noticed an update to wordland
June 28, 2025 by EGO ARTIFEX

The version number for wordland.social changed.  According to the release notes it makes the blog list ranking relative to which sites you are posting to. The other changes are more about future features. It seems to be working as expected. I am writing this in Firefox so I haven't tested to see if the popup styling menu works in Safari. Maybe another post later today. It's laundry day. I have also decided to make a little bus trip to Hollywood Florida. There's a bus near my apartment that goes there. I booked a ticket. It's less than the gas and toll costs for me to drive (if I had a car). Each time I find a public transportation option or a collective travel option I think we are closer to evolving as a society. Of course the allure of owning a vehicle is always just under the surface. I wonder if that desire for one's own transportation is a strongly associated characteristic of the society I grew up in or is there a deeper need being met by having your own transport? My example is probably of no interest to most people. And I once was enamored with having a cool vehicle of my own. I was also thrilled to be able to get on a plane to anywhere and be there faster than any previous humans could imagine. Now I am more interested in how shared systems that use less energy and make less impact could solve many of our environmental and social problems. Of course it could just be me an old man dreaming.
