oof I think my IndieAuth implementation is officially out of date now lol
#
jacky
because I can't sign into Aperture
#
jacky
I'm also seeing new parameters (code_challenge?)
#
jacky
oooh there _is_ an update
#
jacky
this is good

I might have to 'stamp' my version of IndieAuth against the latest version somehow

aaronpk
ah yeah i need to fis that still
#
aaronpk
i didn’t know openid.net even had login for anything
#
aaronpk
if you change the redirect URL in the URL to add the https://indieauth.com then it works
#
[KevinMarks]
This was the voting link
#
[KevinMarks]
I could login with Google but that seems not quite the spirit of things
#
aaronpk
the real irony is that their login uses the deprecated (according to them) OpenID 1
KartikPrabhu and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle]
and for the internal login (member area) they still use the janrain service…

If you're using http://data-vocabulary.org structured data, keep in mind that we no longer support that format for rich results: https://twitter.com/googlesearchc/status/1322236415816560640

[pfefferle]
ah, [kevinmarks] also used the members login… as far as I know, it is the (old) janrain widget, that runs on a subdomain.

in other news, looks like my simple anti-spam trick worked https://i.imgur.com/c6H0KMi.png

Back in the day, web devs were warned not to use elements with class in a single css selector, e.g., `p.foo {}`or `div.bar`. Is that still considered best practice? If so, why? If anyone has any relevant links, I'd love to see them.
#
btrem
Old articles tend to discuss the processing cost on browsers, but I hardly think that's relevant these days.
#
[tantek]
[KevinMarks] do you mean (moving from #indieweb) use mastodon as a micropub client? interesting
#
[KevinMarks]
It feels like they have most of the pieces already

#
[tantek]
right, I suppose a Mastodon user could setup POSSE that way too

#
[fluffy]
that’d certainly be a better setup than my current janky series of tubes
#
[fluffy]
atom -> ifttt -> twitter -> mastodon 😛
#
[tantek]
POSSE *to* masto would require Mastodon to be a Micropub server
#
[KevinMarks]
Or a silo.pub style adaptor

I think I'm going to add some classes and use elementname.classname in my css and see if it causes problems in my workflow.
#
jacky
scoping CSS is hard in general :)

what is indieaurth
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "indieaurth" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "indieaurth is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jacky
what is indieauth
#
Loqi
IndieAuth is a federated login protocol for Web sign-in, enabling users to use their own domain to sign in to other sites and services https://indieweb.org/IndieAuth

aaronpk
i found that in some jerk's "well actually" twitter reply and was like "hey isn't this thing editable?" then went to check if anyone else had already suggested it
#
aaronpk
honestly i didn't realize people still believed so strongly that html "isn't programming" 🙄 but wowwwww
#
[tantek]
yeah it was an excellent 🍯
[Rose] joined the channel
#
btrem
Hmm. I've always thought html is not a programming language. But I'm not really interested in an argument atm, so I'll happily stipulate to whatever.
#
aaronpk
sure it has very different properties compared to turing-complete programming languages, but the point was more about the gatekeeping around the idea
