@kevinmarks “Technically, weblogs are trivial – a reasonable programmer can assemble their own weblog content management system in a couple of hours.” - @tomcoates http://plasticbag.org/archives/2003/09/weblogs_and_the_mass_amateurisation_of_nearly_everything/ #indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/1385027589807431682)

@kevinmarks “Running and writing a weblog is a social activity – it’s communicative – and you respond to what other people write when you write. It’s no fun at all if you’re writing into a vacuum.” - @tomcoates http://plasticbag.org/archives/2005/04/the_horseless_carriage/ #indieweb (contrast with Substack) (twitter.com/_/status/1385028747775156226)

@redcrew "Perhaps the most promising of all these initiatives are Solid and Inrupt, which were launched in 2018 by the creator of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee." https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2021/04/what-is-the-independent-web-and-does-it-matter-in-2021/ #IndieWeb (twitter.com/_/status/1385208027272339459)

[KevinMarks] I'm the sense of "promising more than they deliver?"
#
aaronpk huh i hadn’t seen this post before... https://battellemedia.com/archives/2010/10/identity_and_the_independent_web_
#
aaronpk this post is credited as the first use of the term “independent web”
#
[KevinMarks] seems implausible to me https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=independent+web&year_start=1988&year_en[…]=26&smoothing=3&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cindependent%20web%3B%2Cc0
#
sknebel we really need to do something about links in the bridge...
#
aaronpk guy why does slack keep breskvine things
#
aaronpk wow

aaronpk autocorrect was set on Hrvatski oops

@ameyawarde Do people still use @microformats? There's a blog post from last year but the wiki is full of broken links, and also the hcard generator includes AIM name :D. (Just poking around the #IndieWeb /wiki for the first time as I'm working on my digital garden..) (twitter.com/_/status/1385372706636394496)
#
aaronpk i really don't understand why people think things from a year ago are old
#
GWG aaronpk: Pandemic?
#
aaronpk regardless
#
jacky blames capitalism and the need for something 'fresh' every moment
#
[chrisaldrich] Maybe we just give it a new flashy name so it _feels_ new? The way that digital garden makes the idea of a commonplace book not seem centuries old from a time when handwriting on paper in a codex was the "new" thing? Everything old is new again, right? 🙂
#
aaronpk nanoformats 💯
#
[chrisaldrich] nanoformats++
#
Loqi nanoformats has 1 karma over the last year
#
aaronpk wait what http://microformats.org/wiki/microblogging-nanoformats
#
aaronpk also http://microformats.org/wiki/picoformats
#
[chrisaldrich] femptoformats it is then!
#
[chrisaldrich] Sidenote: I build microinjectors for biology research and you wouldn't believe the number of Ph.D. holding Nobel prize winners I've dealt with who want picoinjectors when the scale of their work doesn't warrant it, but the name seems sexier. Usually I just quote them a 100x price and they quickly come to their senses.
#
aaronpk 😂
#
jacky this nanoformats page reads like markdown but for mf2+html
#
[chrisaldrich] architecture astronomy in the space somehow makes them forget the basics of physics 101.

sknebel lol
