@prologic@twtxt.net Nice. I hope he likes it.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Ubuntu
@prologic@twtxt.net What does he use now?
@mckinley@twtxt.net Agreed. I’m just glad my dad has finally gotten out of the Windows ecosystem 😅
@sorenpeter@darch.dk a poem about me giving Odo a free bucket:
A glint in his eye, a sly, Ferengi grin,
Quark crossed the promenade, a curious thing within.
No jeweled trinket, no weapon so grand,
But a simple pail held tight in his hand.Odo, the Constable, with a brow raised high,
“A bucket, Quark? What trickery do you try?”
The Ferengi huckster, with a salesman’s flair,
“A gift, my friend, a constable’s rare!”“For those late-night spills, a morphing mishap,
This bucket, dear Odo, will catch every scrap.
And should a suspect turn to goop and flee,
This pail’s the answer, a guarantor, you see!”Odo’s lips twitched, a hint of a smile,
At Quark’s twisted logic, his mercantile style.
“Perhaps,” he conceded, the bucket held tight,
“A useful addition, in the pursuit of right.”So Quark made his sale, with a wink and a nod,
A bucket for Odo, a Ferengi oddity, odd.
But on Deep Space Nine, where chaos takes hold,
Even a pail can be worth more than gold.
About the account, thanks, but I already have way too many. :-D
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Done
you need to send an email @quark@ferengi.one if you want an account. I know that it might not be very profitable. Maybe Odo can disclose it if I give him a new bucket.
@mckinley@twtxt.net I’m over here now. And yes I can send a PR to repo or your are welcome to add it. Credits also to @eapl.me@eapl.me for making a working yarn compatible parser.
@mckinley@twtxt.net I haven’t touched PHP for years. I am not about to dirty my hands now. It looks… decent. ;-)
@bender@anthony.buc.ci Check out https://darch.dk/timeline/, it’s an honest-to-goodness Yarn-like Web UI. Very impressive, @darch@neotxt.dk. Do you want it listed on groovy-twtxt?
@bender@twtxt.net ha! He goes his “poem”:
A string of letters, a forgotten name,
An email crafted, a message to claim.
We hit send with a click, a hopeful sigh,
But a bounce-back arrives, a tear in our eye.“Delivery failed,” the message reads cold,
The address it seems, is a story untold.
A ghost in the system, a memory’s trace,
Lost in the void of cyberspace.
:-D
I do see you @bender@twtxt.net and I fixed the email routing now. Please try to resubmit your poem.
He will not see this, so it seems. That twt was pretty much a telegram, without sender address. LOL.
Break a leg! Below a proof that no start goes always smooth:

@mckinley@twtxt.net Nice one. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net You’re right, but they’re not going to stop until people vote with their wallets.
@bender@twtxt.net I’m not suggesting that people should use an old Windows version to avoid this. I’m saying that Windows in general should be considered a legacy operating system, and continued usage will only make you subject to more of this tracking and unnecessary garbage.
In other words, the situation will never improve. It will only get worse from here, so you might as well get out now while there are still plenty of life boats. Otherwise, when they do something that’s really over the line, you either have to go along with it or dive right into the cold ocean.
Windows is only kept alive at this point by a lack of knowledge about the alternatives, apathy, fear, and some enterprise software and games with support in Wine improving by the day.
I’m closing down neotxt.dk as a yarn pod. It will instead offer hosting of timeline or what ever other php stuff you want to run. To get started send me a poem to poem@neotxt.dk
@mckinley@twtxt.net which one would you call a legacy operating system? If referring to a previous Microsoft Windows OS, it will not be legacy for long. Granted, it might during our lifetime, but I tend to look (and often worry) a bit further.
This whole “data commodity” has gone too far.
