↩️ Google Analytics is illegal too, just Austria and France were faster. It is just the GDPR becoming reality in the national european laws, yay. When hosting companies realise that indieweb/fediverse-on-click install is awesome, big win for consumers. Happy self-hosting everyone.

That's what I was thinking.

RT @jonatasbaldin@indieweb.social aral I always think about everyone using tools made by big corps in their tiny little projects just because https://indieweb.social/@jonatasbaldin/107723478741993075

I'm sure it doesn't matter, but the "Free trial ending soon" countdown in Slack feels ominous
#
sknebel
did someone enable a trial of a paid plan for some reason?
#
Murray[d]
quite a few Slack communities I'm in have had those countdowns for the last few days. Don't think any of them were explicitly "enabled", but I might be wrong

↩️ Now they're going after Substack and it's only a question of time before Telegram is taken out too. We all need to start taking #indieweb seriously and use decentralized tech like good ol' RSS.

slack enables the trial randomly

I noticed it the other day, I suddenly had a pricate message history again on the IndieWeb Slack. Something they hide for free communities
#
sknebel
weird, good to know
#
[tantek]
oh wow that's what changed (private message history) interesting. I suppose a good time to export that (if you care about such things)
#
[tantek]
and by export I mean select-drag, copy, paste into a local text file on your computer
#
[tantek]
(I don't know of a "feature" to actually "export" Slack channel/DM history)

@TerribleMia
Ever since @css/@robinrendle wrote about "Weird Browsers" I've been trying to imagine a browser that helps non-technical folks: - create a basic personal site, not locked to a platform? - wire up indieweb stuff like webmentions/rss? - follow friends? etc https://css-tricks.com/newsletter/273-weird-browsers/

thanks! heh aaronpk you've trained me to search for IndieAuth instead of Web Sign-in 😛

[tantek]
good to mention both terms in that context however, since anyone doing mediawiki customization is a dev or some sort

hmm I wonder if it's worth creating a broader description for /aggregator since not all aggregators are feed readers (e.g. IndieNews is an aggregator)
#
sknebel
I feel like its a different thing, yes. (personally, I dont think feed reader at all when I see aggregator)

capjamesg[d], could you review this? (and see if it would have helped when you were setting up how to create pages on the breakfastandcoffee site) https://indieweb.org/URL_design#URL_in_a_URL
#
[tantek]
lol /aggregator and /aggregators redirect to two different pages
#
gRegor
We should collect those redirects in one place :)
#
Loqi
I agree
#
[tantek]
to-do << Create a new page for [[aggregator]] that is a much broader description than [[reader]] or [[feed reader]] and includes things like [[IndieNews]] and other uses for the word, and redirect [[aggregators]], [[aggregate]], and [[aggregation]] to [[aggregator]]
#
Loqi
ok, I added "Create a new page for [[aggregator]] that is a much broader description than [[reader]] or [[feed reader]] and includes things like [[IndieNews]] and other uses for the word, and redirect [[aggregators]], [[aggregate]], and [[aggregation]] to [[aggregator]]" to the "See Also" section of /to-do https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=79446&oldid=79062
#
[tantek]
now that I've typed it so many times I can't look at / type aggregator without seeing/thinking "aggre-gator" "aggro-gator" = "aggressive alligator" 🐊
