I'm going to #MWC23 and #4YFN23 next week in Barcelona, is someone I know going as well?

(Or even if I don't know you but you want to chat! :D)

@deadsuperhero @smallcircles @andy Hey thanks for the ping! (and thanks Sean for the nice comments on my apps :D)

I've written some follow up on codeberg in case anyone's interested to see my opinion on some of these things: https://codeberg.org/postmodern/hubris/issues/1#issuecomment-806214

@smallcircles @gabriel @panda The Data Utility Company (the ones in charge of introducing Solid PODs in Belgium) did a presentation about what they're doing last year, you can check it out if you want to learn what they're doing https://vimeo.com/709214424#t=610

I watched it a long time ago, but I seem to recall they're giving PODs to each citizen but are vetting which apps can be used, so it's not as good as we'd like but at least it's Solid so it opens to door for more interoperability in the future.

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk yesterday, From Zero to Hero with Solid!

If you missed it or want to watch it again you can get the recording here: https://video.fosdem.org/2023/H.1301%20%28Cornil%29/sovcloud_from_zero_to_hero_with_solid.mp4

(it should eventually appear on the event page but it's taking some time)

#Solid #FOSDEM

Starting in 2 hours! You can catch the livestream in the link below, or watch the recording later on. #FOSDEM #Solid

Remember that next week I'll be giving my talk on #Solid at FOSDEM! The schedule has changed since I announced it, make sure to be there at the right time if you planned on attending :D. There will also be a recording if you miss it live!

@rosano Hey, thanks :D

Do tell me if you find any issues with Safari because I don't even own an Apple device, so I have no idea if the app even works there :/ Which I guess it should because it's just a web app, but you know xD

It's here!

After working on it for a long time, I'm finally ready to release my new app: Umai 😋️

Can't wait to see your recipes 👨‍🍳️

@viticci I'm not the one working on it, but you should check out @elk

@aftd @danbri @andy Yes, apps can talk directly to Pods.

Actually, in my opinion, that's how most (if not all) Solid Apps should behave :).

In case you want to play around with some, I've made a couple that behave this way:

I submitted a talk proposal for FOSDEM, and I'm glad to announce that it's been accepted 🥳! FOSDEM will be held the 4th & 5th of February in Brussels.

I hope to see you there :D.

@yisraeldov I see xD

This is the first CW I use, so I'm not too familiar with how they "should be used". I recently listened to a @weareopencoop podcast where they talk about different reasons to use CWs, and one of them is to mark content that could be annoying for some people.

Also, it doesn't help that I use an instance-of-one, so there isn't really any rules of conduct I can refer to.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know. I guess I won't be using them as much as I thought.

Well, now it broke completely :/

This is the biggest problem I see with these tools. It's ok if they don't know everything, but when they start making things up with complete confidence, that's a problem. I don't even think this "Okgrow" company exists.

Aha! But apparently, it hasn't read my personal website xD

Which is interesting, because I'm pretty sure more people have read my website than the Soukai documentation. So it is interesting to see that it prioritizes GitHub content, whatever it is, over any run-of-the-mill personal website.

For context, this is a library that only has 10 stars in GitHub and I'm probably the only person using it. Certainly, I'm the only person who's written any documentation or published code using it (that I know of).

So this tells me that this thing has read everything online O.o

I just tried asking #ChatGPT some things about my library Soukai, and I'm very surprised that it knew about it. Sure, it answered mostly what is already written in the documentation, and the code snippets weren't 100% right. But I'm surprised that it knew it at all.

Also, thanks to @moodle for the purchase! I got it using EduCash, a training allowance they give to employees.

After 10+ years of making websites, you'd think I already know CSS. But I just signed up for Josh W. Comeau's #CSSforJS course and I'm sure I will learn a lot!

You should check it out, and you can follow my experience taking the course in my website: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/learning-css

I never thought I'd say this, but I just learned about a Mastodon feature reading a Seth Godin blog post. Good times :D.

(I learned about the /explore page, no idea it existed)

I also seems like he's going to do something with Mastodon, which is great.
