Loqi slow web is a movement based on deliberately designed web sites focused on more well user-paced experiences instead of real-time, reactive, or frantic experiences, and has principles similar to and compatible with IndieWeb principles https://indieweb.org/slow_web

[tantek] ^ seems like a good /social_reader feature
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "calm technology" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "calm technology is ____", a sentence describing the term)

@pookleblinky 20 years ago, you would have your own website, on which you'd put pictures. Other people could point *their* website to your pictures, instead of putting them on their own website. This was called "hot linking" (twitter.com/_/status/1486584454558756867)

capjamesg[d] what is reblogging?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "reblogging" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "reblogging is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# capjamesg[d] What is a reblog?
# Loqi A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another (typically someone else’s) post. The act of reposting is an umbrella term that covers the general practice of republishing another post typically on the same service or silo, and sometimes across sites https://indieweb.org/reblog

# [James_Van_Dyne] Hotlinking…haven't thought of that in years. Teenage me was always had fun replacing images of mine that were being hotlinked with…unexpected images. It usually solved the problem.

# capjamesg[d] Welcome!
# kinduff Hello everyone
# kinduff Ive been reading like crazy for the last couple of days all about indieweb, and I'm loving it
# kinduff so many keywords, and new concepts to learn, but I think I'm getting there, at least starting with webmentions
# kinduff so here's why I found out, I've been working on creating content for my website from other sources
# kinduff generally using n8n (self-hosted IFTTT) or custom scripts in order to send new data to an airtable or other kind of store
# kinduff but now that im reading about POSSE I think this is exactly the concept no?
# kinduff hello [snarfed] 👋
# capjamesg[d] Yay! Welcome to the IndieWeb!
# capjamesg[d] Do you have a domain name? Mine is jamesg.blog 🙂
# kinduff :) hi all! what a warm welcome
# kinduff mines kinduff.com
# kinduff trying to transform it into something alive! haha
# kinduff if that makes sense
# kinduff so one of the first steps to really start is to integrate microformats?
# capjamesg[d] Amazing! kinduff++
# capjamesg[d] What are your goals for your website kinduff? What do you want to build / accomplish?
# kinduff i have 2 endgoals: first to condense all my activity in one place (github stars, liked youtube videos, etc), second to be able to write without too much structure, like being out of the box and be able to have a digital garden of sorts to publish
# capjamesg[d] That's helpful to know. Thank you for sharing! I write notes on my site as a form of unstructured expression and love doing so. There are plenty of people here who have tried / actively use digital gardens, too.
# capjamesg[d] what is a digital garden?
# Loqi A commonplace book (or commonplaces) are a way to compile and store knowledge, usually by writing information into books, notebooks, card catalogs, or in more modern settings on one's own website https://indieweb.org/digital_garden
# capjamesg[d] There's more in that article (although I think it's quite long haha).
# capjamesg[d] Like jacky said, microformats are a good way to make your site interoperable. They will also help you if you want to publish GitHub stars / issue comments on your site, too.
# capjamesg[d] There is a tool called brid.gy that lets you turn posts on your site to GitHub issues and stars. [snarfed] here is the core maintainer, too 🙂
# [snarfed] oh fun, kinduff I noticed that I read your post https://kinduff.com/2022/01/04/the-weight-of-the-clipboard/ a while back. great post, I feel the same way! I think because most OSes don't easily expose clipboard history, so the "weight" is maybe a fear that you'll accidentally copy something else and lose the current clipboard contents
jacky and n8chz joined the channel
# capjamesg[d] Good post kinduff!
# capjamesg[d] I feel the same way too.
# capjamesg[d] I often copy the URL to something like my email account after I have copied something important. It's a strange habit but I just don't like having "important" things on my clipboard for too long (especially passwords).

# kinduff Great read capjamesg[d] about digital gardens, thank you very much!
# kinduff I'm already on Bridgy, props [snarfed], what a great tool. Going through the documentation to understand all its capabilities
# kinduff and it's such a great honor that you both liked the post, I agree that passwords are the worst!

# kinduff how does your website work [snarfed]? I see you have stuff from other sites and are linked
# 
[aciccarello] kinduff, eres mexicano? It'd be cool to see more Spanish language stuff in the indieweb!
# kinduff 😁
# kinduff asi es! soy mexicano, tu también?
# [aciccarello] Yo no, pero he visitado muchas veces. Vivo en San Diego. I've been working on learning spanish. I've noticed that there's a lot of projects which could use localization to spanish but have been hesitant to try myself.
# capjamesg[d] kinduff you can ask “what is XYZ” in the chat and our friendly bot Loqi should give a link to a relevant wiki page if one exists 🙂
# capjamesg[d] I’m glad you liked the commonplace book page.
[Joe_Crawford] joined the channel
# [Joe_Crawford] Welcome [aciccarello] - Tambien vivo en San Diego pero English is my first language and mi espanol es muy malo. I do have a fair amount of experience in PHP localization files via POEdit and gettext and such. I’m traveling this week but back in town next week.

# [aciccarello] Oh cool, I joined my first IWC meetup yesterday but have been lurking in chat for a while.

# capjamesg[d] Yes. That was a very unfortunate situation.
# capjamesg[d] There was a comment there about trying to contact Facebooks lawyers.
# capjamesg[d] *that I thought was interesting.

[KevinMarks] I use the SwiftKey keyboard on android because it gives me a 10 clipboard history, which makes it easier than my Mac to copy the quote and the link I want to share
