Webform.com was my attempt to fund an Open Source project through a SaaS, but changing personal situations and a changing web made it untenable. Although I'm sad, it's time to let it go. ✨

@ericjduran Also a fan of squash-merge. Minimizes hassle for the author and doesn't penalize them for incorporating feedback. And you can tidy up the commit message.

Is this unpopular? what goes on in someones branch really shouldn't matter, only thing that matter is the commit that made it into main. Otherwise main could have a horribly broken state. I don't trust all those other shady commits.

The final webinar in our series about navigating next steps for Drupal 7 sites is all about @backdropcms! Senior Developer, Eric Toupin will explain how we successfully moved 2 @stanford sites to Backdrop on Wednesday, Nov 9. Register here! hubs.li/Q01rk9M60

@MHannySabbagh @hamdi_b1530 @firefox Brave is effectively an advertising-based company. computerworld.com/article/329261…

Here’s a step by step guide on how to block third-party trackers: Use Firefox. Done.

@stevector This is amazing! I love the RGB shifting to match the LaCroix 🤣

I wrote a poem in iambic pentameter about how the high ideals of Test-Driven Development often keep automated tests out of reach for many developers.

@PaulLomax Wow, unreal! ☹️ 100+ years its probably time for an update. Several US states ban breed-specific insurance clauses, but not California. Pits are commonly abused and raised as fighting dogs but are not inherently violent.

@quicksketch They’re actually banned in the UK. A law from 1911. However there is a way of getting an exemption. And some are campaigning to change the law. bbc.com/news/newsbeat-…

I've had the last straw with @AAAInsurance after unfairly profiling my dog as "vicious" based on race and not behavior or history. Anyone have suggestions for pitbull-friendly home insurance?

@monicasflores @drupalassoc I've had the pleasure of working with @monicasflores for the past 3 years. She has been transformative to me and others with her continual efforts to make everyday work more inclusive in our language and behaviors. She would be an amazing @DrupalAssoc At-Large Board Member.

@webchick I love this. Reducing "Time To Trivial Bug Fix" is a great goal. Volunteers might not be able to make an hours-long turn around but I'd love to see it reduced to a few days rather than weeks or months.

Some late night musing about #OpenSource #Community & #Contributor health. 🧵 1/16

The RTBC queue is clear and we're ready for the release of Backdrop 1.23.0 tomorrow! 🚀

At Backdrop LIVE last month we had a great discussion on branding Backdrop CMS as "Drupal Classic". While that seems unlikely, @StPaulTim wrote up an excellent thought-piece on how Drupal and Backdrop have common ground for helping D7 users: triplo.co/blog/drupal-an…

@lattera @drupalsecurity Of the 4 security announcements, I think this is the only one that affects Drupal 7: drupal.org/sa-core-2022-0…

Security releases for Drupal 7 and Drupal 9: drupal.org/sa-core-2022-0…, drupal.org/sa-core-2022-0…, drupal.org/sa-core-2022-0…, drupal.org/sa-core-2022-0…

The C block of #BackdropLIVE starts in 15 minutes with a discussion on next steps for Entity Reference in Backdrop core. We might try out an upgrade from Node and Term References and see how it goes! events.backdropcms.org/discussions/en…

If you're interested in learning more about Entity Reference, how it was implemented, and what is next for references in Backdrop core, we're having a session at #BackdropLIVE online this Friday! events.backdropcms.org/discussions/en…

We completed merging Entity Reference into #BackdropCMS core today! github.com/backdrop/backd… Huge thank you to all our community, the 20+ developers that worked on the consolidation, and the original authors of the #Drupal module.

By directly supporting the most popular contrib reference solution from both Drupal 7 and existing Backdrop sites, we hope to continue to make #BackdropCMS the easiest solution for long-term, continuous support for D7 sites.

@webchick This approach helps me get in my monthly hours and expense reports. Getting them in on time makes it so that I don't burden the admin team with nagging me.

One of the more effective #ADHD coping mechanisms I've experienced is reframing things so that someone else is depending on me to get things done. - Write a report? Augh, I'd rather have my teeth drilled... - Write a report so that the new hire will have a leg up? OUTTA MY WAY.

Excited for Backdrop LIVE starting Friday! Still time to register and attend, even if it's only for a session or two. This is looking to be our largest Backdrop LIVE event so far!

@erinbschroeder I tried out Tidal just last night. Better than I expected but I'll need to figure out how to listen on Linux 🤕 Check out the landing page right after login, I think they sense opportunity!
