wturrell I couldn't figure out how to edit the 'past meetings' table on https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club (I'm guessing it's auto-generated and broken?) so I added a direct link to the /archive page (keep getting frustrated trying to find recent notes.)
#
[capjamesg] Are you talking about https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#Meetings?
#
[capjamesg] If so, that is to show future meetings, and is automatically generated.
#
[capjamesg] Oh, wait, do you mean the table below that? Sorry, my bad.
#
[capjamesg] That is manually edited. You can edit it here: https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Homebrew_Website_Club&action=edit.

#
[capjamesg] That table is incredibly difficult to edit though so no worries if you don’t want to touch it.
#
[capjamesg] We really need a script to generate it 😂
#
wturrell "No such action" (maybe it's restricted to certain people?)
#
wturrell oh whoops sorry, trailing period
#
[capjamesg] Ah it might be.
#
[capjamesg] The table tends to fall out of sync because it’s manually edited, but the archive page you linked will always be up to date.
#
[capjamesg] Nice addition wturrell++
#
Loqi wturrell has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (2 in all channels)
#
wturrell I'll see if I can do add a few later. Never had to edit a wiki template before…
#
Loqi [capjamesg], wturrell: would you mind moving this more technical conversation (PHP, template) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
[capjamesg] (This discussion should be in #indieweb-meta, not #indieweb-dev 👀 )

herenti gov's around the world are really going after anything that undermines big tech, or that promotes privacy lately

#
[tantek] herenti, do you have a blog post about that?
cotsuka and [schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] i shared one earlier via web chat. looks like it didn't come through on slack, at least. https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/08/29/autistici-inventati-trump-terrorists-news/8491452/

aaronpk huh, it came through irc

#
wturrell FWIW I'm not sensing a great deal of love for big-tech from outside north america right now? Obsessions with AI, perhaps (of course, governments have never been especially privacy conscious)
wturrell joined the channel
#
[tantek] wturrell, I'd say the widespread adoption of "AI" (LLM/GenAI) far outside north america is a tacit approval/love of "big tech"
#
[tantek] but perhaps a better topic for #indieweb-random
