I find the Spanish tendency to drop the subject of a sentence when it's implied by the format of the verb to be both jarring and admirably efficient

May 29, 2021, 2:18 PM -04:00When did you join the IndieWeb?
(Hopefully this appears at https://www.indieforums.net) I think I first heard of the IndieWeb movement in 2016 sometime. It’s a bit hazy now, but I’ve a memory that I stumbled on it through a trail of links starting on Wikity. I’ve tinkered with web sites in some form or another for a long time, and I have happy memories of various weird Geocities experiments, sadly lost to the sands of time it seems. As far as independently hosting goes, I appear to have had a self-hosted blog since 2006 at ... -

This post will show you step by step how you can let people log in to your website with their own IndieAuth website so you don't need to worry about user accounts or passwords. What is IndieAuth? IndieAuth is an extension of OAuth 2.0 that enables an individual website like someone's WordPress, Gitea or OwnCast instance to become its own identity provider. This means you can use your own website to sign in to other websites that support IndieAuth. You can learn more about the differences be... -

Slack Engineering
Interop’s Labyrinth: Sharing Code Between Web & Electron Apps - Slack Engineering
While it’s no secret that the cross-platform Slack Desktop app is built on Electron, it might be slightly less well known that it’s a hybrid app built around our web app (slack.com). This is one of Electron’s most compelling draws — not only can you build a cross-platform desktop app from scratch with the web technologies you … -

Feb 15, 2021, 12:17 PM -05:00 I don't organize my bookmarks, though I've always meant to. That being said, isn't the point of IndieWeb's bookmark entry type to avoid relying on an external service for this?
Feb 15, 2021, 4:25 AM -05:00Testing a new browser gave me the incentive and opportunity to clean up my pile of "bookmarks". Wondering how most people use and organise their browser #bookmarks? Do you keep everything in separate folders? Never gotten around in using one of those "pinning" services, even-though I've been "bookmarking" interesting things using my "Known CMS" site, but I don't organise those properly using tags. -

A person I’ve never met dances gleefully to a song I’ve never heard and I am smiling for days. The sun shines on the snow and the tree shadows draw dark lines across the yard and I am filled with joy. Two people who don’t even exist fall in love in a novel and I am ecstatic.
