I have a question about Automattic‘s new wordpress server in a sandbox, does it support the wpcom api?

Btw, I don’t like slack, and I lost my twitter account so it’s down to Bluesky and mastodon for communicating with other Wordpress devs, unless i’m missing something. 😀

It's quite an honor to be included in that club.

Thanks Brent! ;-)

if bluesky wants to be of the web the character limit has to go.

the web doesn't have a character limit.

I have not done any vibe coding and have a question for those who have.

Suppose you request a change, adding features, changing things around based on learning and testing, which is generally what happens after you've been working on something new.

Here's the question. What happens when you ask for a change that requires the codebase to be reorganized.

How did that go? Do the AIs know that's possible or do they just pile on special cases?

They all say podcasting‘s open period is over and one or another huge billionaire-owned platform is the new owner of podcasting.

How many times has this happened? Many. But not enough for journalism to respect the power of the people.

So here we go again..

News must be better defended, decentralized, unownable, all parts replaceable. The current situation was preventable. Same problem the social web has.

if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026.

1. ai is exciting!

2. it's also in its infancy.

3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web.

4. the web is 100% our #1 priority.

5. so we're going to wait.

6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser.

7. we won't include ai until we know why.

8. and then it will be opt-in.

9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser.

sincerely,

the developers of firefox

Maybe it’s time for the news industry reform around the EZ-Pass for News?
