Apologies for the late notice, cancelling Homebrew Website Club SF tonight.

Not feeling 100%, and checked with Jacky to see if we could do a virtual one on Mumble so we’re going to try that.

* always parse alt with img src for accessibility info by default https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/2
Implemented in current version of:
* mf2py - behind flag, in use by Brid.gy
This is a pretty big change, likely to require updates to parsers and calling code, however, the better access to accessibility info on img elements by default is a big improvement for all.

Why you must act TODAY (US friends)

It’s the last day of 2018. By donating today, you may be able to itemize your donations and deduct them from your 2018 Federal taxes (IANAA, talk to your accountant regarding itemizing vs using the standard deduction).

Created #indieweb wiki page: https://indieweb.org/monthly_recap

Noticed @SwarmApp’s monthly recap today. It looked like a nice feature we could have on our own websites, documented it, and @cleverdevil quickly prototyped it on his own site!

Seen monthly recaps on any other sites? Please contribute!

A New Mailing List, Goodbye Instagram?, Future Book Hello Again — Roden Explorers Archive

Craig’s slow walk away from Instagram:

I want to have a place very far apart from that, where I can post photos on my own terms. Not have an algorithm decide which of my posts is best (have you noticed Instagram making the second photo in series appear first in the carousel?). And I don’t want to be rewarded for being anodyne, which is what these general algorithms seem to optimize for: things that are easily digestible, firmly on the scale of “fine, just fine.” It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the more boring stuff we shove into our eyeballs, the more boring our taste becomes.

#microformats2 parsing spec updated: http://microformats.org/wiki/index.php?title=microformats2-parsing&diff=66956&oldid=66955
* u- parsing should always do relative URL resolution per https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/10
Implemented in current versions of parsers:
* phpmf2
* mf2py
* microformats go
Resolution: proposal accepted.

No objections in above discussion, and positive opinions (👍) from several implementors on the proposal.

Proposal implementations in mf2py and microformats go parsers is sufficient to demonstrate implementability and interoperability (with updated tests cases), all as noted/linked in issue thread.

Editing specification accordingly.
