It's even worse than it appears..

textcasting and ActivityPub are not mutually exclusive. It would be great if an ActivityPub instance would also support the features outlined in the Textcasting doc. It's equally possible that a non-ActivityPub app could support Textcasting. It's like saying you can send an MP3 over email and over SMS. Textcasting is the MP3. As the Textcasting doc says I'm interested in supporting writers. Really if we work on it, we can have a great writing and reading environment. #
WordPress signin is now the default for feedland.org. I'm looking forward to being able to do some interesting things in the future with the WordPress connection.#
My gravestone visualized#
  • I love that ChatGPT makes it possible to create visualizations for ideas that previously I could only present in words. #
  • For example, I like to say that when I die my gravestone should say He's Done Digging or something like that, to stand in contrast to my long-lived motto -- Still diggin! I did some writing this morning about Future-Safe Archives, and thought to get that as a picture. The piece isn't ready to publish yet, but no reason not to share the illustration. So here it is.. #
  • Uncle Davy, no longer diggin.#
  • PS: No need for an actual gravestone. Online is fine. Hopefully we'll figure out how to make such things persist before it's needed. 😄#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
