lazcorp Not sure if anyone's come across this before, but Feedle is a search engine for blogs & podcasts: https://feedle.world/

#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] what was that feed-only search engine that was around when we built Technorati? Was it Feedster?
#
[tantek] Everything is repeating
#
[tantek] Also "thousands" heh

sknebel I was just setting an alarm for that one

[tantek] If only Loqi could remind us 😆

#
[Joe_Crawford] The need for a curated web is greater than ever!
#
[Joe_Crawford] A new age of things like StumbleUpon
#
[KevinMarks] There were a few - blogdex
#
btrem Anyone know of a good guide for svg and accessibility? Everything I've found is hopelessly out of date. Example: a css-tricks guide from 2016, with links to bugs that were fixed /years/ ago.
#
[Joe_Crawford] Kinja
#
btrem And by the way, why the *@#bleep!@#@! can't we use the accessibility items we have now? There's so much "can't use the title element in svg because software-x doesn't support it, so instead use aria-blah blah blah." Grrrr.
#
btrem aria--
#
Loqi aria has -1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] #dev? and MDN?
#
btrem I dunno. Haven't found much on MDN.
#
[tantek] btrem, elements and acronyms to #indieweb-dev please! Thank you :)
#
btrem Sure. But I though, as this relates to accessibility, it belonged here. But your world.
#
[tantek] accessibility issues / how to accessible use something makes sense here sure
#
[tantek] How to build/create code for better accessibility -> #indieweb-dev
#
[tantek] how to accessibly* use something
#
[tantek] all code discussions belong in #indieweb-dev

[KevinMarks] [tantek] here's a roundup from 2003 https://web.archive.org/web/20060815183906/https://www.searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2175281
#
[tantek] has anyone used http://skiff.com for private / encrypted email? once again looking at migrating from gmail
#
btrem I want to migrate all my services. Website to netlify maybe? And email to??? Migrating email seems a bit more daunting to me. I suppose because my website is not crucial. If service is interrupted for a day, I doubt anyone would notice.
#
btrem But if email were interrupted, then one person (and one person exactly!) would notice. ;-)

#
[tantek] unless your bounce went back to a publicly archived list 😬
#
[tantek] (why I never set OOTO auto-responders)
#
btrem Yeah, that'd be a bummer.
#
[tantek] speaking of email: from Facebook: "You have 1870 notifications about …" lol I have no desire to wade through that

#
btrem I'm so glad I'm not on Facebook. I mean, I'm on it. But so inactive that almost no one knows.
#
aaronpk same. i even took my birthday off facebook so people don't get prompted to say happy birthday on my wall anymore either 😂

#
[campegg] [tantek] I have not used Skiff, but I have used Proton, and came to the conclusion that the whole encrypted email thing is not worth it… almost no-one else uses it, and unless both parties are, it doesn't mean anything; there's no such thing as "half-encrypted". I ended up going with Fastmail and they've been great. Plus you can set it up so that you can check and send from Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, etc without having to use their interfaces
#
[campegg] (still using their infrastructure, though… but at least you can be relatively certain that you're not missing anything).

#
capjamesg[d] I am not particularly happy with ProtonMail.
#
capjamesg[d] I preferred it before their UX update.
#
capjamesg[d] And even then it wasn't amazing.
#
[tantek] aaronpk, long ago I removed the ability for anyone to write on my wall. I also put tagging (of me) into a moderation queue so *those* didn't show up on my "wall" either
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d] you asked me about prioritizing, was it about writing? One thing I've noticed is that I write better either before noon, or very late at night (when I should be sleeping).
#
[tantek] I'd recommend keeping track (even informally/anecdotally) of how you feel when writing during different times of the day
#
[tantek] might reveal some insights

#
[tantek] I updated the events on my website
yewscion, bret and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] [tantek] you still have a Facebook account?
gRegor joined the channel
#
[tantek] Lol indeed [pfefferle]
#
[tantek] At this point nearly exclusively for Messenger use
#
[tantek] Which is more secure / reliable / device-independent than SMS
#
[aciccarello] I mostly use Facebook for Facebook marketplace
