I think I need to get some work done. Started off the day distracted. Lightly grumpy because too many dramas.
Just going to throw this out there since I missed it on my first pass reading something. Potentially more reputable than the one I posted and deleted a bit ago. Git WordPress plugin updater from Andy Fragen: [git-updater.com](

I recommend reading this & following Joost with regards to what’s going on with WordPress. (There are other people I could recommend too but there are some I think might not want the extra attention.) And the WordCamp issue looks like it’s resolved for the moment: [github.com/WordPress/wo...](

Not the worst rug pull but still unexpected. A short break sounds fine (and honestly Matt probably needs to just take a personal sabbatical) but he doesn’t really look at the consequences of his actions. A few of those consequences are outlined in the article. RE:

My inkjet printer is literally from 2009. I have held onto and maintained it because it doesn't have any of the programmed in end of life nonsense. But it's not connecting to the most recent computer (I've been printing to a newer laser.) So I guess I need to set up a print server? Sigh.
Question: Does anyone know if scrapers try to translate QR codes on websites for info? I'm trying to think of ways I could add a Vcard to a website in a way that's not going to increase spam. This is about getting people to save websites & contact info, not submit anything in a form.

This has been needed for awhile so that more people will use domain names. Won't fix all attempts at impersonation but it will hopefully help get more people be willing to transition from the bsky dot social handles. RE:
