#
Loqi [[tantek]] ^ can we get that to work? or is "When is" now obsolete as a Loqi request and needs to be rewritten to work with events.indieweb?

[tantek] Google Search << Criticism: 2022-02-17 [https://mjtsai.com/blog/2022/02/17/google-search-is-dying/ Google Search Is Dying] <blockquote>The bizarre relationship between Google and marketers often means the first page is full of display ads and results that are effectively ads.</blockquote> h/t jacky

Loqi ok, I added "Criticism: 2022-02-17 [https://mjtsai.com/blog/2022/02/17/google-search-is-dying/ Google Search Is Dying] <blockquote>The bizarre relationship between Google and marketers often means the first page is full of display ads and results that are effectively ads.</blockquote> h/t jacky" to the "See Also" section of /Google_Search https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=79690&oldid=79616

#
[tonz] [tantek] what do you do to submit every mentioned URL to archive.org? by calling https://web.archive.org/save/URL or something from within the WM discovery step?
#
[tonz] and do you do anything with the respons (as in, also storing the snapshot’s url?)
#
jacky heh I was thinking about this the other day
#
jacky I think I'd do something after sending Webmentions (or in tandem)
kloenk and mro joined the channel
#
[tantek] [tonz] yes indeed I think I documented roughly the way I do it in the PHP section, and yes at the same time (in the same "loop over all the links") as webmention discovery+sending
#
[tantek] what is internet archive
#
Loqi The Internet Archive is a non-profit organization that is building a digital library, including archival copy of much of the public web, and since 2019 is the primary location the IndieWeb community hosts videos of IndieWebCamp and Summit sessions https://indieweb.org/Internet_Archive
#
[tantek] [tonz] in particular https://indieweb.org/Internet_Archive#Trigger_Archive_in_PHP

#
[chrisaldrich] What is Typefully?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Typefully" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Typefully is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[chrisaldrich] This post about Typefully helping people go from writing notes and threads (on Twitter) to building out UI and profiles for keeping it all in blog format is an interesting framing: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/typefully-profiles

#
[tantek] quite sad: "This website requires JavaScript to function properly. If you disabled JavaScript, please enable it and refresh this page."
#
[tantek] ugh yeah. viewed source and apparently a diaspora instance (should have figured from the *pora domain name)
tetov-irc joined the channel
#
[tantek] and the other clue from the name, from plus*, looks like this was a place for former Google+ fans/users
#
[tantek] maybe add it to site-deaths? since it seems to be impacting quite a few folks
#
[tantek] from the Plan B description in that message, this looks interesting from a /discovery and /search perspective (cc: capjamesg[d]) https://wheretofind.me/
#
[tantek] has anyone else seen this animated balloons effect when you visit someone's profile on Twitter on their birthday? e.g. I happened to visit https://twitter.com/NightmaresTown
#
[tantek] and just saw the explainer pop-up for "Reply downvotes"
#
[tantek] what are Reply downvotes
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Reply downvotes" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Reply downvotes is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] Reply downvotes are a [[Twitter]] feature introduced in 2022 to allow users to downvote, symbolized by a down arrow ⬇, replies to tweets that “isn’t adding to the conversation”.
#
Loqi ok
