@iamposti In a variety places. Mostly UK based.

@JohnnoRead Where do you host your sites?

Do you use Studio as part of your dev workflow? I want to talk with you, we are working on something exciting :)

@theCTO What type of Ssl?

my friend was looking to get a website made, a simple blog site, Wordpress was the recommendation by most people. He went to a company asking for a Wordpress site, they quoted him $1,500 + $200 for SSL + $50 monthly hosting. We're so early, people are still paying for SSL man.

@bbcquestiontime Can you reserve one seat for an unusual guest. Perhaps someone like @scottsantens ?

Question Time can confirm that panellists who are not politicians are offered an appearance fee of £150.

@JimOnToast @WPTutz @HMRCgovuk You still got given money. Even if taxed. #moneyfornothing Some received no help and saw a negative impact from the furlough scheme disrupting the local scene.

@JohnnoRead @WPTutz @HMRCgovuk Taxable grants which were followed by loans.

Well, thank you @HMRCgovuk for introducing MTD and tripling my accountants' fees - please do tell me how you are helping solo traders and SME's! No wonder so many businesses are closing up shop - screw small businesses in every way possible! 🤬

@WPTutz @HMRCgovuk Think your accountant saw an opportunity.

@wordpressdotcom @briancoords When will it be able to sync to a self hosted site?

Early access! WordPress Studio now has an independently installable CLI. One command to install: npm install -g wp-studio And another to run WordPress locally, no desktop app needed: npx wp-studio It works on Mac, Windows, and Linux and makes it easy for your AI coding tools to interact with Studio. Sync, import, export, and more are coming soon. 👀 Free to install and use.

@mikemcalister Looking forward to seeing @buildwithollie and @bymilesai working together.

We just relaunched olliewp.com with a small brand refresh and a refocus on where we're going. 🎨 Ollie has been in constant evolution since its inception, and now we're boldly moving into the next era and bringing everyone with us.

@DuaneStorey A rich gravy is essential for a decadent poutine.

@JohnnoRead This had the proper gravy, but not the proper cheese. Still not bad though!

Making poutine for my friends in France.

@SteveJBurge Much better

I've attached "before" and "after" screenshots. We converted several old-looking metaboxes into one metabox with much more modern look. You can now control the viewing and editing access for all your posts directly from this single metabox.

If you're building with the WordPress block editor, you're faced with some key decisions around the user interface. Where do you put all your configuration options? Here are the 3 common choices:

@jamesckemp If the weather is good a wander along the Highline.

I'm heading to NY next week for a meetup. My first time there! I've booked a broadway show (Two Strangers). What else is a "must see" while I'm there? I was considering an NBA game at MSG...

@scottsantens To make it happen, talking about cost is needed.

I don't like talking about the cost of universal basic income, not because it's some high number, but because it assumes not doing it is FREE. We spend $1.5 TRILLION a year on the costs of child poverty alone. We cut child poverty by 40% for a cost of $100B in 2021. That would have been a $500B GAIN, but Congress decided that saving that much money cost too much. It's as dumb as saying that buying $100 for $20 is too expensive. What are we doing? We are 💯% fine spending any amount of money on wars and tax cuts for the rich, but I'm the one who has to defend spending public money in a way that reduces overall costs? I shouldn't have to convince anyone that investing $100 to get far more than $100 in return is a good deal. There are so many ways of going about UBI, and thus so many different price tags. It's not a simple answer. But what is simple is understanding that poverty, mass chronic insecurity, and extreme inequality all impose huge costs on our society. The cost of UBI is lower than the cost of not doing it.

@benswrite No, I use SEOPress in the main.

Does anyone actually use Yoast, SureRank, Rankmath? I mean people who don't shill, like I'm pretty sure, they are all the same product with different UI's.

@benswrite I guess you are talking about the @impactdotcom email blizzard.

Another 80 emails tied to this fucking affiliate platform. Fuck this, it's a joke, I apologised to Gravity Forms, in earnest. But if you can't fucking sort your own stuff out, it's done. Sorry if I'm being a cunt, but close to 400 emails is fucking breaking point.

@NigelSommelier Sounds like he'd rather be in spoons.

Too many dogs in a #pub?

@apeatling Have to say it is very impressive.

Thank you everyone who signed up and tried out Miles. I'm going to close this wave of beta testing to new signups. I got waaaaay more testers than I was expecting! 🤩 The next wave will open soon, add your email at bymiles.ai to be part of it!

@MarkPreston1969 Come across this so often. Yet they keep paying them.

Just been chatting to a director who told me that he had been paying an #SEO agency £2K per month and 6-months on, he still hasn't had any leads from it. (his existing new business comes via LinkedIn) I took a quick look at his website... Yup... The site is set to 'no index'. Nothing surprises me anymore...

@KateBMwriting @justincbs Much like sending an email presents a person who is lazy, not very bright and who really couldn’t care less compared to a hand written letter that is delivered by a footman. Or are they just more efficient?

@justincbs Because AI presents a person who is lazy, not very bright and who really couldn’t care less about the job in exactly the same way as someone who is bursting with enthusiasm and who would give their all in exactly the same way.

I’m reviewing job applications and 90% of the cover letters are AI generated. They use identical phrases and have exactly the same structure and word count. Why do people do it?
