#introduction #WriterIntro

I write (frequently queer) fantasy fiction with entertaining characters, enjoyably perilous adventures, romantic entanglements, some dark undertones, but always happy, hopeful endings.

Theyā€™re widely available in ebook, and the most recent are also in print. Find out more on my website: wendypalmer.au/books/

or find your preferred retailer here: books2read.com/wendypalmer/

My latest book is Grace & Favour, a friends-to-lovers historical gay romance set at Hampton Court Palace.

A graphic of my book covers, with the word New written over the cover for Grace and Favour, which features two cartoon-style men and a dog in a daguerreotype frame, with a ghostly figure behind them, below the title title in big fancy font.

Books

Hereā€™s a list of all my books, including my standalones, Vaer World books, Artisans duology, Mosaic Virus duology, and my Domain trilogy. All are cosy-adjacent fantasy fiction, with romance, ā€¦

Close-up of a grey Siberian cat sitting on a black bean bag with a red brick wall and a closed window in the background. He is looking to his right, past the camera. His fur is quite fluffy, especially his majestic mane.
Close-up of a grey Siberian cat standing on a black bean bag with a red brick wall and a closed door with a window in the background. His right front paw is lifted slightly as he is in (slow) motion. His head is turned, looking almost into the camera. His fur is quite fluffy, especially his majestic mane.

Out of curiosity, why? I have Linux in it and the last time any website complained about ā€œincompatibilityā€ must have been at least 5 years ago. Nowadays i think such workarounds are completely unnecessary.

i do it for cheaper prices when websites do server side tracking. i've noticed by accident a few years back that using agent strings for the oldest active microsoft release has a small impact that add up on expensive things like air line tickets.

LibreWolf (for example, among other security-conscious software packages) does it by default to reduce enabling of fingerprinting. The information is misused far more often than it is put to any of the user's interests.

If you use the app, then probably not. I don't know if they would count browser usage anyway.

@egonw agreed, there's no reason ORCID isn't just templated in the backend other than someone decided they wanted to use high tech new javascript.

i did a _lot_ of work to download/standardize ORCID in github.com/cthoyt/orcid_downloā€¦, maybe I can also demonstrate having a simple web app on top of this

@cthoyt dunno. a simple web app on top of the data is trivial. I don't think this is the issue here. like you say, the organizations making the votes *want* a complex app, and since orcid.org is the authority, web apps not running on that domain are not adding helpful

@cthoyt of course, in their defense, maybe using HTML rel="me" is not the best way of doing this, and we should just solve this at a semantic web level in the first place

@cthoyt or maybe the #ORCID should just include a snippet of schema.org that #Mastodon could use for verification. This should not be that hard. life scientists are, after all, doing this routinely (ht @elixir_europe)

but I am very disappointed that important #openInfrastructure like #ORCID cannot be more reactive to things like this. rel="me" is a very useful community standard and it should have been able to come up with some solution to solve this
