@ultimike according to https://alpha-omega.dev/grants/how-to-apply/

"Grant agreements will not be heavy with timelines and specific outcomes. Grant recipients are expected to understand that future funding depends on meaningful progress, even as Alpha-Omega understands that not all progress will be the same. "

And I think we'll see progress (hopefully) in this repo https://github.com/ossf/alpha-omega/tree/main/alpha/engagements/2026

Every AI Bro: We are here to save humanity. We will start by making electricity, water, and electronics more expensive in order to build a machine to put you out of a job. You may begin showering us with gratitude now.

@redcrew @avlcharlie I always read this as “we put a price tag to your privacy”

It’s difficult to understand how when companies execute mass layoffs or how they call them “restructuring” or whatever bs they pretend to wrap the reality in to dehumanise the people getting the sack, the leadership team who is the main responsible of the situation in the first place is never part of said “restructuring”. How convenient. https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/

The next Drupal CWG Community Health Office Hours will be on Friday, May 22 at 7am PT (9am Central).

Drop in with a question, share what you've been navigating, or just listen.

In this session we're also opening up a conversation about AI: how it's affecting community work, what feels helpful, what doesn't, etc.

Zoom link goes in #community-health in Drupal Slack before we start.

@violenteastcoastcity @plutarch Drupal CMS is a subset of ready to use components already preconfigured, super easy to test and try, check it out :) https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms/trial

Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!

#SocialMedia #EU #EuropeanCommission #FollowUs

@pcambra Whoops, forgot to follow up here with a link to the contrib module that does that does the thing that core should already be doing on its own.

@mikemccaffrey there’s a module for that though

🚨⏳ Act now! Microsoft just enabled flex routing for Copilot users in the EU - and you're opted in automatically!

This means your data can be processed outside of the EU.

Turn if off now: Copilot → Settings → Flex routing → Do not allow flex routing

Even better, yet, cancel Copilot. Here's why: https://tuta.com/blog/microsoft-copilot-reads-confidential-business-mail

@amber 🤣

@pcambra lol not sure thats right considering WP powers over a quarter of the web right now?

@amber we think the same about Wordpress from this side of the river 😅

Finished migrating both my sites from WordPress to Drupal 11 on shared hosting. Wrote up what I actually ran into — messy data cleanup, GDPR, security headers, Composer limitations. Also used it as a test for AI on data quality work. 🧹

Coincidentally good timing with everything happening in the WordPress space. Full reference checklist included.

#Drupal #WordPress #WebDev #GDPR #OpenSource

We are aware of the outages yesterday and this morning, and have been working to find more resilient solutions. We have seen an increasing pattern of massively distributed scraping via residential IPs in ways that neither our Fastly CDN WAF/DDOS protection nor Human Security bot detection have been able to mitigate.

The #Drupal ecosystem is moving faster (but steady!) than ever before. How do you keep up to date?

Shared my workflow (and how it's evolving) in my blog.

@pcambra @gatojardin ha! Well, it's great for connecting, but not the best place to follow a long thread with forks 😜

@penyaskito @gatojardin he got response from a Canvas maintainer so I think Fedi is a pretty decent place to ask questions 😻

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.

This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

@penyaskito @greg_harvey Of course, Bob was very diligent in 2028 before the Great 2030 Layoffs and had all their skills, agents, instructions and whatnot in the company repos, however the Great Cuts of (late) 2030 made the company stop paying for GitHub so those repos were deleted due to multiple card declines not much after.

@pcambra @greg_harvey That, *if* you are putting those .md files into source control.

@greg_harvey "Claude, spend $5k auditing and reviewing this code that nobody knows how it works and using these 2450 .md files that someone generated in 2026"

"How was it developing this code via the Claude Code loop? Miserable*."

"I used AI. It worked. I hated it." by @mttaggart https://taggart-tech.com/reckoning/

This is a really good blogpost. And I"m sure it'll make some people unhappy to read whether they're pro or anti genAI. What's good about @mttaggart's blogpost is he talks honestly about how using Claude Code did actually solve the problem he set out to do. It needed various guardrails, but they were possible to set up, and the project worked. But the post is also completely clear and honest about how miserable it was:

- It removed the joy from the process
- If you aim to do the right thing and carefully evaluate the output, your job ends up eventually becoming "tapping the Y key"
- Ramifications on people learning things
- Plenty of other ethical analysis
- And the nagging wonder whether to use it next time, despite it being miserable.

I think this is important, because it *is* true that these tools are getting to the point where they can accomplish a lot of tasks, but the caveat space is very large (cotd)

I like the web and I like people learning new things.

So we're running a free 10 week web development bootcamp online, starting April 24th.

📍Really free and not selling/pushing anything
📍Livestreamed lessons with Q&A
📍Expert guest speakers
📍Chill vibes
📍Kind learner community
📍I bet my cats will show up

I've been thinking about moving this instance from Vultr to infomaniak https://www.infomaniak.com/en/about as it would be cheaper and apparently better for privacy but then I've read https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/vpns/infomaniak-breaks-rank-and-comes-out-in-support-of-controversial-swiss-encryption-law so I'm now conflicted

I'd like to listen to opinions, also if someone is thinking about supporting this instance, you can check how to do it in https://opencollective.com/drupal-mastodon

Dynamic type expressions in Drupal config schema #drupal https://mglaman.dev/blog/dynamic-type-expressions-drupal-config-schema?utm_campaign=blog&utm_source=fediverse&utm_medium=social&utm_content=toot

I wrote a bit about the new major version of the redis module that I've been working on and the performance improvements that it brings: https://www.md-systems.ch/en/blog/2025-09-12/performance-and-maintenance-improvements-drupal-redis-module

@pcambra Also, who is paying the taxes if no one is employed? Certainly not corporations or billionaires…

How does this work?

How is it compatible to wipe between 50-80% of the so-called "white-collar" workforce according to these company estimates and be profitable?

Who's buying their B2C product exactly if there are virtually no consumers? who's buying their B2B product if their corporate clients have virtually no consumers?

I feel like all these analysis are missing a very important variable on all this and I think they're doing it on purpose.

But when you look at projected numbers of OpenAI and Anthropic for their supposed IPOs (end of this year??) they're projecting massive profits by 2030 according to this article in WSJ https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-anthropic-ipo-finances-04b3cfb9?st=AUu1XC&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

SO...

Ok so given that every single piece of tech news is #AI related... how does this work exactly? 🧵

"Dario Amodei, the head of Anthropic, has warned that A.I. could eliminate 50 percent of entry-level white-collar jobs within years. The tech investor Vinod Khosla predicted last year that A.I. would replace 80 percent of jobs by 2030. Elon Musk has said the technology will render work “optional.”
