@aelaraji@aelaraji.com let me come to the defence of Aelaraji here, and make clear that they are not a “piece of shit”! 😊

@prologic@twtxt.net I wrote ¼ (one slash four) by which I meant “the first out of four”. twtxt.net is showing it as ¼, a single character that IMO doesn’t have that same meaning (it means 0.25). Similarly, ¾ got replaced with ¾ in another twt. It’s not a big deal. It just looks a little wrong, especially beside the 2/4 and 4/4 in my other two twts.

(I screwed up the commit message and force-pushed a fix after checking the web server logs. I hope I didn’t break anybody’s repo. 😂)

This should be fixed in Git. ✅

Hah 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Alrighty, I replaced the links in the jenny repo. 👍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Guilty as charged. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh thanks! 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep, looks alright. I just amended two typos: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/3

Absolutely, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Unless somebody decides to change nicknames (which happened before).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com It even shows up here too 😅 44 feeds you follow, nice 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ll merge it then 👌

👋 FYI: I’ve put in place 301 Moved Permanently redirect(s) for https://dev.twtxt.net/ and all relevant pages to the new domain https://twtxt.dev 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net LGTM. 👍

@bender@twtxt.net Right, so a “Cool Domain” is just a URI in your Domain space that you control and maintain stability. As you control the Domain Space, you can keep URI(s) stable even in the face of change. Okay.

But what I don’t get is @asquare ’s comment:

Imposing a norm that you can’t just use any ol’ url, looking down on people

@asquare Who’s imposing this and “looking down”? If you got that impression from me, that was not my intent. I’m merely pointing out the problem we have, nothing more. We need to solve for that.

@prologic@twtxt.net https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

@asquare@asquare.srht.site What do you mean by “Cool URLs”?

Yup that’s right.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org How so? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net One could argue twtxt.net’s display formatting is a little over-eager here.

Inversion by Aric McBay was another random library pick. Like The Fall of Io, it’s the most recent in a series, though I think this series is pretty loosely connected. In contrast, the villain in this book is simple and cartoonishly evil. The book presents a design for utopia which was interesting but a little cloying. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to want to live there, but I don’t think I do. I enjoyed the book as easy reading, and might try the others in the series some time. (4/4)

I read Starter Villain by John Scalzi. Enjoyable, like his other books that I’ve read. Somewhat sillier. (¾)

I’m enjoying Wesley Chu’s Tao and Io series. Spies, action, ancient aliens. Some funny parts, some interesting world-building parts, some action-filled parts. I picked up The Fall of Io at random from a library a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be the last in a series of six (technically two series), so after finishing that I read the first and am partway through the second. Usually I try to read series in order, but this way is interesting. One thing I liked about The Fall of Io was that it it followed many points of view with somewhat conflicting interests, some more evil than others, and I felt sympathy for most of them. (I was kind of hoping it would be about Jupiter’s moon Io, but it wasn’t, but I’m satisfied with what I ended up with.) (2/4)

Recent #scifi #reading: (¼)

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I really like this idea of just using the Feed’s # nick as a sort of “identifier”. This gets us out of this mess of when feeds move locations or authors decide to host on 3 or 4 different protocols 🤣 Downside? Something picks the same nick? (they’ll still hash differently, so that’s fine).

Haha, 13 years later I got the response that my reported bug in GNAT (GNU Ada compiler) had been fixed a long time ago: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50263

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org not sure that really applies strictly in a purely decentakised system? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Cominf yo yhe call? 🤔🤗

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

@xuu Thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net that should be right

@rodolpho@twtxt.rodolpho.onoeck.com.br Hey 👋

I think it uses the first # url too. See here and here – @xuu Can you confirm this to be the case? 🙏 GetN("url", 0) will return the first found # url comment right?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No I’m just frustrated 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I will check when I get home 😅

That’s very sad… Btw twtxt is more hardly to spam because of bad discovery. So you can only spam to your followers. Did you really want abandon best method of microblogging?

@prologic@twtxt.net I haven’t changed anything, either. 😅 jenny uses the first URL: https://www.uninformativ.de/git/jenny/file/jenny.html#l191

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes. 😅

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net Very nice 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only because I build and maintain additional services right? 🤔

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net That’s mixh better 🥳

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net Thays mixh better 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm now I’m confused 😅 I’ve made no changes anywhere – we still need to all agree, especially client authors and maintainers 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, yeah, it certainly is more work for you than it is for me. 🫤

@prologic@twtxt.net As per https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/metadataextension.html, it’s the first URL. 😅 I think using the last URL was one of the new proposals. Or has that already been implemented? 🤯
