@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@feorag @bob
Done!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@mattcen thus I have become enlightened!

[duncanlock@cosocial.ca]

@Edent
Interesting, thanks! Also, typo: "were by solely by men."

[matdevdug@c.im]

@Edent Sorry they're both pretty bad. But hey fingers crossed we'll get a good one! I'm in the same boat, I can't delete WhatsApp or I'd lose the ability to text anyone.

[fazalmajid@social.vivaldi.net]

@Edent they are working on it, the interop will be e2ee and requires a fair bit of engineering work from the other party.

There was quite a bit of infrastructure work required, like migrating from phone numbers to logical identifiers. These alpha partners won’t be the only ones.

@Edent I'm sad I missed this, as I would have loved to have had a chat. I live three hours north of Sydney so it would have been a long shot still.

I'd love to talk to you about some of the work I'm doing. There might be something that you could get involved in which supports open science.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@andrewharvey give me a shout if you're ever in London. If not, we'll set up a Zoom date.

[andrewharvey@hachyderm.io]

@Edent I'll probably be there some time next year (I was there three times this year!), but I might try and grab a zoom date before then.

[luis_in_brief@social.coop]

@Edent how did you compile the covers?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@luis_in_brief I had them all from Calibre. Then I did this https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/11/quick-image-montages/

@DrFerrous sadly, the cats book was shite.

I had a review copy of Start Villain and loved it.

[ndonegan@mastodon.ie]

@Edent Looking at the Haiket website, and it specifically says "Connect with WhatsApp users in Europe". Does this mean that if you do use one of these options you can only talk to EU based folk in WhatsApp? That seems more than a little limiting.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@ndonegan you'll need to ask them.

[ketumbra@infosec.exchange]

@Edent are you getting involved in this WhatsApp compatibility @signalapp @Mer__edith ?

[fallenhitokiri@social.screamingatmyscreen.com]

@Edent wow, this is worse than I expected even for this site…

It seems to tilt more and more towards SV tech bros fans who ask for publicly hanging people.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@neil yeah, sometimes it is a gem. Other times a cess pit. Oh well!

[fazalmajid@social.vivaldi.net]

@Edent If you have the time, do visit Waiheke. Island, off Auckland. Lovely place. We spent one night of our honeymoon at the Te Whau lodge, and it was the best experience of the entire trip.

[peach@phpc.social]

@Edent i just wanted to say i liked your post (the actual post) and agree. And yer I agree people like D_HH have no place in an inclusive web. There are prob many others id say, but thats one who i immediately thought of.

Those hacker news comments are just stupid in my opinion, unable to see any sort of analogy.

Thanks for the post.

[nigel@unsociable.lowkey.party]

@Edent lol Sandra and Simon look like LLMs

[edent@mastodon.social]

@tml I think you've read something into my post that I didn't write.
