I have only seen one side of but I have no reason to doubt what I've seen there. To me it seems indisputable that, no matter what politicians like Michael Gove may say, there is no real desire to allow small farmers to reform the farming and food landscape in England.
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Doing a little tidying up on my site and wondering whether there's a preferred font-awesome icon for micro-blog.

Oh bother. Newsblur.com is down. Now I'll have to think of something else to do while I procrastinate.
I tried posting from micro.blog (on ios) to my site, and all I got was an error message. Not easy to debug. So now I’m trying from the OSX app. Sorry if I disturbed anyone.

@cn Just text.

@jeremycherfas we cannot blame missing micropub capabilities.

@cn We can, but perhaps we shouldn’t. Anyway, as I say, hard to debug. Maybe I should switch it off and switch it on again?

@jeremycherfas it’s been known to work. Had it been images, I did add @cleverdevil’s code to my endpoint: (github)

@jeremycherfas Did you get it working again? For some reason I had a similar experience on Sunday - checking my logs showed that authentication headers were missing from the m.b. app's request to my endpoint.

@dgold Haven't tried yet. I've been busy publishing the last of my podcasts from Ireland last autumn.

I see @cygnoir has just asked Samuel Clay to add sharing to micro.blog to Newsblur. It would be even better to support any site with Micropub. That would be so worthwhile an addition to a great feed reader.
Great headlines of our time. "A study by the Public University of Navarre wins an award at an international conference"

What's the problem?

Over at , Dave Winer says:
Every blog should have a Subscribe button. In an open ecosystem this is a problem, a problem that silos don't have. Which is the advantage Twitter (a silo) has over the open web.
I guess I'm not smart enough to see what that problem might be.

Many browsers offer a subscribe button if the site’s underlying markup has appropriate pointers; I had to dig around in Firefox’s customisation to find it, but it exists …

@jeremycherfas scripting.com doesn’t have a visibly–named Subscribe button, there is a concentric arc icon that links to: scripting.com/rss.xml, thereafter Firefox offers subscription…

All true and all good points; my concern is why it should be a problem for sites to offer a Subscribe button.
When I teach writing (which I do), I always say to people, "This is ambiguous. Sure, I can ask you here in class. But most people who read this aren't going to be able to ask you to clarify. They're either going to be confused, or jump to the meaning you don't want them to."
The silly thing is, Dave is there to clarify, and he chooses not to.

That’s a bit of a disappointment. Daily Kos won’t play nicely with Instapaper.

Yeah. Been wavering a bit on that.
I think you would need to combine `fa-comment` with `fa-star` and use some fancy CSS to make it align properly ...
