[Al_Abut] [tantek] I know some women that use Nightshade and related tools because they don’t want their profile pics used for nefarious purposes.

# [lcs] Anyone have any thoughts on this design choice I'm contemplating making on my website? https://lars-christian.com/notes/48afebd2c2/
# [lcs] I can't decide!
# 
[aciccarello] [lcs] I've been wondering about a similar design question on my site. I like how the border wraps up short posts but it feels constraining on articles
# [aciccarello] Here are a few examples:
jgee118692253458 joined the channel
# [lcs] Yeah that's exactly my feelings as well! It looks great the way you're doing it with your posts, but I also feel that it's constraining in a way that's hard to define and explain beyond some vague notion.
# [lcs] I'm sure someone well versed in design can explain it.
# 
bacardi55[m] FWIW, I do like those borders on short content, I like them a lot less on longer content - but that's just me :]
Ezri7 joined the channel
# [lcs] Thanks, I agree. Wish I could express why, because visually I'm convinced it "looks" better even with longer content.
mitchsucksatgame joined the channel
# [aciccarello] I think I'd like to drop the borders eventually for all post kinds but I'd need to figure out how to clearly separate the author/responses section.

# [lcs] Yeah I tried that [sknebel] and I thought the outcome was, exactly like you said, that the "fluff" ended up dominating the content.
# [lcs] Let us know when you're experimenting with it [aciccarello] I want to see what you end up with
# [aciccarello] It'll probably be a while. I could easily get sucked into another hole if I start changing things. I'm changing too much already. 😅

# [Tilley] I like wrapping smaller bits of content too. I think it helps focus your eyes and attention. It can also be useful on longer content if it's really subtle. Also, never underestimate the power of a well placed `<hr>`
# [Tilley] Or even a really subtle gradient
# [Tilley] Though webkit and everything else display gradients different and that's annoying
# [lcs] Good points [Tilley]
# [lcs] I guess the conclusion is continue to experiment and see what works best
# [Tilley] I have good ideas on occasion

# [Scout] i just found this interesting event. i hope it's okay to put here? surely anything to do with wikidata relates to indieweb or at least will be of interest to indiewebbers? feel free to redirect me 🙂
# [Scout] > The aim of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers, activists, and artists investigating or applying queer approaches to data and technology to meet in an open and inclusive venue, share their latest work, and engage in fruitful discussion.
# [Scout] > The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (http://wigedi.com) is delighted to present *Queer Data Days*, a two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform.
# [Scout] > During the event, speakers with different backgrounds — both academic and non-academic — will share short papers on a broad range of topics including queer data, queer identities, queer language, data justice and power, queer design, and queer communities on digital platforms.

# [Riccardo_Cambi] 👋 I just wanted to say! I had the best time at the IndieWebCamp (Brighton) last Saturday and came home with a lot of ideas and energy. I'm sure one of these days I'll even break the barrier and finally (re)publish the site 😏
# [Riccardo_Cambi] You're an amazing community.

[qubyte] Late to the colophon party, but here’s mine. I might be slightly stretching the terminology though. Mostly I wrote it as an antidote to the _about my site_ posts I keep writing. https://qubyte.codes/colophon

# [qubyte] Thanks folks. One thing I will say about netlify… stick to the well trodden paths. I’ve had nasty issues with their edge functions and server caching behaviour. Basic build plugins and functions are great for dynamic stuff like micropub and webmentions. For _anything_ header related, you’re better off compiling a `_headers` file at build time.

# Loqi A post is either a piece of content or the act of publishing that content (usually in a way that is shared) https://indieweb.org/what_to_blog
# [Joao_Paulo_Pes] !tell [qubyte] tried to webmention your colophon at https://pesce.cc/colophon using the form at the end of your page, but received a "Not found!" page afterwards. not sure if it worked, so may this message serve as an oldschool webmention
# [aciccarello] I'm feeling the itch to make a shared website that I don't have time to build. How do I stop myself?
# [aciccarello] I keep thinking about this one https://www.ciccarello.me/posts/2024/02/14/plant-blog/ but I know it'd be a huge time sink
# capjamesg On spring cleaning: https://jamesg.blog/2024/03/14/spring-cleaning/
# [aciccarello] Good for you capjamesg. You do start up a lot of projects so I'm glad you're prioritizing.
# [aciccarello] I wonder what you'll do with those subdomains? Can you easily redirect them to the spring cleaning post so it's clear what happened to them?
# [qubyte] [Joao_Paulo_Pes] there were like a thousand things wrong with my webmention endpoint. I’d wondered why it’d gone so quiet! It works for your colophon now. All it does is create an issue. My volume is so low (obviously 🤦) that I just do basic automated checks, and manually add them to posts. https://github.com/qubyte/qubyte-codes/issues/949
# [aciccarello] That's true, you had lots of domains too. I'm trying to force myself to use subdomains first until I really commit to a project.
# [aciccarello] [qubyte] That's a creative solution
# [aciccarello] Wow 20+ is a lot!
# [Joao_Paulo_Pes] [qubyte] thanks! next step: functions for webmentions, posse etc. your code will definitely be used as an inspiration for that
