@aelaraji@aelaraji.com To be honest I thought the same too, I felt as though you were being a bit too harsh on yourself 😅 Chill 🤗
@bender@twtxt.net True, I’m just not sure we can have it both way? 🤔 I can turn smartypants off, but I do seem to recall you wanted it on 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Oh yeah, cool, thanks! Wow, the number of strings picked up a lot over time.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the name of the instrument is Guzheng. She is amazing, wow! @movq@www.uninformativ.de, she never shows her face, it is her artist’s “signature” behaviour.
@prologic@twtxt.net right, but that uses code/pre. Don’t get me wrong, whatever works, it works.
@bender@twtxt.net Hehe! I’m flattered.
@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I agree. At the end of the day it’s just a text file served by some means, we should get more upset by crawlers that don’t respect our robots.tzt rules 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oof! That’s impressive. (And what an interesting mask that is.)
That harp (or whatever you wanna call this instrument) playing is very fascinating to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=564u39PJfUI
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org hmm, Smartypants does that. I am not sure there is a way to escape it. One could write “1 of 4”, or 1 / 4 (not sure how this last will render).
@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. ✅
# 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).
Hah 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool 👌

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

@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).
V: pattern itself is quite good because you can do quite a lot of powerful things with selected text.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com It even shows up here too 😅 44 feeds you follow, nice 👍

@prologic@twtxt.net Just gave this one a try to update my twtxt.txt file with a proper # follow = ... list! 🙏
@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. 👍
Feeling suspicious about a little something and I, don’t like it -the feeling- a bit. Maybe I’m just being paranoid… but most probably I’m just being an ignorant judgemental piece of shit and I hate myself for it already.
tw.txt file wherever". The essence of micro-blogging, as opposed to full-scale blogging, is low friction and low stakes. Imposing a norm that you can't just use any ol' url, looking down on people with insufficently cool urls (as in "Cool URIs don't change" https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI), puts up too much of a barrier to entry.
@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.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site What do you mean by “Cool URLs”?
IMHO, the original spec had it right when it said (paraphrased) “just upload your tw.txt file wherever”.

Yup that’s right.
@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)
@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? 🤔
the test would be: how often does unwanted content get pushed on your feed? do incongruent posters easily disrupt harmonious connections? &c. less about the community, more about how the social dynamics play out as various groups and individuals interact.
The call is on! Come join us!
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Cominf yo yhe call? 🤔🤗
Hope you all enjoy the weekend!
