Trying to change my site a bit and needed a more cartoony sitting canine for it.

@david@daiwei.me No worries 😌

@david@daiwei.me ping me on IRC when you have a couple of spare hours 👌

@david@daiwei.me I think to @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s point, we should probably just test teh specification itself no? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I plan to oj ly projects 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I kind of do need a couple of folk to test things with 👌– But i need to do some more testing myself first 😅

Not super happy with today’s result, but it is what it is. #FrakturFreitag

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. I’d have to see this in action. 🤔

By industry i assume you both mean IT?

What’s going on in your neck of the woods (planet) 🧐

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com How about you? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Doing okay 👌 Looking forward to my month off!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh, no you can. Much like what we’ve built here with Twtxt / Yarn. I’m building a spec, clients can implement the spec, or you can ya know, just curl and git your way through. I’ll link the spec soon™, just need to keep refining and testing and make sure this actually works properly 😅

Me sinto muito burro toda vez que tenho que tomar remédios de 8 em 8 horas, tentando fazer as contas pra ver os horários.

Acabo chegando em geral em 8h, 16h e meia-noite ou 6h, 14h e 22h mas sempre me atrapalho muito.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, so I can’t send you a patch / PR unless I host gitxt myself?

gitxt is a purely decentralised git forge. There is no federation protocol, no instance-to-instance API, no accounts on other people’s servers. Each forge instance is fully independent; collaboration is an act of publishing and reading plain text files over HTTP

@fossham@twtpub.com I honestly think the most unique and interesting thing about doing this at all is that it is in fact inspired directly by Twtxt / Yarn.social itself – That is to say, I am confident I can do this in such a way as to be “truly decentralised”, no inter-networking like ActivityPub, no centraised forges like Github or Codeberg. You run your instance, I run mine, we just are able to collaborate. Think exchanging patches over Email, just without all the hard-to-learn ways to do that (enough though it’s not hard for some of us, but still).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So the way this works in my design/prototype is this. You fork my repo in the app, it clones it to your own forge, follows my instance and it’s repo for updates and ping my instance to indicate “you’ve forked me”. Then when you publish changes, I can see them by pulling your instance’s feed. It all works on the same plain text principles of Tstxt itself. The feeds are “pull”-based with push-based “pings” on things like “someone forked your repo”, “a new issue has been raised against your repo”, etc.

A good example of a complex use of textures with #3D in #py5!

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. 🤔

Okay, suppose you host a project using this new forge, and I want to send a pull request. What do I have to do?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What if I told you there were in fact zero account(s) at all? And that you signed into your own instance or a multi-user instance with your own SSH key? 🔑 Hmmm? 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha. 😅

I’m not really sure what you have in mind. All I can safe with relatively big confidence is that users hate having to make another account. That’s why GitHub/Codeberg are so successful: One account gives you access to millions of projects.

So, once that problem is solved, anything else will probably just fall into place … ? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de In the meantime tell me all your “wishes” and things you wish/want a good decent “pure” decentralised Git forge should do 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good 😊

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m really curious about that. 🤔🤔🤔

I am finally building a Twtxt / Yarn.social inspired Git forge. I’m actually quite confident that y’all will quite like it, but I won’t post links yet until I’m quietly confident in its design, functionality and behaviour(s).

Stay tuned 🤞 It’ll be like no other Git forge you’ve ever seen! 🤣 Actually, it’s already more like cgit than anything with plain text feeds that power it’s “pure decentralization” as you can no doubt imagine 😅 #twtxt #git #forge

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org All good 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am seriously rethinking and re-contemplating building a new Git forge of some description that avoids all of these stupid problems that we’re now seeing in the wild

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org if you’re looking for a great static site generator/publishing tool by the way have a look at my project ZS

@thecanine@twtxt.net some people in this world are just giant douche bags and complete sociopaths 🤯

Literally just a day after Elon came out with his legal threats towards all of Nitter and people like me complained about it, Open AI decides to no longer work with Cursor (acquired by Space X), explicitly saying it’s because Elon wouldn’t stop breaking their signed contracts and scraping (distilling) their models, behind their back.

https://openai.com/index/our-decision-on-cursor-following-its-acquisition-by-spacex/

This is not even the only instance of this happening, many mentioned having similar problems with Elon in the past. Not too long ago Kylie Robison shared a rumor xAI engineers were banned from using Anthropic models through Cursor, because of their scraping, though they seem to have later patched things over with Elon, when they had to start renting his data centers.

