#
manuelmoreale Hey there! Finally decided to join the chat. Spent way too much time poking around the IndieWeb site in the past couple of months and I thought it was time to do a stop here and say hi
#
capjamesg Welcome, manuelmoreale[d] !
#
[KevinMarks] hi [olebrussels] and welcome. Do you have a personal website?
#
capjamesg I love the design of your personal website. Your interview with Ana for the People and Blogs series was great!
#
manuelmoreale [KevinMarks]: I definitely do https://manuelmoreale.com
#
manuelmoreale capjamesg[d]: Thank you! I'm having so much fun running that series

#
[jamietanna] https://mastodon.social/@mcc/111999498962380532 is very cool, I assume we probably wouldn't be able to plug it in directly to Microsub, but someone could build something on top of it to do so?
#
[KevinMarks] You'd need a microsub to Mastodon api converter, yes. Which would be work.
#
Loqi hey [jamietanna] [KevinMarks]: we try to keep jargon (Microsub, API) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?

#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] hi! 👋
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] i did stop by at the end-ish, but i was still trying to figure out the format so i only lurked
#
capjamesg What is your domain name?
#
capjamesg At HWC, you're welcome to lurk, ask questions, participate in discussions -- whatever you'd like to do!

#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] just deployed it yesterday, the plan is to do everything progressively so it's still very rough
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] thanks, first impression is that it's a very friendly community!
#
capjamesg Ooooh!
#
capjamesg Very cool typography!
#
capjamesg That songbook looks beautiful.
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] thanks! gonna add links to everything soon, but in the meantime here it is https://github.com/jpesce/great-latex-songbook

#
[KevinMarks] You can render LaTeX to svg for web display
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] for math formulas, for example?
#
[KevinMarks] Yes, that was my original use case, but your paginated songbook could work that way as well.
#
[KevinMarks] eg http://www.tlhiv.org/ltxpreview/
#
manuelmoreale [Joao_Paulo_Pes]: Oh hi! Small world
tPoltergeist, jacky and bterry joined the channel
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] [KevinMarks] apparently you can convert LaTeX directly to html (https://tug.org/tex4ht/), so for full page documents it might be a better idea? but for math notation and possibly other small pieces of information (diagrams?) that's indeed a great tool! i think even Notion uses it for that

#
iammnchrm i was about to set up a wordpress site for myself... backpedaling... time to search for alternatives
#
Prullenman time to move my last wordpress.com site to a semi-self hosting setup....
#
capjamesg This is a real shame to see.
#
[tantek] wow
#
[tantek] do we need a page on this phenomenon of silos selling user contributed content for AI training? earlier: https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/17/24075670/reddit-ai-training-license-deal-user-content
#
capjamesg iammnchrm[d] Do you have a personal website? (Forgive me if I have asked already 😂 )
#
iammnchrm not yet, I'm not that tech-savy
#
iammnchrm i'm currently learning how to do it
#
capjamesg Ah! Exciting!
#
capjamesg To the extent we can be helpful, let us know!
#
iammnchrm will do, thanks for letting me know ^^
#
capjamesg You are most welcome! Making websites is fun! Helping people make websites is just as fun!

nsmsn This Automattic news only applies to WordPress.com and not other WP hosts?
#
jacky nothing stops other ones from following along (which is the defacto mode for most tech companies)

[tantek] pretty sure also Tumblr
#
[tantek] also what happens to content that goes through the WP .com JetPack plugin?
