# [snarfed] wow, GitLab supporting ActivityPub, https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247 . they may be ahead of the indieweb in figuring out the mechanics for cross-site PRs (ie edits), merges, etc in the wild
# [snarfed] https://indieweb.org/edit is maybe closest, but a bit more focused on content than code, and #How there is TBD
# capjamesg Wow!
# capjamesg That's impressive.

# [schmarty] despite the clickbait heading, this plea from Ryan Broderick in his Garbage Day email has a lot of overlap with readers / ownyourdata / digital gardening. https://www.garbageday.email/i/136398909/web-and-the-metaverse#§web-and-the-metaverse
# [schmarty] haha wow it's like those heading IDs are designed to break autolinking 😒

# Loqi gRegor: [tantek] left you a message 6 days, 10 hours ago: appreciate the screenshot & notes on https://indieweb.org/Bridgy_Fed#gRegor_Morrill — however, which Mastodon instance were you logged into when you took that screenshot?
# [schmarty] O no I forgot this was the paid weekend edition :melting_face:
# [KevinMarks] Could you screenshot the paragraph?
# [schmarty] > I’ve been using Pocket for about seven years now. I’ve saved over 5,000 links there. I love it because it syncs offline (and can get around certain paywalls 👀), but hate it because the search just straight up doesn’t work. I web clip all my Garbage Day stuff in Notion, which is good for organization, but doesn’t have offline sync and is, honestly, probably the most user-unfriendly app I’ve ever used. And I use Feedly for
# [schmarty] its Mac and iOS apps crash constantly. I am desperate to find something that can pull in all my old saved content, give me offline sync for saving new stuff, capture RSS, and let’s me easily organize all of that on the fly. I recently stumbled across Omnivore, which seems like it almost has everything I need (except it can’t get around paywalls 👀). But I feel like there must be a way to do this right? Does anyone know something
# [schmarty] can do what I’m trying to do? Is Obsidian a thing? Help me!!!

# [KevinMarks] This is the tools for thought discussion. Someone at that conf this time last year said they sold to auto didacts snd grad students.
# [KevinMarks] I think LLM's won't give insight, but embeddings might help find it
# [schmarty] snarfed: i had accidentally snipped out his opening sentence where he referenced that article as inspiration for his thinking on this so thanks for linking to it 😄
# [KevinMarks] As LLM's further degrade the web, a personal link hoard may become more valuable.

# [KevinMarks] It's maybe Zettelkasten, but it's a broader problem space
# [KevinMarks] What is tools for thought?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "tools for thought" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "tools for thought is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Loqi 🌱🪴 A digital garden is a particular practice of creating & growing an online and public IndieWeb presence that focuses more on topics & relationships than a timeline like blogs, has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content, perhaps interlinked with other digital gardens https://indieweb.org/digital_garden

# SigmundurM I'm wondering what would be a good way of writing the English translation of an organization.
# SigmundurM Trying out something like this: "I am also a member of Sosialistisk Ung (SU, EN: Faroese Socialist Youth)"
# SigmundurM but that looks quite complex and maybe too difficult to understand?

# SigmundurM Hmm, maybe? Reached out to a English friend who's a journalist for feedback aswell

# SigmundurM Maybe simplifying it is the way to go. Something like: "I am also a member of Sosialistisk Ung (SU), the Faroese Socialist Youth."
