@webby2001 Of course, it could easily evaporate, if something happened to Medium. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a copy on a site you actually control?
@LisaLodwick Exciting indeed. Frustrating that it remains behind a hefty paywall, especially as the research it reports was probably funded by public money. As bad as more than half the cemetery sites being unpublished.
@MGraybosch Fine sentiments, and for a one-page site with a single message, not sharing metadata is an OK choice. But a little markup with microformats on a site helps others to find and enjoy the #IndieWeb in their own way.
@EIT One newsletter reader suggested it was because cooking in the US is much more aspirational than in the UK. So UK cooks want to get on with it, I think, while US cooks want to think they could get on with it.
I hope you enjoyed it. Just to let you know, I've just finished brewing another episode on coffee, to be published noon GMT tomorrow.
.@jpnudell (Apparently long threads can get lost so I was asked to break them up, hence the choppiness)
A better solution might be to also write on your own website, or even at Humanties Commons. Somewhere we can avoid the choppiness and understand you better.
You're right! Apologies for that. Apparently those icons need JS.
Now to work out why your reply didn't show up on my site.
@TavolaMed At last. Thanks for saying it loud and clear: farro is spelt and einkorn and emmer, and the point is that they are traditionally grown as a mixture, all three in the same fields. So yes, farro is all three, but on their own none of them is farro.
@jojolemon I hope you win too. And while I could tell you your exact odds of winning, that would be commercially valuable information. Not.
@noffle I know absolutely nothing about server admin but I am very happy using bits of indieweb. There is also micro.blog which is even more accessible than WithKnown.
I have not exactly solved the problem, but I can say that posting a bookmark from Omnibear, using the Firefox extension, does work. That is, the description is received and used by Known.
@AgroBioDiverse So true. Feeds make it so much easier for people to keep up with websites of interest. Case in point: one of my favourite backgarden plant breeders sprang back to life after a gap of 8 years, and I was immediately informed. https://
@khurtwilliams In the interests of science? I'll accept your report.
@usfoodpolicy I have a different question:
Who could eat a bacon ice-cream sandwich? I know I couldn't.
Nah. Definite case of pebcac; it was the receiver, not the sender, that was at fault. https://
Somewhere along the line, I seem to have lost a rather crucial line from the <HEAD>. Now, I hope it has returned.
If it has, please accept my apologies for spamming micro.blog.
So have I. And this time I am going to resist the temptation to ping the site to which I am replying.
I've been doing this for more than a month, and it works just fine.
@mapkyca Amen to that, and thanks so much for your invaluable help with all things WithKnown.
I forgot to mention that a good amount of fresh mint is an excellent addition. I hope you enjoy it.
I'm a late adopter on IndieWeb readers, I freely confess. Maybe I should make the effort now. Well, not now, because I'll be out of circulation for a bit, but soon.
@heyheymaimai It is strange how one just feels that a gap should be a nudge longer or a nudge shorter, but one does. More to the point, do you have to look away from the screen to know? I do.
@thesugarchef How strange that the tweet to which this thread is a reply has vanished. How sad too that the wisdom in the thread does not exist on, say, https://
@_MatthewDillon This latest was prompted by the recent piece on gluten free from Bob Quinn ... and there's a certain irony in trademarking your grain name while not being content to simply copyright what you write rather than hand it over.
When Google Translate lets you down (because you can't be arsed to read what it offers).
It seems highly unlikely that the Catalogo de variedades de papa nativa de Chugay, La Libertad made "a great contribution to the National Register of Pope Native to Peru".
Sebastiaan has made fantastic progress towards indiewebified private posts. And it makes me feel better to read what he says about code that works, given how awful my own is.
@sandroantonello @racheleats Alas, the Guardian article doesn't say how Andrea gets fresh flour. Is he milling his own? Or does he have a special supplier? I'm keen to try milling my own but so far not been able to source wheat berries reliably here.
Don't do this! Just don't. Autoplay ought to get you flayed alive.
@jkphl Likewise, and although I won't be in Düsseldorf next weekend I will be in Utrecht the weekend after. May is @indiewebcamp month.
@rdwrt Not really, because it is an unconference. The sessions on the first day are offered by the people who are there and adjusted to suit people, and the second day is a hack day devoted to IndieWeb projects. Some more details at https://
@sugartraffic So true. Also gives me an opportunity to plug my post, compiled with help from people like you who are so much more experienced in these things than I am. https://
@lindanewbery The single best reason to eat meat is that as part of a balanced agricultural system animals turn things we can't eat, like grass, into things we can eat. No need for intensive rearing at all, and we get to eat what they are now being fed.
@GastroHistory Whatever next? A law to stop cultured animal cells from being called meat?
No, wait ...
@kevinmarks Very much this.
@khaosanlao Taxation is unlikely to be part of the mix #AMRhub will offer, but there's a good case to be made elsewhere. Listen here: https://
@miiiike_sm Another great breeding story to add to my collection; thanks. Not unlike the Red Fife story.
@jamesksowerby Indeed, Elizabeth David did not think much of the Chorleywood Bread Process from the start. And I think she was the first person I read who suggesting using much less yeast and much more time to get good flavour.
@help I truly don’t understand how updates on micro.blog work. I deleted something on this site, which feeds to MB, but the post is still there.
@ChrisAldrich Indeed, except that, formally, 1, 3 and 5 are identical.
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.
