@zvava@twtxt.net I gave this, in my mind, a like/star/love.
Yes, I know, this is a “bad taste” joke. I appreciate you, @thecanine@twtxt.net!
Cheers @mkennedy@mkennedy & @brianokken@brianokken , listening late to @pythonbytes@pythonbytes episode 446, great as usual!
Listening to the JetBrains survey thing I always worry about the sampling bias… All the cool scientists using Python, all the journalists doing data journalism, the urban planners and geospace people, the blender people, the people doing movie post-production pipelines, all the hobbyists… I think the survey doesn’t reach or represent a large chunk of Python users.
@thecanine@twtxt.net or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂
Since Google announced their intentions to heavily limit sideloading on Android, starting end of 2026, I’ve been looking for potential solutions, for this policy change, that threatens the majority of projects I maintain, in some way. Google already killed my browser project years ago, but I have no other choice, than to fight this, any way I can.
The best choice to deal with this, will probably be the Android Debug Bridge, which can be used not only to install apps unrestricted, but also to uninstall, or remove, almost any unnecessary part of the OS. Shizuku, combined with Canta Debloater, is the winning combination for now.
I’ve already removed most Google apps from my device: the annoying AI assistant, the stupid Google app adding the annoying articles, left of your homes screen, Google One, Gboard, Safety app… it’s amazing, no distracting Google slopware, like in the good old Android 2 days! And I absolutely intend to keep it this way, from now on, no new Google apps or services on my devices, unless Google can give me a good enough reason, to allow them there and whenever the app that verifies signatures, to block installing apps not approved by Google, I’ll just remove it from my device and advocate others do so too.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org retwts are a discovery feature! on federated platforms with no algorithm where you only ever see posts from accounts you explicitly follow, the element of “hey look at this!” helps users to find other accounts they might like organically
i agree quoting and replying forum-style is generally a much better way of doing things even though im a heathen and i revel in the dark patterns inspired by quote posts but when you have nothing to add and you just want to share a twt with your followers it’d be good to have a standardized way of linking to twt

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, that girl is good! :-D
<details> tag in HTML; it lets you write a sentence or so that someone can then click to expand to see the actual post. it's called a CW because most people use it to warn for potentially triggering/harmful subjects, but you can really use it for anything, like spoilers in a TV show or even for joke punchlines
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I reckon the original <details> need to have the open attribute set in order to expand it, so I cannot just define some custom CSS rules to do that in my browser.
But in regards to twtxt, my client won’t hide anything in that realm anyway. :-) It’s just more noise.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org i think if there’s an option to expand them by default (which can be done with <details> even) then i think it should be good!
@bender@twtxt.net ohhh oops! i will work harder then 🫡🫡
The image needs to be an absolute URL, and some tags are missing. Almost there!
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it is not showing for me, on a validator. Missing something?
(Yes, she’s the one who did that Wisky bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HDBSm2s18s )
We’ve got a new feature!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ouch 😲
@dce@hashnix.club Nope. 😃 What’s that genre called? Sounds like old horror movies from the 70’ies (or it could be a soundtrack to Salad Fingers, if anyone remembers that).
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I hope so 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ta. The only good use for <details> is to collapse long logs in bug analysis reports. Other than that, I find it rather annoying to expand sections manually.
As for spoilers, personally, I don’t care at all. Not the slightest bit. If there is something that I don’t wanna read, I just stop reading. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But I’ve got the feeling that I’ve got an unpopular opinion on that matter. ;-)
@bender@twtxt.net I see, thanks. Well, I never found these warnings useful. To hide answers to conundrums or the like, ROT13ing or base64-encoding them is plenty sufficient.
Hahaha, I never heard of Poopgate before. :-D Poor passengers.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz all @prologic@twtxt.net has to do is to allow <details> and the subset under it. Granted, it could be implemented on the formatting toolbar too…
added opengraph to my blog :D https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/articles/underground-soundcloud-remixes
Something like this, for example.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org a content warning is kind of like a forum spoiler cut, or like the <details> tag in HTML; it lets you write a sentence or so that someone can then click to expand to see the actual post. it’s called a CW because most people use it to warn for potentially triggering/harmful subjects, but you can really use it for anything, like spoilers in a TV show or even for joke punchlines
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org a content warning is a way to tell the audience the content they are about to see is (or might be) shocking, or unsuitable, or unlikable. The audience can then chose to see it, or not. You know, akin of movies stating:
“Warning: The following film contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.”
