[tantek] [benatwork] do your posts still accept webmention comments? E.g. on https://werd.io/2024/substack-rival-ghost-federates-its-first-newsletter-techcrunch ?

[benatwork] Something's currently broken with webmention. Thanks for the prod - I'll take another look at fixing

[snarfed] I'm looking for an explainer on index-based vs inline markup, ie "characters 27-39 links to http://foo" vs "<a href="http://foo">...</a>"

Loqi TSS is Twitter Style Sheets or Text Style Sheets, a compressed form of CSS applicable to short bits of text, suitable for storing in very small fields like 512 bytes https://indieweb.org/TSS

[tantek] AFAIK all "longer" writeups/analysis of those approaches are pre-web, back when SGML was one of many approaches to marking up / styling things. I think there were plenty of such analyses but in the 1980s and thus impossible to web search for (since Google killed Netnews search which would likely be a good source)

jimwins Bluesky calls them "RichText facets" and Paul Frazee has a blog post explaining why they chose it: https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/why-facets

jimwins Yeah, it's actually pretty savage. Actually getting a mail server running might be easier, but you'll quickly hit the problem of the big mail providers not wanting to talk to your server.
#
jimwins fediverse:creator could be seen a signal of that sort of problem being on the horizon for Mastodon, as well as seeing what Meta/Threads does in the name of the moderation problems.

[KevinMarks] Google Wave used the offsets thing as a way to make the Operational Transforms more tractable , but that also made interop harder. As the bsky example shows, how you count offsets is hard with the variable size of what is considered a character by different programming languages, and if you get the offset wrong you can break encoding as well as layout

[tantek] Heads-up to folks here who want to participate in W3C TPAC and could benefit from funding assistance (e.g. if you don't have a company paying for you to go), applications for the Inclusion Fund for TPAC 2024 are now open: https://gzobeteisdd.typeform.com/to/PS8Jz5Rj
