kindle is Kindle
#
jamietanna[m]
🤔 How do you do a redirect again?

jamietanna[m]: the second, but Loqi needs to be waiting for a definition. so not for just case-changes (not sure why that'd be needed too?)

Is there an indieweb need to define Kindle?

What is kindle?
#
Loqi
Kindle is Amazon's book silo service and hardware e-reader devices for viewing those books https://indieweb.org/Kindle
#
Zegnat
There is a section on data export, so I guess that is nice to have, jeremycherfas :)

What is nook?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "nook" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "nook is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jeremycherfas
Fair enough.

I had a nook for a while. I totally forgot that I owned it.
#
jeremycherfas
Why did you abandon it?
#
[James_Gallaghe]
I bought it because I thought having an e-reader would encourage me to read more. It turns out I prefer physical books.
#
jeremycherfas
So do I, but space is also a consideration.
#
[James_Gallaghe]
I donated all of the paper books I have read or do not intend on reading to the local charity store earlier this year. That freed up a lot of space. Though, now I do not have a very impressive bookshelf.
#
jeremycherfas
Being in Italy, there are almost no charity stores and only two second-hand bookshops that accept English books. I've put some out as Book Crossing items, but I can't bring myself to just leave them out for passers-by.

Interesting how Loqi chose to include the two different links I just fed it for the Kindle in the main channel. Both blog posts, one just added a link with the title, while the other added the entire content... Is it parsing and excerpting for different post types now?
#
aaronpk
yeah if it finds mf2 it will expand the post
#
aaronpk
it's supposed to only expand the text of notes, and use the article name if it's an article

[James_Gallaghe] my wife and I are about to go through an exercise to get rid of a lot of books. I'm dreading it.

[Emma_Humphries] It took me a while to muster up the courage to donate my books. I feel good about it because I know that someone will get some use out of books that were just lying on a shelf in my house.

↩ī¸ Sorta! Webmentions allows submission of reply URLs (or can automatically pick them up from socials). It is an IndieWeb standard. Lots of integrations out there already for various site generators/CMS. https://indieweb.org/Webmention

Who's hosting the HWC West tonight? GWG, [tantek] (probably not as vacationing), gRegorLove, others? I mostly mention it as a reminder that I'm obligated to a birthday celebration and can't make it.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: Whose?
#
GWG
I will do it if no one else does
#
[chrisaldrich]
I can try to pop in, but it looks highly unlikely....
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: Wish her a happy birthday from... I forget her nickname for me
#
[chrisaldrich]
It varies, but usually involves some form of using IndieWeb as a "jealous slur". 😉
