to know.
Divide and
separate
prediction
from
dereliction
when driven.
Truth.Morals.Mission
A cleave
to evil
propositions stolen,
silent
suspicions.
Bent rays on
display when
prisms
of certainty
cast shadows
of hidden duality.

Are you comparing your energy levels during eternal Caturday?
New community members, proliferating Fediverse plurality, and tasting in production. It’s your < 10min update on the #IndieWeb community!
This Week in the IndieWeb audio edition for January 21st - 27th, 2023. https://martymcgui.re/2023/01/28/this-week-in-the-indieweb-audio-edition--january-21st---27th-2023/
A quick article on intellectual risk taking in the early childhood #literacies classroom
bit.ly/3RaEdoF
What do you look for when observing literacy lessons? #engchat #satchat #edchat
When humanity reverses
marble cities
face gargled governance
of Putrid cousins
and from East
pockets of holes, scars
of shells, falling hell
leave the artists'
brush dry
tones and levels
drones and devils
descend from darkened
skies
For too long

Another interesting contrast^1 in the #IndieWeb community is that most of us have both:
* a domain name^2 — for posting our content, replies, likes etc.
* a chat-name^3 — for chatting in our discussion channels^4
Ideally, we would have a discussion system that “just” used our domain names as identities (IndieAuth^5 for Web sign-in^6) to chat with each other, but no such system exists (yet).
No we’re not going to all setup XMPP servers on our domains and attempt to hook them all up. Nearly no one wants to pay that admintax^7. Nor would XMPP let us “just” use our domain names. Like email, XMPP requires a separate “username”. Sure we could fake it like Bridgy Fed does for us with 'domain @ domain', but why would we work harder for a worse UX?
So instead of making things more complex than domains, we took the opposite approach, and based our chat on IRC, and our chat-names on plain nicknames.
Using a chat system like IRC lowered the barrier to participation in the IndieWeb community, so you could for example, ask about how to pick a domain name^2 instead of being stuck in an actual catch-22^1 of needing a domain name just to ask about a domain name.
By putting our chat archives on the web^8, we were able to reduce our chat system requirements, provide a simple minimal web app for brief chats, and bridge our IRC channels with multiple other chat systems, like Slack, Matrix, and even Discord^9. This has the significant advantage of much greater chat client choice for community members.
However, we did realize that our statements in the chat archives^8 could be more closely tied to our domain identities, including our personal icons^10. Rather than a complex system or new protocol, we just put our flat list of nicknames in templates with images & domains on the wiki^11.
Thus our chat archives, despite being based on IRC, show icons for people, and link their chat nicknames to their personal domain names, again striking a pragmatic balance.^1
The flexibility of using a wiki template allowed us to add personal time zones as well, to enable things like asking in chat, “what time is it for tantek”. This works well enough, except does not account for cross-time-zone travel, though you could update your chat-name entry if you wanted to while traveling.
Having all our chat-names in a single list^11 on a page like that revealed another interesting aspect: we have folks across all the timezones in the US & Europe, some in the Middle East, Australia, and most of Asia as well.
As a result, the IndieWeb chat channels have people awake and often discussing various topics 24 hours a day.
Drop by^8 and say hi, and be sure to have a look at our Code of Conduct.^12

paid poorly, I might add
if you could talk to the American public and tell them more financial support for State Universities that would be swell
Can never remember if you are a socialist who hates state workers or a capitalist who hates money.

It was Primarily Russia who started WWII when they invaded Poland WITH Hitler.
Russia re-occupied stolen land.
They liberated nothing.

So glad for the truth tellers like @SpaghettiKozak
Watching the threads of Nazis everywhere, Ukraine too corrupt for NATO, ASOV is neonazi, and Donbas wants independence unwind....
It shows years, decades, of effort by Russia to control information space.
I used to argue with my editors about this to no avail.
