Honestly, a group of WordPress developers should just fork everything from Jetpack and create a Jetpack alternative, but free from the nefarious stuff, just keep the useful functions.

Automattic and their AI training opt-in and now the “enhanced distribution,” which they allow AI companies to use OUR blog posts without consent for AI training.

Enough with AI companies stealing our works. Our works is not for AI training.

If anyone knows a great alternative to Mailchimp (with better pricing), let me know!

Yatta-Tachi’s exceeded their free plan a long while ago and we would prefer not having to upgrade and spend $300 a year just to send out weekly newsletters when we don't even make that much in a month.

Manga service Azuki apparently set up its own Mastodon server in the fediverse, well just yesterday.

Makoto getting the #a11yTOConf crowd in Japanese. I love the awkward silence as the room figures out that it is not an audio issue.

Been dealing with bad brain all this week and yesterday was fairly bad. Today, I'm feeling a little better, but now dealing with an earache and overall low energy.

It's times like this that make it really hard to take on more freelance work (even though I really need to) because there are days where I cannot even function.

I just aged tremendously by realizing that Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children came out in 2005.

Also seems kind of sus that the previous owner of a social media site applauds the hand over ownership to someone and that someone burns it to the ground at the same time the original owner hints of a new social media site as soon as the ink dries. Then as the old one’s new owner does a rather devastating move, the new one magically because available for beta. 🤔 Then thousands of tech bros are joining and loudly banging pots on how it’s groundbreaking…. Sus.

I truly hope folks take an extra moment or two to check out what inclusivity/accessibility folks are saying about a new social media site before you jump to join it. Also if it’s being run by a person who themselves has done some really terrible things… maybe triple guess your decision to join.

There are gonna be a lot of tech folks who are gonna be chatting up about it, but these folks are also the same folks who were all about other unethical/problematic stuff you’ve been seeing a lot lately.
