# 00:00 kylewm which I think means you're just posting a tweet with a link to another tweet at the end
bengo joined the channel
# 00:00 tantek kylewm that's correct 116 + space + 23 chars for an https tco URL
# 00:01 tantek pretty sure this "just works" if you "just" embed a tweet permalink in your tweet
# 00:03 tantek you're sure you didn't set explicit in-reply-to-id to get that threading?!?
# 00:03 kylewm tantek: hmm, mine doens't show up as in-reply-to benwerd's
# 00:04 benwerd tantek: I'm checking my code just to make sure there's no bug, but I didn't, no
# 00:04 tantek this looks like it shipped a little half-baked
# 00:06 benwerd the link is included, as opposed to tumblr-style, which would probably be more interesting, or some other UI element
# 00:06 tantek gives me something where clicking on the embed DOES NOTHING
# 00:07 tantek even though it could have easily statically linked to the embeded permalink :P
# 00:07 tantek because in "normal" tweets where you include a link to another tweet - that link IS CLICKABLE without JS

# 00:08 gRegor` Twitter on iPad has given a "quote" or native "retweet" option for ages when you click the RT icon.
# 00:08 gRegor` It's been rather annoying that Android didn't have that.
# 00:09 gRegor` So it sounds like they just brought that function to web version?
# 00:09 gRegor` Where, rhiaro?
# 00:09 gRegor` No dialog when I click RT icon, just RTs it.
# 00:10 rhiaro When I tap retweet I get a dialog that offers Quote, Retweet or Cancel
# 00:11 gRegor` Ok, don't mind me...
# 00:11 tantek kylewm: I've verified that there's no sign of your quoted tweet on the original from benwerd
# 00:12 gRegor` No idea how I've missed it. Think I just got used to it not having it and overlooked "Quote" on the left there.
# 00:12 kylewm gRegor`: quote previously did something like "my comment RT @gregor original post" right?
# 00:12 tantek even a disadvantage compared to just RT - which *does* add to the RT count and shows your icon among the facepile of those retweeting
bengo joined the channel
# 00:12 tantek and a *reply* is even better as you get threaded under the tweet
# 00:12 gRegor` Quote, on Android and iOS afaik just populated the author twitter name and text, all surrounded in quotes.
# 00:12 tantek thus I suppose a quote tweet is when you want to fork and start a new thread?
# 00:12 gRegor` So you could manually cut off the quotes and add an "RT" to manually RT
# 00:12 tantek since it clearly disconnects it from the original
# 00:13 tantek which is kind of sad in the hypertexty kind of way
# 00:13 tantek it would be better to see quotes of a tweet *from* the tweet
# 00:14 tantek rhiaro: congrats - you appear to shipped the 10th server implementation of micropub
# 00:15 Loqi tantek meant to say: rhiaro: congrats - you appear to have shipped the 10th server implementation of micropub
# 00:15 tantek gRegor`: what's new is that they no longer show a link to the tweet and thus you can't click on it when you have no JS
# 00:16 kylewm oh but you're saying the link used to show up
# 00:16 kylewm sort of like how they phased out links to photos when the photo is embedded
# 00:17 gRegor` So with JS off is there nothing clickable?
# 00:17 gRegor` With JS on I can click the embedded tweet.
# 00:17 tantek right - JS off = nothing clickable in the embed
# 00:18 tantek I feel like you have to *try* to screw up something that obvious
# 00:18 Loqi tantek meant to say: too many JS-only engineers
# 00:18 gRegor` Think this will cause a rise in Twitter flirting, given the QTs going around?
# 00:19 gRegor` benwerd: Do you get a notification for me quoting your tweet?
# 00:22 kylewm me thinks they just institutionalized subtweeting
# 00:22 gRegor` I believe it does notify you.
# 00:22 gRegor` Before embedding happened, I know some people would link a tweet so they could callout or otherwise subtweet, but then Twitter started notifying people of those too.
# 00:23 gRegor` So it seems like QT is just a shortcut for pasting the link in now

KevinMarks_ joined the channel
# 00:25 tantek gRegor`: are you volunteering to help co-organize?
# 00:25 gRegor` Doh. Should have screencapped that, kylewm. Yes, I got "Kyle quoted you and said..." in my phone notifications. And it shows up in my Twitter notifications tab.
# 00:26 gRegor` I mostly wanted to have it on my calendar so I could plan for it.
# 00:27 tantek gRegor`: if you have constraints or suggestions, you could edit /2015 accordingly
# 00:28 gRegor` I've voted on there :)

# 01:20 aaronpk Oh man better start putting that into my mental model of the next few months
# 01:21 tantek aaronpk - I'm not going to OSBridge because I have a conflict that whole week
# 01:21 aaronpk Yeah I don't think we need to "ride the osbridge momentum" like we did in the past
# 01:22 aaronpk I haven't even looked at what dates osbridge is yet
# 01:24 tantek one question is - do we want to stick with the Saturday / Sunday format, or should we try shifting to a weekday or two? e.g. ThF or FSa?
# 01:25 tantek the thinking would be - it would be nice to have a day or two after to just have the weekend in Portland
# 01:26 tantek aaronpk - wait you take quantified self conferences seriously? aren't they just big marketing / sales driven things to sell people devices to put data into silos that they forget about?
# 01:26 tantek (my experience has been that very few in the QS conf scene actually selfdogfood any QS themselves)
# 01:26 tantek (so much so that it's just an excuse to sell people crap)
# 01:26 tantek (to make them *feel* like they are doing QS - but no one actually has a hold on their data)
# 01:26 aaronpk Oh there's plenty of selfdogfooding. People take that stuff very seriously and often have very interesting projects/outcomes
# 01:27 aaronpk But the data ownership part is a very sad state right now
# 01:27 tantek hmm - gonna need some citations to that "plenty of selfdogfooding"
# 01:29 aaronpk Also quantified self != web, but the data ownership stuff overlaps a lot

# 01:38 tantek people that could stay an extra day for day 1 of IWC

# 14:57 GWG Petermolnar, iy adds the map and the geo coordinates to the content
# 14:57 GWG The alternative is just the textual location description

# 14:58 GWG I have a way to disable that if the theme wants to place it.
# 15:00 GWG Okay. But you have already helped. May need to change the text
# 15:01 GWG Petermolnar, UI changes required.
# 15:02 GWG Petermolnar, map code needs a rewrite. I want to sideload the map.
# 15:03 GWG Then it can be managed by the media library code
# 15:04 GWG Petermolnar, that was what I was trying for. Simple

# 19:03 tantek aaronpk - it would be useful if we could conditionally modify the "all contributions to IndieWebCamp are considered to be released under the a CC0 public domain dedication" on the wiki edit page template to also include OWFa for "specs" (things with a spec template?)
