  • Bluesky Is Not Decentralized And That’s An Issue And Will Continue To Be One

    The above user allegedly had their account suspended on Bluesky at the request of the Turkish government, according to this Reddit post in the Bluesky Subreddit. This is concerning because there was a mass exodus from Twitter/X recently when that network started suspending accounts a the request of the Turkish government. Bluesky is not decentralized.…

  • In My Opinion Bluesky Will Never Federate And That’s Concerning

    What are we doing here folks? We all flocked to Bluesky because it resembled what we used love — Twitter from the 2010s, but with the hope that it would in the end be different. The Bluesky team has promised to federate/decentralize for a while now, with nothing coming of it. Only empty promises (so…

  • Lock Your Credit Reports

    I meant to write this suggestion out when I was told by my wife that we should do this. Lock your credit reports so that people can’t f- with it. This is more important now than ever with DOGE and the Muskrats rummaging through the federal government. I still can’t believe that Musk has been…

  • Boycott American Companies, Just Know That I Am A Good American!

    I can’t let DJT and Musk define who I am. I am a true American. I don’t stand for what the current POTUS is doing and how a non-American is destroying our country. It’s shameful, horrible, reprehensible. I see the outpouring of support around the world for Ukraine and our “leader” cozying up to the…

    Roger Montti over at Search Engine Journal reported that the latest in the WordPress Drama had dropped. Matt Mullenweg, the “leader” of the WordPress project has barred longtime supporter of the project Joost De Valk from speaking at WordCamp Asia, because Matt feels Joost stabbed him in the back.

  • Sharing Between Protocols

    So, I’ve wanted to figure out the best way to utilize both the AT-Protocol and the ActivityPub protocol and how they can talk to each other. There’s an app/service called Brid.gy on both ActivityPub (Mastodon/Fediverse) and on the AT-Protocol. What it does is nothing less than awesome. It creates accounts both ways so people on…

  • Blog Questions Challenge

    I was challenged by my good buddy Simon Cox to participate in the Blog Question Challenge. I accepted. Why Did You Start Blogging In The First Place? The Blog Question Challenge encourages bloggers to reflect on their experiences and share their insights. Good question. I’ve been blogging since the early days. But not really on…

  • Matt Mullenweg Says WPE Lawsuit Could End WordPress… Um Nope!

    In a post from Search Engine Journal, Roger Montti reports that Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of the WordPress open source content management system, says that the lawsuit with WP Engine could end WordPress. Honestly this has me fuming. Because WordPress is so much more than just Matt. It has a huge community of supporters and…
