[tantek] This post seems very IndieWeb "own your reading/consuming experience" aligned: https://stpeter.im/journal/1522.html

Lars-Christian Thanks for sharing [tantek] that was a good read. Will share it on my blog!
#
[tantek] a good reminder of why we do some of the things we do here
#
Lars-Christian Absolutely. That really sums up what it's all about for me.

#
btrem I must disagree with the sentiments of the stpeter.im/journal/ article. To each her/his own, but I'm definitely not using indieweb principles to bury my head in the sand, partially or otherwise.

#
Lars-Christian That's an... interesting take on it

#
btrem Not sure how else to take it. He says there's no point in following the news, it's "mental junk food." And the link was posted here as being "IndieWeb...aligned." For me, it's quite the opposite.
#
btrem I don't think politics is really on-topic here, so I can't really get into it too much. I'd post about it on my site, but I don't really want to pick a fight with some random writer, especially since he didn't make any IndieWeb connection.

#
[tantek] yep, ok to direct politics chat to #indieweb-random
#
btrem But the more I think about it, the more I think that article is the very /inverse/ of IndieWeb principles. As always with these things, YMMV.
#
btrem I'm pretty sure I don't want to discuss politics in #random, either.
#
capjamesg[d] gregsarjeant Great to see you at HWC Edinburgh!
#
[tantek] btrem, fair

carrvo [dave], what is this "zero-website approach" you speak of? It could be that this is simply the wrong community for you (since they are website oriented) but I certainly hope you find one more aligned with yourself.
#
carrvo re: stpeter.im I find myself a bit more in-between. I find a lot of "news outlets"/"individual news posts" to be generally unproductive (and don't follow as much as I should). But it is also unfair and segregating to completely ignore local or global events (cough, cough, Trump).

[dave] @carrvo I think it’s important to legitimize approaches like HTML over email, via p2p file transfers, or simply writing it but never sharing it with anyone ever.

#
carrvo Ah, "zero-website" as in "zero-public" but using similar technologies for direct communication or personal documents.
#
carrvo My website is on a home server with a "private first, public if you want to" approach. So fairly similar but not as extreme.
#
[schmarty] 7 days until is David Millar still carrying the bit? 😏
