I put the entire description for the Lampton coat of arms into Sora to see if it could generate a stained glass pattern. Incredible results. Attached are the notarized description, a commissioned drawing we inherited, and the Sora output.

Hi all! 👋 I was laid off and am looking for my next senior front end developer role. I have 19+ years of experience working with small agencies and Fortune 500 companies and focus on writing clean, accessible HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Resume: aubreysambor.com/resume/ Leads/reposts appreciated!

Join us at Backdrop LIVE later this week, April 3-4. It's a twice a year online event for people who love working with Backdrop CMS or those who are curious about it. Also for those who want to meet the community. events.backdropcms.org

Turns out a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX can haul 1 ton. *Should it*?

I'm excited to be participating in @fldrupal.camp later this month. Lots of great sessions! I'll be leading "Back(drop) to the Future" to outline some reasons that make Backdrop a great choice for certain types of projects. More info here: www.fldrupal.camp/session/back... #BackdropCMS #Drupal

We just released the preview version of Backdrop CMS 1.30.0. github.com/backdrop/bac... The official release date is Jan 15th, but this is your chance to get sneak peek and help us test the many new features included. This will be the 30th feature release of Backdrop CMS.

I was informed by friend @sugaroverflow.com that I can import my Twitter history via blueark.app. Her feed looks comprehensive so I'm giving it a shot. Don't mind the 3 year gap since I last tweeted.

Hello Bluesky! I heard there's a lot more activity here recently so I'm checking in. Can't wait to put years of content on a new platform that will eventually succumb to capitalism.

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?

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:...

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! https://events.backdropcms.org/discussions/entity-reference-is-now-in-core-what-next

We completed merging Entity Reference into #BackdropCMS core today! https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1301 Huge thank you to all our community, the 20+ developers that worked on the consolidation, and the original authors of the #Drupal module.

After today's responses from @FSF and Richard Stallman, I wish http://rms-open-letter.github.io was still accepting signatures. With the current FSF board, things are shaking down how signatories predicted. The whole board needs to go.

Extremely helpful video on why you shouldn't try to pick a vaccine based on the efficacy rate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3odScka55A Great job @voxdotcom

I really appreciate this excellent post on the pressures and process of being a #BackdropCMS core committer from Peter Anderson (BWPanda). It's a great insight into the role. https://backdropcms.org/news/life-as-a-backdrop-cms-core-committer

We're having an online event to learn about #BackdropCMS starting Thursday! This event has distributed times for global participation. Register and attend a session or two! Donation is optional. https://backdrop-live.backdropcms.org/

The recent @lullabot article that covers @backdropcms includes a number of statements I think are inaccurate. We're working a set of corrections.

Awesome endorsement in our Backdrop forum today: "I am happy to work with Backdrop CMS, I already have full trust in the community and in the future of the system and promote the system among all my acquaintances, customers, and...

Sometimes reviewing code can be demoralizing for me. "Sorry, needs tests. Sorry, whitespace. Sorry just doesn't work." But sometimes you get 10 perfect PRs in a row. And that feels awesome! Emptied out the #backdropcms RTBC queue. Woot!

This has been in the works for a while as we decentralize and diversify Backdrop's leadership! I'm leaving the Backdrop PMC but sticking with core committing. With 1.16 around the corner and new PMC members, its a great time in the Backdrop...

Our cat came home after 23 hours in the wild. First time for this 2 yr old had us all in a tizzy. Turns out calling cat name while tinking food can: doesn't work. Sitting on porch for 3 hours at dusk in casual conversation, cat shows up.

Hey @united (cc @aaronstash) what happened to your program to purchase carbon offsets _with miles_? Given the choice for free flights or a clean travel I'll take the latter every time. #ecoskies

Today marks *13 years* at @lullabot! Thanks team, you are the best!

Bash scripting is so bad. I'd rather be using Perl.

Old Anto Printing building which was being converted to condos across the street from my home went up in flames. Thanks to @OaklandFireDep for fast response and limiting neighborhood damage #oakland #fire https://photos.app.goo.gl/hmixVUgJJwWoLzbA8

I must have missed it when @GitterHQ merged into @GitLab, very cool! And now entirely Open Source! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/ Gitter seems to have stalled recently but the future may be bright for Open Source projects using it.

@sugaroverflow ❤️❤️❤️ #WeLoveYouFatima #HeartsOverflow

Had my car broken into last night. Right in front of my house. Instead of being mad, I was simply proud I had the club on and didn't have anything of value to steal. #oakland
