Aw man, I spent ages working on my CSS in chrome last night only to find out this morning that the borders look rubbish in firefox :'(

acegiak: GWG left you a message on 2016-07-12 at 7:59pm UTC: Making Post Kinds Changes again
#
acegiak
I trust you, GWG
#
tantek
acegiak - what CSS properties are you using?
#
acegiak
tantek: border-style and border-color
#
tantek
acegiak - those should be quite consistent cross-browser
#
tantek
really curious now what values you're using, including width
#
acegiak
but the light highlight on inset, outset and ridged borders is way lighter than on chrome
#
tantek
yeah, the ridge/bevel border highlighting is very browser dependent
#
tantek
you may want to explore border-image
#
tantek
you can make tiny images that are tiled to make whatever detailed borders you want
#
tantek
it's quite cool
#
acegiak
oh! I hadn't heard of that!
#
acegiak
I'll check it out!
#
tantek
aaronpk do you get notified of home page webmentions?

Noticed FB is doing larger text (and emojis) for short statuses.
#
gRegorLove
It's kind of jarring scrolling through the feed.
#
gRegorLove
At first I thought it was some new algorithm thing to highlight stuff FB thoughd I'd like more, but think it's to draw more attention to tweet-length posts.

#
acegiak
GWG, I like hanging out here, life's just so busy for me these days :/
#
GWG
I understand. I thought I would try to motivate you with noting my observation of your absence.
#
acegiak
but being back on IRC is mostly to do with me wondering if weechat can solve my problem of having too many slacks and discords to pay attention to accross multiple apps
#
acegiak
GWG, it's effective
#
GWG
I use Weechat and Glowing Bear and Weechat for android.
#
acegiak
yeah it's SUPER nice for IRC
#
acegiak
I'm just wondering if it would be a boon for managing slack and discord and maybe matrix chats
#
GWG
Well, there is a Slack/IRC gateway I think.
#
GWG
How many things are you in?
#
Ruxton_
default Slack/IRC gateway is nasty at best
#
GWG
Hi, Ruxton_
#
GWG
Saw your message
#
Ruxton_
I used to use it for work, missed many rich text things that never got converted in the IRC gateway, they also don't seem too interested in fixing those things
#
GWG
I use only the WordPress slack.
#
GWG
For everything else Bitlbee
#
KevinMarks_
I am in a lot of slacks
#
Ruxton_
I cut down to the 1 i _HAVE_ to be in
#
Ruxton_
outside of that, I'm sick of opensource projects moving to closed conversation in slack
#
GWG
Ruxton_: Agreed.
#
Ruxton
there's been a running thing of orgs opening up their team slack to public for support too, so annoying, I don't want to invite myself to some orgs slack just to have a chat about a bug
#
aaronpk
there's a weechat plugin for slack! It uses the slack API directly instead of IRC. I've been trying it out
#
GWG
aaronpk: How is it?

PSA for bridgy publish twitter users! you no longer need to include in-reply-to @-mentions in your replies. thanks to the new "extended tweet" changes, bridgy and twitter now include them for you.
cweiske joined the channel
#
snarfed
(if you still include the reply @-mention, twitter right now shows *two* copies, since its own UIs haven't caught up with its changes yet. :P i expect they will eventually. background: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/703 )
#
snarfed
considers twitter-DMing all users who have bridgy published a reply in the last n months

snarfed
stops considering

#
gRegorLove
snarfed: not sure I follow. I did notice one tweet I sent with "@username" went through "@username @username", is that it?
#
gRegorLove
I thought I'd typoed the username when I posted on my site, so didn't look into it further
snarfed joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
snarfed: Double-checked. Nope, I didn't typo.
snarfed joined the channel
#
snarfed
gRegorLove: yes! that's it.
#
gRegorLove
snarfed: So it's still duplicating, or it's fixed?
#
snarfed
the fix is to stop including the @-mention on your end :/
#
snarfed
(used to be required, now it's not)
#
snarfed
i'll look into de-duping in bridgy too
#
gRegorLove
Huh, I've definitely experienced Twitter auto-adding it before (if it wasnt' included), so I always thought it was optional
snarfed and cweiske joined the channel
#
snarfed
gRegorLove: twitter's UI does auto-add. their API didn't used to, but now it does too
#
gRegorLove
I meant through the API. Maybe Bridgy was doing it?

Loqi
yay!

bear ben_thatmustbeme snarfed KevinMarks cweiske and anyone else who has been using micropub.rocks, I just pushed out an update for it that will compile your test results into an "implementation report" which is what the w3c uses to evaluate the maturity of the spec. would appreciate if you all went through and ran each test again, and then submitted a report through the site! It's all built in and should

be super easy.

gRegorLove: sorry, you're right, i misspoke. bridgy did auto-add the reply @-mention before if it wasn't there. it still does now, just through twitter, which doesn't de-dupe.

KevinMarks
gRegorLove - my usual complaint, but some of the type on indiewebify.me is so grey as to be illegible - the footer particularly, but also the subhead
#
gRegorLove
On the test version I linked?
#
gRegorLove
They should all pass WCAG now
#
KevinMarks
oh sorry, I was looking at the current one, derp
#
KevinMarks
one I just saw- not calling strip() on the url entered so a trailing space gives a curl error
dinartejesus joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
that is much better, though the font-weight: 200 on the 'lead' style is super light - 300 maybe?
#
KevinMarks
with it not being responsive, the type gets very thin on mobile when you zoom out
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, I considered updating it to Bootstrap 3, or at least adding the responsive to the current version.
#
gRegorLove
I did make some corrections to properly use the grid. Really not much of the site is leveraging bootstrap at all, so maybe we could replace with a simpler responsive CSS.
#
gRegorLove
There's a flat-ui.css file in the page, the majority of which is not being used.

aaronpk, commentpara.de does not pass many tests because it only supports replies and likes, not "normal" posts
#
aaronpk
hm interesting
#
aaronpk
i suppose these tests are definitely biased towards "normal" posts
#
cweiske
yep. commentpara.de is special interest
awolf joined the channel
#
aaronpk
cweiske: out of the features described on https://micropub.rocks/reports which ones would it pass? I'm wondering if it's worth making a way for you to manually check the boxes to fill it out rather than using the test tool.
#
cweiske
I can simply run all of them :)
#
cweiske
600 and 601 will pass
#
cweiske
the rest depends on h-entries
#
aaronpk
i meant the features, not the tests. the features describe behavior more specific than the tests but don't assume h-entry
#
cweiske
I don't support file uploads, but the rest should pass
#
cweiske
and I don't support undelete

next thing is to try someone else in the same country

is wondering if there is some odd ISP / IP / country based filtering going on by Google

private window fixes it in firefox, but not in Chrome O.O
