@wolf480pl a bit of language pedantry, it would be more normal in English to say "on the streets" (or maybe "in the street") and "in the town square(s)". Don't ask me why ...

> Is this false?

It's about as true about the street or town square as it is about the web, for all the same reasons ;)

@wyatwerp Photo albums only need HTML/CSS, unless you want them to be private and shared only with certain people. In which case FOAF doesn't really help you with that as far as I understand it (although maybe combined with Oauth?). Public comments on public blogs/ videos/ podcasts etc, maybe, but there are other protocols like #WebSub that can also be used for that.

@alcinnz

@wyatwerp like the author said, FOAF was a product of a time when it was normal for most web users to have personal and professional homepages. I can't see how it would be helpful for chat, maybe for finding the chat address of a user by entering their email address or homepage? But you'd still need a chat app using a realtime protocol like #IRC, #XMPP, #Wave, #Matrix, or #WebRTC.

@wolf480pl true. Good moves by #Minds

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo I was talking about #Yalp, sorry about the typo ;)

#FunGame take any quote where people make vague, doomsaying comments about the web or the net in general, and replace those words with "paper" throughout the quote.

I now find it really annoying when I search the #SoftwareManager in #LinuxMint , get more than one result, but can't see the license of each option.

@kravietz it would require SSB apps to include a node of the namechain (if they want to implement the feature) and check any unfamiliar public keys against it whenever they download new posts. Like the way web browsers include code to reference the #DNS system, so they can map the domain name of a website to the IP address of the webserver that hosts it.

@pixeldev is there a portal where I can image search the whole of #PixelFed, like I can search the #PeerTube network on peertube-index.net ?

@kravietz the blockchain is the means of ensuring uniqueness of usernames without a centralized nameserver. I don't understand why this wouldn't also be useful on SSB (or any social network), especially if it had 1000 times its current user numbers.

@D-503 I know, right? #CorporateWelfare and keeping businesses from suffering during hard times is just sound political management. #SocialWelfare and keeping citizens from suffering during hard times (like when they get sick) is COMMUNISM!

@kravietz with Jami, the account isn't stored on the blockchain, only a record that associates a certain account ID with a certain username. If you delete your account (or lose access to it), that username effectively points to nothing.

#HatTip to @kalvn for the link, which I found through searching #screencast

I just tested #RecordScreenIO:
https://recordscreen.io/

Worked perfectly, super easy to use. I was able to choose whether to record my screen and webcam, or just the screen, and which elements of the screen to record (whole screen or particular window?). After asking the web browser for permission to use the mic. and access the screen, it recorded with my voiceover, and presented the result as an embedded video. Then I had the option to download the video, or close and try again. 10/10 #UX

@catonano #Twitch?

@mattmcnutt or this?
