[tantek] [chrisaldrich] definitely! Looks like my "is" definitions were too late to take effect anyway. Feel free to create a separate /terms_of_service stub - there are a few redirects to /disclosure that you could probably create for subtly and semantically different enough in scope reasons like /privacy_policy
#
[tantek] just Yuriy ([html5cat]) and me here at HWC SF tonight

@alexstamos The real threat to the tech giants is competition, not regulation, and everybody is missing what really happened today: Facebook paid the FTC $5B for a letter that says "You never again have to create mechanisms that could facilitate competition." https://twitter.com/ashk4n/status/1154011894732087296 (twitter.com/_/status/1154025820890865664)

[chrisaldrich] jamietanna++ for https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ which was mentioned on the WordPress Weekly podcast roughly at https://youtu.be/i5OUxExhT3M?t=2362 (though they botched your pronouns)
#
Loqi jamietanna has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (4 in all channels)
#
jamietanna[m] 🙌🏼 That's very cool, thanks for sharing chrisaldrich. Yeah it's a shame, I guess in the US Jamie is more common as a female name?

#
[fluffy] It’s a gender-neutral name here.
#
[fluffy] Although I do know more female Jamies than male.
#
[fluffy] I think for males it’s usually spelled “Jamey” this side of the pond.
#
[fluffy] e.g. [Jamey_Sharp] 🙂
[Jamey_Sharp] joined the channel
#
[Jamey_Sharp] I've encountered I think exactly one other person who had the same spelling I do, so I dunno. I think Jamie may be the most common spelling regardless of gender?

#
[Jamey_Sharp] According to the Social Security Administration, in the US the name "Jamie" is something like 4x as likely to be assigned to girls than boys (based on eyeballing numbers from https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/, not any exact analysis)
#
[fluffy] Sounds about right.
#
[fluffy] Anyway, regardless, Jamie, you have your pronouns right there on your main page, and the podcasters should have done due diligence. Although on the other hand it pleases me that they assumed you were a woman, which is a nice change of pace in tech.

[tantek] interesting that new Twitter permalink web UI is highlighting location and posting tool more:
#
[tantek] "12:03 PM · Jul 25, 2019 from Montréal, Québec·Silo Pub for p3k"
#
[tantek] on https://twitter.com/aaronpk/status/1154467238772002817
#
@aaronpk @balajis @benwerd What I'm saying is I actually don't think a global number of likes on a post is even a good idea. What's more interesting is how many ppl within my own network have liked a post. Otherwise we're just mirroring Twitter along with all the negative behaviors that come with it.

jacky ^
#
jacky wow I'm blocked by that balaji person
#
aaronpk another example of problematic global consistency -- shared blocklists
#
[tantek] you're not missing anything relevant jacky 😂
#
[tantek] also feel free to use the archive.org trick
#
[tantek] wonders if that still works with the new twitter UI
#
jacky ehhh like

#
[tantek] wow new Twitter takes so long to load permalinks. sheesh
