Wow. Nice!

I had not considered how Google Fonts could track people.
njd, nanoflite, distopico_, selectric401, ehmry, zblesk[m], Tommi[m], mambang[m], kinduff, _inky, fedorahead, Jon, [aciccarello], voxpelli, schmudde and marksuth[d] joined the channel; fedorahead left the channel
#
[tantek]
yeah wow
#
[tantek]
what is Google Fonts
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Google Fonts" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Google Fonts is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
been still reflecting on that "friction" article by DHH. as much as I don't even look at FB any more, post only occasionally now (not saying that's "good" per se), the dopamine hits / urge to "react" to posts thing is feeling like a distraction from focused & thoughtful creating (whether writing, coding, etc.)

Hash-based caching would be a good answer to the Google Fonts type question. If they used subresource integrity links, then you could resolve to a different origin for the same file
#
[KevinMarks]
using the integrity attribute on the link as a way to cache resources

Remember when Google made the case for openness? https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/meaning-of-open.html
#
schmudde
Wow. It seems that they would still have a long-term competitive advantage in an open environment. But then the pressures of quarter-over-quarter growth have really clouded this vision. Or is my take too generous?

Small personal victory, I just successfully created and ran a script that goes through authorising myself in my website and gets an access token.
#
[tonz]
in php from scratch
#
[KevinMarks]
I think that was a shot fired in an internal argument, and the Emerald Sea (G+) approach was the other argument that took over for a bit and broke a lot of that culture

inspired by #indieweb-dev, re-plugging jackjamieson++'s awesome IndieWeb dissertation, more people here should know about it and read or skim it! https://dissertation.jackjamieson.net/

prob gnna lurk for a while before i participate but heres my site http://apples.place us:igot pw:enoughforever
#
oxo111999
i interact with it mostly through file transfer so it's not a visual site although there are a few html pages
#
GWG
I miss [jackjamieson]. I was able to reach out to him yesterday to chat though

[snarfed] Any parts in particular that are worth reading? It looks incredibly interesting.

Feel free to lurk and ask any questions you have oxo111999.

capjamesg depends on the audience. start with the TOC!

GWG, I think [jackjamieson] is still around. not sure why but you're attempted reference showed up with brackets like [jackjamieson] rather than an @-name in Slack
#
[tantek]
your* attempted reference
#
aaronpk
probably because the slack bridge hasn't seen him in a while
jacky and Christian_Olivie joined the channel
#
[tantek]
interesting. I thought it was a syntactical conversion
#
aaronpk
it used to be, but slack changed stuff and now you have to include a slack user ID for slack to actually ping them and link it to their profile and such
#
[tantek]
makes sense
#
[snarfed]
Bridgy Instagram users, if you've been missing comments backfeed, upgrade your browser extension! IG moved comments into a separate HTTP fetch, new version adds support for that

[tantek] from #dev, I wonder what the most minimal version of the coffee and breakfast site would be.
#
capjamesg[d]
Maybe just an aggregator at the beginning?
#
[tantek]
most minimal would be a special purpose wiki with default templates for cafes with the fields you want
#
capjamesg[d]
Special purpose wiki is a good call.
#
capjamesg[d]
I wonder whether it’s worth building something or using an existing wiki tool.

capjamesg[d] depends on what your priorities are πŸ™‚
#
[tantek]
was / is anyone posting Wordle game /play results to their own site (and/or POSSEing them to Twitter)?

i posted the time i cheated
#
Loqi
[Aaron Parecki] oops, I accidentally viewsourced wordle and it turns out the next day's words are already chosen and visible in the source code. Don't look if you don't want to be spoiled! Wordle 216 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
#
[tantek]
ah that doesn't really illustrate game progress tho
#
aaronpk
that's the point ;-)

Last HWC I mentioned it might be nice to be able to share actual guesses on my site, not just the emojis, as an expiring post
#
gRegor
I don't have expiring posts, though, and it's not a high priority so not likely to implement it. Just an idea.
#
Zegnat
That was what I was doing. I had a table mimicing the Wordle design, which would display only colours, unless you clicked a button that would fill in all the letters of my guesses.
#
Zegnat
But Gutenburg really did not like how I did it :P
#
Zegnat
It might return again, might be trying a different blog thing February
