Is there a #wordpress #gallary #plugin that offers #flickr-style exif data integration? So I want to see images and nice visualised exif data next to them.

I cannot wait for the day that the federated web meets the #.NET framework. There are no options for .NET lovers such as myself currently in existence today. Something like , but written in ASP.NET/ASP.NET core. That would be a big project, though, I know that much.

why does reddit use a magic wand vibrator to tag the OP when they comment on a thread?...

I hope they don't. Why does everything have to be a marketing opportunity and a chance to make money?

@Gargron

twitter was expected to be the heartbeat of the internet. It could have been the pipeline through which all information flowed. Advertising and deviating from open standards killed that future. Twitter will now never be more than a just another social media platform. Social media platforms do not have to be the future of the human interfacable internet.

Biased news 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNCAcfna2W4

I think it's worth being careful about this kind of stuff and especially appearing too certain about knowing exactly what the future holds.

The biased/fake news line can easily be used by reactionaries to then go on a purge against anything which is outside of a narrow window of normativity.

Any of us old enough know that all news is biased and that it's really just a question of being what was once known as "media savvy". You may notice that right wingers are quick to write off things like academic media studies precisely for this reason, because critical analysis of stories works against their interests.

I was just looking at the musings of @Gargron yesterday, and I love his vision for the platform. What I question, though, especially considering I'm the head of a division of a company, now, no matter how small, is how that vision will be accomplished in a world of instant gratification and advertising. How will companies change their mindsets, as well as their promotion methods in order not to have to rely on the big centralized networks? Especially for startups trying desperately to get up off the ground. I would love to hear thoughts and comments on this.
