Short posts, images, bookmarks, that aren't detailed enough to be considered a blog post. This is something like my personal timeline.

why do you live in the woods? sometimes, the only way to make sense of something absurd is to stretch it out, to fill the gaps, to make the words fit the space they’re given.A very nice text, I like it very much.

State of my plugins Kirby 5 is right around the corner and with come some breaking changes and cool new features. I am happy to be able to announce that most of my plugins are already…I wrote a little bit about the status of my Kirby plugins. I'll probably do that over there from now on and only link it here briefly, I think.

CEO of AI Music Company Says People Don’t Like Making Music "I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music.”It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you need to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music.
Uhm… As a musician with over 35 years of experience playing an instrument, I don't fall into that category of people, but... I mean, that's what it's about. That's the creative process, getting better, working on songs. We work weeks, even months on individual songs and that's incredibly fun. A song is never really finished, you know?
If it's about getting something done as quickly as possible, then this statement is probably true, but that's not my understanding of making music.

wordpress.org In a post on wordpress.org, Mullenweg talks about forks of WordPress and how he finds them great. Now, some people are starting a new WP fork and want to scale it up with a non-profit structure behind it.
Matt also thinks this is great – or so he claims; but not without already taking jabs in the first part of the text, subtly calling the people involved incompetent.
Ultimately, he wants to "push the project forward" and is therefore locking the developers' accounts of the people involved:
To make this easy and hopefully give this project the push it needs to get off the ground, I’m deactivating the .org accounts of Joost, Karim, Se Reed, Heather Burns, and Morten Rand-Hendriksen. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to try different leadership models or align with WP Engine to join up with their new effort.
Is this still something like poisoned praise? Is there a corresponding term for that? Mullenweg seems more and more like a toxic boss. I’m sure exciting new projects will emerge from this whole situation. But I worry about all the other tools also belonging to Automattic, like Pocket Casts, for example.
Mullenweg seems to be tearing down an entire technical ecosystem with a lot of momentum and stubborn behavior right now.

Aligning Automattic’s Sponsored Contributions to WordPress | Kev Quirk This whole WordPress saga is getting more and more ridiculous. This is the latest step by Automattic to further fuck things up for themselves.I'm afraid I have to agree with Kev in most parts. On a positive note: something good could come out of this whole weird situation, namely that more people will start using other systems, getting involved or even starting to build something new themselves. WordPress also emerged from a fork of another CMS. Anyway, I still feel very at home with Kirby.
