[tantek] I've always wondered about how much I should wipe my devices before sending them in for repair (e.g. at an Apple store). Apparently the answer is, a lot (i.e. any photos you don't want published) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/jun/07/apple-settles-iphone-explicit-images

samwilson [jgmac1106]: I used to blog on Dokuwiki years ago. The namespace system is great, as is the authorization stuff.

Zegnat https://youtu.be/UG32FG6fXSw?t=83 is what I am thinking of. You would select three friends, these will then be sent codes by Facebook, and the three codes together would let you reset your account password.

petermolnar !tell [tantek] re repair: the idea that the hard drive is not removable in apple products makes disgusted. Removable storage is a *must* for repairability even if it's only for the sake of privacy. Some phones come with sd card slot, and one can set it to be default for things like photos, which is better, than nothing, but still horrible; but computers with soldered on SSD should burn in hell.
# petermolnar (freeze in hell? Depends on which source one wants to quote, I guess.)
# petermolnar re Instagram: "But as more people joined and more was shared, it became impossible for most people to see everything, let alone all the posts they cared about." BULLSH*T.
# petermolnar follow less, only the ones you care about, it's that simple.

# doosboox petermolnar: 100% this. I’ve subscribed to numerous feeds only to unsubscribe after a couple of months when I’ve noticed that they’re so low on my priority list that I never get to them
# doosboox I know my dad hoards newspapers because he plans to read them ”soon”, though. A lot of people can’t unsub once they’ve subbed because they feel obligates to read everything

# petermolnar that is an interesting psychological problem; I wonder what differentiates people who can "mark all read" with one click and the ones who can't.

# doosboox My feedly flow is 90% Slashdot, and I only read two-three of those articles a day, if even that. If I for some reason haven’t checked my flow in a while I usually start off by marking the Slashdot feed as read to be able to see the other stuff

@Gynesys This got me fired up about Twitch taking 50% of revenue, despite being backed by Amazon, which is even more profitable than Apple. Creators need the indie web. We should own our platforms, content, devices, and storefronts. Consolidation and monopolization has hurt us. https://twitter.com/jasminericegirl/status/1402691047940100100 (twitter.com/_/status/1402699319157788673)

[chrisaldrich] If one replaced Ebooks on this list with "personal website" it would sound very IndieWeb in spirit: http://booktwo.org/openbookmarks/checklist/, perhaps something useable in a potential front page redesign?

# Zegnat I never personally used usenet, but I read about it in this pretty good blog post that describes things that usenet readers had but that social media seems to lack / do different: https://jfm.carcosa.net/blog/computing/usenet/
# Zegnat Re: previous discussion on readers, overload, fomo, and mark all as read. I have been wanting to find a reader (or build one) that supports old school pick-and-read from Usenet. So you would read in two phases, first just scanning titles and selecting what you actually want to read, and then read what was selected.

# [chrisaldrich] I like this ^ idea Zegnat and wish I had something that did it in a more integrative way. Some feed readers will allow this by starring a handful of things in a broader view and then allowing you to see those starred things to read.
# [chrisaldrich] What is year in review?
# Loqi Year in Review is a feature on some silos (like Facebook) as well as being a special kind of article on some IndieWeb sites that summarizes important aspects of the past year https://indieweb.org/year_in_review
# [chrisaldrich] year in review << Sam Anderson created a year in review of all the books he [[read]] in 2010 (though sadly not on his own website), but did it using [[photo]]s of [[annotation]]s he made in the [[book]]s he read: https://themillions.com/2010/12/a-year-in-marginalia-sam-anderson.html
