edgeduchess[d] I got a recruiter today emailing me about "an exciting position at Meta"
#
sennomo barf
#
edgeduchess[d] yeah, same reaction
#
edgeduchess[d] they were like "I see many of my colleagues have tried to contact you throughout the years, but maybe now--"
#
sennomo "Maybe now thate we're Meta.."
#
edgeduchess[d] I know, if you're not up with the latest news you could totally fall for it

#
sennomo Good point.
#
sennomo I'd probably overlook a new company called "Meta" because the name is so uninspired.

[chrisaldrich] On the overlay topic from earlier, there's also the example of Wikiwand for Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Alternative_browsing

#
capjamesg[d] [snarfed] that’s a tough one.
#
capjamesg[d] I think a disclaimer is needed.
#
capjamesg[d] Instagram means a lot to me and presumably others who want to syndicate likes to their site.
#
capjamesg[d] I love the browser extension but everyone should weigh the costs and benefits of using it themselves.

#
[snarfed] thanks! agreed
#
[snarfed] unrelated, heads up all, I'm planning to start garbage collecting old responses in Bridgy. it currently has 25M, and that storage is ~40% of its cost. I'm planning to regularly delete responses over a year old
#
[snarfed] more background in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/762
#
[snarfed] (I'd still keep them all! just not in the expensive online storage)
#
petermolnar may I ask how much raw storage that takes? I'm just curious.
#
[snarfed] sure! Bridgy's total db is 105G, and the responses are 90G

#
[snarfed] we could always come up with cheaper storage solutions if that was the only problem. the bigger motivation is, I don't intend Bridgy to be a permanent data storage service (like eg webmention.io). this is one way to demonstrate that.

daiyi[d] does anyone know of a micropub client that supports uploading photos? bonus points for uploading multiple photos.
#
daiyi[d] I could not get Sunlit configured for my blog even though i've been able to post to my blog from other clients 😔
#
Seb[d] I believe quill.p3k.io does, and both within the Micropub request as well as if you have a separate media endpoint.
#
[schmarty] the Indigenous app for iOS and Android also support (multi)photo uploads, i believe.
