Every time I visit Aaron Parecki’s website, I come back with some inspiration - understand why & how he is implementing the things the way he is. There are many design decisions he’s handled perfectly.
But every time I visit his “Articles” page, I am bewildered with one decision he has made there. He loads a list of posts, fine. But then follows it with complete contents of 20 recent articles. Given that his articles are heavy on images, that’s more than 25 MB of response. Not ideal, I think.
I keep struggling with that page, and blog posts in general.
Right now, any time a post appears in a list, there isn't special handling for it, so these blog posts appear the same whether they are on the "articles" page or whether a single one appears in a tag page or my home page. I *think* I'm happy with that decision for most places on my site, but you're right that it's a bit much having 20 of them in a row.
If I was better about always including a featured image and always writing a summary, I would definitely switch to a sort of "card" view on this page, but I haven't figured out what to do when a post has no image or summary, since just the title isn't quite enough. -

@aaronpk it was. IRCv3.2 METADATA started as resistance to that crowd.
they had some good ideas. at the least, SecuShare is worth looking at, as it's the latest iteration of their ideas -

everytime people talk about cryptographic petnames I just go back in time to the Semantic IRC, PSYC, SecuShare crowd
the one key thing that crowd always misses is that we are building this stuff for normal people to use. normal people don't care about any of this. they get user@domain and user.domain.tld subdomains.
people don't want to tell the difference between
- Alyssa (0x12345678)
- Alyssa (0x87654321)
and they aren't going to go to the trouble to build a trust graph
Semantic IRC is the worst of every world -

please tell me "Semantic IRC" is not an actual thing -

this is a brainlet post, but also a wise one. fediverse shouldn't be held back by these kinds of research problems. i don't think its categorically impossible to build usable WoT or cryptographic social networks, but you actually don't need these things to make fedi work and/or succeed.
which is the real problem with w3c people trying to write protocols like AP. sometimes a less galaxy brain solution is the right one because its more important to have practically useful tools than the perfectly distributed whatever that people are daydreaming about -

I am so waiting for a new iPad mini! That is my favorite size and I’m so sad they haven’t been updated in ages!

this stuff from cwebber about webs of trust is entirely the wrong way to go for identity
is this like a pseudo subtoot? referencing the actual conversation but not linking to it? ubertoot?

You’re not going to believe it, but I can’t reply to the Wordpress post from my reader because the mf2 HTML feed doesn’t have a URL property to tell me the URL of the post from your home page feed. -
