Worth Reading – WordPress debuts a private workspace that runs in your browser via a new service, my.WordPress.net

This is actually interesting:

WordPress’s new browser-based service lets users create private sites without hosting or signing up, turning the platform into a personal workspace for writing, research, and AI tools.

It’s all stored in the browser, which carries some risk of computer crashes, but they claim to have backup and transfer mechanisms. It could provide a playground or personal knowledge base, complete with some AI, without worrying about it being stored in the cloud, because you can’t share it. It can be a place to play with WordPress design and experimentation without the need for hosting or for it to be available on the public internet.

Would you try it? What use case would you have for it?

I’m probably going to give it a go, mostly as a tool for research and knowledge, since WordPress is something I’m already familiar with. Hopefully, that familiarity makes it a little easier than some other tools that require a learning curve to configure properly.

We’ll see.

  • Stolen Data is a Risk, Here’s an Example of Altered Data That is Worse

    The entire system is based on the license plate database being connected to all of the automated plate readers. All it took for this to become a problem was for part of that not to stay safe. Since the license plate database isn’t, anyone can create a fake license plate, pop it on a similar-looking vehicle, and the collected data is tainted. All those people who had nothing to hide now have a system that assumes they were driving illegally, causing accidents, etc. They are facing actual fines, increased insurance costs, and possible arrests because of surveillance data that’s been hacked. Data that should show them as innocent but false information has been injected into it.
