[audioundergroun It's always a bonus when the place you work at, also uses slack
[kevinmarks786], nitot and catsup joined the channel
#
Zegnat I have the IndieWeb IRC open in an IRC client next to my work slack client. Like to keep separation
#
[audioundergroun fair 🙂 these laptops are very underpowered so I try to keep the amount of programs open to a minimum, so i hace all of my slack communities attached to the slack desktop app
#
petermolnar > these laptops are very underpowered - no, the laptops are fine. The web based madness is the problem.
#
[audioundergroun I'll concede and say 50/50 😄 hehe

#
[dmitshur] Thread about personal websites on HN right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19784907
#
Loqi [dmitshur]: Zegnat left you a message 6 days, 6 hours ago: re: owning subscriptions. I follow basically everything through RSS outside of the silos, and then manually follow things within the silos if I want to boost the creator (e.g. YT channels get judged by subscribers, so I make sure to subscribe), but that is just for show
#
[jgmac1106] there is some irony in someone saying "they are not that interesting" and then generating a huge thread....

#
chrisaldrich Apparently the Internet Identity Workshop kicked off this morning. Any Indiewebbers there? https://twitter.com/search?q=%23iiw&f=live
#
snarfed chrisaldrich: heh, funny timing, F8 also kicked off this morning
#
chrisaldrich What is irony?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "irony" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "irony is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
chrisaldrich I know, I know... "/snarfed backs away slowly..." ;)
#
chrisaldrich then there's also the irony of F8 sounding like "fate" which we all should have taken as a warning ages ago right?
#
gRegorLove aaronpk and tbrown are, according to /IIW
#
gRegorLove Or maybe not. Aaron's blue dot is in Portland :)
[jgmac1106] and [eddie] joined the channel

#
aaronpk apparently I need to make my home page events section show current events not just upcoming events

[kevinmarks786] What is blue dot?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "blue dot" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "blue dot is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[kevinmarks786] Hm. https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/23jul_palebluedot
#
aaronpk blue dot is a feature of a [[checkin]] that indicates whether someone is still at the venue they checked in to
#
Loqi ok
#
aaronpk blue dot << https://aaronparecki.com/2017/05/19/18/still-here
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://aaronparecki.com/2017/05/19/18/still-here" to a brand new "See Also" section of /blue_dot https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=60194&oldid=60193
#
Loqi [Aaron Parecki] I'm Still Here!
#
[kevinmarks786] blue dot << NASA calls the Earth the blue dot, which fits all of us in https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/23jul_palebluedot
#
Loqi ok, I added "NASA calls the Earth the blue dot, which fits all of us in https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/23jul_palebluedot" to the "See Also" section of /blue_dot https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=60195&oldid=60194

#
GWG Why blue?
#
aaronpk I actually met the guy who made the blue dot in google, but I dont know why it was blue
#
aaronpk my guess is because blue is not a color used on land areas in maps so it is a good contrasting color
#
snarfed re the nasa article, i expect "pale blue dot" is a reference to the famous voyager photo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot , not checkins or anything else from social media
#
aaronpk that's why I defined blue dot in indieweb terms :)
#
snarfed 👍

#
chrisaldrich There's also the prior art of the blue marble, which is also a reference to earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Marble
#
chrisaldrich It's one of the most reproduced photos ever and is well known in the past decade as being commonly used by Apple.

gRegorLove_ jacky: http://gph.is/1hFm6js
#
jacky lol basically
#
jacky was out of chat for ~5+ days
#
gRegorLove I'm pretty lazy about it lately. I rely on a tell or a github notification if it's important XD
#
aaronpk same tbh
