gRegor you could just write "tantek" :D
#
[tantek] gRegor, I don't always write about myself 😛
#
gRegor "tantek, etc." :D
#
gRegor I filled in something like "general purpose blogging: life, music, tech, humor"

[tantek] interesting, thought we had that one on news already apparently not!
#
[tantek] gRegor, I almost want to enable some sort of "upvoting on categories" feature so signed-in readers could indicate which topic(s) they like more than others to see if any patterns emerge

[tantek] Solid post
#
[tantek] Interesting that UX assumptions in those protocols limit their use across more diverse and designed systems

#
[tantek] anyone have an emoji they like for indicating an actual realtime live stream? E.g. currently live stream from the ISS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3HKLzjvKPc

#
[tantek] nice. I was leaning that way but wasn't sure that would be clear enough. now I need a feature to automatically switch that to ▶️ when the live stream is over and the link turns into a playback link

[tantek] oh goodness another August blogging challenge! Augustory: https://robertbirming.com/augustory-story-blog/
#
[tantek] August << https://robertbirming.com/augustory-story-blog/
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://robertbirming.com/augustory-story-blog/" to the "See Also" section of /August https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=112635&oldid=105059

#
jeffkingdom hhmm, augustory looks better but blaugust sounds better, so what does that make blaugustory?
#
[tantek] I couldn't tell if it was a "post one thing for the month" like a usual monthly blogging challenge like IndieWeb Movie Club or if it was a "post once a day for a month" challenge

#
Shaddycat I was pleasantly shocked when I saw this community hosts it's chat on IRC.
#
[snarfed] among other places! https://indieweb.org/discuss
#
Shaddycat Yeah, it's nice to see the options. Makes me feel like the movement is less performative and actually genuine.
#
Shaddycat Brb need to reboot for updates.

#
[tantek] this is pretty cool in terms of an open source replacement for at least some of what LetterBoxd does: https://eggplant.place/users/klu9/

#
[tantek] (found in a reply to my post about watch posts!)
#
[Mike] I would go with green instead of red for a livestream 🟢 Red is the color of stopping, of warnings, and of alerts... it sounds more like "something wrong" or "stay back, we're recording". Green is the color of going, growing, moving, etc.
#
[tantek] our events use green for zoom on
#
[tantek] I agree red is the color of recording, like a camera is recording you
#
[tantek] I also feel I have seen an icon like a double-sided transmission.e.g: (❨•❩)
#
[tantek] usually animated tho
#
[Mike] Yes... I know the icon you're talking about. I've seen that. That would be a good one but I don't think it's a standard emoji?
#
[tantek] it's not
#
[Mike] https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/signal_9131635?term=broadcast&page=1&position=6&origin=tag&related_id=9131635
#
[tantek] hah yeah
#
[tantek] or https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/stream_8191668
#
[tantek] seems like that would be very useful as an emoji
#
[tantek] maybe I'll have to construct one from some math unicode
#
[Mike] Or you could go old school https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/tower_5014424?term=broadcast&page=1&position=58&origin=tag&related_id=5014424
