    We generally think about language as a THING: letters, sounds, signs. But little bits of silence or invisibility are found surprisingly often in language.

    Episode 23 of Lingthusiasm, the podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics, is a tour through the various kinds of linguistic nothings 🎧💚🕳️

    Twitter is like the 9-5 job you fucking hate.
    Mastodon is like coming home, wrapping yourself up all nice and cozy in tinfoil and then getting in the microwave and blowing yourself up tae fuck

    I want ActivityPub (and the likes) to evolve to a point where I can have something like @aaronpk has on his personal site as https://aaronparecki.com/aaronpk

    @smith There are a few APIs. We're considering it! But also want to make sure any support for Mastodon stays true to what Micro.blog is about. Probably won't rush into anything until the dust settles.

    People continued working on it. Everything you need using W3C standards like Webmention, Microformats2…give it a try? https://IndieWeb.org/WordPress/Plugins

    Programming is great because you can just take that huge messy chuck from the middle of your function and hide it away under a new name in a new function and feel good about how you "cleaned up" the original function by abstracting the internals.

    This is exactly how I used to clean my room as a kid - I'd refactor all the junk on the floor to be under my bed. Boom - problem solved.

    How about if, instead of ditching Twitter for Mastodon, we all start blogging and subscribing to each other's Atom feeds again instead? The original distributed social network could still work pretty well if we actually start using it

  • I keep wanting to “like” things here…but I don’t want to favourite them. I’ve been trained not to comment but star on social media and it’s not easy to untrain yourself.

    Yeah the indieweb community have been thinking about this for a while - it seems like this should be their moment to shine, I'm not sure why Mastodon is getting all the attention (at least in the Twitter circles I follow)

    I have started to think of Micro.blog as a wonderful discovery and aggregation service for the IndieWeb. It fits neatly into my Microsub reader, enables me to find new people to follow and interact with, and integrates perfectly with my website through Webmentions. 👏🏻

    Yes, Twitter as a platform is bad and getting worse, but I cannot afford to migrate away from a system where I've built a community and audience I love in favour of other platforms where that's actively harder to do. Marginalised folks can't afford to "just rebuild"

  • OK, my posts to social.dancohen.org now syndicate to Micro.blog (@dancohen), Mastodon (@dancohen@mastodon.social), and Twitter (@dancohen). Micro.blog is my preferred hangout, as it has a good vibe and is by far the most thoughtful and cleanly designed of the three.

    Sleep has to be one of the costliest currencies out there. You borrow some from your daily kitty and you have to pay back with some high interest rate. That is over and above the drab feeling you carry throughout the day. It’s better not to lose any sleep over losing sleeping.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
