Ruxton woah! Automattic is gonna buy Tumblr :O
#
[tantek] good morning Ruxton 🙂
#
Ruxton morning :)
#
Ruxton is WordPress the most successful opensource fork? *ponders*
#
[tantek] WebKit is likely running on more CPUs
#
Ruxton ahh yes

[timothy_chamber Kevin Marks and I were able to get into Matt's earliest replies to his open call for features for an Automattic Tumblr product:

#
@photomatt @anildash Taking future feature requests now. 😁 (twitter.com/_/status/1161026670788317184)
#
aaronpk I'm pretty sure that was a sarcastic call ;-)
#
[tantek] I think it was at least half-serious

#
[tantek] wow the content of the schedule requires JS, a bit surprised

#
[tantek] some good topics in there though more for -> #indieweb-dev if anyone wants to discuss
#
[jgmac1106] Errmmm... Academia created a Personal Website powered by your Academia Profile page, for your review. Customize and activate it today.
#
[jgmac1106] That was in an email. Will have to log in to delete my academia.edu or let them handle my website
#
[tantek] Wat
#
jeremycherfas They've been getting more and more leechlike.
#
OsakaFoo they are terrible, and the other one research gate
#
OsakaFoo Off topic: I wish my university would offer up staff and students some basic webspace.
#
[jgmac1106] Me thibks I need to write a post on why you need your own and not to use academia.edu
#
OsakaFoo 100% agree
#
jeremycherfas Academia, ResearchGate and the others are all about clicks and likes, and getting hold of your preprints and reprints so they get the traffic rather than you.

sl007 [tantek] About the page: Designed it before my tool was ready, and noticed that the static page rendering has a bug in the tabs webcomponent. Will be fixed. Page should not require JS off course but is a WIP for one more week ;) Noticed 7 bugs so far …

[tantek] sl007++ great job with shipping early and shipping often 🙂
#
Loqi sl007 has 7 karma in this channel over the last year (8 in all channels)

#
[jgmac1106] Jeremycherfas but we deal in the currency of citations and you get massive boosts using academia.edu..so people like getting the clicks
#
[jgmac1106] But yes I agree gross.. Folks should do it from your own domain. They are trying to be the social network for academics
#
[tantek] wasn't that classmates . com?