@zvava@twtxt.net i think CWs would be very cool here!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah it’s not all that tall hahah! but yeah i am totally blinded to any sense of tall/short buildings lmao
@zvava@twtxt.net I never used any of the social media platforms, that’s why I’m probably ignorant.
I don’t understand the concept of a retwt. Just quote the (relevant) parts from whereever and comment on that. Or post a link instead of a quote. Sounds simple enough. :-) That’s also has the benefit that it works with every source, no matter what. Since it’s called retwt, I’d imagine this to only work (well) with whatever messages the system itself offers. But I could be wrong. What would be the benefit of having a dedicated message type or structure for “hey, look at that” messages in your opinion?
Hmm, what’s a content warning?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fun fact, inhabitants of this town are nicknamed „Brandstifter“ (arsonists). In the 19th century, a firebug caused a number of big fires here.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ten stories or more are already very tall in my books. Not sure at which height I would start calling high rise buildings sky scrapers, but Wikipedia suggests around 150 meters, depending on region.
Oh, I just found https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Pier_17_2018-03_jeh.jpg and this really does not look all that high. I thought that this would be at least 50 or 100 meters up. I was completely wrong. :-D
at first i dismissed the idea of likes on twtxt as not sensible…like at all — then i considered they could just be published in a metadata field (though that field could get really unruly after a while)
retwts are plausible, as “RE: https://example.com/twtxt.txt#abcdefg”, the hash could even be the original timestamp from the feed to make it human readable/writable, though im extremely wary of clogging up timelines
i thought quote twts could be done extremely sensibly, by interpreting a mention+hash at the end of the twt differently to when placed at the beginning — but the twt subject extension requires it be at the beginning, so the clean fallback to a normal reply i originally imagined is out of the question — it could still be possible (reusing the retwt format, just like twitter!) but i’m not convinced it’s worth it at that point
is any of this in the spirit of twtxt? no, not in the slightest, lmao
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hahaha very rarely!!! it wasn’t quite a sky scraper, just a few floors up, but my perspective may be skewed because i’m used to high buildings :P
@movq@www.uninformativ.de you got this!!!!!
Lol, what an ending! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylHq9QUOUW4
More stuff!

@zvava@twtxt.net The features are coming together, this is great!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Somebody knew what he was doing, great shots! Also, quite interesting to see the color and brightness change.
I have a feeling that learning to play electric double bass through an amplifier was a big mistake.
At the core, this is an acoustic instrument. If you play it through an amp, you will instinctively only do the bare minimum to get some sound going, because the amp does the heavy lifting. But it’s just not right.
This is a very physical instrument. It needs a lot of force and strength – in comparison, an electric bass guitar is almost flimsy and delicate. I need to “feel” what’s going on and that’s just not the case when using headphones.
I feel like I wasted ~3 years. 🫤 But maybe it’ll get better from now on …
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz How often have you been up top a sky scraper roof so far?
Made this a few weeks ago, just listened to it again and I quite like it:
https://www.uninformativ.de/music/2025-1-ebow/Fog.ogg
This is just one instrument: Electric bass guitar + EBow. And echo/delay on top. But it’s a single track, single take. It amazes me quite a bit how much you can do with that little thing. 🤯
@dce@hashnix.club I’ve never heard of weirdcore before, but it’s kind of intriguing. 😃
@dce@hashnix.club The difference in brightness is pretty big. When the Moon is completely inside of the Earth’s shadow, you can see the red tint:
As soon as direct sunlight returns, even just a little bit, the Moon looks mostly normal again.
Yeah, it’s probably overkill. 🙈
Oops, maybe I should have posted a reminder. 🥴
@dce@hashnix.club By the time you posted your twt, the red phase was already over. 🙈 Stellarium has a pretty good simulation of the whole thing.
@zvava@twtxt.net wow, this is a full change, and looking very, very, very good! I am ready to test it. 🙈
Novidade no #Python 3.14 muito bem explicada pelo animado @mathsppblog@mathsppblog !
search page, bookmarks page, improved thread view (that i will probably improve further), as well as a logo and a whole ui redesign. it is truly all coming together…were i to mark any items off the roadmap :p
@Introscopia@Introscopia a entrevista com o educador convidado que fez o vídeo é bem legal também https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEeM2ABUMoo
free me from the hell of not knowing how to design a website
i love htmx i just need to find somewhere to use it
@movq@www.uninformativ.de THESE ARE SO COOL OMG
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah i made it to the front bc i got there early!!! i was so happy :‘) the rooftop was such a vibe too
rilo kiley are the best <3
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com that’s so cool!!!
