[tantek] Having reader support would be a powerful demonstration
#
[tantek] Hah just noticed this slack (#indieweb channel in particular) has 1111 members
#
GWG Microsub servers, not clients would need to support it. So we have a few
#
[tantek] Hmmm, a different kind of /silo-quit – posting something cringe, getting dragged for it, and deleting your account even after apologizing: https://web.archive.org/web/20220623171837/https://twitter.com/peaktobi/status/1539234970157432832 (note they do have their own domain, can be seen in the background of that archive)

#
sknebel GWG: sort-of, but displaying to the user if content is restricted-access is important too, so clients should be involved
#
jjuran [tantek]: What was the cringe part?
#
aaronpk scroll to the bottom 😬
#
GWG sknebel: I'll have to read up on whether anything was in the issues.. but -dev on that
#
jjuran aaronpk: I'm not seeing it

[chrisaldrich] For those using the Mendeley reference manager and silo service for bookmarking articles and saving documents, they're discontinuing their desktop app on 2022-09-01. Zotero is a useful open source alternative and has a good upgrade path that allows you to own your data (including annotations). See https://twitter.com/RemyLevin/status/1543679716003020803 for details/instructions.
#
@RemyLevin I've been using Mendeley Desktop daily for years, & have an annotated library of thousands of pdfs. Today, I switched to Zotero. Here's a 🧵of tips on how to do this, if you're also tired of Elsevier's BS and want to make the switch w/minimal effort while maintaining workflow. (twitter.com/_/status/1543679716003020803)

pjplayer Isn’t it really that the whole thing is a complete sham? He’s claiming that his “organization” is the key to his “success” but has excluded other factors that no amount of organization could replace. That’s the clownishness I saw.

#
jjuran pjplayer: Sure, like it makes some sense to Delegate unimportant but urgent tasks, but that implies having a staff available for that.
#
jjuran Doesn't seem worthy of getting dogpiled, though.

[chrisaldrich] For those who are celebrating Independence Day in America (and even for those who arent'), [manton]'s Indie Microblogging book is at 15 on Hacker News. It's good reading for a holiday like today.

#
[manton] Fun. I wonder why it popped up on Hacker News.
#
