@drupal is trying to grow their audience in the #fediverse

"We're actively building presence on Mastodon and Bluesky, platforms that align with our open-source values. We’ll give it 6 months of effort and see if we can grow audiences, and then re-assess.

"If either platform reaches 5,000 followers, we’ll promote them to being a priority platform. We’d love to see them become our preferred platforms."

Help us get Drupal off the birdsite!

#followfriday #OpenSource

We have seen the exact same bug previously in ChatGPT, Google Bard, Writer.com, Amazon Q, Google NotebookLM, Slack, Google AI Studio, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral LeChat, xAI Grok, Claude and now GitLab - I've been collecting examples here https://simonwillison.net/tags/exfiltration-attacks/

I don't do a lot of self promotion but here's a polite reminder that I've got availability for freelance #Drupal work and I provide hosting as well. Just got this feedback from a client a few minutes ago:

"The sites have been performing brillantly lately coping very well with our busiest ever month and better than expected traffic!" 😊

Best current option looks like extending https://www.drupal.org/project/field_attribute to support spellcheck attribute

So as any fule kno, you can set a spellcheck="true" attribute in html5 for a textarea to be spellchecked by the browser without needing any other cleverness.

I thought someone would have created a module to add this as an option in Manage Form Display but can't find one if there is one. Anyone know if there's one I'm missing before I do something silly like write one?

By the way, I still think this paragraph I wrote is a pretty good paragraph.

Generate code for multiple hooks classes for your module, each with injected services, with Module Builder 4.1.0. Specify values for the tokens in hook names (e.g. 'hook_form_FORM_ID_alter'), and add multiple copies of the same hook. https://www.drupal.org/project/module_builder #Drupal

It’s #WilliamShakespeare’s birthday today, and to celebrate, I’d like to share my favourite #Shakespeare quote:

Just announced at Drupal Dev Days Leuven: #DrupalDevDays will be in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 next year in april - @ddd #DrupalDevDaysAthens2026

People with pets in countries today fuck about with their clocks... Do you adjust mealtimes accordingly after the clock changes or just explain it to them 🤔

Anyone looking for a Drupal savvy content designer? Key Blazier (https://www.linkedin.com/in/keyblazier/) will soon be an ex-colleague of mine and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Pretty gutted tbh.

@jpoesen
Epic beans!

Holy wowsers, after going bouldering by myself at a bunch of Drupal events - Dev Days this year has bouldering on the official schedule!

It would appear that we are still experiencing the issue of images not showing up for some users of the Drupal Community instance. I'm pretty sure the fix involves adding a new nginx container as proxy for assets.drupal.community so we serve the statics from a subdomain rather than directly from S3: https://github.com/Drupal-Mastodon/mastodon/issues/5

Is there someone in the room that could help with this? :)

@airadam
Me too dude. Me too.
Recent weeks have felt too optimistic in the online echo chambers. I remember thinking he couldn't possibly win in 2016.

Thoughts are definitely with everyone living through this over there ❤️

lol. Matt Mullenweg told Automattic employees "if you don't like me, quit" and 159 (8%) did https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/04/159-employees-are-leaving-automattic-as-ceos-fight-with-wp-engine-escalates/
