capjamesg[d] That alt text generator thread is amazing.
# capjamesg[d] The main benefit of image recognition — helping those who cannot see or who struggle to see an image understand it’s contents — requires accuracy.
# capjamesg[d] The examples in that thread were powerful.
# capjamesg[d] Indeed, NLP, etc. doesn’t really understand humans.
# capjamesg[d] Same with image recognition.

# capjamesg[d] I had no idea you could do rel=in-reply-to
# capjamesg[d] I just saw it on the Indiewebify site.
# capjamesg[d] “When marked up with h-entry and rel=in-reply-to and/or class=u-in-reply-to, your reply can show up as a comment on the original post.”

Seb[d] keep in mind that with rel=, the relation is for the whole document. So: don’t use it when displaying a feed of replies, stick with class=u-in-reply-to there.
# Seb[d] also: I don’t think my site parses rel=in-reply-to, for the Mf2 version is more common.
# capjamesg[d] How is it designed to be used?
# capjamesg[d] In a link tag? A header? Or just a regular anchor a link?
# Seb[d] I have no idea, I don’t use it.
# Seb[d] https://indieweb.org/reply#FAQ
# capjamesg[d] That’s useful. Thanks Seb++

# capjamesg[d] I was thinking that.
# capjamesg[d] That rel support is not well documented and doesn’t seem like a best practice for beginners.
# capjamesg[d] In contrast to just the class.

# capjamesg[d] I guess speed and privacy are what I look for in a browser. And no prompts to sign up to something / connect an account / that sort of thing.
# capjamesg[d] Basically, not Chrome.

# capjamesg[d] Every time I sign in to my Google account on Chrome I am synced by default.

Murray[d] If you're on Windows/Linux then either Firefox or non-Chrome Chromium (e.g. Brave) are your best options. Personally, I trust Mozilla and Opera more than any of the more recent forks, so those are my primary and secondary browsers right now. If you're on Mac or iOS then you also have Safari, largely seems okay, but it's been years since I've used it properly 😄

@bnijenhuis ↩️ Do it, David Darnes. With the automatic deployments that Netlify offers it should be simple. I'm not hosting on Netlify, and don't have regular deployments, so I'm getting the webmentions clientside. Other than that, it's nice to see the interaction on your own website.

@ariadneconill ↩️ no, it's not. that's what portable identity can solve though: you can just host your own instance, but everyone can still join, as if it were federated.
and we can tie that to pre-existing portable ID standards like IndieAuth (twitter.com/_/status/1457857319748968451)
