@bender@twtxt.net I barely used it myself, I get why we built it (link verification), but I’d rather just keep the other feature that strips tracking params on links.

@bender@twtxt.net Bahahahahaha

@bender@twtxt.net My apologies 😅 I was just being “human” and saying “over there @aelaraji@aelaraji.com said this” 🤣

M5Stack Introduces LLM Module for Offline AI Applications

This product is described as targeting offline applications such as smart homes, voice assistants, and industrial control. The AX630C SoC appears to include dual-core Arm A53 processors clocked at 1.2GHz, along

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I might just remove this feature entirely. What do you think? The link verification think that is.

@bender@twtxt.net Here #sgvko5a 😁

@thecanine@twtxt.net Uggh no, that’s not right. That seems like a bug with the external ink verification feature. Can you go into your Settings and turn that off and try again? 🙏

Tried migrating to jenny… So seems it not suitable for my phone. Fetch command fetched archived feeds so i have 37k+ entries and mutt hangs for several seconds for loading this. Also i don’t like hardcoded paths for config and follow file

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you! 🙏 I’ll see about fixing this. If you can submit a PR maybe that would be good! 👍

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks 🙏

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Okay you are right. I’m not being very specific, but intentionally very broad and my statement is generalized that’s true. There are so many examples and issues to talk about, if we did, we’d be here a while 😅 Let’s just agree that we both agree on extremism not really being a good thing and leave it at that 🤣

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl It currently takes my yarnd pod here around ~2m on average to fetch, process and cache ~700 feeds.

As @aelaraji@aelaraji.com points out, this @<bender bender@twtxt.net> is currently wrong. The 2nd part of a mention is currently required to be a full absolute URI.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl Here you go:

  "twter": {
    "nick": "Codebuzz",
    "uri": "https://www.codebuzz.nl/twtxt.txt",

  },
  "text": "(#q5rg3ea) Hey, @<bender bender@twtxt.net> I know. Just wondering the kind of apps or software and how you all stay up to date in conversations. Is it through webmentions?",

@thecanine@twtxt.net It works. What’s this pop up you’re seeing?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I didn’t look, so that’s why it’s not rendering because it’s not an actual URL.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats, this is cool! :-) When I returned yesterday, I saw also a bunch of those.

@bender@twtxt.net That mention looks like @<bender bender@twtxt.net> on my side …

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net have the Invidious instances (alternative front-end to the platform) stop working? Otherwise, I have just figured my way around navigating PeerTube content and I wouldn’t even miss it if YT had to disappear from the internet.

Lots of tricksters at my door tonight! Happy Halloween.

Wouldn’t you rather have work and private seperated? Any thought behind this decission? I like tags, like Gmail does it. I still think mail needs a big rethink. It’s too prominent in life, to be this archaic.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m grateful for this accident. I find browsing twtxt.net useful even though I don’t have an account there. I do it when I can’t use Jenny because I only have my phone, or if I want to see messages I might have missed. I know it’s not guaranteed to catch everything, but it’s pretty good, even if it’s not intentional.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I use Jenny to add to a local copy of my twtxt.txt file, and then manually push it to my web servers. I prefer timestamps to end with “Z” rather than “+00:00” so I modified Jenny to use that format. I mostly follow conversations using Jenny, but sometimes I check twtxt.net, which could catch twts I missed.

Happy Halloween! I am enjoying my pumpkin spice latte.

Am I being daft, or the only way to download #firefox for #android (without using Google Play) is by giving @mozilla@mozilla an e-mail address to which they will send a download link?

Presidente da #Geórgia denuncia uso de sistema russo para fraude das eleições

Segundo Zourabichvili, a fraude envolveu nomeadamente o #votoeletrónico, utilizado pela primeira vez na Geórgia durante as eleições de sábado passado, que permitiu que o mesmo número de bilhete de identidade correspondesse a “17 votos, 20 votos, em regiões diferentes”.

Time to catch up with the news

Can you use IRC with ssl?

