  # Using AI to sort out the noise http://scripting.com/2026/06/12/143641.html I put together an app with the help of Claude that takes the name of a place, person or thing, and publishes a page on a static site.

  We had the world conned into taking our “dollars” and giving us cars, food, nice vacations, drugs, a huge military, all kinds of manufactured stuff for nothing, and we thought they were ripping us off! So we blew it up. The would-be “Art Of The Con” mastermind undid the biggest con in history.

  Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully. Just add .rss to any account to get the feed. Amazing! https://mastodon.social/@davew.rss Open that in your favorite feed reader. It’ll work. Post a screenshot, say what the reader app is. And pass this on to everyone who uses a feed reader. Spread the word! This is a huge deal for the open web.

  Reporters are ignoring the story of the century, the greatest horserace in American history! Decision 2024! Has American had enough of democracy? Should we return to slavery? Should we burn Jews, immigrants and intellectuals in the ovens? Let's have a good debate about this!

  I asked chatgpt if the term "glass palace" had been used to talk about pre-PC computer data centers. Short answer -- yes, see the screen shot for the rest.

  A note to people working in AT Proto or ActivityPub. MCP looks like a juggernaut. Wrote about it today. https://daveverse.org/2026/04/01/the-fog-of-tech/ We're in the middle of explosive growth in AI. It affects everything. I'm rethinking everything myself.

  I’m learning about MCP. Looks familiar, like the glue script files in Frontier. I’m interested in hearing from chatgpt/claude users about whether they use MCP interfaces? Do you use them?

  RE: https://daveverse.org/2026/03/28/blueskys-future-for-devs/ BTW, as you read this, note that Mastodon does not have the limits I write about. The whole post is here, including links. They could do a little better, but this is a huge advantage that Mastodon has, thanks to the open power of ActivityPub.

  if bluesky wants to be of the web the character limit has to go. the web doesn't have a character limit.

  I have a question about Automattic‘s new wordpress server in a sandbox, does it support the wpcom api? Btw, I don’t like slack, and I lost my twitter account so it’s down to Bluesky and mastodon for communicating with other Wordpress devs, unless i’m missing something. 😀 https://my.wordpress.net

  I have not done any vibe coding and have a question for those who have. Suppose you request a change, adding features, changing things around based on learning and testing, which is generally what happens after you've been working on something new. Here's the question. What happens when you ask for a change that requires the codebase to be reorganized. How did that go? Do the AIs know that's possible or do they just pile on special cases?

  if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026. 1. ai is exciting! 2. it's also in its infancy. 3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web. 4. the web is 100% our #1 priority. 5. so we're going to wait. 6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser. 7. we won't include ai until we know why. 8. and then it will be opt-in. 9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser. sincerely, the developers of firefox

  News must be better defended, decentralized, unownable, all parts replaceable. The current situation was preventable. Same problem the social web has. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/14/jeff-bezos-washington-post-news-not-safe

  They all say podcasting‘s open period is over and one or another huge billionaire-owned platform is the new owner of podcasting. How many times has this happened? Many. But not enough for journalism to respect the power of the people. So here we go again..
