My morning flight got cancelled and I got moved to a flight that arrives after HWC ends. 😔
I get in to SF Wednesday late afternoon so it's possible I will be there!

I hate the "own your data" meme in the decentralized social web. A friend of mine pointed out how useless the phrase is a few years ago and I agree. "Ownership" sounds an awful lot like digital "property", which is nonsense when moving from physical to digital stuff because copying doesn't destroy the original. The path you go down there is the path to artificial constraints like DRM. Yikes!
We should be talking about user autonomy instead. That's a much better meme.
Interesting, but destroying the original or having only one copy isn't really relevant to me, so I fail to see the argument here. I use it as a shorthand for keeping your data in a place you control, while being able to move it elsewhere if you choose. It's just a nice shorthand. If you have a suggestion for a better three-word phrase I'm all ears but "user autonomy" sounds like robots. -

I've set up #IndieAuth on my personal site. Now on the two sites that support it I can log in using myself as an IDP.
Don't worry, it gets more fun once you start getting into using Micropub apps! https://indieweb.org/Micropub/Clients -

If you want a modern equivalent, npm install nunjucks https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/templating.html#include
I really don't -

I guess that’s true. I don’t recall ever needing to include the same piece of code “zero to many times” in my 20 years of writing php though. 😁
Guess you haven't been writing PHP long enough then 😉
It's about including HTML templates, not code. #ExplainingTheJoke -
ugh for real! It irks me every time I hear this. I don't have a good explanation and I don't know why they do it, so I don't say anything though.

Taking this into consideration as I’m working on post type discovery.
Wow that's a really old post! The "future work" section is largely complete too!
• "Collect information on current services' APIs for creating different types of content" -- this became Micropub
• "Define an API spec that could reasonably be adopted by clients like Wordpress, Path, Instagram, or open-source mobile apps" -- this became Micropub and Microsub
• "Implement filtered feeds on my website that include posts with different content types" -- this exists too now! -

The danger isn’t that machines will become as intelligent as humans. That in itself is not a threat postulate.
The risk is we were wrong in our anthropocentric assessment – machines didn’t need to be intelligent at all.
Mirrors do not need to think to make us hate what we see.
that was weird

If you're talking about our GSuite Integration, no need to worry! As you can see here (https://bit.ly/2EajTQl), our Integration only lets you Invoice your Google Contacts, but will not sync Contacts and Clients between FreshBooks and G Suite. :) ^SG
better to switch to read-only access so you don't end up in the next version of my talk ;-) https://speakerdeck.com/aaronpk/oauth-when-things-go-wrong -

@klandwehr I am seeing this lately as well. I think its something in Aperture. Have you notified @aaronpk?
I'm guessing you started seeing this only in the last week or so?
I have a bug in the way a maintenance task works, and it is causing old articles to pop back up when the feed is re-fetched. It should only be happening once per feed, and I'm not going to run that maintenance again until I fix the bug. -

<me> why is this space so fucking toxic sometimes though
<@rhiaro> because the social web is made by antisocial peopleOMG
That's one of the reasons I appreciate the #indieweb's focus on in-person events! -
Thanks! The recording should be out in a few weeks, I'll post about it again then!

✍ I'm writing an article about personal websites and need your help! What website/RSS feed directories do you know of that should be included in the article?
Thanks for your help and every RT! 🤗 -

Looking @ alt to Gcal & found:
https://www.teamup.com/
Not sure what #opensource tools are real options, but:
https://alternativeto.net/software/google-calendar/?license=opensource
...seems pretty limited.
Anyone know good team calendar tools/ protocols?
ping @RossSchulman @daniellecrobins @t @aaronpk @konobi #indieweb
The only thing I know of like that is https://nextcloud.com but I haven't actually used it myself recently.
I keep getting tempted to move off of Google, but I have too many other projects to focus on that make a bigger difference to my online life. -

Ahh this is something I’m personally wanting to. I was going to try to make it something like Eventbrite so people can build events and send RSVPs to it as well as comments and the likes. Also this video intro is excellent, gotta make it the norm on a Mr. Rogers kinda approach, lol.
Yeah totally! Built in RSVPs is definitely on the feature list, but there's so much to it before that's even relevant.
I'm glad you like the intro 😄 I'm in enough hotels these days to always be filming a new one too! -

It’s the distribution and ability to monetize their content. I made like $10 off my post about my dad on Medium. And it was easy. The experience isn’t too novel anymore either.
Didn't they drop the monetization thing a while ago? That's amazing that you made $10 tho, that's a lot in internet money. -

I'm getting sick of reading things on Medium. I need to understand what the perceived benefits are so I can understand how we could make alternatives like write.as more popular.
tbh I don't know why people use it anymore. It used to be a novel writing "experience" with a nice clean editor and clean presentation as well. I think there's still something something distribution that people feel is a benefit? -

And from a consumption perspective, every RSS feed reader I’ve used on iOS/macOS/web is still a far cry from what you get at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Once we make consumption easy, the creators will move. And RSS could continue powering the open web.
Totally agreee! We've been working on stuff like this in the #indieweb community for a while! It's getting there, still a long ways to go, but here's my current reading experience using Open Web technologies: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet
