to drop like a hot potato? For me, I see a great future with the most active open-source project in the world. Share your thoughts!
@Creech while many universities pay vendors, a large number now have internal teams contributing back to Drupal directly. We don't contribute as much as agencies selling Drupal, but higher ed groups like Penn State start showing up on page 3 of https://www.drupal.org/organizations?page=2.
Is it the Google Recipe problem? I started https://fosstodon.org/@drupal-planet@feedsin.space when I was looking at auto-posting planet content to https://kbin.social/m/drupal/, but as Mastodon continues to catch on and the Kbin community has grown (now 50 subscribers) most of the non-spam articles are already showing up as federated "microblogs" using the #drupal hashtag or being posted as Articles by real human users. I reach out to agencies from time to time when they post general web/project management, "look at us" type posts that have nothing to do with Drupal, but even the Drupal-related content is getting "spammier" lately.
@thudfactor take a look at https://haxtheweb.org/. The people driving that project drank the Web Component koolaid years ago and now have some fully baked features.
So I created a magazine (which is similar to a subreddit, correct?) - what now? How do I even find my own? They don't show anywhere in my profile nor do I see any moderator tools, etc.
@acunasdaddy you can find magazines by searching from https://kbin.social/magazines. The Articles posted to the magazines you subscribe to show up in your feed. Microblogs are just aggregate content from the Fediverse. The moderation tools are limited, but what exists can be found by clicking the Magazine Panel button.
All of Kbin is very much a work in progress. A lot of things work as expected. Some don't. Be patient and pay it forward by helping others figure this out when you can.
