#
lahacker i'm writing a [jupyter] notebook to walk through and implement an indie website; i'm pulling out half-baked implementations from my site and formalizing them in a Python library; my Canopy "full-stack client" will be rebuilt using the library
#
lahacker executing the document each time serves to check the code; it's kind of a neat way to develop/test/experiment
#
lahacker aaronpk what part bothers you?

#
aaronpk Alice and Bob are already white-centric names as is, and seeing them with fake white faces takes that to a new level
#
lahacker hah well i'll tell you I was coming up with a last name for Carol and I thought "Chan" and then realized I could have done better
#
lahacker so.. is there some modernized Alice, Bob and Carol?
#
lahacker i can remove the IndieWeb references entirely if you'd like
#
lahacker i'm using thispersondoesnotexist.com

Ruxton Someone limited the wiki width at some point.. the TOC is being smooshed in on the above and many other pages

Ruxton who can fix it?

Zegnat lahacker: names even for imaginary people are hard. I seem to recall a conversation I had with [tantek] about that and wondering if we should just ask if people in the community mind lending their names for examples. Both to make examples more personal and because we may be able to pick some non-default non-anglo names.

#
lahacker zegnat yeah i didn't want to think too much about it so naturally i went down a rabbit hole last night; SWAT is real people and real implementations; i'd like tests/documentation to contain obviously fake names; the character dialog of my notebook will evolve and the names surely will too; i guess i'm mostly concerned with using "IndieWeb" in the twitter handle and thus only the two characters that
#
lahacker will be syndicating to Twitter
#
lahacker and i definitely don't want to use real names when POSSEing to live twitter; https://lahacker.net/IndieWeb#posse-syndication
#
lahacker not sure if you're aware of the context
#
Zegnat Ah, yeah, if you are actually pushing to live Twitter that is obviously a concern.
#
lahacker lol i akwardly search for "ethnic names", click on the first link, see my name; http://www.top100-babynames.net/ethnic-names.html
