The revolutionary ActivityPub feature is now available across all WordPress.com plans, unlocking a world of engagement and interaction for your blog. Your blogs can now be part of the rapidly expanding fediverse, which enables you to connect with a broader audience and attract more followers.
Heather Meeker spoke at DrupalCon at a fireside chat session with Tim Lehnen in 2021. Her new book will likely be something many Drupal developers would benefit from reading. Not just for people hoping to profit from Drupal, but to help those of us committed to FOSS understand the world of Commercial Open Source Software (COSS).
@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.
Adam Frisch came within 600 votes of defeating Boebert without this much money to spend. The money is likely given freely now by people who hate Boebert more than they like Frisch. They never want to hear about this trashier version of Sarah Palin again and donate make sure he wins, but if the donations are primarily coming from outside his conservative district, this election could still be decided by Trump's ability to motivate people who would still enthusiasticly vote Boebert to show up at the polls. If that happens and true conservatives just sit this one out rather than voting for "the other side", CO may end up sending this train wreck back to DC.
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.
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.

Sounds like progress, but please consider using a term other than "whitelist" when describing a list of allowed values. While the use of blacklist predates references to black as a race, allowlist is a reasonable alternative that doesn't reinforce viewing black as less than or unwanted and white as allowed.

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.
/kbin is certainly not dying, as @fr0g pointed out, work on new features and bug fixes is ongoing. However, it may give the impression that it is, and for that, I take full responsibility and owe you an explanation....
You might reach out to https://indieweb.social/@dries. He's talked openly about some of the challenges his project has had scaling and less openly about how personally he takes it when he can't solve problems with the project/contributor community. Drupal is a very mature community that has been able to foster a lot of trust between longtime contributors. What you've accomplished with Kbin already is amazing. Give yourself time to figure out how to delegate in a way that works for you. Focus on finding the right people and process over an arbitrary date.
#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.
The legal representation of the voting machine companies are a box of pupies compared to the big pharma lawyers. IANAL, but this sounds like textbook defamation.
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.
I didn't delete my account and still read https://www.reddit.com/r/drupal/, but I only comment when I think the user would have better luck posting to https://kbin.social/m/drupal or https://kbin.social/m/php. The Kbin version of the Drupal community only has 50 subscribers, but some articles get the same number of upvotes/favorites on Kbin as they do on Reddit now. Drupal users have their own Mastodon instance at https://drupal.community/ and the founder/lead of the project is active on https://indieweb.social/@dries, so it doesn't take much to convince that community to move the conversation to an open, ActivityPub based platform.
ActivityPub is @talkingdrupal's Module of the Week. It implements the ActivityPub protocol on your site, so readers can follow and respond to content on Fediverse sites like Mastodon, and in the future maybe Threads?
Beginning today, Drupal core issues reported to the Security Team with risk levels that are "Not Critical", "Less Critical", or "Moderately Critical" may be treated as bugs in the public issue queue, not as private security issues requiring a security advisory and CVE.