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org The reason I ask is that I maintain the Twtxt search engine and crawler service that basically does exactly this, so I’m curious what you’re trying to solve by doing this yourself? Not that that’s a bad idea. I just want to understand what you are trying to achieve. 🤗

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org OK fine to be more specific. The problem I have with both religion and politics is they both often influence people or groups of people to either extremes.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org I agree religion in and of itself is about as bad as politics in my view.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org This is largely by accident and not on purpose:

Lately I’ve been browsing twtxt.net since they aggregate most of the known network

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org what problem does building a social graph solve?

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Just talking about regular mentions here.

i’m so glad i gave up christianity. i might be a little less glad when i get purged, but at least i won’t be doing the purging. jesus of nazareth has some chill teachings, but the whole thing is poisoned by the actual history of the religion. genocide, book burnings, and ethnic cleansing are not exactly noble teachings.

due to the gemini-centric nature of my setup, I don’t get webmentions. I just scrape the network and grep. maybe my aggregator will produce notifications at some point lol

@codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I have some shell scripts that handle some of the log formatting details, but I mostly write my mesages by hand. Lately I’ve been browsing twtxt.net since they aggregate most of the known network. I have a couple of demo aggregators sitting around, but I’m in the middle of some infra rebuilds so a lot of my services are offline rn. They’re both built on a simple social graph analysis that extracts urls for your direct follows the follows listed on each of those feeds (friend-of-a-friend replication). certain formatting operations are awkward with my setup, so I may write an app of some kind in the future. likely gemini-based, but I have a number of projects ahead of that one in the queue.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl how did you end up with a broken incomplete mention here? 🤔

Alternatively, if you prefer yarnd to pretty-print all twts nicely, even ones from simpler clients, that’s fine too and you don’t need to change anything. My ¼ -> ¼ thing is nothing more than a minor irritation which probably isn’t worth overthinking.

Yeah I’ve closed the PR, I just wanted to write it up and see what we all thought. Much easier to talk to a concrete spec proposal sometimes. I realised as I was writing it too that it wasn’t really going to achieve much in practise. I think we all agree 👍

What’s wrong with my original suggestion of doing the transformation before the text hits the twtxt.txt file? @prologic, I think it would achieve what you are trying to achieve with this content-type thing: if someone writes ¼ on a yarnd instance or any other client that wants to do this, it would get transformed, and other clients simply wouldn’t do the transformation. Every client that supports displaying unicode characters, including Jenny, would then display ¼ as ¼.

So many clients do client-side transformation already, mostly in the form of @-mentions. e.g: If I @falsifian@www.falsifian.org mention you, that gets transformed into the full proper Twtxt mention syntax. We could in theory transform other things too, but I see little value in doing so? 🤔 – Also it’s probably more a “Client” recommendation anyway at that point right?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Only that this rendering behavior comes from yarnd’s Markdown parser library that is used:

What has text/markdown got to do with this? I don’t think Markdown says anything about replacing ¼ with ¼, or other similar transformations. It’s not needed, because ¼ is already a unicode character that can simply be directly inserted into the text file.

Closed

@david@collantes.us On it! 🤣

@david@collantes.us Bahahahahaha 🤣

No apology necessary. I think it brings little to no value.

@david@collantes.us Juat buy it 🤣🧐

Hey, @ I know. Just wondering the kind of apps or software and how you all stay up to date in conversations. Is it through webmentions?

@david@collantes.us How much of a computer does it have to be? Would a ZimaBoard do the trick? I don’t have a wife, so I wouldn’t know any better 😅

How about storing the contents of the twtxt.txt file in TXT DNS records? :-P Like so:

dig +short txt poem.netbros.com | sed 's/[\" ]//g' | base64 -d

@prologic@twtxt.net shut that down, man! I’ll give you a nickel for it! 🤭

So, we need a computer for house (that is, wife and I) usage. We have none, we rely on our pocket computers. I would like to fill the void with the recently announced Mac mini. What technique could I use with an already stressed out wife, to accomplish this goal? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I try to avoid editing. I guess I would write 5/4, 6/4, etc, and hopefully my audience would be sympathetic to my failing.

