petermolnar is anyone aware of a working flickr re-uploader? Any programming language would do.
#
petermolnar Basically I'm trying to regenerate the uploaded images and I really don't want to do it one by one by hand.

Zegnat Oooh, Indigenous is mentioned in the F-Droid ‘This Week In…’ :D
#
Zegnat Ow, this was March 1... how come I didn’t see this before :/
#
Jeremycherfas Since automating posts of podcasts I've listened to, I have become much more aware of how variable the summaries provided by the podcasts are.
#
cweiske maybe they sent your app's homepage a webmention and you did not notice it :)
#
Jeremycherfas I think I catch most of them :)
#
cweiske I meant Zegnat, sorry
#
Jeremycherfas No problem.
#
Zegnat He, would have gone to swentel then, who has built the app ;)
#
swentel oh interesting
#
swentel it's really a dedicated entry
#
swentel because I didn't write that part
#
Zegnat They always highlight a couple of apps that were updated. In this case Indigenous was included in the 10 highlights from the 64 apps that received updates
#
swentel sweet
#
swentel working on MicroG integration now for location, I would expect to show it up again then :)
#
Zegnat :D
#
swentel and push notifications are coming soon too
#
swentel this is going to rock
#
swentel anyone who has IndieAuth will be able to login into a service
#
swentel then connect in indigenous to register their device
#
swentel and then send push notifications via micropub

[jgmac1106] Swentel I know you are an f-droid person been playing with Trackbook
#
swentel What's Trackbook?

Zegnat Trackbook looked interesting, but I didn’t get the feeling it would do passive tracking so I skipped it

[jgmac1106] Just recorded my way to work on trackbook and I got a better parking map for IWC

[jgmac1106] Though I have no idea what i would do with a gpx file or what that is, but it is good trip data

#
Zegnat [jgmac1106]: GPX is just a file containing the GPS data points that you recorded. Mostly useful for rendering into maps, I think

[tantek] Interesting question and some answers re: open web / indie web — feel free to chime in with your positive contributions! https://twitter.com/helenhousandi/status/1110905221717417992
#
@helenhousandi I will probably regret asking this but I need to flesh out thoughts for a talk proposal so: what does the open web mean to you? (twitter.com/_/status/1110905221717417992)

GWG I seem to bue buying domains again
#
jmac Just today joined a local writers club here in Providence, with a really impressive downtown co-working space and board/meeting rooms that members can reserve for any "writing-related" purpose. Head-gears are turning for how I might be able to try basing some southern New England IndieWeb activity here (perhaps focusing on the actual content part, blogging and such), once my schedule frees up a bit (probably around June).

GWG Hi, jmac. Doing anything this weekend?
#
GWG It's only a short trip to New Haven
#
[jgmac1106] jmac you know I am tied into the URI crowd and the PVD WordPress Meet Up group is pretty big
#
jmac I'm probably committed to chasing deadlines for the next several weekends
#
[jgmac1106] I already tried to fenagle jmac....without Dead Rabbit we don't have the draw
#
jmac But thank you for the invite. :)
#
[jgmac1106] ....we do have a quiet hack day great for deadlines.....justsayin
#
jmac Well, what's the link? If I get fed up and wanna hop on a train and yell about microformats for a few hours just to clear my sinuses I may come
#
jmac I am hellbent on finishing and shipping the project I agreed to do for my nonprofit literally weeks before I discovered and had my brain eaten by IndieWeb just about this time last year. I'll feel much more free to come to and/or launch IW stuff after that is all done
#
[tantek] what are people's experiences with untagging UIs?

[tantek] lol and that sounds like dev 😛

#
Zegnat Not sure if you consider it part of the untagging UI, [tantek], but I have sometimes found untagging on FB a little counter intuitive. That is: untagging as in removing ones name tag from a photo.
#
Zegnat Not only does it mean that the tag is gone for everyone (including for the person who originally tagged you, and may have done so to remember seeing you at an event or similar) but it also means nobody can add you again (which indirectly leaks the fact that you were once tagged and then untagged).
#
Zegnat I also think there is a huge disconnect in reasons for untagging from photos on Facebook, that all are lumped in the same thing. Did you just not want your name clickable? Or maybe you didn’t want the photo to show in “Photos of You”? Or maybe it really wasn’t you in the photo? Do all those options really mean the same thing?
#
Zegnat Woops, that became more of a thought dump then I intended!
#
[eddie] I think that is a good summary though, Zegnat! That is definitely an overloaded feature
#
Zegnat If someone were to send me an “untag” request for a checkin they were part of, at most this is probably going to lead to me hiding their name. Since I probably tagged the person for a reason and want to keep that data point visible to myself (e.g. to answer the question who all went out for spätzle in Berlin). Should I then communicate to the requestee somehow that I hid the data but didn’t delete it? Do they not need to know that?
#
Zegnat suddenly feels the urge to hide “with …” on the one public post he made that included that datapoint
#
[tantek] Excellent questions Zegnat
#
[tantek] I think minimum good practice for the receiver of such a request would be to remove such a tag from any public display of posts
#
[tantek] perhaps in your private view, you could keep it with some indication next to it that it is hidden per request of the person
#
[tantek] that indication could even link to the permalink of their removal request
#
[tantek] sometimes removal of a tag is not enough, I've had people ask me to remove entire photos too (or make them private)
chrisaldrich joined the channel
#
[tantek] Zegnat, another similar feature is location tagging (or removal of)
#
[tantek] harder to "authenticate", yet if someone wanted to request that you remove a location tag from say, photos of their home or inside, you would likely want to respect that
#
Zegnat Oh, that is an interesting one for sure
#
Zegnat Also opens up another can of worms of people forgetting about GPS locations tagged *inside* the photo files
