  • Sections and Outlines in Pump.io

    2015-03-25T07:18:12Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers, sazius

    What to do if you want to make a section with a header in your pump.io message? What to do if you want it to be comprehensible for something like screenreaders, or meaningful with CSS?

    Dianara 1.2.3 has a "header" markup option, which makes the text a paragraph with lots of styling. That's not semantic (it's a WYSIWYG editor though).

    In Pumpa, I made div elements. They even got proper xml:lang and lang attributes made out of the lazy "lang=en" I had added. Headers were h5, which I chose because message titles are h4 on my Timeline. The titles are h2 on the messages' pages though. That seems perfect, as long as message titles are not made h5 or deeper elsewhere. If they are, you'll get a font-size-related mess.

    HTML5 proposes a solution: Sections and Outlines. I tried using the section tag in Pumpa, and it disappeared together with (xml:)lang; the paragraphs stayed there only thanks to Markdown. True, it is not really supported: section is something like div in Firefox 36 (this page indicates support since Firefox 4). The intent is, roughly, for a browser to consider any tags like h1-h6 inside a section a level deeper than those in the parent section (don't take my word for it if you are going to write anything).

  • Chromium / Google Chrome and Etherpad

    2015-03-24T22:05:53Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

    When a Chromium user uses its "Translate to " feature to read the contents of an Etherpad, they replace the actual contents with the machine translation. Please don't do that, or press Ctrl+Z in the editor if you did.

  • Americans and Coca-Cola

    2015-03-08T12:24:54Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

    A Russian Wikipedia article states with one citation that the most popular lunch food is a sandwich and Coca-Cola. How true is that, and how popular lunch (which starts at 12) is?

    Do you really mean "Americans", or do you mean US people? ;)

    JanKusanagi @identi.ca at 2015-03-08T13:32:35Z

    JanKusanagi, ;) por cierto lo pueden creer de los estadounidenses.

  • Firefox and Pump.io

    2014-11-19T16:37:19Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

    Firefox DevEd and Nightly have a "Share this page" button, which shows 6 social networking service icons and a (currently useless) "View more" button. I think that's the "SocialAPI" thing. JFYI, if you care and want to file a bug or make an add-on for something.

    That'd be interesting ;)

  • 10 Years of Firefox

    2014-11-10T07:27:15Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

    It's 10 years since the Firefox 1.0 release.

    http://firefox10.org/ #fx10

    You are supposed to also use "#ChooseIndependent" there, but I cannot make myself fully understand what "independent" means. Maybe it's another word for "free" or "forkable".

    Aleksej at 2014-11-10T16:24:17Z

    Watched the video. It talks about independence of the user.

    If not with a default profile, that difference from the others can be achieved by configuration.

  • Firehose reset?

    2014-10-27T20:45:09Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

    Did anything happen to Firehose? Pumpa today showed 1 item, then newer ones appeared, but no older ones.

  • "Like"

    2014-10-24T16:46:44Z via Pumpa To: Public CC: Followers

    The simplicity of "Like" saves energy, but people often ascribe the properties of liking or favoring different things about the "Liked" thing to the action. What can be done with that without making it a compulsory 5-grade rating of 5 things about a comment?

    I'd be OK with just an easily available description suggesting a common meaning. One word "like" is not enough, because it is not simple (for the lack of a context).

  • Dianara → Contacts → Lists → Remove Member

    2014-10-18T15:18:17Z via Dianara To: Public CC: Followers, JanKusanagi @identi.ca

    I removed a list member, and now the Meanwhile… feed shows "Aleksej removed Member Name". She is still in another list. I am not following her, and, I think, was not when I clicked the button.

    Show all 8 replies

    You can FOLLOW and STOP-FOLLOWING people, and you can ADD and REMOVE people or things from collections.

    They're really very different verbs.

    I meant why all three just say "removed" without obvious details. :-)

    Aleksej at 2014-10-18T16:30:04Z

    >> Aleksej:

    “I meant why all three just say "removed" without obvious details.”


    Which "all three"?

    • The verb "follow" results in an activity such as "JohnDoe followed Jane".
    • The verb "stop-following" results in an activity such as "JohnDoe stopped following Jane".
    • The verb "add" results in an activity such as "JohnDoe added Jane".
    • The verb "remove" results in an activity such as "JohnDoe removed Jane".


    JanKusanagi @identi.ca at 2014-10-18T16:39:03Z

    Which "all three"?

    Web UI, Dianara, Pumpa

    Aleksej at 2014-10-18T17:33:18Z

    >> Aleksej:

    “Web UI, Dianara, Pumpa”


    Oh, simple: because the description of the activities is given by the Pump.io core, by the server. The client has no control over that.


    We could reinvent the wheel and generate our own descriptions, but I really don't see the point.
