#schmarty[aarongustafson]++ ! I look forward to playing with this new plugin! I currently have no automatic outgoing webmentions (or tracking of mentions sent, since I use telegraph).
#sknebelaww, I wanted to get Kaja to the point of doing that tomorrow. well, next time ;)
#sknebel(oh, btw, Zegnat: we're going to stay with normal schedule at least for the next few times, so it can be added by default for now. locations still TBA tho)
#ZegnatWe should make a list of which HWCs we consider regulars, so we have something to point at during Leaders
#ZegnatIf someone feels like fixing up the display of /friending#Facebook: please! I thought I would get some screenshots in but it really doesn’t look good.
#Zegnattantek, I hope that makes it somewhat more clear how Facebook handles friends, as well as family relationship status
#petermolnarnpm, such a blessing to have a reliable, decently organized, secure system...

#LoqiThe IndieWeb Community is largely based on principles (AKA tenets) such as own your data, scratch your own itches, build tools for yourself, selfdogfood, document your stuff, open source your stuff, UX design is more important than protocols, visible data for humans first and machines second, platform agnostic platforms, plurality over monoculture, longevity, and remember to have fun! https://indieweb.org/principles
#Loqi[Ben Roberts] Hello, Ben Roberts from the Social Web Working Group and Social Web Incubator Community Group and the W3C (that second one is open to the public if you are interested in joining). I was looking for some feedback.
In yesterday's Social Web Incubat...
#ben_thatmustbemeshould probably shop the idea around here too though, if webfinger were replaced with just a template to go user@host->url or just @url -> url (that one is much simpler haha) what would be the interet in here?
#LoqiWebFinger is a discovery protocol for the web that uses email address-like identifiers to get info about users; it has been largely superseded on the indieweb by the use of personal web sites and representative h-card https://indieweb.org/WebFinger
#Zegnatah, another instance of “superseded” that might be questionable.
#ben_thatmustbemeyeah, there is some credence to the (people don't really remember urls) argument
#ben_thatmustbemebut the user@host get confused with email, which can be problematic if you don't have that email
#ben_thatmustbemeand none of them (except for friendica's implementation) support subdirs
#Zegnat@user@host makes sense for mastodon. It follows silo mention conventions of starting a mention with @. The extra @host is needed for federation.
#ZegnatIs @host required on Mastodon? Or can it be left off when mentioning a user on the same instance?
#schmartyZegnat: @user is sufficient when mentioning a user on the same instance you are posting from.
#ZegnatThe Mastodon syntax makes sense to me then :)
#Zegnatpetermolnar the inclusivity thing is a new pet peeve of mine where people seem to read the IndieWeb wiki and then say we are against or excluding specific tech. Which we shouldn’t be doing, that’s not what IndieWeb is about. Open Web and selfdogfooding mean you can use whatever you want.
#ZegnatI think it was cweiske who pointed out our (sometimes liberal) use of the word superseded. So that’s one thing I fix when I see it.
#petermolnardiscouraging something doesn't mean excluding it
#petermolnarbut I do agree some tech should be left behind
#ZegnatHighlighting criticisms and linking to alternatives is fine. Saying Tech A has been superseded by Tech B in the definition of Tech A should only be done when that is actually the case.
#ZegnatI am not turning around and starting my implementation of WebFist just yet ;)
#ben_thatmustbememany specs get such treatment as they didn't dogfood before going to spec and as such are really under developed and awkward. I think its fair to be critical of such specifications. claiming superseded is definitely not the correct term
#ben_thatmustbemeat the same point there are a set of "accepted" indieweb building blocks, So i'm not sure we are really inclusive of everything any more
#ben_thatmustbemelook at what you have to use to refer to users on known now
#aaronpktrue, i think that email vs URL argument was based around the idea of example.com/user vs just a top-level domain
#aaronpkbecause the early webfinger discussions were not centered around the idea of each person having their own domain
#tantekyeah, the early webfinger discussions assumed a model of a small number of large silos where users all have accounts
#tantekreally crappy model for any standards discussion / creation
#aaronpki was looking back at the FSWS 2010 pictures and was kind of surprised how everyone there was representing building a service to host tons of users
#Zegnatben_thatmustbeme re rememberability, the nice thing about URLs for identity over some WebFinger:ed accn-uri is that the prior are often discoverable through search engines users are already familiar with.
#tantekZegnat, anything meta or about community e.g. exclusive or not - can we please do that in #indieweb-dev? the typical user does not care about that kind of meta
#ZegnatWait... which meta conversation? Happy to move, please point at the topic that needs to move here.
#tantekZegnat: anything where anyone is criticizing community rather than technology
#tanteke.g. "calls us out for" <-- refers to community / people
#tantekas opposed to discussing a *user feature* (e.g. "likes"), or a *technology* (e.g. Webmention)
#ZegnatOooh, you’re looking at a topic yesterday. That was mostly in context to a tweet being brought into the chat by Loqi, but I can see what you mean :) Noted.
#ZegnatI was scrolling all the way back to where I logged on this morning and got really confused for a second
#tantekalright, "superseded" is definitely a dev term
#tantekwe should not be afraid or shirk from declaring what tech has been shown to be better by real world implementations, selfdogfooding etc. essentially, what tech has been shown to be better per indieweb principles
#tantekand thus first RelMeAuth was developed as a building block, then IndieAuth.com the service, and eventually IndieAuth the protocol
#aaronpkwhile that is true, i do think there are (were?) some specific instances on the wiki where the term "superseded" was applied a bit too generously
#ZegnatYes. And even as a dev term I feel that it is easy to misuse. E.g. OpenID was superseded by OpenID 2.0 which was superseded by OpenID Connect, spec wise. The IndieWeb went with an alternative, but the use of the tech term superseding seemed out of place imho.
#tantekbut we should continue to speak when something we develop supersedes other specs that we *tried*
#ZegnatOpenID and WebFinger I changed. Our tech is different and (possibly, probably) a better alternative, but I feel superseding was a weird word choice
#[kevinmarks]those are based on implementation experience
gRegorLove joined the channel
#Zegnat[kevinmarks], sure, but on any standards track, especially because of the tech meaning on the word supersede (which is often used when one spec obsoletes another), OpenID was not superseded by websignin, it was superseded by OpenID Connect.
#ZegnatI don’t think the IndieWeb movement (and thus wiki) should be calling out what tech is superseding what other tech *shrug*
#[kevinmarks]in practice, OpenID was superseded by "login with facebook"
#Zegnataaronpk, tantek, I read you are going to take a look at Vidyo after Leaders? Should I stay on standbye for a test of cross-atlantic streaming?
[miklb] and j12t joined the channel
#aaronpkZegnat: we're getting info from the mozilla tech people tomorrow afternoon, not sure we'll have a chance then to test with you, also it will be kind of late (3pm pacific)
#Zegnat1500 to 1600 would be 2400 to 0100 for me. That’s not a problem. I will be making my way onto a PDX schedule after Leaders anyway to attend the rest of IWS.
#Loqi[dissolve] single-emoji-recognizer: determine if some text contains a single emoji or not. useful in determining if a reply is a "reacji" or actual text
#[miklb]aaronpk, oh, your library looks like it will make my life that much easier. I had glanced at dissolve’s library already, but it didn’t click on how to use it.
