In-reply-to » On things you don't need to know but I'm going to tell anyway, I'm a bit sad b/c our current income is not enough to buy the house šŸ  my wife (and I) desire.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net 450k-720k USD? Sounds to me like a big number!
A decent house here is about 50k-100k. With 500k you can get a small mansion in important cities.

Also, the average wage in my country is about 500-1,000 USD/month, so I guess itā€™s a matter of numbers. Thanks for sharing, it gives me perspective.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net #forTheRecore there is no Mexican Halloween šŸŽƒ
But the Day of the Dead (Nov 2nd) is pretty cool (as you can see in the Coco movie)

Talking about the food, yep, it something you miss being in Europe, although I found a few nice places there.

I friend send us this img, itā€™s a peculiar tradition of cooking for your dear dead relative, friend or celebrity

Worms 2 was released a quarter of century ago. A game Iā€™ve played countless hours, many of them with a Moonspell CD on the drive, which would make the game play songs from it (specially ā€œOpiumā€).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I like to have separate devices for each activity. That way a can switch more easily of context and stop working when I should be doing something else

That said, currently I only have a single ā€˜decentā€™ laptop PC that I use for everythingā€¦ At least I have 2 phones, one for work, and another for personal life šŸ¤”

I was inclined to let this go so as not to stir anything up, but after some additional thought Iā€™ve decided to call it out. This twt:

is exactly the kind of ad hominem garbage I came to expect from Twitterā„¢, and Iā€™m disappointed to see it replicated here. Rummaging through someoneā€™s background trying to find a ā€œgotchaā€ argument to take credibility away from what a person is saying, instead of engaging the ideas directly, is what trolls and bad faith actors do. Thatā€™s what the twt above does (falsely, I might addā€“whatā€™s being claimed is untrue).

If you take issue with something Iā€™ve said, you can mute me, unfollow me, ignore me, use TamperMonkey to turn all my twts into gibberish, engage the ideas directly, etc etc etc. There are plenty of options to make what I said go away. Reading through my links, reading about my organizationā€™s CEOā€™s background, and trying to use that against me somehow (after misinterpreting it no less)? Besides being unacceptable in a rational discussion, and besides being completely ineffective in stopping me from expressing whatever it is you didnā€™t like, itā€™s creepy. Donā€™t do that.

In-reply-to » Speaking of DST, it appears Mexico will abolish it?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de and yeah, the current administration (leftist populist) is proposing half-baked laws for everything. Soā€¦ What can I say?

My state is in the border but my city donā€™t. So itā€™s gonna be a mess if I have to work with friends close to the border. There isnā€™t even a Mexican Timezone for them, so Iā€™ll have to pick one from USA.

Basically this current map is gonna change completelyā€¦ With 2 days notice

In-reply-to » Goryon feature requests! - edit - some kind of "you've read up to here" marker - hide the conversation hash and show some way to get to the yarn

@prologic@twtxt.net Got it!
I thought you were saying this one:

Hmmm, good question. Iā€™m aware the hash is part of the twt, but it can be hidden in the App for readability (Iā€™m thinking of a RegEx or something simpler). How would it be if you hide it on the API? šŸ¤”

@prologic@twtxt.net Hehe, Iā€™m temporarily using Edge as the Windowsā€™ Safari, while I finish my transition to Firefox, so what can I say? šŸ˜…

BTW, itā€™s also happening with Iridium 2022.04 so I think the problem could happen with all the Chromium-based browsers

@prologic@twtxt.net So I did something else with the Setting page: I added tabs, which mean that I got some new issues with <form action="/settings" ... > since it now split into three.

I got it working now by using id=updateSettings in an empty form at the top, and then adding form=ā€œupdateSettingsā€ to all the now orphaned inputs etc., but now the existing settings are not loaded into the form elements, as you can see on the radio buttons in the screenshots.

Anyhow have a go at in the new settings_with_tabs branch :)

Just came accross the #storyofthehashtag at: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/09/how-chris-messina-got-twitter-to-use-the-hashtag.html

So right now we donā€™t see an lot of use af #tags here on yarn/twtxt. I believe itā€™s because it not very useful atm. You can put in hashtags in your post, but there are no way of discovering other tags or see posts and treads with a tag.

I like what Scuttlebutt do, when they turn the hashtags (back) into channels:

And with the new search #comingsoon I believe we can have something similar

@prologic@twtxt.net Okay so I noticed some issues looking at the working almond theme:

  • the --accent-bg is too light compared to the all #000 background, so I would suggest that it will turned down to something like #111 and maybe also the border color to #333

  • It seem that I have not styled the new in-reply-to multiline design to look right with Compact View turned on, so that will go on my todo-listā€¦

  • My hack to use --code for coloring the icons does not really make sense, when you go a make them the same color as --accent, so I think i will make a new --icon css var, which I been planing to anyhow

In-reply-to » (#qgqxkpq) @prologic I donā€™t have the best experience with WebKit, at least not with WebKit2GTK on Linux. MacOS might be different, I donā€™t know. But on Linux, WebKit2GTK is always lightyears behind Firefox/Chromium in terms of ā€¦ everything. Thatā€™s my experience with running WebKit2GTK browsers for well over a decade (luakit, uzbl, dwb, whatever). I even made my own browser at some point, but I recently basically decided to give up on it and go back to Firefox.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I donā€™t disagree, in fact, families are my favourite community right now (perhaps Iā€™m lucky for that).

That said, it has been difficult to work with my family. When you involve money into a family problems appear.

There is even this meme
