[tantek] [snarfed] curious where you saw evidence of parsing microsyntaxes being "brittle". So far I've had no problem with the regex + parsing I use for microsyntaxes in my auto_link and auto_tag functions

#
[tantek] it's worked well enough that I'm thinking there's potential to write it up as a parsing spec

#
prologic Can't your just parse the HTML and use standard document wiry functions ?
#
[tantek] microsyntax is not HTML
#
prologic Call Diane better than side HTML attributes?
#
prologic Wtf
#
prologic Aren't they embedded inside HTML attributes ?
#
[tantek] Nah, plain text in content!
#
prologic Example?
#
prologic This is different from micro formats ?

#
prologic I need a way to tell apart a mapping of alias -> url and tell the difference between a twtxt uri and an activity pub actor uri
#
prologic any ideas? is there a convention?

[felix_wenzel73] Hi, I am quite new to all this: I’ve managed to be able to post to Twitter via brid.gy. However, it just posts the title + the URL. How can I add context to this Tweet, like “check out this new post on my site”?
#
[felix_wenzel73] My website is spieltagsgedichte.de

#
[KevinMarks] So, I have decentralize.dev (and decentralise.dev) they expire on Tuesday. Should I renew them? If so what should I put there?

#
[tantek] What is decentralize?
#
Loqi decentralized is an adjective used to describe a system (often a network) where central authority is diminished, delegated, or possibly even eliminated (in that last case also known as fully decentralized or distributed) https://indieweb.org/decentralize

#
[tantek] ^ is that a useful enough redirect destination for those domains [KevinMarks]?
geoffo and pmlnr joined the channel
#
prologic decentralized and distributed should not be mixed though -- they are very different distinct things IMO
AramZS joined the channel
#
[felix_wenzel73] ↩️ Thanks very much.
#
[tantek] prologic, tough to fight that. People have been using them interchangeably for years :/
#
[tantek] And that's not even counting the past few years of crypumpto hijacking the term decentralized as an adjective for their scams
#
prologic Well we have to! It's misleading ad hell yo Liz them and call one the outer and vice versa 😆
bterry joined the channel
#
prologic Yup it's insanity and infuriates me 🤣
#
prologic I'm a big proponent of true decentralized ecosystems as you might know 😆
#
[tantek] That's also unrelated because the domains that Kevinmarks mentions and the page I suggested are both "decentralize"
#
prologic Not this crypto / distributed hype 🤦‍♂️
#
[tantek] Yeah
#
[tantek] Well distributed is its own thing that's related and that's fine
#
prologic Glad I'm not alone in this 🙇‍♂️
#
[tantek] All we can do is help make sure our uses of these terms are distinct in the indieweb wiki
#
[tantek] You're definitely not alone
#
[tantek] What is crypumpto?
#
Loqi cryptocurrency is a use of a proof of work blockchain to create exchange value, has been discussed at some IndieWebCamp sessions, and has in the past been used for personal tip page payments specifically using Bitcoin addresses https://indieweb.org/crypumpto
#
[tantek] That dfn could use some more criticism up front
#
[tantek] Anyway since none of us are actually bothering to build anything with crypumpto, we can take this to #indieweb-chat to vent or to #indieweb-meta to discuss how to improve the wiki
#
prologic 😆
