what is humans.txt
#
Loqi
Well-known refers to designating a common URL on domains for data to be located typically automatically by some software (like a browser or a search engine), and is generally an antipattern to be avoided, because it breaks the portability of content across directories and systems; see follow your nose instead https://indieweb.org/Humans.txt

#
gRegor
Welcome!
#
gRegor
I'm a bit mixed on sitemap.xml, Google says it's a hint to their crawler, no guarantee it will get crawled faster. Also be careful if you include lastMod in it, they can ding you if that's included and not accurate.
#
gRegor
Maybe helpful if you're entirely de-indexed and want to index a large site though
#
gRegor
They also support a plaintext format, one URL per line, which I found interesting.

#
gRegor
what is mug
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "mug" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "mug is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[mattl]
yeah, i like emdash but its annoying to type -- on iOS. Does Loqi support emoji?
#
gRegor
Don't think so

what is popup
#
Loqi
🏕 Pop-ups are one-time IndieWeb events covering a specific topic, similar to an IndieWebCamp session, or a pop-up Homebrew Website Club in a new location. The IndieWeb community is planning upcoming pop-ups — if you'd like to help, please contribute to this page https://indieweb.org/popup
#
gRegor
Ended the HWC stream
#
gRegor

#
capjamesg
GWG gRegor Angelo I encourage you all to get a pop up on the calendar after coordinating on dates!

gRegor
And benji! ^^
#
GWG
matt, lurking in the Eastern meeting, but occupied for a bit, so won't be there at start
#
gRegor
Already on the interested list, haha
#
capjamesg
And Benji too!
#
GWG
Too late to vote for July, right?
#
gRegor
Unless someone will have made the indieweb time machine
#
capjamesg
What is a time machine?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "time machine" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "time machine is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[mattl]
GWG you can vote for July but it’ll cost you all of your karma in this channel 😉
#
GWG
I was just highlighting we need to update the proposed dates
#
aaronpk
i have always wondered what we could make people spend karma on
#
capjamesg
aaronpk A HWC pin badge!
#
[mattl]
I’m saving up my karma to get Loqi to record a voicemail greeting
#
gRegor
Discussed some in random channel
#
capjamesg
[artlung] I don't know if you already found it but this is the menu to switch accounts in Zoom when you aren't in a meeting:
#
capjamesg
You have to be signed in to both accounts at the same time in the Zoom native application.
#
capjamesg
I just set this up so I will not accidentally join espresso chats from the IWC account.
#
[artlung]
right. when I've had the issue with gRegor on my co-unworking where he got a notification I was signed in only with my personal account. The app/browser split has nuance that is not at all obvious.
#
capjamesg
Hm this is strange. I was on my account but it still joined the IndieWeb zoom with the IWC account.
#
gRegor
I think if you're signed in on web to the IndieWeb account and join one of our meeting links, it defaults to that account, not what you have as the current account in the Zoom desktop app
#
gRegor
Which I think does not apply to Joe's Co-Unworking Zooms
#
[mattl]
[tantek] you’re missing OpenDoc conversation on IWC
#
[tantek]
darn it! have a work meeting conflict
