I have been looking for a way to syndicate from here to Mastodon, and landed on the KnownMastodon plugin. Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I did a bit of digging and discovered that the error was in a piece of Mastodon authorisation code and that cdn has implemented a fix, but that did not seem to have made it into the code I downloaded. Further digging revealed that the fix was actually by crscheid and that even though they had created a proper pull request, that had not been merged either. I did what any sane cargo culter would do, downloaded the fix, stuck it in my site, crossed my fingers and tried again. Lo!
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
It gave me no pleasure to read Brad DeLong's recent Dealing with Global Warming Over the Next Fifty Years, in which he eviscerates several climate deniers https://braddelong.substack.com/p/dealing-with-global-warming-over
No, wait. It gave me a great deal of pleasure. Do yourself a favour.

@jeremycherfas Certainly guys like that muddied the waters but our failure to grasp the urgency of the climate emergency is a much, much larger failure. Corporate media have done an absolutely terrible job of reporting on climate for 30+ years and are still failing at this moment. But the public too is to blame. Certainly the wealthy 10% of westen nations will do anything to avoid thinking or acting on climate. I do not know a single person in my extended family or local community that is taking any responsibility at all. Hardly any interest at all in making any kind of change or taking any kind of action.
This failure will not be the story of the next 50 years. It will be the entire store of our diminished future.

Grammarphobia says it has no clue about the origins of "chumbalone"meaning an idiot, or stupid. https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2024/03/chumbolone.html
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I reckon it derives from the Italian ciambellone, like a big pound cake with a hole in the middle. Can anyone confirm?
Or could it be from coglione?
Another test of syndication.

Another walk in the park, but here's the thing -- the bicycle quest was actually marginally closer than the walking one.
Found another person who syndicated from WithKnown to Mastodon, and wondering what technology they used. Probably the Mastodon plugin that is not working for me.
Testing POSSE to Mastodon using the KnownMastodon plugin. I like the fact that (if it works) syndication is optional for each post.
Trying to use IFTTT to POSSE from here to @etp@indieweb.social and discovering, alas, that use of a webhook requires payment. Not that I'm against paying, just that this particular use cannot justify the cost. Next stop, the ActivityPub plugin.
Movie might, My Generation, with Michael Caine. Excellent documentary about London in the 1960s. Loads of nostalgia. What a time and place to be growing up in.
Probably not relevant, but I have to transfer a site from WordPress to ClassicPress and I might do it on Saturday and take the opportunity to make it a bit more IndieWeb.

@jeremycherfas I've set up a ClassicPress site and the Indieweb plugins all worked. I detailed it here: cyberzettel.com/successfu...
The major hitch was from my host which runs an auto-update robot for all Wordpress installs, for security purposes, which kept reverting my ClassicPress site back to Wordpress every half hour. I had to get them to turn that off for my ClassicPress install.

@bradenslen Thanks. I've done it for one of my own sites too, absolutely painless. This is a bigger site that was failing a PHP upgrade to 8.2. I knew this day would come, and as I have no need for the bells and whistles of WP these days, time to make the change.

@jeremycherfas Well, that sounds like a worthwhile read. Just added it to my read-later list. :)
