Someone else finding wisdom in the Marie Kondo thing. I'm not the world's tidiest person, and I am a bit of a hoarder, but I live with someone who is both less tidy and more of a hoarder than me. That frustrates me, especially over shared spaces, which almost all of them are. Chris highlighted one passage which suggests that blaming someone else for their untidiness is really about one's own untidiness. I really don't see, though, how to impose tidyiness on another. I can put stuff back in the "right" place over and over again, doesn't seem to change anything.
Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he's "just going to publish her on my blog". I guess that means he's not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there's no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the #indieweb, and if you don't want to, you shouldn't. But I hope he'll still accept webmentions.
Pretty impressive, although why anyone would have any tabs open while they are (presumably) asleep is a mystery to me. But then, I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy.
NYT vs Beppe Grillo: Is the clown an anti-vaxxer? Seems unlikely the NYT would get this wrong.
I've followed Tim Bray via RSS for what seems like forever. And I'm glad he's committed to keep going. I wonder, though, whether he'll see this comment of mine. If not, he needs to embrace at least a part of #indieweb just a little more.
From the annals of bokeh comes this: "As a native speaker of Japanese, I have to point out that ōtofōkasu (オートフォーカス) means "autofocus", as in an AF camera. The romanization for "out-of-focus" would be autofōkasu (アウトフォーカス)."
Too perfect.
So interesting to read what @chrisaldrich has to say about the Seeing White podcast series. If somebody "born in South Carolina and then living in Georgia" can feel woefully ignorant, as I do, it reinforces what a great job John Biewen and his team are doing.
Just listened to @colinwalkers latest microcast. I'm not feeling the same excitement, perhaps because I wasn't in on the birth of Twitter, but I am enjoying watching various social spaces evolve and I agree that each documenting our steps adds up to something bigger.
@danielstucke The camera issue has been written about, and a fix demonstrated, but not yet accepted into the Known master. https://
@frenchtart No, those are pure spam. The NYT, no less.
"Well let’s start with a retail fact that 2016 was the first year that Americans spent more at restaurants and bars then at grocery stores. Where do you suppose this is taking us?" In the comments of an interesting piece by Grant McCracken. And all I can think is: really?
The global trade resource is almost as fascinating as the changing global diets website, with one huge proviso. The arrows go, roughly, from the centre of the exporting country to the centre of the importing country. That is, it completely ignores the reality of containerisation, which has had such a massive impact on food systems and much else besides. There's a new podcast series about it, called Containers, by Alexis Madrigal.
"The federated nature of Mastodon, GnuSocial, the blogosphere and indeed the multiply-linked web is now seen as confusing by those used to Twitter’s silo."
And also by those not used to Twitter's silo.
I think I'll wait until @cleverdevil's memory thing tweaks are in the Known core before adopting -- but I like the idea.
@LukasRosenstock Absolutely. Make it easy to host an indieweb capable domain and business can only grow.
Achievement unlocked (thanks to huge help from the #indieweb community) -- now receiving webmentions at Eat This Podcast. But lots still to be done.
Working my way through Chris Aldrich's guide to bringing Twitter @mentions home, and while the WP site is not responding, this #WithKnown site is. But, in the absence of a /mentions page, where on Earth are those backlinks going? And can I display them?
@MarkedApp It's not really a writing app though, is it? I love it for proofing.
@kevinmarks Interesting piece, although @Withknown didn't like @velartrill's URL
More great advocacy for the #indieweb from @chrisaldrich.
One of the things I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the different ways in which people use different silos. Some, obviously, are different. Like super short-form Twitter. But for the others? Is it just that they want to be where all their contacts are, or is there more to it than that? Heck, I can scarcely decide whether to put things on 10C or pNut or both, so I often don't bother.
Test reply to a post of my own.
On the mothership, could @timharford be the Undercover #Indieweb ber? https://
As I don't feed my sourdough daily, or take it for walks, or keep kosher much of what Rob Eshman says he learned about his sourdough contemplating Passover does not apply. But it makes for an interesting read nevertheless.
Some people have good examples of flat file with dynamic backlinks and stuff. I've seen versions with Jekyll and others mentioned.
Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I've kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don't want to shut it down until #WithKnown makes it possible to export data from that version and import it to the master. Not that there's anything all that valuable there, but still ...
No problem. You did see the main article that the leader was commenting on? http://
I got excited when I saw Chris Aldrich's link to an article "In praise of quinoa" in The Atlantic. Synchronicity and all that. Turns out, it isn't in The Atlantic, but just the old Economist leader on the subject.
Heigh ho.
@mfbellemare Happy to change that. Thanks and kudos to Luc Christiaensen.
[Siri and flatulence]http://
Really interested in being able to use Foursquare to log where I am and have the additional detail show up on my Known site.
@JaysonLusk The real problem is with that word "guarantee". Nothing, not even eating well, can guarantee good health.
@LonelyBob I'll take a look at this new breaker.audio app, but so far can't quite see the point.
"It’s a world wide web out there. There’s plenty of room for everyone. And I, for one, love reading the words of others."
Can't disagree with that -- and I love reading the words of Jeremy Keith.
@AubreyNPRFood There's still life and liberty ... No, wait.
@nicolakidsbooks that accounts for the very relaxed line. I hope.
Right, and I'm using a multi-CMS approach in a similar, though not as complex manner. @raretrack
@allysseriordan Wonderful reminder of my own walk along Offa's Dyke, far too long ago.
Nifty (though I haven't tried it yet). Useful tool for setting SoundCloud audio free if ever the huffduffer snarfer is not working.
Do you know anything as #indieweb capable as @withknown out of the box @raretrack ?
Jonathan LaCour (aka @cleverdevil) has done a fine job of articulating what it might take to make the web more interesting again. That it contributes to my feeling of being hopelessly underpowered might conceivably add to my motivation.
Another reason we need to own our data -- because Manton's fourth tip links to a post on app.net that is now, of course, dead and buried ... unless it lives elsewhere. #indieweb
@KitchenBee Surely brains aren't all that clean. Or are they?
In the end, I don't think it is worth the extra faff. It is easy enough to mark up by hand for recipes. There really are only a couple of extra things to watch out for and I have got snippets for the more complex ones now. Need to check again, but I think it is all working.
@MatthewJDalby And if you're wondering how they boiled them, 20k years before ceramics -- http://
My contribution to #trypod is @criminalshow and if the whole podcast thing is new to you, they have a handy dandy guide to how to listen http://
I'm totally in shock of the nicest kind after reading what @chrisaldrich had to say about Eat This Podcast.
@chrisaldrich Funny you just listened to that. More on "good" industrial food here http://
@scottishbktrust @nicolakidsbooks Bet that tiger's name was Yorrick.
Google’s algorithm is lying to you about onions -- not that you'ld ever trust Google to clarify a recipe https://
