I’ve decided (finally) to unfollow the Slashdot feed and no-longer bother ever visiting the site or read any of it’s content. Why? Because Slashdot in their infinite wisdom have decided to employ tactics that make it difficult to use their site without ad-blokers:

This page could not be loaded properly due to incorrect / bad filtering rule(s) of adblockers in use. Please disable all adblockers to continue using the website. (click OK if you’d like to learn more)

I can respect this; but I can also just as easily choose never to visit your site again.

In-reply-to » 🤔 Prosoal: Disallowed the @<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.

@prologic@twtxt.net I say we should find a way to support mentions with only url, no nick, as per the original spec.

  • For @<nick url> we already got support
  • For @<nick> the posting client should expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should just render it as @nick with no link.
  • For @<url> the sending client should try to expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should try to find or construct a nick base on:
    1. Look in twtxt.txt for a nick =
    2. Use (sub)domain from URL
    3. Use folder or file name from URL

It might feel that #chatcontrol is a “modern fight”, but it is worth remembering that the attack to #privacy and #encryption is not new and needs to be fought against, again and again.

So, this is my reminder: it was exactly ten years ago that Cameron made an electoral promise to put an end to privacy:
