Many seem to think the announced changes in governance of the mastodon project is a reaction to #WPDrama and the antics of Matt Mullenweg.

In reality the money quote from the article is this:

"The Mastodon GmbH entity automatically became a for-profit as a result of its charitable status being stripped away in Germany. "

Some people fail even the very low bar of not having people throw raucous parties when you die.

We really should aim a bit higher.

Moving house in Venice, how does that work?

A pile of your belongings on the shore of a canal, and a Venetian truck.

Why do we have to suffer such sunsets? Can't something be done about it?

Hi, I now have the check boxes in the plugin settings, they're unchecked, and I keep getting the notifications.

Something's off.

Also, I'm being spammed by emails for new followers and likes, and there's nowhere to disable them. Likes and follows are nice, but I don't want that to be my focus for mental health reasons. It stresses me. I want to focus on making interesting content.

An update to the WordPress ActivityPub plugin yesterday has changed the layout of my site without any warning, by adding a block showing likes and follows on all pages and posts.

Such changes should not be automatic and not notified.

I have had to go around and remove that block, which doesn't match the layout of my site. I'll now have to do it on other sites too.

Please don't make automatic changes to visible parts of our sites.

What's the point of having a phone when 90% of the calls are prerecorded spam from nonexistent numbers?

I respond with a canned text message because text messages included in my plan. Once or twice a year, somebody texts back, because they're actually people.

As can be seen from the graph above, I started with a fully charged battery, then worked for a less than two-hour period, later for a more than two-hour period, and finally for another hour, until the charge was at 5%.

I'm OK with five hours of active working time on the tablet, but others might have other expectations. It is better than any of my other computers, which, must be said, are all a bit old (5-12 years).

2/2
