@davewiner @t Tech criticism is always going to be a portion of any tech community. Meanwhile: hey, I'm building a company over here :)
@davewiner @t Here's what I think: if people don't feel welcome, that's a genuine problem. *Nobody's* approach should be prescriptive.
@davewiner @t I don't, but IndieWebCamp is a community of voices. It's not really hierarchical.
@davewiner @t 1000% agree with the problem statement. I think it's good to have multiple approaches to the problem.
@alpower Step tracking is built in. But it can also link to phone apps.
@davewiner @t Known supports RSS (outgoing; soon incoming). Lots of other projects don't. On the indieweb it's literally personal choice.
@davewiner @t Lots of debates over ideas have lasted far longer. Doesn't mean either idea is bad. Conversation doesn't need to be definitive.
@alpower Fitness tracking, and lazy notifications - knowing, eg, that I have an event coming up without having to get out my phone.
@davewiner @t On this: I think open conversation about approaches is important. Critiquing XML is part of that. So is defending it.
@davewiner @jochmann Strongly agree that openness is (part of) how you build respectful software.
@davewiner I don't think that describes the whole #indieweb community. eg: we want to support anything that will help you own your own site.
I love my Pebble watch. The next iteration looks incredible: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-awesome-smartwatch-no-compromises

Awesome, as always, to meet up with @julien51. If you're publishing online, you should know about @superfeedr: https://superfeedr.com
Everyone should have their own space to publish on the web. Inviting diverse voices to Known: http://stream.withknown.com/2015/the-web-is-stronger-with-diverse-voices-you-are-welcome
LinkedIn must have improved their algorithm, because now I'm getting connection requests from people I actually know.
@andrewducker I'm on the train into work but also on the case.

Medium is playing its hand, one new feature at a time. https://medium.com/the-story/new-ways-to-write-and-read-on-medium-4c54e5eb6a3e
Listening to the soundtrack from Month Python's Meaning of Life and thinking it would never have been made now. How did we get more prudish?
Lots to be angry about in this piece about deafness in tech. An important read and perspective. https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-hearing-monoculture-rejects-those-who-cant-hear
@davidnoob Really great piece on @modelviewmedia. Makes me so angry that you have to pay for things like hearing aids and audiologists here.
Hugh on the list of things I completely don't understand: why people pay attention to Bill O'Reilly. Unfathomable.
