I managed to fix a long-standing niggle with my #indieweb practice this afternoon, thanks to some great help from cweiske and others. For the longest time Quill, a micropub client that I can use to publish here, wasn't showing me an option to syndicate directly to Twitter. That meant that I tended reply to tweets and stuff right there in the silo and not bring them back here. Fair enough, especially when a reply without context is like an egg without salt. But we figured it out, in part by that old standby of "switch it off and then switch it back on again". That got things working, and was enough of an impetus to upgrade WithKnown to the latest build. And so far, everything looks good.
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
That reminds me, I should take a look at https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/putting-my-house-in-order-phase-2 and see what's changed.
Good going.
In fact a far better answer to the question "Why do bell peppers come in different colors" is "Because plant breeders made that happen by selecting different varieties".
Can't think why a respected organisation would link to this. It is wrong on so many levels. Final colour at maturity is a heritable trait. Different varieties mature to different colours.

The good news is that #indieweb -- the main channel for which I want both IRC and Slack -- should be OK as it uses the Slack API. Or so I am reliably informed ...
how about a blog post explaining your reasoning for the change? without it, we're all left to guess, and the guesses (say, lack of concern for interoperability…) will make Slack look worse than good reasons explained thoughtfully

They should be able to sell space on the maps, and they should be able to provide quality filters, and collect feedback on reviews and downgrade or upgrade them accordingly. But no damn way should they own the map and the crowdsourced value-adds on the map.

About webmentions
2 min read
Webmentions are the glue that sticks all the bits in all the sites together.
That’s about one of the core ideas about the #IndieWeb, but it doesn’t actually tell you very much if you want to know how the glue works. I’ve kind of absorbed a moderately high-level abstraction over the past little while of playing with webmentions, but a friend asked for more:
Do you know of any diagrams that explain how this stuff works without all the … words that web communities seem to enjoy creating? I keep coming back to this topic every so often, and every time I return things just appear more complicated and broken than before …
I don’t think that last opinion is merited, but then I would say that. And right now I don’t have the time to write up my understanding. I’m pretty sure I saw something clear and to the point a little while back, but I’m blowed if I can find it now. So here are four pieces I have found.
- Implementing Webmentions, which contains a good verbal description of the flow.
- Adactio: Journal—Parsing webmentions, which explains some the technology too.
- So long Disqus, hello Webmention has a go at why webmentions are a good idea and some of the nuts and bolts of implementation.
- Webmentions · Rudiger Meyer is another good verbal description of the how, along with the why and the what.
These may not answer the question fully, but they are a start. And they might inspire me to write my own version, especially if I could have a synchronous discussion about it with my interlocuter.

If those billionaires had simply been content with staying at their 2016 wealth, and had given their one-year gains to the world’s poorest people instead, then extreme poverty would have been eradicated. Hell, they could have eradicated extreme poverty, at least in theory, by giving up just one seventh of their annual gains.

It is always interesting to read of someone else deciding to I like what Michael Singletary has to say, especially this
Most of my online friends and acquaintances will never understand or participate in the IndieWeb, and so I require a bridge between these worlds. On one side I choose what content to post and how it is stored, and it exists mainly on an island that few visit regularly. On the other side is nearly everyone I know, blissfully ignorant of my real home on the web and unable to see any content shared there without manual intervention or working plugins.
What really struck me, though, was the line in his bio: “Blogging since 2002, taking control of my content since 2018.”
I lost some of my pre–2002 posts, not through the actions of any evil silo (were there any, then?), but through my own idiocy in misplacing a crucial backup. And I never really got on board the silo first band-wagon, so in a sense I have always owned the content I care about owning. Most of my friends do consider it kind of weird that I didn’t see the photo they posted only to FB, but they’re only too happy to show them to me one on one. So yes, for now few people visit this island, and that’s OK. I enjoy the ones who do.
I'm using the IndieWeb in an attempt to make it easier for everyone to visit, and that works too.

My friend Jason was recently musing on the possibility of legislating firms to employ a certain number of people, based on revenue, in order to slow the pace of automation and the joblessness it leads to. I get that there's a problem,because no matter how good state provision for joblessness might be, firms contribute only a small part (if any) to the costs of supporting the workers they fire. Jason's idea is essentially an additional tax on firms to offset the costs of joblessness by creating unnecessary jobs. In my view there's a far better way; tax firms more, and spend some of the proceeds on a universal basic income.

@jeremycherfas as I see it, Known has been built for (at least some of) the Indieweb, whereas WordPress needs more coercion to handle some aspects, not having tried WP/Indieweb #sofar

For all the joy of the #indieweb, and the pleasure of civil discourse, I am becoming incredibly confused by aspects of micro.blog. There’s the question of titleless posts, of which is this is one as an experiment, versus status updates. There are posts that appear to be contributions to an interesting conversation but aren’t because they have been cross-posted automatically from elsewhere. And there is the lack of a scroll back, which means that as I follow more people and choose not to check in the middle of my night, stuff vanishes irretrievably from my timeline.
There are also issues with Known that are nothing to do with micro.blog.
None of this is insurmountable. For me, though, it does add friction.

There are the very nice post here you need to connect the process for delete search history bing on your system you can view the all bing for choose the application to provide you batter clear the all history.
As your blog begins, you may need to improve the look of your site and add extra features for your expanding audience. That means it’s necessary to keep a blogging platform that’s extensible, with the opportunity to improve.
@jeremycherfas favorited for future reference. Thanks
