petermolnar I'd like to put "self-expression" as a top level point under the "Why Indie Web" on /why
# petermolnar the question is: sould it extend and/or replace Freedom (probably not) or get it's own point?

[KevinMarks] Interesting way of framing values https://twitter.com/johncutlefish/status/1332856154590834688?s=20

[jgmac1106] petermolnar its like everything we were talking about yesterday
opal and [tantek] joined the channel
virulences and [Raphael_Luckom] joined the channel
# [Raphael_Luckom] I don't get it.
# [Raphael_Luckom] Also "that guy who never stopped using tumblr" is another example of tumblr being past tense like I asked about yesterday. Because it's notable to "still" be using it (everyone else presumably has moved on?)

[tantek] found the original: https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/

# [Raphael_Luckom] If one of my work friends sent that to me on whatsapp, my reaction would be "lol true." If I was a new person who didn't know what any of those technologies were, my reaction would be like, "wow, I'm going to get _judged_"

# [tantek] included here which seemed like an appropriate place for the humor, linking to original of course: https://indieweb.org/content_management_system#To_CMS_or_not_to_CMS.3F
# [tantek] lower left corner here: https://rakhim.org/images/honestly-undefined/blogging.jpg
# [tantek] also, their site is too much of a rabbithole for me to not explicitly link to it here: https://rakhim.org/
# [tantek] quite prolific too! https://rakhim.org/about/
# petermolnar all my images are watermarked and they have artist metadata, even the thumbnails
# petermolnar (thus all the fantastic "optimizitation" tools are telling me to strip that because it could save KBs of data!)
# [Raphael_Luckom] hehe
# petermolnar yes, sorry, watermarked with my domain
# [Raphael_Luckom] kbs, you say?
# petermolnar well, exif + iptc + xml are in the range of 10-20KB per image
# petermolnar regardless of image (bytes) size
# petermolnar I've used the domain watermarking for a long while now, let me check
# petermolnar at least since 2011.
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "watermark" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "watermark is ____", a sentence describing the term)
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
# petermolnar watermark is usually a piece of information - such as text, domain, signature, name, etc - that is overlayed on images, commonly with transparency for two purposes: stealing protection and tracebility.
# petermolnar eh
# petermolnar theft not stealing

[chrisaldrich] I had hoped that gapingvoid used their url, but turns out it's a social media "handle" instead, though if one adds a .com, it does resolve to the related site. https://www.gapingvoidart.com/gallery/information-knowledge/
# [chrisaldrich] My friend Matt Dujnic has used his url in comics for quite a while...
# [chrisaldrich] watermark << Example of a URL in a comic as a watermark https://www.crunchnoisy.com/
# Loqi ok, I added "Example of a URL in a comic as a watermark https://www.crunchnoisy.com/" to a new "See Also" section of /watermark https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=73772&oldid=73771
# petermolnar 2010, apparently; I checked my archives.
# [chrisaldrich] Rakhim's about page also has a list of his Patrons which I don't think I've seen on a personal site before. Like a blogroll (Rakhim doesn't link to their websites), but for supporters.
# [chrisaldrich] I thought maybe [jeremycherfas] had done this with Eat This Podcast, but I'm not seeing it presently.
# [chrisaldrich] What is support?
# Loqi support is related to all things regarding issues reported to a site or silo, like when you report abuse, and receive a response in a support inbox https://indieweb.org/support
# [chrisaldrich] What is a pledge?
# Loqi pledge is a recurring donation https://indieweb.org/pledge

# 
jeremycherfas I used to, when I used Patreon far more, but I have been trying to get away. Maybe I should poll supporters to see what kind of recognition they would like.

# [chrisaldrich] Stumbled across Stencil as a graphics creation tool https://getstencil.com/ (targeted towards creating images for social media?) and sort of wish there were a version of this that worked as a micropub client.
# alex11 i can't even draw in real life, forget about on a computer screen :P
[jgmac1106] and gpickett00 joined the channel
# [chrisaldrich] Most of this tool is preformatted images and text layout stuff that makes one feel talented from a design perspective. It's got lots of preset sizes for websites and social media platforms.

# [chrisaldrich] [jgmac1106], yes, much like https://www.canva.com/ which may be better known in that space. I'm curious if others have useful simple tools like this. (Bonus points if they're IndieWeb friendly.)
# [chrisaldrich] I like some of the simplicity and flexibility of Dave Winer's http://littlecardeditor.com/ and http://pngwriter.com/ for things like these.
