The problem with WordPress’s 100 year plan.
I would absolutely pay for a service to keep my work online after my death. This is not the service for me — and the fact that they haven’t sold a single account in three months makes it clear I’m not alone. https://onemanandhisblog.com/2023/11/the-problem-with-automattics-100-year-plan/

Great to see Ghost building its new recommendations feature on open standards: it’s basically Webmentions under the hood.
I was one of the test group - and it’s great to see it out there. https://ghost.org/changelog/recommendations/?ref=adam-tinworth-micro-blog

Huh. Movable Type 8 is out. Once upon a time I’d have been really excited by that - but at $499 a licence, not much chance I’d ever go back…
They seem to have obseleted xml-rpc too, which mighty be of concern to @npub1e0x…d30u. https://movabletype.org/documentation/8.0.2.html

The first would-be competitor to X/Twitter to fail? Stand up, Pebble (formerly t2). Maxed out at about 3000 daily activity users, so funders weren’t interested. https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/24/pebble-the-twitter-alternative-previously-known-as-t2-is-closing-down/

We appear to have gone from the height of summer to autumn in four days.

Stanford neuroscientist demonstrates the quickest way to eliminate stress:
"“The physiological sigh is the fastest hardwired way for us to eliminate a stressful response in our body quickly in real time,” says Andrew Huberman, an associate professor of neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine."
Gonna keep this in reserve for the autumn. https://boingboing.net/2023/08/11/stanford-neuroscientist-demonstrates-the-quickest-way-to-eliminate-stress.html

I think Bluesky is the first social network I’ve not been able to get onto. Not been able to wangle an invite anywhere, and still stuck in the invite queue.
The real danger for them, is that I increasingly don’t care - and it’s literally part of my job to be paying attention to these things.

@npub1grx…uxfe Oooh. The Fort Lauderdale intercoastal. Love it. Been a decade since I was last there, when we were visiting my wife’s godfather.

Only the very biggest newsletter authors are getting any reaction at all.