Anyway, I don’t think my eccentric decision to number my twts in the style of other social media platforms is the only context where someone might write ¼ not meaning a quarter. E.g. January 4, to Americans.

I’m happy to keep overthinking this for as long as you are :-P

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I’m not exactly asking yarnd to change. If you are okay with the way it displayed my twts, then by all means, leave it as is. I hope you won’t mind if I continue to write things like 1/4 to mean “first out of four”.

What has text/markdown got to do with this? I don’t think Markdown says anything about replacing 1/4 with ¼, or other similar transformations. It’s not needed, because ¼ is already a unicode character that can simply be directly inserted into the text file.

So I am really curious, now that I am building upon @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s Timeline app, how other users write/add their twtxt, and how you follow conversations. Comment svp!

Spent some time cleaning up my AoC code to get ready for December 1st. Anyone else doing it this year? @prologic@twtxt.net we have to setup a new team each year?

@bender@twtxt.net The only changes I can foresee are really to yarnd. As no other client I’m aware of really cares aall that much. 🤣 It’s only in an attempt to solve this. No I’m not sure about this 🤣

@asquare@asquare.srht.site No worries 😌

@asquare@asquare.srht.site I’m not really sure I understand sorry. Can you explain it like I’m 5? 😅

👋 PR to propose Feed Format Extension – Request for comment 🙏

@asquare@asquare.srht.site No it will not, because it needs to find the root twt. Doing so with a O(1) time complexity is far better than the alternative.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site Why “frightening”? And what does “protocol ossification” mean? Hmm 🧐

Oh, wow. That is a frightening level of protocol ossification.

Windows 95 runs faster on my powerful computer with 48 MB of RAM

Moved my email back into a single ‘inbox’ folder instead of trying to keep everything organised in sub-folders. Using Vivaldi’s labels instead for organising the messages. Makes sense because I sometimes had trouble if a message needed to be in multiple boxes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool! Literally 🥶 When do you expect leaves to be falling from trees? 🤔

I think realistically the only way to resolve this is to formally support and define a specification for feed formats. The available mime types lists two formats that I think are important here. text/plain and text/markdown. I believe a specification that defines and formalizes this so that a feed author can state in their feed that their feed is primarily text/plain or text/markdown or via HTTP headers (not mandatory) will work here. I also think it might be worthwhile niversing this and defaulting to text/plain (by design and by default, spec TBD) and then clients like yanrd can just be updated to declare text/markdown.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com No need to be sorry 🤗

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Really?! And we expected what to happen exactly? 🤔

I installed GrapheneOS for the first time on Wednesday last week on a used Pixel 7a, and I’m impressed. Installation was almost seamless, and I was able to do it from another Android phone. I’ve run into very few wrinkles, even using Google’s proprietary apps with GrapheneOS’s “sandboxed” version of Google Play Services. The main problems I’ve noticed: I can’t cast, and Google Timeline doesn’t seem to work (though I imagine the intersection between people keen to use GrapheneOS and keen to have Google log their location history is pretty small).

@thecanine@twtxt.net this is really fucked up! Do you have other examples? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no No worries 🤗 Last Sat of every month 🤞

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no This seems cool hmmm 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not a yarnd user, so it doesn’t matter a whole lot to me, but FWIW I’m not especially keen on changing how I format my twts to work around yarnd’s quirks.

I wonder if this kind of postprocessing would fit better between composing (via yarnd’s UI) and publishing. So, if a yarnd user types ¼, it could get changed to ¼ in the twtxt.txt file for everyone to see, not just people reading through yarnd. But when I type ¼, meaning first out of four, as a non-yarnd user, the meaning wouldn’t get corrupted. I can always type ¼ directly if that’s what I really intend.

(This twt might be easier to understand if you read it without any transformations :-P)

Anyway, again, I’m not a yarnd user, so do what you will, just know you might not be seeing exactly what I meant.

I’m annoyed with python’s writexml.

Maybe I should file a bug, but I’m not sure I’m willing to dive into that rabbit whole.
