the only downside of using Slack is the double unfurl of Twitter urls

I wouldn't say that is the only downside of slack :P

does this irc chat duplicate the slack channel?

and vice versa

When posting a photo via micropub, is there a way to include alt text?
[pfefferle], eli_oat and [eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie]
"photo": [
#
[eddie]
"value": "https://photos.example.com/globe.gif",

"alt": "Spinning globe animation"

This isn't completely finalized though. There is an issue open here: https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/2#issuecomment-236712535
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] Of the current options in the brainstorming section, everyone who has commented there agrees on the following: - If a u-\* property is parsed on an <img> element with a non-empty 'alt' attribute, then: - Create a structure similar to the e-content...
#
snarfed
yeah i've been waiting on mf2py support for that for ages, for consuming. whee. https://github.com/tommorris/mf2py/issues/83
#
Loqi
[snarfed] #83 include img alt text in photo property
#
snarfed
(friendly nudge tommorris :P)
#
aaronpk
Yeah we should really finalize that

I just realized why I haven't gotten in the habit of using Indigenous yet... I need to get my Micropub endpoint set up to like things on twitter when I'm liking a tweet url
#
sknebel
no bridgy syndication for that?
#
aaronpk
I'd still need to trigger it
friedcell and [miklb] joined the channel
#
tantek
there is Bridgy Publish support for liking tweets - it's what I use for that (instead of the Twitter API)
#
aaronpk
*how* I like tweets is not the problem, the problem is I need to trigger whatever that publishing mechanism is in the first place
#
aaronpk
silo.pub can also do it via micropub
tantek and [eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie]
Yeah, I need to get that set up in my micropub endpoint as well. Right now it's kind of a hassle, because I do the micropub request, and then after my jekyll rebuilds, I go to the page and send a manual webmention via telegraph to bridgy publish.
#
[eddie]
It's gonna feel like a whole new world when I finish adding silo.pub support to my micropub endpoint

What is Untappd?
#
Loqi
Untappd is a social silo for posting consumptions of beer (which they call "Check-ins" to beers) and optionally any or all of where (venue, thus making it an actual checkin), 1-5 star rating, photo, or review commentary https://indieweb.org/Untappd
snarfed joined the channel
#
Zegnat
just has a shared Google Photos album with pictures of ciders and reviews
#
gRegorLove
A friend of mine is very close to the Untappd badge for 10,000 unique beer checkins
#
gRegorLove
I kind of cringe for him if the app ever dies.

#
raretrack
we have a few beer-recording siloes here in UKland, I've never really used them for that reason: risk of lock-in and site death
#
tantek_
clearly worth discussing at Homebrew Website Club
#
gRegorLove
It is nice that Untappd has RSS at least, and we have two examples of using that for PESOS
#
aaronpk
as much as I'd love to do that, the amount of data entry work required is beyond me
#
raretrack
it was beyond this chap too. he had a beer website from 1999 to this year, when it became impossible to keep up. and this is just for one locale: http://beermad.web-brewer.co.uk/closedown.html
#
Zegnat
Hmm, I do want to start tracking what I drink (thus the Photos album). I spent an hour not too long ago looking for what cider I drank at IWC Brighton. Would’ve helped if I had my own data on it.
#
gRegorLove
What is Teacup?
#
Loqi
Teacup is a Micropub client for posting various types of food posts to any server supporting Micropub https://indieweb.org/Teacup
#
gRegorLove
Wow, 60000 beers on that Beermad site. Impressive.
#
Zegnat
Yes, I’ll probably start using Teacup when my micropub endpoint is live :D
#
Zegnat
(Turned out I can’t get the Brighton Cider in Sweden anyway, so my search was for naught :( )
#
gRegorLove
Should point Jason Scott / Archive Team to it so it gets archived thoroughly.

sometimes Twitter only puts some of the @-names in a canoe into the "Replying to ... " reply-context of a tweet, and leaves some in the content area of the reply - not sure why - example: https://twitter.com/t/status/941771775788175360
#
tantek
^^^ you can't tell from there you have to look at the web view
#
tantek
anybody seen this and/or have any insight as to why?
#
snarfed
tantek: i'm guessing that's the difference between just replying to people vs explicitly including their @-names in the tweet text
#
Loqi
snarfed: dgold left you a message 3 hours, 31 minutes ago: thanks for filing that bug on karabiner-elements
#
snarfed
dgold: huh, sure. which? sticky modifiers?
#
dgold
the "this damned thing doesn't work on High Sierra" one
#
Loqi
[snarfed] #743 new extended tweets broke ability to @-reply publicly
#
snarfed
ah lol yes
#
tantek
snarfed - not quite - I'd accept that if it was nothing in reply-contextbut that's not what's happening
raretrack joined the channel
#
tantek
snarfed, here's another example where Twitter put all my (10!) @-s into the reply-context https://twitter.com/t/status/941715520021323776
#
tantek
(again you have to view it on the web)
#
snarfed
ah, so you mean, they sometimes collapse explicit @-names from text into reply context, but not consistently?
#
tantek
in the former example Twitter put 5 of the @-s into the reply-context, and listed 10 more in the content
#
tantek
why that split I have no idea. I checked and in my original content all the @-s are in a strict space-delimited sequence
#
snarfed
and the text you sent to twitter's API is exactly what's in your post, in both cases?

hello everyone... I have a ghost blog and I would like to use webmentions on it, do you know what's the best way to go?

Just generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2017-12-15.html
#

ElMago[m]1: welcome! looks like we're not aware of ghost supporting webmentions so far: https://indieweb.org/Ghost
#
ElMago[m]1
ah ok... I read something about themes being able to support it

oh yeah, newsletter day!

Sending them, don't think that's been implemented (or isn't known to us yet)
