What is twtxt for me? It is a community of users sharing plain text following a specification that can be readable by both humans and machines.

For some it is a microblogging platform, for others it is a social network, others see it as an enhanced RSS feed and a few consider it a hackerā€™s toy. I use it as a learning platform. And as collateral damage, Iā€™m meeting some very interesting people.

And for you?

In-reply-to » Bit of an update, there is now a general licence for all my stuff:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org back in the good old days, when browsers let you choose between loading a site with or without SSL, the font was way more optional, as the HTTP version doesnā€™t have it.

ā€œhypnofontregularā€ is still loaded through CSS. In the ideal world, browsers would have the toggle, to not load fonts, more accessible.

The site should still look good without it, but I have not tested it in a while, as everyone is more or less forced to use it with the fancy font, by their own browser.

Bit of an update, there is now a general licence for all my stuff:

ā€œUnless projects are accompanied by a different license, Creative Commons apply (ā€œBY-NC-NDā€ for all art featuring the Canine mascot and ā€œBY-NCā€ for everything else).ā€

Itā€™s even included on my website, where most of the demand for a clear licence originated from:

In practice this changes nothing, as I was never enforcing anything more than this anyway and given permission for other use too. Now itā€™s just official that this is the baseline, of what can be done, without having to ask for permission first.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

In the meantime, I tried to add English subtitles, so the international audience has a chance of enjoying some of them, too. There are a bunch of puns, so translations donā€™t work at that great.

I went to an exhibition of my fine arts teacher who passed away last year. He was a pretty cool dude and good teacher. I reckon I had him in 7th and probably also 8th grade. His Schelme (imps) were very famous here in this county and presumably well beyond.

Unfortunately, picture frame glas doesnā€™t mix all that great with a fairly dark light and my camera. So, sorry in adavance for the poor quality. Anyway, I photographed a few funny paintings. Watch out, it may contain saucy contents: https://lyse.isobeef.org/siegfried-wagner-farrenstall-2025-03-15/.
