Loqi [indieweb.social/tags/indieweb] such a cool website: https://xn--z7x.xn--6frz82g #indieweb (https://fosstodon.org/@potatomeow/114385614137519088)
#
Loqi [@hamatti] I documented my flow and tooling for how I write and publish blog posts right now.... (https://mastodon.world/@hamatti/114385863638712941)

[artlung] Given that was shared in a context with a finite character count, I doubt ## is a thing with any meaning beyond a semi-automated glitch. Which reminds me I have some rss ingested comment which I stored with html entities that I then emit and the entities are displayed I need to fix.
#
Loqi [@pwloftus] @hyde @shellsharks I really enjoyed reading through this. I found the #indieweb and #slashpages particularly fascinating. *edit* Controversial opinion - /chipotle should probably be /orders 🏃 (https://pwl.farted.net/@pwloftus/114388072392738958)
#
Loqi [@artlung] If #IndieWeb things interest you, there's a Zoom meeting in a few hours—"Homebrew Website Club Europe/London." We share our websites: writing, creations, tools, troubles, tips, POSSE and PESOS. A friendly venue to help you scratch a website itch.... (https://xoxo.zone/@artlung/114388110504802313)
#
[tantek] lol
#
[tantek] I'd expect /orders to be a photo blog of receipts or perhaps those little numbers you take to your table when you order at a cafe
#
[tantek] what is a slashpage
#
Loqi page is short for web page on the IndieWeb, and is usually primarily known by its name and kept updated in place in contrast to posts which are primarily datetime-based; a page that is browser-editable with viewable revisions is a wiki-page https://indieweb.org/slashpage
#
[artlung] People think what they think. :) That’s a feature, not a bug.
#
[artlung] Also promoted today’s HWC in Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/artlung.com/post/3lnikuebz3c2n
#
[tantek] nice
#
Loqi [@khurtwilliams] Did the Self-Verification via DNS thing on Bluesky months ago—@islandinthenet.com. Before the new blue checks. Before the Trusted Verifiers.... (https://indieweb.social/@khurtwilliams/114388212757943104)
#
[tantek] what is Starbucks
#
Loqi Starbucks is a popular coffee chain and also a named page (typically all lowercase /starbucks) on a few IndieWeb sites describing their preferred drink order(s) from the chain, and sometimes other opinions or aspects of their experiences there https://indieweb.org/Starbucks
#
[tantek] ^ there you go [artlung]
#
aaronpk wat
#
[artlung] lol. it might be a big swing.
#
[artlung] I put the odds that at some point The Burning Eye of Starbucks points my way at 1 in 10.
#
[artlung] I know there's US caselaw for using trademarks in hidden meta tags. How about in urls?
#
[artlung] caselaw as in "harm may befall me"
#
[tantek] Wikipedia seems to be ok
#
[artlung] the caselaw is related to competitors, to be sure. not customers.
#
[tantek] look, if people want to be silly and funny in harmless (certainly rated G) and joyful ways with their personal websites, that's up to them. we're just documenting emergent phenomena
#
[artlung] I believe it was sites using "playboy" in the meta keywords? sites which were not, in fact, playboy
#
[artlung] [tantek]++ to be sure. I added my page thinking about all of that. I am old and joyfully paranoid.
#
Loqi [tantek] has 4 karma in this channel over the last year (163 in all channels)
#
[tantek] thanks artlung. I like to think of it from the perspective of someone new coming to the site, maybe randomly landing on a wiki page. does the page make them laugh or feel joy?
#
[artlung] If I had beef or concern with either page I would absolutely edit.
#
[artlung] Or raise a flag
#
[tantek] and yeah, two real world examples seems like a sufficient bar for now, we'll see if it gets out of hand or gamed in some unproductive (or gross) way
#
[artlung] This Wiki of Ours is a garden.
#
[tantek] ok: planting flowers and funny looking plants. not ok: taking a dump
#
Loqi [@artlung] @pwloftus @hyde @shellsharks You are not alone, and that's not controversial! https://indieweb.org/Chipotle#Brainstorming #IndieWeb #MemeticPower (https://xoxo.zone/@artlung/114388292817638354)
#
[artlung] There is a widely amplified quote from DH Lawrence which lamentably I can't find on Wikiquote: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/D._H._Lawrence _"The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in_
#
[artlung] _earth and manure." ..._ almost too good to be a real quote.
#
[tantek] hah indeed.

Loqi [@blog] Das kranke Auge und die Suchmaschinen Das ist zugegebenermaßen ein etwas seltsamer Titel für einen Blogbeitrag, aber ich werde gleich erklären, worum es geht. https://logsequenz.de/das-kranke-auge-und-die-suchmaschinen/ #bloggen #persönliches #suchmaschinen #Indieweb (https://fedispace.de/@blog/114388797667825439)

Loqi It was definitely time to re-do my #IndieWeb site, because I didn't have a proper front page. It was just a collection of projects. So I moved those out to their own page, and created a landing page with some posts, my timeline and the latest photos. #IndieWeb (https://web.brid.gy/r/https://gerben.dev/notes/8326cc4a83a7185e809d2b6f3a48e833)

Loqi [@WeirdWriter] Yay! People are sharing this! I know this because now I’m seeing people sharing in forums and I’m reading via RSS.
