Marty McGuire martymcgui.re

Thanks to Matthew for reading my post on recent IndieWeb discourse and adding a new section with his responses and notifying me about it via email.

There are certainly a number of things in Matthew’s response that tempt me to respond, but I’d like to focus on this:

I am, nevertheless, a little annoyed by the exhortation to “talk with us”. What does it look like I’m doing over here, anyway? Oh, no, it’s not good enough to post one’s opinion on the web. I’m supposed to use one of the IndieWeb’s chats, either IRC, Slack, or Discord. […] I am already talking with you. I’m doing it here, on my own website for all to see, in the best IndieWeb tradition. And you are talking to me if you quote me on your own website or email me.

I don’t consider my post a reply to Matthew’s post. I do not see his post as an invitation to conversation. I read it as a “take” - an opinion piece intended to make the reader feel a certain way and then close the topic, complete with clickbait headline.

I shouldn’t have to point out that bloggers-blogging-at-bloggers has a long history of unproductive conversation. Reducing the impact of unproductive conversations is part is why there’s not an IndieWeb mailing list. It’s easy in these formats to go hard on the abstract, and to spend time constructing arguments instead of asking questions.

That’s not to say that posts can’t inspire change. In the past day or so indieweb.org/discuss has been updated to mention right in the opening sentence that the IRC, web, Slack, and Discord chats are all bridged. Discussions have also kicked up (not for the first time) around making the homepage more welcoming, focusing on principles first, etc.

Those changes are being decided in the real-time chat, where you can meet and talk with the individuals (all volunteers!) who make up the IndieWeb community. I reckon it beats trying to reverse-engineer that community from a wiki.

Raw dog the open web!

In our current digital landscape, where a corporate algorithm tells us what to read, watch, drink, eat, wear, smell like, and sound like, human curation of the web is an act of revolution. A simple list of hyperlinks published under a personal domain name is subversive.

Tantek Çelik blogged about IndieWebCamp Portland:

We wrapped up with our usual Create Day Demos session, live streamed for remote attendees to see as well. Lots of great demos of things people built, designed, removed, cleaned-up, documented, and blogged! Everyone still at the camp showed something on their personal site!

I miss IndieWebCamp. Don’t think I’ve attended one since we hosted in Austin a couple weeks before COVID hit.

I'm working on updating her #website, https://mskiersten.com with a full page dedicated to the album and how to listen, but the changes aren't quite ready to go yet 😅

Feel free to check it out anyway and check back later for a shiny new page!

New blog post 📰

I’ve owned several AppleTV models since the first generation. But as my current devices stop getting updated, I’m not sure I want to keep purchasing them.

I’ve also had Google’s devices but only on the dumb TV’s my family doesn’t use. They are stuck in the Apple ecosystem for now.

Had a great time at IndieWebCamp Portland 2024 this past Sunday — our 10th IndieWebCamp in Portland!

https://events.indieweb.org/2024/08/indiewebcamp-portland-2024-8bucXDlLqR0k

Being a one day #IndieWebCamp, we focused more on making, hacking, and creating, than on formal discussion sessions.

Nearly everyone gave a brief personal site intro with a summary of how they use their #IndieWeb site and what they would like to add, remove, or improve.
* https://indieweb.org/2024/Portland/Intros

There were lots of informal discussions, some in the main room, on the walk to and from lunch, over lunch in the nearby outdoor patio, or at tables inside the lobby of the Hotel Grand Stark.

We wrapped up with our usual Create Day¹ Demos session, live streamed for remote attendees to see as well. Lots of great demos of things people built, designed, removed, cleaned-up, documented, and blogged! Everyone still at the camp showed something on their personal site!
* https://indieweb.org/2024/Portland/Demos

Group photo and lots more about IndieWebCamp Portland 2024 at the event’s wiki page:
* https://indieweb.org/2024/Portland

Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help organize IndieWebCamp Portland 2024! Thanks especially to Marty McGuire (@martymcgui.re) for taking live notes during both the personal site intros and create day demos, to @KevinMarks.com (@kevinmarks@xoxo.zone @kevinmarks @kevinmarks@indieweb.social) for the IndieWebCamp live-tooting, and Ryan Barrett (@snarfed.org) for amazing breakfast pastries from Dos Hermanos.

The experience definitely raised our hopes and confidence for returning to Portland in 2025.²

I just love how I stumble upon great personal homepages for technical stuff at work, and later stumble upon more, great personal homepages via fedi etc. at night. We really need to keep this #smallweb going! 💙 )

Here's a rather old post about "The TTY demystified", along with its authors homepage: https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/tty/

There are some interesting things going on with the new Patreon-like Sub Club for the fediverse. Presumably it can send members-only posts via ActivityPub because it knows which followers are paid subscribers. I’m puzzled by the payment inside third-party apps, though… I wonder how that works.

Manton Reece www.manton.org

I like this post from Marty McGuire about the IndieWeb and how the indieweb.org wiki can sometimes be overwhelming for new users:

That’s because indieweb.org is not a presciption or a cookbook or an exercise plan. It doesn’t tell you how to “be IndieWeb”. It’s a collective memory of experiments, some successful and some not, from a group of experimenters that has changed greatly over time.

Also some nice words for Micro.blog in there. The wiki is an incredible resource, but just start with your own web site and don’t worry about the rest unless you want to dig deeper.
