# 
[tantek] I'm curious about ways that IndieWeb practices (original content, POSSE) could be used to fight misinformation, or perhaps better framed, displace misinformation with more citable information, with better provenance. Has any considered ways to use their personal site to fight or otherwise displace misinformation?
# [tantek] Especially in the face of small/medium/large companies embracing, enabling, or otherwise amplifying slop, e.g. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/ai-news-story-hoodline-19442459.php

# [KevinMarks] Also explicitly sending linked pages to archive services helps

jeremycherfas I think I have automated sending links to archive . org but I don't actually check the result. Wondering whether to add that, at least in the event of failure.

# [Al_Abut] We talked about citizen journalism at the popup about social norms. What sparked it is that some of my photos from a citizen science event got spotted on IG and they asked to use it in their writeup: https://rewildmissionbay.org/2024/01/30/exploring-natures-force-a-recap-of-wandering-the-king-tides-event/
# [Al_Abut] What’s cool is that kind of grassroots publicity works for local events. Just a few short months later they got the city council to approve improvements and expansion for their initiatives.
# [Al_Abut] And it’s also a good example of POSSE - they use their blog for everything and promote heavily on IG.

# [contact898] the indieweb events calendar is being weird again, is the homebrew web club now or in an hour?
# jeremycherfas In an hour, I believe.
# [contact898] my calendar says 7pm french time (ie. 6pm UK)
# [contact898] this says 8pm https://events.indieweb.org/2024/05/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-1UvVxccFFGsb
# [contact898] and this says 7pm https://hwclondon.co.uk/ (so i guess i got it from there)
# [contact898] and the http://events.indieweb.org homepage says 7pm with no timezone indication, but it also says december 2023
# 
aaronpk this says 7pm, i don't know where you're seeing 8pm https://media.aaronpk.com/2024/05/22100530-7784.png
# jeremycherfas https://hwclondon.co.uk says 18:00 British Summer Time, which is plain wrong. HWC starts at 19:00 British Summer Time.
# jeremycherfas In other news, timezones are hard.
# jeremycherfas https://events.indieweb.org/tag/hwclondon seems not to have been updated in a while.
# jeremycherfas Or perhaps the tag is no longer in use?
# jeremycherfas I'm too infrequent an attendee to notice.
# jeremycherfas But hope to be there tonight (if I can finish packing).
# [contact898] I said 8pm french, so 7pm London, which is what is showing
# jeremycherfas I think [contact898] was saying that 7pm BST would be 8PM CEST, for them in France, as it will be for me in Italy.
# jeremycherfas Well I never! Missed that.
# jeremycherfas Very clever. aaronpk++
# [contact898] thanks! I'll fix my calendar

# harbinger_of_decay Hi! I'm Paddy a hobbyist WebDev from the UK 🙂 having tried and failed to get a job woth an agency i've gone back to being a builder. But I still love the internet, if not the corporate millieu we find ourselves in.
# harbinger_of_decay I own the domains paddy-mccabe.com and paddymccabe.com which were my webdev portfolio and my freelancing business respectively. I have taken them down now and am mulling over what to do with them.
# harbinger_of_decay I am thinking that paddy-mccabe.com should be another webdev portfolio but with none of the old corporate crap but focussed more on the more awesome stuff I have built in the past like browser games or gaming web-apps.

# [Joe_Crawford] I don't see dark mode at all. Setting my OS to dark mode doesn't register any change. I don't see a preference in https://indieweb.org/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering
# suki harbinger_of_decay[d]: Long ago my domain was meant to become a software company. That never panned out and decades ago I repurposed it for a personal website with not a single thought given to SEO as well. You are not alone. ~ tritarget.org
# [Joe_Crawford] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dark_mode#:~:text=Users%20of%20the%20Vector%202022,in%20the%20%22Appearance%22%20menu: _"Users of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vector_2022 skin can enable dark mode by enabling "Accessibility for reading (Vector 2022)" in the "Beta features" section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences, then setting the option to "dark" in the "Appearance" menu." ... so that means the
# [Joe_Crawford] skin may have it in there._
# [Joe_Crawford] In the IndieWeb wiki I do not see "Beta features" 🤷
