cambridgeport90[ <AshMcAllan[m]> "Looks like my first upgrade to..." <- That's still a thing? I was never sure what happened to that, and whether it remained in development.
#
lkhrs[m] Site is down and last github commit was in Jul 2020, so I'd say it's abandoned at this point

#
[KevinMarks] Hi and welcome Deborah
#
AshMcAllan[m] welcome!
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> Welcome to the community!
#
[deborahbrown_m] Thank you so much. I am super excited to join you, and most importantly experience the amazing work of everyone.
#
[deborahbrown_m] I feel like everyone here is a pro web developer 🙈
#
[deborahbrown_m] But I'll just introduce myself a bit. My major is International Humanitarian Action but I am on a journey to being a UX Accessibility Researcher. I am quite passionate about web accessibility and inclusive design and in my work as a humanitarian, I specialize in disability inclusion.
#
AshMcAllan[m] absolutely not all pro web developers lol.
#
jeremycherfas Definitely not a developer. And welcome.
#
[tantek] Welcome [deborahbrown_m] !
#
GWG I am definitely not a professional developer.
#
[calumryan] Welcome [deborahbrown_m] - I work in web accessibility and usability design
#
[fluffy] Hi [deborahbrown_m], welcome! I'm also not a web developer professionally. My day job is the programming side of UI/UX stuff, and it's great to see more UI/UX people around :)

#
GWG I always wonder about this...dev stuff is my hobby.. but my profession is far from development or programming...so is that affirming that non professionals should feel welcome here? I hope it is

petermolnar professional is an interesting word, because it's definition varies from person to person.
mdemo and rvalue joined the channel
#
[tantek] petermolnar, indeed. and the short form "pro" has taken on its own broader meaning as well, e.g. "iPhone Pro", so much so that we can't necessarily expand "pro" to mean "professional"
#
[deborahbrown_m] Interesting to know 😁
#
petermolnar Web Hobbyist Pro™
#
[fluffy] Reminder that “Amateur” means “one who does it for love” (as KevinMarks posted an old blog entry about recently, and is also a sentiment I’ve seen online a lot lately)
#
[aciccarello] I like that definition

#
AshMcAllan[m] ok it looks like my troubles might come from docker making strange choices about some environment variables.

AshMcAllan[m] Hmmmm nope. Not that

[chrisaldrich] For the readers and book nerds, I just read that by putting your Kindle into FreeTime mode (usually used by Parents for their kids), your kindle will track your pages read, minutes read, books finished, words looked up, and "achievements". They also save a file on your Kindle that allows you to extract the data. details:

[chrisaldrich] What is read?
#
Loqi To read or reading is the act of viewing and interpreting posts or other documents; on the IndieWeb, a read post expresses that something has been read, like a book or section thereof https://indieweb.org/read
