I thought I lost one of my knives at the flea market this year, but luckily, I just found it in my washbag. Woohoo, yippee! :-) So, I only miss the other that must have fallen out of my pocket when I cycled to the scouts last month.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net seriously who the fuck is asking for this shit?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, remebering them is a challenge. It often helped me in the past to just try using one or two new commands over and over again. But that obviously doesn’t work that well when the specialized command does not come up in daily routines all that often.

Sam Altman’s Worldcoin Rebrands As ‘World,’ Unveils Next Generation Orb
The blockchain-based identity verification company founded by Sam Altman is now called “World.” It also unveiled a new version of the “Orb” biometric devices the company uses to scan users’ eyes. CoinTelegraph reports: World, as it’s now known, also revealed a slew of other updates including a new version of its Orb biometric scanning device … ⌘ Read more

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net WHO does Tim Cook think he is anyway?! 🤦‍♂️

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Noice 👌

Trump Says Tim Cook Called Him To Complain About the EU
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Donald Trump said Apple CEO Tim Cook called him to discuss the billions of dollars that Apple has been fined in the European Union. Trump made the statement during his appearance on the PBD Podcast – and said that he won’t let the EU “take advantage” of US companies like Apple if reelected. “Two hours ago, thre … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure!! gg=G auto-indents your documents, as for the rest it’s:

• v for selection mode, c for change and d for delete actions as usual.
  
• followed by either ‘afor around ori` for inside/in-between whatever special character comes after it
  _ the [, (, “ … special characters define the perimeter/extent of the action.
  

i.e: ci" would be change the text under the cursor between quotes and da[ _delete text and brackets included_

I’ve linked a reference in the first twt, hope you find it useful.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com And pray tell/share with us what these magical commands do? 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah, that’s the thing! I’ve been trying to learn more vim motions and I just can’t get myself to remember any… Now I have that cheat sheet bookmarked, I can look them up on the need to know basis.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I watched it the other day, it’s pretty neat! do you have more of these?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice tricks, ta! I actually came across di{ some time ago but entirely forgot about it.

Learned to gg=G and to va", ci", di{… in vim the other day 😆 Life will never be the same, I can feel it. ref

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hahaha. :-D I saw some TLS errors today when fetching your feed. Welcome back. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net A 15-year-old reported a security vulnerability in some shitware and they acted like absolute dickheads. Unfortunately, that’s how it often goes. The internet is full of similar reports where people a treated like that by companies, sometimes even way worse than that.

Read it, prologic, it’s totally worth it. That’s a great writeup by some very cool dude.

The PR article by the company just speaks for itself and reinforces their dick move. No more questions. https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/8187090244506-Email-user-verification-bug-bounty-report-retrospective

@bender@twtxt.net 🤣

My To Learn list is getting bigger and bigger, ADHD is looking at me funny. 😅
/ME screaming at the mirror: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT LIKE THAT!!? DO YOU WANT!?

Need more peeps in my clan. Anyone around playing Diablo IV? 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de so, you keep lots of monologues. That’s the best “conversation” to keep! LOL.

Does they send voice messages?

(Another weird/funny thing is that I tend to “overload” other people on WhatsApp. I use it on the desktop with a proper keyboard, while they all use cell phones. The end result is me being able to type much more text and much faster, so they all fall behind and can’t really reply properly, because it’s such a huge pain to type on a phone …)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Zendesk behaved like total arses on this one. At least that’s what comes across reading one side of the story.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What do you love about this gist?

Haha, I love it! https://gist.github.com/hackermondev/68ec8ed145fcee49d2f5e2b9d2cf2e52

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Never ever heard of that. Does this really exist? 🤔

Btw what about third-party chats support in WhatsApp? Iirc this feature only available in Europe

@bender@twtxt.net It’s really popular among the general population, yeah. But luckily no official services (like government stuff or doctors) depend on it – yet.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de while on the topic of WhatsApp, Europe is pretty reliant on it, isn’t it? Myself, in the US, exclusively use Messages (a vanilla iOS application) for 99% of my messaging needs. Only have WhatsApp… (what a shocker!) for my European family, and handful of friends. 🥴

There’s this rumor that you can create a WhatsApp account with a burner phone, then link the phone to a browser on your desktop PC (web.whatsapp.com) and never have to use the phone again. This just doesn’t work. Every ~2 weeks, the session in the browser will time out and you have to re-link again. 🙄

@xuu Seems pretty cool 👌

This is pretty neat! An IP KVM that doesn’t cost a gagillion dollars. I might just back it. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jetkvm/jetkvm

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just some rubbish trashy youtube videos on stupid crap I don’t believe in 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net What happened now? 🥴

@bender@twtxt.net No no, I’m quite sane 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net and us with it. :-P

The world has gone mad.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I noticed that earlier, and forgot 😅 That explains everything now 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net They’re using Gemini, maybe that’s why?

@asquare@asquare.srht.site And actually…

does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member

What is true here is if someone visits your “profile” on a pod whilst logged, it, yes yarnd fetches it in the background if it wasn’t already cached, as a “once off”. This is true.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site By the way… It might be nice to set yourself up with an Avatar 👌

@asquare@asquare.srht.site I see your reply now that I’m following you 🤣 The commit you’re ferring to btw is for WebMentions, which has little practical value IMO, it works but is rarely useful 😅

@asquare@asquare.srht.site Welcome to Twtxt 🤣 Discovery definately does work, but it also helps if you use a client that publicises your user-agent or you turn it on 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh yes, that is probably the case 🤣 To be fair I don’t think too much about how things enter my cache, I just assume it’s either someone on my pod following them or whatever.

I didn’t follow at first because:

asquare may not follow you

Which probably means @asquare is probably using a client that doesn’t publicise its user agent or has it turned off? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Apparently not. 🥴

This is the twt of @asquare@asquare.srht.site I’m referring to:

(#4w3ilsa) @prologic@twtxt.net Actually, my twts from the last two days aren’t showing up on , so I guess that no-one is following me and the reason my earlier twts did show up is that yarnd does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member. Comments in the code suggest that this is the case, see internal/server.go, commit 7dcec70e, line 468. As the author of that code, can you confirm/deny?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de eh? 🤔

@asquare@asquare.srht.site (I wonder if that will ever show up without me mentioning you. 😅)
