I knew I'd forget some. So, there's @fallingtreeprod @kitchenbee @_captainscience @bartona104 @jkphi and, to round things off, @indieweb and all who sail in her.
@AgroBioDiverse Such a fine idea, and so hard to make a selection, because doing so automatically excludes some. But, nothing ventured ... @LB_Naylor @RachelLaudan @seyloubakery @pazzobooks @nicolakidsbooks @rosenblawg @tppodcast_ @bagolufsen for Sound Matters @bbcinourtime
Looking closely, the second closing quote looks smart rather than straight. Could that be the problem?
FWIW, I haven’t used the wysiwyg editor in WP since about 2006.
@rachellaudan Tone of voice failure. I was aping the view that seems to be prevalent among natural history filmmakers that to show humanity would be to despoil the natural.
@atthesauce The most important thing is to make the actual audio file available from the page itself. SoundCloud hides it away. I see your site is built on WordPress; there are a couple of plugins that will give you a player for the audio. DM me for more.
I had completely forgotten how we used to agree on Flickr tags for an event and then work together to create a shared record. Kevin is right that it ought not to be beyond the technologists to find a way to solve that. Maybe it will take off again too.
@SarahTaber_bww Yet another fascinating thread that really ought to have a life elsewhere, beyond the confines of Twitter. Luckily @thread_readerapp can help, a bit. https://
My question: was the tasters' bland preference unimodal?
@usfoodpolicy Still waiting for answers, although the silence speaks volumes. @threadreaderapp unroll please
@nxD4n I'm not absolutely sure, but if you disable the Public Comments plugin, I think that still allows webmentions through.
A good rule of thumb to decide between note with picture(s) and picture would be the ratio of words to pictures. If you allowed, say, 100 words per image you allow for a decent sized caption. I suppose if a post is literally just a picture of a button with an arrow that says “click here” you might get into trouble, but otherwise that would work.
@journeymanhisto Crucial to the success of roller milling was the purifier, perfected, in Minneapolis, by a Frenchman brought there from Quebec.
@journeymanhisto I find it incomprehensible why anyone would write 13 separate little tweets instead of a blog post. Luckily, @threadapp captured the story at https://
Also a central topic in my podcast series Our Daily Bread, especially episode 13.
I'm really glad you're enjoying the podcasts. I would also like to know more about your brother-in-law's starter and how you have continued to use it. Fancy an actual conversation?
Here's a quick mention to welcome you -- and help you to make sure you have things working OK.
Very interesting read; I too didn't realise quite how effectively Google sucked all the fun out of the web, even though I was there at the time. Pure serendipity to read your comment about Pinboard and reread this talk from Maclej on the same day. http://
Yikes! What possible reason can there be for this?
It was really good while it lasted; thanks Ryan.
I like that Chris would prefer a pig without tags, but my suspicion is that by the time the tag becomes important for tracking, the pig is well past caring.
@nbariola Also available -- an interview with the author! https://
@dixongexpat Apologies for delay. I see you have moved to WP, about which others know far mor than I. If you're still keen on Grav, I may be able to help.
I have a feeling I saw this same post on a Grav-powered site, and would have responded from my own Grav site to the effect that it is not easy to get indieweb going with Grav, unless you are more adept than I am, but it is possible. Now, here you are on WordPress. So, not sure what is going on. But hey, each to their own.
And I will PESOS this comment back to my own site just to confuse matters further.
A more specific example of the useful idea, that you ought to understand the rules before you start to break them deliberately. Not that you shouldn't break them, but you should know why they are there and whether they are, in fact, helpful.
@PhoneBoy As you cross posted here, I feel duty bound to link to my original reply to you. https://
@vincentlistens I may be missing something subtle here, but if you have a photo as part of your h-card, that works pretty well in an #indieweb context. Depending on the receiver, it can show up in likes, reposts, webmentions etc.
Jason’s Cranberry Bread sounds delicious. I don’t do that sort of thing often myself. Only when I have two or three nice ripe bananas, which happens very infrequently.
Hey, Salad Lovers: It's OK To Eat Romaine Lettuce Again https://
You make a lot of good and interesting points, W. Ian O'Byrne, which I have bookmarked for a deeper read. For now, all I want to say is that, on the grounds that novels can be truer than facts, seems to me people would be better off reading Dave Eggers' The Circle than trying prognosticate based on Google's speculative entrails.
@Phoneboy I see you had to delete spam Webmentions. It would be great if you could document some of the details on the #indieweb wiki. Or at more length on one of your sites. There have been concerns about the spamming potential but few (none?) seen in the wild, so that would be really valuable.
You're doing it right, @frenchtart The "horror" of flies on the meat is more than offset by the fact that it'll be cooked and delicious in about an hour. The invisible horror of a power outage at the supermarket doesn't bear thinking about.
@AgroBioDiverse You can have your 15 minutes ...
@marieprice2 Fun and all, but to whom do I complain about question 6? The idea that Svalbard is more famous than VIR is preposterous.
And hello to you too.
Thanks for the wayback link Kevin. I failed to find it first time around. There are so many interesting points in that post and in the comments, and also a faint whiff of déja vu. The sidebar shows exactly what went wrong with pingbacks and trackbacks, and I suspect there is still no way to bridge the gap between the "commenting is broken" and the "technology will fix commenting" crowds.
In the end, we both know, it depends absolutely on the people involved. Maintaining a website that you regard as your own does require maintenance. Like a garden, you may choose to let a few weeds flourish, for the wildlife, and you may also seek to encourage volunteers, for the aesthetics. A garden without wildlife is dull, a garden without aesthetics is pointless.
> the default assumption that everyone should read every comment on a forum is an idea that fails at scale too, as one troll or disruptive person can spoil everyone's reading - the Tragedy of the Comments.
A shame that the link to Tragedy of the Comments is dead, it sounded interesting and prescient.
@jessfanzo You've very welcome. And there's more to come.
@judell Isn't it an eggcorn? https://
That study of how people from rice- and wheat-growing areas of China differ in social situations is interesting, and part of a long history of trying to make use of the collectivism needed to grow rice well to explain other things. I'm not totally convinced.
Thanks @podknife for adding me to your lists. Looking forward to getting to know new listeners.
@FranciscoEGZ85 @GuinnessIreland What I had not realised is quite how fast and loose RA Fisher played with Gosset's ideas. Gosset didn't care much about p<0.05 as a number, only about what it might mean in a wider context.
Hey @leckerpodcast - You're not so bad yourself!
Heh. Good advice. I do in fact use Ryan’s service. One of my links in that piece points to it in case anyone else is curious.
I noticed that my Like of this recent post by Chris Aldrich features a photo not from Chris's site, but from the site of the person he is talking about. That's pretty magical.
# indieweb
@jgmac1106 Now you force me to be that person who points out that piranha are freshwater fish. I was willing to ignore it before.
Any chance you can explain why you think the CDATA wrapper is the issue? My Known feed also wraps description in CDATA and that may be what is causing micro.blog to have trouble with it.
@dullhunk Very good question. Who is milling their own wheat and baking 100% wholewheat in the UK? I know https://
The one question I really wanted @npr to ask about Chinese tariffs on American nuts: will it make those nuts cheaper for Americans?
@mdesoucey Amen! Where do we sign up?
@PhilVincent Just discovered #10DoT and went looking for your chart. Page not found. Which, to me, suggests the need for an 11th day, devoted to the #indieweb and what it means to own your content.
@SmallholderIRL Very honoured to be mentioned in such company. Thank you.
@wordsby_bob Sounds interesting; where was the talk and will it be shared?
