[jacky] https://podqueue.fm might be interesting for the podcatching folks
#
[jacky] _kinda_ like huffduffer?
rvalue and gxt joined the channel
#
[snarfed] looks like! and ooh it supports video sites like youtube too
#
[snarfed] sadly I bet it enqueues the whole video file instead of extracting just the audio
#
[snarfed] worth trying though
#
[snarfed] https://podqueue.fm/pages/competition 👀 😆
#
[jacky] > YouTube videos saved to PodQueue will work as long as the original video is available
#
[jacky] so it's on-demand? interesting
#
[jacky] I have to assume that it is
#
[snarfed] "PodQueue YouTube Proxy Service" 👀 https://status.podqueue.fm/
#
[snarfed] fascinating
#
[snarfed] that's more involved than I expected
#
[jacky] yeah heh I wonder if it keeps the core "simple" so it calls out to this
#
[jacky] prob easier than have to do a push and fix of everything
#
[jacky] well "easier" lol
#
[snarfed] eh the whole thing is still a relatively straightforward product, I doubt much complexity comes from monolith vs microservices
#
[snarfed] more just in dealing with youtube etc itself

#
[tantek] If a fake Insta is a finsta, then does that mean a fake Tumblr is a fumblr?
#
[tantek] And if a "real" Insta is a rinsta, then is a real Tumblr a rumblr?

#
[tantek] If I posted something like that "If a fake Instagram is a finsta, then does that mean a fake Tumblr is a fumblr? / If a real Instagram is a rinsta, then does that mean a real Tumblr is a rumblr?" — would that be considered a "shitposting" or a "hot take"? (because I've decided I'd like to avoid that style of posting. As popular as it is on the socials, it's not me, it's not who I want to be).
#
[snarfed] all I know is, rumble is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(company)#Users_and_content
#
aaronpk i mean _I_ think it's funny
#
[snarfed] otherwise seems like just a joke to me, not shitposting or a hot take
#
barnaby sounds like a mildly humorous question to me. would need to be much wilder to be a shitpost, and much more annoying to be a hot take IMO

#
[jacky] yeah same re: hot take
#
[tantek] thanks for the tone check folks, appreciated.

#
[snarfed] I'm going to share this on the fediverse and Bluesky soon as early outreach for eventually launching Bluesky support in Bridgy Fed. any thoughts before I do? https://snarfed.org/2023-11-27_re-introducing-bridgy-fed
#
c​apjamesg [snarfed] Does that photo have any significance? 😄
#
c​apjamesg And i like this!
#
[aciccarello] I think it sounds good. Come across pretty open and transparent.
#
[snarfed] lol yeah I tried to find a picture of me that was humanizing and showed that I don't take myself too seriously 🤷
#
[snarfed] if it's confusing, I can change it
#
[snarfed] thanks [aciccarello]!
#
[tantek] That post needs to be IndieNewsed
#
[snarfed] it will be
#
[snarfed] does the picture come across as amusing? or confusing?
#
c​apjamesg My first thought was "Does that photo have any significance?"
#
c​apjamesg I found it a tad confusing.
#
c​apjamesg I think you want to convey authority. It comes out well in your opening paragraph.
#
c​apjamesg > Hi! I’m Ryan. -- short sentences, effective to catch someone's eyes
#
c​apjamesg > I’ve been building social network bridges and related tools for over 12 years -- references an impressive statistic, appeal to experience
#
c​apjamesg >
#
c​apjamesg > including Bridgy, which connects personal web sites and blogs to centralized social networks, and Bridgy Fed, which connects them to the fediverse -- two examples, which segue well into the rest of your guide
#
c​apjamesg >
#
c​apjamesg I think a photo that isn't the Bridgy logo would be effective, but I'm not sure what.
#
[snarfed] thanks!
#
c​apjamesg Maybe a banner-type image would be appropriate?
#
[snarfed] I'm trying to convey humanity, open mindedness, personal connection, etc more than authority
#
gRegor I like the photo
#
c​apjamesg There is definitely a personal tone.
#
[snarfed] esp to the fediverse, which is generally anti-authority, anti-corporate, etc
#
[snarfed] thanks gRegor
#
gRegor Don't think it should have u-photo since it's not a photo post tho
#
c​apjamesg Yeah.
#
gRegor Unless you want that to be featured in readers with the text as a caption, haha
#
c​apjamesg 😄
#
c​apjamesg The post looks ready to publish in my book. Do you have any alternate less serious photos, though?
#
[snarfed] yes but that's the one so far that seems to most convey "I don't take myself too seriously" 🤷
#
[snarfed] I can keep looking
#
c​apjamesg My default pose is a selfie making the peace sign when I don't want to be too serious. Also laughing while a photo is taken 😄
