Vibe-coding versus Open Source - Security over the long haul
Vibe-coding is all the rage today. Who needs a developer when you can get an AI to develop an application for you? There are scads of application development tools now that promise to create that app you always wanted -- and surprisingly, these often work!

Sustainable Business and AI
Call me a radical, but I don't think a handful of billionaires controlling the majority of a country's wealth is a good thing. I don't think the ultra-wealthy need more benefits at the expense of everyone else.

🕵️♂️ Privacy for website owners, and introducing 💧 Drupal CMS
January 2025
Happy New Year!
This month we're doing a deep dive into privacy. Privacy for website owners, privacy for you, privacy for the world. To cap it all off, we have a special Privacy Tune-up offer to make sure your privacy policy is accurate and covering your assets...
And if that's not enough, it's a big week for Drupal -- see below for why!
Automatically send notifications to a Matrix chat room
When you work on a team, it's useful to have notifications go to a chat room where you can coordinate any necessary action. Reviewing a comment before publishing, seeing stories as they are written, getting notified of new orders are the kinds of things we like having in a shared room.
Automatically add images
Today's website designs tend to use photos and images to make them look good. If you have your own photography or in-house illustrator, that's almost always going to give you the best result. But if you don't, this is something that can be automated with Drupal's AI module.
The AI Pixabay Automator can search Pixabay for relevant stock images that are free to use, and attach them to an image field.
The AI Image Generator can take your content and feed it into an image generator.

Software we're grateful for #1 - Matrix
In the spirit of the holidays, we're doing a few posts on Free/Open Source projects that we use every day, that isn't what we sell.

Picking a technology for internal use
The only kinds of proprietary software Freelock actually pays for are development and testing tools – tools we use to actually create our work products, or provide us with access to tools we otherwise can’t support (e.g. testing across a bunch of browsers we don’t have).

Basecamp moves from Medium to WordPress, and kinda misses the point
Software as a Service (SaaS) is all the rage these days.
