[eddie] tantek: Jekyll/Abode
#
[eddie] Abode is a node.js backend that manipulates my static jekyll site
#
[eddie] So Abode handles IndieAuth, Micropub and Jekyll rebuilds. Jekyll handles HTML with mf2 templates
#
[eddie] My goal is to sometime this year is to leave Jekyll completely and shift Abode to be serverless
#
jacky [eddie]: that looks interesting
#
jacky I currently serve https://jacky.wtf/ as a Jekyll site
#
jacky [eddie]: is that hosted on github or somewhere?

[eddie] !tell jacky Hey, abode is a JavaScript based Server app. So it has to run in a Node.js compatible environment. I run it on a virtual server from DreamHost

aaronpk what is jargon?
#
Loqi jargon is a specific unobvious word, concept, or technology (like Webmention), or re-use of a word to mean something other than its common meaning (like feed), or sometimes re-using a word as an acronym (like POSSE) https://indieweb.org/jargon
#
aaronpk jargon << "Don't use acronyms or nonsense words for objects, software or processes at Tesla. In general, anything that requires an explanation inhibits communication. We don't want people to have to memorize a glossary just to function at Tesla."

aaronpk !block @getIndieBill
#
Loqi Okay, I blocked "getIndieBill" from all IndieWeb Twitter searches
#
[jgmac1106] Acronyms also reek havoc on localisation efforts
#
[jgmac1106] though they usually just become new words entirely in non-English languages

sknebel aaronpk: didn't you want to have X days of posts sprint before IWS? if yes, soon-ish is probably the time to plan and announce that

#
tantek [eddie], petermolnar I updated the /Netflix page more expliictly note its silo-like aspects and segment the How to section accordingly, e.g. https://indieweb.org/Netflix#How_to_PESOS - feel free to iterate
#
tantek what is Netflix
#
Loqi Netflix is a subscription service for on-demand video streaming and a silo of lists of shows you want to watch, shows you have watched, and lists of shows you like (or dislike) https://indieweb.org/Netflix
#
tantek I'm kinda surprised Netflix doesn't just let you "check in" to any random show / movie you've watched
#
tantek because that would theoretically add to their recommendation engine data set
#
tantek perhaps they will buy one of those show/movie "check in" services just for that
#
tantek what is reddit
#
Loqi Reddit is a link aggregator and bulletin board site where community members may submit links and text posts, vote on the submitted entries, and post comments on them https://indieweb.org/Reddit
#
tantek Reddit << Criticism: 2018-04-19 New York Magazine: [http://nymag.com/selectall/2018/04/dan-mccomas-reddit-product-svp-and-imzy-founder-interview.html ‘I Fundamentally Believe That My Time at Reddit Made the World a Worse Place’] / A conversation with former Reddit product head Dan McComas on the problems of growth as a metric and what [[Twitter]] is doing wrong.

#
[eddie] tantek: Netflix uses ratings for “checkin” of previous shows. You can rate any show even if you didn’t watch it on Netflix
#
[eddie] In fact a long time ago it would actually prompt me to rate shows that I might have watched

#
tantek wow I don't remember seeing that - or maybe it's so obvious I overlooked it?
