Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)Re: Eine POSSE!
Matthias Pfefferle (notiz.blog)Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere kurz POSSE ist ein zentraler Building Block des IndieWeb. POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to...
Ich muss teilweise zustimmen. Nicht alles muss überall hin geschickt werden.
Ich selbst arbeite noch am “Decluttering“ des eigenen Streams. Dazu ist aber erst einmal ein tieferes Verständnis darüber was da eigentlich passiert nötig.
Und hier sehe ich wiederum besonders die Plugins für beliebige CMS, wie WordPress, in der Pflicht. Installationen alleine mit Verweis auf ein Wiki genügt da nicht. Die Lernkurve ist hier steil und es ist viel Try and Error im Spiel.
ActivityPub und RSS sind da noch 2 ganz besondere Optionen, die Joe WebUser ggf nicht einmal auf dem Schirm hat. Das habe ich unlängst gerade auf einer Webseite einer UX Designerin erlebt, die mir blankes Unverständnis über die schlechte Verständlichkeit des Excerpt entgegen brachte, und es auf den Reader schob 😑

Progressive Face Super-Resolution
Progressive Face Super-Resolution via Attention to Facial Landmark arxiv.org is a machine learning model trained to reconstruct face images from tiny 16×16 pixel input images, scaling them up …
I guess it’s time to talk about pixelated images any why that may be no longer enough: https://iforcedabot.com/photo-realistic-emojis-and-emotes-with-progressive-face-super-resolution/
Astonishing what this machine can compute from a 16×16 pile of pixels.

WordPress and UTF-8
Update: WordPress 4.2 has full UTF-8 support! There’s no need to upgrade manually any more. For many years, MySQL had only supported a small part of UTF-8, a section commonly referred to as plane 0, the “Basic Multilingual Plane”, or the BMP. The UTF-8 spec is divided into “planes“, and ...
tl;dr Thanks to @GaryPendergast I now switched from latin1 to utf8mb4.
Well f*ck me but I really didn’t take care about my blog at all any more. Checked the logs and an occasional error about emojis and the database showed up. On investigation I found out that the database was still running on MYISAM and latin1. WordPress never updated this during upgrade (despite my DB having support for this for ages). My website moved a lot and existed even before switching to WordPress in 2004 so it’s sort of a miracle that it’s still working anyway. Unlike Geocities and the likes I mean 😉
PHP message: WordPress database error Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8mb4_unicode_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation [...]
Fixed by running this SQL on all of my tables:
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ENGINE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;
ALTER TABLE wp_posts CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
Joe WebUser
“Hey #indieweb Let me introduce you to "Joe WebUser". He's just heard this term for the first time ever. How should collective "we" inform Joe about the IndieWeb? For example, why he should care in the first place? How to participate? Lets talk.”
Well I’d suggest a nifty video. IndieWeb in 5 minutes. Don’t talk about the details or the implementation (that’s tech babble). Show em what’s in for Joe. Solid reasons like displaying a feed the way you like it and not how $silo AI decided.
Silo Backfeeds and GDPR
Originally intended to showcase a privacy-centred implementation of emerging social web technologies - with the aim to present a solution not initially motivated by legal requirements, but as an example of privacy-aware interaction design - my “social backfeed” design process unveiled…
Interesting thoughts on Silo Backfeeds and GDPR.
