# 00:37 aaronpk hmm quoting tweets seems to not count against the limit either
# 00:37 tantek what about the auto-quoting/embedding behavior?
# 00:37 tantek e.g. if you link to a tweet, Twitter presents it as an embed, kind of like a quoted tweet
# 00:38 aaronpk including a link to a tweet in a tweet does count against it. it only doesn't count against it when you use the UI to open the QT dialog
# 00:41 aaronpk "The new attachment_url parameter on the POST statuses/update endpoint will enable valid link formats to be attached to a Tweet. They will not count against the character limit when this method is used."

# 01:04 Loqi A scrobble (AKA a listen) is a passive type of post used to publish a song (music or audio track, including concert recordings or DJ sets etc.) that you have listened to https://indieweb.org/listen
# 01:05 KevinMarks Activity Streams initially tried to use "play" as the generic, as that covered audio, video and games
# 01:05 tantek that makes no sense to me as the level of "activity" is very different in all three
# 01:06 KevinMarks Yes, it doesn't make sense in retrospect, but I remember arguing for it at the time to reduce verb proliferation
# 01:07 tantek the better way to reduce proliferation would have been to be more disciplined about documenting real world examples
# 01:07 tantek as it is, a bunch of pseudo-docs ended up on the AS mailing list
# 01:07 tantek because given email, the natural tendency is for people to faffa about on email
# 01:07 tantek instead of attempting to collaborate on wiki pages
# 01:09 tantek Martin did good work, tried to keep up with documenting it

# 14:05 Zegnat remembers he should probably file an issue for granary when he is done wikifying Brighton
tantek joined the channel
# 14:12 Zegnat tantek and I were demoing hfeed-to-atom and granary did not pick-up on tantek being the author of the items on tantek.com
# 14:17 snarfed aha. granary uses mf2util for those things, so you may want to file the bug there
# 14:20 Loqi I added a countdown scheduled for 2016-10-02 4:20am CEST (#5922)
# 14:34 Zegnat Only end-of-IWC demo left to write up is petermolnar’s. On which my notes are completely illegible. Time to watch the stream.
# 14:56 snarfed done, bridgy publish now supports new extended tweet char counting
# 14:59 Zegnat All the end-of-IWC Brighton demos have now been written-up on the wiki :D

# 15:44 GWG I have been thinking about Indieauth as an authentication provider for the WordPress REST API infrastructure
# 15:46 GWG Of course, understanding Indieauth is probably a prerequisite for writing that.
snarfed joined the channel
# 16:19 snarfed GWG: wordpress-micropub implements indieauth, you should be able to copy its code pretty much unchanged
# 16:44 GWG snarfed: So does the Indieauth plugin. I'll figure it out. But I figured that having that would allow for a lot more options.
# 16:45 GWG snarfed: I still might see about a branch of Micropub at some point that uses the built-in infrastructure that wasn't available when the plugin was written. But I'm working on connecting other dots at the moment.

# 17:05 KevinMarks1 gillmor gang time
# 17:34 GWG One of these days I will watch that show
# 17:42 Zegnat I can't hear the name of that show without thinking gilmore girls
# 17:50 GWG If KevinMarks guests on that, I will be surprised
# 17:56 Zegnat GWG, that would definitely an episode I would watch
# 17:59 GWG I need to build enough tools to get out of there.

# 19:24 GWG Kongaloosh: YEG is supposedly nice though.
# 19:25 GWG I hear it has the continent's largest mall.
# 19:26 Kongaloosh GWG: I don't know how I feel about it yet; it has a good AI lab though, soooooo...
# 19:26 GWG And the Canadian Finals Rodeo and Farmfair are coming up next month.

# 19:36 GWG On that note, we should probably switch to #indiechat or turn back to HWC, IWC, Indieweb, etc.
