petermolnar had anyone ever POSSEd location tagged photos to google maps?
#
Ruxton nooo but thats a good use
#
petermolnar is it even possible? I'm trying to locate anything in the API, but so far, no luck
#
Ruxton places api lets u upload photos to places
#
Ruxton oh wait, nope
#
petermolnar https://support.google.com/maps/answer/2622947?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en am I reading it correctly that I can only add photos to places I've visited according to Google's Location History?
#
petermolnar and only by hand?
#
Ruxton yes to only by hand/manual (using app or website) not sure on history, it leads you to believe you can do it directly to a place without history
#
sknebel I assume an API for that isn't worth the moderation effort...
#
sknebel this being not too comfortable to automate might be a "feature"
#
petermolnar unfortunately that sounds like a fair point

[KevinMarks] I signed up as a contributor to places so I could fix their poor coverage of local businesses, so it's a bit manual until it hurts, but effectively they prompt me to posse photos and auto fill the metadata
#
[KevinMarks] It is possible to spoof the geolocation on a dev android, so you could maybe do it that way.
#
[KevinMarks] They also tell you how many views you get of your photos

petermolnar then you're one step away from experiencing the world of gopher, BBS via telnet, and all the forgotten, long lost protocols! Or not. It's your choice.

Lionir Damnit, it wasn't clear I was connected, haha. I wanted to ask, what is currently the preferred way to specify pronouns in an h-card? Seemed fitting that I'd fix that on my site since it's pronouns day.

#
[snarfed] Lionir: evidently no accepted standard yet, but people are experimenting with both p-x-pronoun-* and u-pronoun. https://microformats.org/wiki/h-card-brainstorming#Pronouns , https://indieweb.org/pronoun
#
jacky Lionir: good questioin
#
jacky I think there's some info at /pronoun
#
jacky what are pronouns
#
Loqi A pronoun is a word that people often use to refer to other people or objects instead of their names; on the indieweb you can express which pronouns should be used to refer to you https://indieweb.org/pronouns
#
Lionir I see, I imagine neither are parsed correctly so either is fine?
#
[fluffy] I think p-x-pronoun is not-recommended because experimental/extension syntax has a tendency to become established syntax
#
[fluffy] I use p-pronouns, and Iā€™m not sure where I got that from.
#
Loqi Microformats... can you move the tech talk to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
[fluffy] good call!
