Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.

It’s your weekly review of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. We aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

I’m the maintainer of the CSS Naked Day module for Backdrop CMS. Based on how my personal site is currently rendering (correctly without CSS), it looks like it’s working today! #BackdropCMS #CSSNakedDay https://backdropcms.org/project/naked

@BKaernel in fact, I totally switched to #BackdropCMS - it's a much better fit for my sort of projects. And still flexible enough for a lot more than "just" simple Websites.

@elfin have you heard of the term "Drupalism" - this seems to be one. 😁

In fact, you can turn that just off, but then you need a theme, that shows both, frontend pages and admin pages in a pretty way. Not all themes do in #BackdropCMS. Didn't look at Drupal in a while.

A "lightweight" alternative is to turn off using the admin theme for content creation. In fact, I always turn that off on my sites for better user experience. 😉 That setting can be found on /admin/appearance (both CMSes).

After seeing this post: https://fosstodon.org/@stpaultim/116139177428920542 I discovered #backdropcms.

I looked at #drupal a while ago when #wordpress (enjoy hashtags?) was looking like it was going downhill but it seemed odd, and I couldn't say why.

I hadn't heard of this one before, though it seems like it's been around for a while and has a good community around it.

Bonus! I found it in my #yunohost server so going to take it for a spin.

@blogdiva can't say anything about the other CMS, but...
"#BackdropCMS should do" sounds a bit odd to me. If you want a feature, create it.
Backdrop is an #OpenSource web CMS. No platform or company, it's software built and maintained by a community. So, Backdrop - as software - doesn't "do"... 😆

No ActivityPub implementation, but a module to publish to Mastondon, hence the Fediverse, by writing blog posts exists: https://backdropcms.org/project/mastotoot 😉

“Open Web”

it is not lost on me that the VC-backed #Drupal leadership jumped on the #AIslop bandwagon with this REDUNDANT DrupalCMS conceit; but nary a peep about what would make sense for the project: turn Drupal into an #ActivityPub framework for building different #fediverse webapps.

Drupal isn't the open-source mess Wordpress became; but it’s been a thing to watch how the capitalists set the priorities.

#BackdropCMS should do what Drupal won't: become a framework for AP webapps.

#Drupal (qui est basé sur @symfony) c'est super mais ce n'est pas forcement adapté pour des petits projets. J'ai découvert cette alternative @backdropcms. C'est la même chose que Drupal mais en plus simple. Mon prochain site, je pense à le faire avec... Avis aux amateurs ! #cms #webdev #backdropcms #symfony

#Substack users: are you ever worried about being deplatformed? Here I'm thinking of Substack temporarily or permanently shutting down your account because of government pressure.

I'm still using my same old #WordPress and #BackdropCMS blogs because I worry that using someone else's service could cause me to lose my platform, content, list of subscribers and other important info.

There being Backdrop CMS versions 1.31.2 and 1.32.1 simultaneously feels like an Amélie “Bretodeau”/“Bredoteau” situation. #BackdropCMS

The initial release of CSS Naked Day for Backdrop is out. It relies on a third-party JavaScript library, which is fairly dated, and the hope is to dit the effectively the same thing just using Backdrop. #CSSNakedDay #BackdropCMS https://backdropcms.org/project/naked

Just checking to see if we’re allowed to talk about Backdrop here. The sole proprietor of this account made two contributed module releases today, and is hoping to promote them a little bit. #BackdropCMS

#backdropcms Frage an die deutschsprachige Community: Wie kann man in Backdrop eine Anzeige der "am meisten populären / gelesenen" Seiten / Blogeinträge hinbekommen? Das "statistics - Modul" von Drupal scheint es ja dort nicht zu geben?
Danke für Hinweise!

Thanks to everyone for another successful #Midcamp. I am quite honored to have been at every in-person Midcamp since the first in 2014 (9 in total). It's been fun to watch this event evolve and contribute as I have been able. Already looking forward to next year. #Drupal #BackdropCMS

Got to play an hour of Whirly Ball (bumper car basketball) with friends here in Chicago tonight during the #Timberwolves disaster. It definitely reduced the sting a bit. #Midcamp #Drupal #BackdropCMS

Dries is here at #midcamp giving a Fireside chat. #Drupal #BackdropCMS A lot of talk about the "Maker/Taker" problem and sustainability.

Cool. I've managed to fix four problems (that I know are there, so it's driving me bug-fuck, but nobody else would notice) on my vanity site.

*Now* I can move forward with adding some visual elements that do nothing but are snarky and aesthetically pleasing.

Doing this in my theme is going to be interesting (years ago I used #BootStrap and this would have been trivial).

Still thinking about my "Reading Now" content type so I can post books I'm reading.
