# 09:05 capjamesg I was just looking through the h-card spec and wondered why there is no u-age property. # 09:06 capjamesg I know there is a dt-bday property for birthdate and that could be used (more accurately) to represent age. # 09:06 capjamesg But, I know that a lot of people put age on social profiles directly in bios. I was thinking of doing the same on my site. # 09:07 capjamesg What if someone wants to convey their age but does not want to disclose their birthday? # 09:07 capjamesg (Probably an edge case -- just wanted to start a discussion.) # 09:15 sknebel in principle you could specify a "birth date" that only has a year component, but I'm not sure anything does anything useful with that # 09:16 capjamesg I suppose so. That makes sense. The trouble with that is that I could be born at any time in a year so the information isn't really useful. # 09:16 capjamesg Say I was born in 2000. I could be 20 or 21 right now. Depending on when I was born. # 09:26 sknebel but if you do a precise age I just need to scrape your site for a year to see hwne it changes :P # 09:41 capjamesg Let me switch topics a bit and ask about pronouns. I've seen a few examples on the wiki but I'm wondering if there's some kind of "best practice" # 09:41 capjamesg u-pronoun or something simple like that would probably be best for me. # 10:10 sknebel not really yet as far as I know, but I haven't really kept up. there was some talk a few weeks back, might be worth searching the logs for [KevinMarks] joined the channel
# 10:50 [KevinMarks] you can post a birthdate and calculate an age dynamically. Also 1966-09 is a valid date if you want to give year and month capjamesg, hendursaga, [fluffy] and [jacky] joined the channel
# 15:43 [jacky] I marked mine up at https://jacky.wtf/about so if a client did get my h-card, it could use mine properly like "He reposted a link" versus just "Jacky reposted a link" # 16:54 capjamesg jacky Thanks! I was looking at the microformats wiki and saw a similar example to the one you have. [tantek] joined the channel
# 17:07 [tantek] "What if I am lazy about updating it" is also a good reason why a "age" property would be a bad idea, it is very likely to go out of date (possibly for years) and become incorrect information capjamesg joined the channel
