Back, C and F were okay but the G note its tough on the little 7 year old hands. #edtechchat

The more time I read and check things, the more I realize that protocols are only half of the problem. Heh, we need people working on really solid content creation tools that can match or rival what we see out there. It’s easy to publish text or an image. Video gets a bit tricky and even more dynamic content like polling, RSVPs or protected content gets more difficult.

But those are just touching the surface. I’m starting to see why the idea of being able to push a “component” of information is very attractive - by design, it can provide the necessary means for rendering things if it’s not yet supported and perhaps give users a chance to choose if they’d want to see it anyway. This is part of my hope as I begin toying with the mobile client I have in mind to be a companion to Lwa. By default, none of the post types outside of a note would be supported. It’d have to ask a Microsub server for information / tools / data on how to render it. This adds complexity to the server but it makes clients very thin.

I was recently reminded of comments I made in support of a transphobic open source developer years ago. That really sucks. But…it's also encouraging. If over time I can learn to become less of an idiot and start valuing the lived experiences of LGBTQ+, other people can too. 🏳️‍🌈

So it’s both Lighthouse not sending the callback when it’s successful and Koype not waiting until the Webmention callback is called to then update the syndication result. Both are fine and easy to fix.

They know and don’t care at this point. As long as they get “theirs”. https://twitter.com/MelaninMvskoke/status/1277433090105683969

Interesting. It doesn’t look like Lighthouse is actually sending out Webmentions. Ugh.

Imagine a world where public sector tooling was written in the open and features were added on the basis of what citizens and local officials agreed on certain features versus rouge agencies like Deloitte.

I’ll love to be on it. With actionable feedback and critique from someone who fits this bill.

Disordered thinking

An openly gay Black man in 1940-50s Atlanta Wright grew up singing Gospel in church. He became a main stay in the Atlanta, GA Blues scene.

The flambouyant performer was known as the "Prince of Blues" and gave Little Richard style lessons.

His first record, in 1949, reached #3 on the Billboard R&B category (called Race Music at the time)
