morganwebdev Hey there, picking back up on the Ublock origin or similar content hiding feature on Linkedin, I found I was able to add a filter for "www.linkedin.com##aside[aria-label='Aside']" that hides the news feed part of the layout.
# morganwebdev Ill add something to the wiki sometime or blog about it

lesleylai morganwebdev: I used something similar for Github before I jumped ship https://gist.github.com/LesleyLai/ae381406628bcfef5a470b9542eeb1d9 . It's a cat and mouse game, though, and can easily break when they change UI
# morganwebdev That makes a lot of sense. The UI class names are almost all intentionally obfuscated, but at least to my eyes there were a few more permanent ones liken aria-labels. But those could change.

Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "uBlock Origin" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "uBlock Origin is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 
[Mike] uBlock Origin is an ad blocking browser plugin that allows users to subscribe to a selection of blocklists and/or create their own per-site element-filtering rules using a CSS-like selector syntax. Several Indieweb chat members use it to dynamically page sections they don’t want to see on sites like YouTube, LinkedIn, and GitHub. As of Sep. 2026, it is currently available for the Firefox, Brave, and Edge browsers.
# [Mike] @morganwebdev and @lesleylai if one of you wants to create a section of uBO rule examples and list your own, the page is at https://indieweb.org/uBlock_Origin . I’ll add mine when I’m back at my laptop.

# [mikemai2awesom] re: dl. fyi it's "description list" rather than "definition list". still, table would be a better fit for your case.

# [Mike] @morganwebdev It appears Vivaldi updated to a newer chromium core that uses manifest v3, so, no more uBlock Origin. https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/119622/vivaldi-8.1-disabled-ublock-origin.-now-what/2
[Murray] joined the channel
# 
[Murray] Ah right you are! That passed me by; last I saw on this someone was claiming the opposite (that Vivaldi was either keeping support going, a la Brave, or actively integrating uBlock into the browser itself). I see they have kind of gone with the latter, but not with uBlock itself, which is a shame. My bad 🙂

rubenwardy New content type on my site https://blog.rubenwardy.com/photos/2026/09/08/childhood/
# rubenwardy Gotta work out how to properly mark these up
# rubenwardy What is multi-photo
# Loqi A multi-photo (also called a carousel on Instagram) is a photo post with multiple adjacent photos, either in a series, or tiled / arranged in some layout https://indieweb.org/multi-photo
# rubenwardy Also wondering if I should back date the galleries based on when they were taken. Probably not

# 
[aciccarello] I have a few draft posts summarizing past travel. Do we have a term for those kinds of posts since they aren't actually (back) dated but aren't really about recent activity?
# [aciccarello] What is a throwback?
# Loqi A throwback is a current post of content from some time ago, typically at least days, often years https://indieweb.org/throwback
# [aciccarello] Ha, I didn't read the scrollback well enough.
# [aciccarello] I typically only backdate a post if it was either posted somewhere else in the past (PESOS) or for certain types of activities that I did on that date (e.g. read/travel)
benji joined the channel
# [aciccarello] Maybe not those first two but I would distinguish an activity or post that is past dated from a post about some significantly old activity (throwback).
# [aciccarello] I'm thinking about my draft blog posts from my 2022 trip to Italy.
# [aciccarello] In regards to the original question of photos, I don't typically see photo posts as indicative of the date they were taken so I probably wouldn't backdate them.

# machinefolly It's a funny line. I think of throwback content as throwing back to something you've posted before. If you haven't posted it then it's new to your audience even if not new to you.
# [aciccarello] Oh that's interesting. I hadn't thought of reposting your own content
# machinefolly That said, even like Facebook "on this day" will show you your own private posts and you can repost them publicly and react as a throwback
# machinefolly It also makes me think of the pluralistic.net "Object permanence" where at the bottom of every post it links to other "on this day" posts through time
