Greetings everyone. This is the Angry Systems Administrator bringing you an update on the back end of the blog. For once, nothing is catastrophically broken. However, you may have noticed a change on the share this post buttons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is a reason for this. We have been using a plugin called Sassy Social Share. It was basic, but it had the widest variety of socialist media sites. The other day I had to disable it, at least for now. The reason? A security scan notified me there was an unresolved bug in the plugin that might allow bad things to happen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I spent a few hours researching other sharing plugins and finally landed on one called Share Buttons & AI-powered summaries. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t have links to MeWe, Gab or GETTR. What it does have are connectors to several AI services. I\u2019ve been playing around with it and trying out the various AI systems. The results are\u2026.interesting to say the least.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying out the various AI connectors. All of them, at least in regards to the Angry Idiot<\/i><\/span> Webmaster state this this is political commentary, which is accurate. However, the way the AI’s are reporting indicates to me that they are…disappointed. Some of the AI platforms appear to be partisan in their responses. Others appear to be trying to be neutral. I\u2019ll let you test them out and decide for yourselves.<\/p>\n

There are several Social Media platforms that I have not activated. I really see no reason to connect this to LinkedIn for instance. That is supposed to be a business site and there is nothing businesslike about the Angry Buffoon<\/i><\/span> Webmaster. (I really hope the Angry Webmaster finds a new job soon. My supply of coffee is dropping daily) A couple of other Social Media platforms are one\u2019s that I have never heard of. These would be Raindrop, Mastodon and Line. I also didn\u2019t include Pinterest since I see that is a picture\/video site. If you think these should be included, leave a comment.<\/p>\n

On the AI selections, I left out DeepSeek, Mistral AI, Perplexity and Qwen. Again, I don\u2019t know anything about them so I didn\u2019t select them. If you think they should be included. Just leave a comment and we will look into it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another feature of the plugin, which I\u2019m finding rather interesting, is the Analytic module. From what I\u2019m seeing, it doesn\u2019t include any personal information or locations. Just numbers, what app button was used and which posting it was used under. I consider these to be \u201cNice to haves\u201d and nothing critical.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to find out if Sassy Social Share is going to be updated. It no longer appears in the plugin repository and the web site is loading nothing but a blank page. It won\u2019t be the first plugin we\u2019ve used that was no longer supported. I\u2019ve removed it to fully clear the security message I’ve been seeing. I will keep looking at the various social media sharing apps, concentrating on one that don\u2019t cost anything. You may see multiple and repetitive social media buttons showing up and disappearing as I try out different plugins. For now, we will be using Share Buttons & AI-powered summaries for the time being.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n
