Congrats! Welcome to Micropub land! #indieweb

I think an important aspect of the IndieWeb to remember is that even though one uses a domain as their primary identity, that doesn’t preclude the use of multiple domains for different aspects of your identity. In fact this is something that was discussed in the Identity and the IndieWeb session at IWC Baltimore 2018

How machine learning is likely to discriminate against minorities statistically from @acolyer “a classifier will most likely use complicated combinations of multiple categories and any rare combinations will have very few observations.” https://blog.acolyer.org/2017/01/31/european-union-regulations-on-algorithmic-decision-making-and-a-... #indieweb
This seems like a good time to re-read @hertling's book Kill Process, in which the protagonist, a database programmer at the world's largest social network, decides to destroy the company by decentralizing social networking #indieweb http://amzn.to/2FWgmUc

In order to align native comments with webmentions I wanted to remove the need for a commenter to enter an email address but still have 'Name' as a required field. Unfortunately, the setting in WordPress is for both or neither.

By hooking into preprocess_comment I could prevent a comment being posted if $fields[comment_author] was blank but, unfortunately, this seems to stop the processing of webmentions - presumably because at the point of processing the author field hasn't yet been filled from the webmention data - so have had to revert the change.

I was making some changes to the way comments work - specifically with regards to required fields - and think It might have had a knock on effect with webmentions. This post will serve as a test.

A user considers

I really enjoyed reading Eli Mellen's post of a couple of days ago: Dear IndieWeb, it may be time to start considering the user, not just the technical spec. It really struck a chord with me because I have so often felt exactly the same frustrations, but my moaning comes from a position of consi... More this way ...
Happy first day of spring!

Time for some spring cleaning.

It makes sense to special case the [a-z] microformats2 class name segment requirement to allow numbers in vendor prefixes, since there are existing vendor/product names with numbers, e.g. (made up examples with actual (past) vendor/product names)

@sivavaid There _is_ a movement that's been building over the past few years called the #IndieWeb that is encouraging exactly this thing. They're creating new, easier-to-use, and open technology to replace what we've lost: https://indieweb.org/lost_infrastructure
@artlung Personally, I can't wait for the microsub spec to go mainstream. I think it'll open up a whole new renaissance for feed readers. https://indieweb.org/Microsub #RSSlives

Brendan Dawes - Post from Instagram to Kirby

Brendan shows how he uses IFTTT and a webhook to post to his own site from Instagram. I think I might set up something similar to post from Untappd to my own site.

Sadly, that developer left Facebook. #Indieweb