@david@daiwei.me

I wish I knew

Just give it a go. This stuff is super cheap. All you need is a “pen”, some nibs, ink, and paper. Costs like 20-30 bucks and lasts for several years. The hardest part is finding good paper, really, because most paper these days isn’t made for ink anymore. 🥴

And since social media is always only full of good results, here’s something “shitty”:

These are my first experiments in 2016 – and that’s after having practiced with a graphics tablet on a PC for a couple of weeks. 😅

FTR, I’m seeing veeeeeeeeery few actual git clone operations in the logs. Most crawlers simply don’t do that and rely on the Git history being available as HTML pages.

So that’s a win. (For now.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe I’m using the wrong term, ya know, silos and bubbles and all that 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Confirmation bias? Explain. 🤔 I mean, I know what confirmation bias is, but I don’t understand it in this context. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That depends. What do you mean by “The Internet”? 🤔 If you mean a bunch of large centralised sites where a majority of the world’s Internet traffic goes, then yeah, it’s boring as bat shit™ – Largely because of the concept (I think) of “confirmation bias”.

Is it just me or has “The Internet” become extremely boring in the last few months?

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org You should report the bug and hopefully get it fixed 🤞

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Oh this is cool! 😎 It supports all v2 specs, nice! 👍

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org I haven’t heard of that client before? 🤔 Got a link to it? screenshtos? Should I add it to the Listed Clients? 🤔

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Ahh if you’re using the ‘ol twtxt client from buckket, that thing isn’t really maintained anymore. I recommend you check out one of the clients listed on https://twtxt.dev or even just https://twtxt.app

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org What client are you using btw? 🤔 Does it support threads, and other v2 specs? 🤔

@Sumomo@sumomo.neocities.org Hello 👋

@thecanine@twtxt.net Double standards and cognitive dissonance are great, aren’t they? 🙄

thx 🥴

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Humidity was through the sky. We had two thunderstorms pass by. One at 06:00 and and another one this arvo.

Somebody hooked this presumably plastic moon on the tree bark. Not sure why or what the reason is. Let’s just call it art. It looked weird and so I thought that it might poke other people’s interests as well. Worked out great. Got another question about it, too. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Awwww, very pretty! :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Achtung, der Uplegger ist im Anmarsch! Dreht die Karten auf links! Entspannte Reise und gute Erholung! :-)

Started doing “Fraktur Freitag” last week on Mastodon, and why not post it here as well. (“Blackletter Friday”? Doesn’t work in English. 🤪)

Today is a good day. I found both my hiking trousers and explosion-safe headlamp. Both were missing for ages.

If I say companies should at least consider the 3 line CC license before scraping my sites, I’m seen as the unreasonable one.

But when I use an alternative forontend, to read feeds on their sites, without having to make yet another free account, now the same companies and their users scream about some unspecified part of their license being violated, threaten legal action and expect me to care about it.

Awful 33°C today. But I had to move, no matter what. So, I went outside. At first, the sun was out a bit. It was brutal. Later it vanished behind the clouds. But the humidity was still through the roof.

I watched the corn harvest I came across. Dusty as hell, but it was great fun observe the machineries work.

Going up my backyard mountain, there weren’t many people around. I was pleasantly surprised. However, the smaller hill below was rather crowded. Many people with picnic mats, enjoying their dinner, painting A3 love letters, claiming all available benches, taking wedding photos, walking their dogs, etc.

The public barbecue site at the summit is still closed due to the ongoing fire hazard. I found it rather funny to see a fire extinguisher ready to go next to it. The bread and cake smell disclosed that the Mountain Baking Boys were active. The large oven right next to the BBQ was still going strong.
