This whole bitcoin thing is just fucking crazy right? 🤣

Hello Twtxt!

@bender@twtxt.net It’s hard to beat iant it 😅

@bender@twtxt.net This ☝️ Especially:

It would be much more constructive to have skilled experts define what a safe social media environment for kids looks like, and implement that environment instead.

I believe the Australian social media ban for kids is an extremely limiting way of regulating human interaction.

When people are harmed in traffic, we do not ban roads. We build better roads, and introduce speed limits. But in Australia they are now removing all access to social media for children under 16 years of age.

It would be much more constructive to have skilled experts define what a safe social media environment for kids looks like, and implement that environment instead.

@prologic@twtxt.net stick to macOS. 😜

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org One person had came access it before, but no tried it

@prologic@twtxt.net Just that people thought twtxt sounded cool and maybe want to set it up themself

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool! Just curious, did you run into somebody who already heard of twtxt before? Or maybe even tried it.

Maybe realize webmention in my feed? (receiving). Sending maybe will be implemened in WIP client…

@sorenpeter@darch.dk@darch.dk What was the nature of the chats? 🤔

@eapl.mx@eapl.mx Super to see you got webmentions working too :)

EDIT: A webmention was send to: https://eapl.mx/timeline/webmention (Status: 202)

@johanbove@johanbove.info Thanks, I’m glad you like it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There was no time for discussion just after the presentation, but I had a chat with some folks later.

(The book mentions large integers in the introduction, which reminded me that I forgot to check if my target language for AoC supports 64 bits integers. 🤦 But luckily it does. That would have been a showstopper. 😅)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Neat! How was the feedback from the audience? Any interesting questions/discussions?

@prologic@twtxt.net My pleasure! glad I could help.

Thank you for spinning this up 🙇‍♂️

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice! 👌 I’ll try this in VirtualBox when I get home 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net Never seen macOS but I believe that’s a yes, just like in the second screenshot. That’s my whole screen zoomed on the cursor’s position and it keeps following.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com is it full screen zoom though like on macOS where the zoomed area follows the mouse cursor?

@prologic@twtxt.net had to get Compiz from the edge/testing repo, but I believe that you can do without it. Xfce’s default Alt+Scroll thing works out of the box.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I might consider reviving it after perfecting the twtxt search engine 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com So it all just worked?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh awesome thank you! The reason for Conpiz is that I remember it having good full screen Zoom for the vision impaired like me.

@eapl.mx@eapl.mx Esta prueba intentará mandar un Webnotification… Veamos!

xfce’s default Alt+Scroll feels more convenient and you get to zoom in as much as you want as needed before things become indistinguishable, here you can see my original cursor overlapping to magnified one (it only showed during screenshot)

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure why Compiz but here…

@quark@ferengi.one What would happen if I replayed to this twt from the future, when I’m still in it’s relative past? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Trust me, it would’ve made the world a better place.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh! I’d like to see this one too. 3:)

@Rob@jsreed5.org Hnggggg. 🙈🙈🙈

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt that’s truly amazing and unsurprisingly shocking! 😱 anyone that has an X account should immediately reconsider 🤣

Btw about social: found very interesting thing about twitter:

The legal basis that X asserts in the filing is not terribly interesting. But what is interesting is that X has decided to involve itself at all, and it highlights that you do not own your followers or your account or anything at all on corporate social media, and it also highlights the fact that Elon Musk’s X is primarily a political project he is using to boost, or stifle, specific viewpoints and help his friends. In the filing, X’s lawyers essentially say—like many other software companies, and, increasingly, device manufacturers as well—that the company’s terms of service grant X’s users a “license” to use the platform but that, ultimately, X owns all accounts on the social network and can do anything that it wants with them.

@fredg@galusik.fr Sounds legit! 👌

https://dyne.org/cjit/ That sounds good. Worth the try ! #clang

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You know I tried to build my own generic web search engine and crawler a few years back. 😅

@xuu I mean by the time you’ve read this book you’ll have completed all of Advent of Code 🤣

Can someone try Alpine Linux with XFCE and Compiz please? Show me how the full screen zoom works in 2024/2025 🙏

… it even shows @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s article from 2020 in search results

Somebody please tell me I’m gawd awfully wrong here 🤣

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net what the hell?! Google Chrome is neither a business nor a company. I mean, I agree that Google should probably be broken up but what the fuck is this got to do with Google Chrome, which is based on an open source Chromium which is itself as a fork of KHTML/Webkit?! 🤔 da fuq!’ Do we just not understand Google/Alphabwt anymore? 🤦‍♂️

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Good! 👍 get rid of this plastic garbage! 🗑️

Amen! 🙏 I think we already did this 🤣

Google’s Chrome Worth Up To $20 Billion If Judge Orders Sale
Alphabet’s Chrome browser could go for as much as $20 billion if a judge agrees to a Justice Department proposal to sell the business, in what would be a historic crackdown on one of the world’s biggest tech companies. From a report: The department will ask the judge, who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market, to require measur … ⌘ Read more

Given the incredible damage social media has done to democracy and our mental health, I’d like to see it banned for anyone under 200 years old.

And this is just funny but effective 🤣

Forcing social media to open their algorithms: hostile to corporations
Forcing young people to not use social media: hostile to young people, helps prevent them from organizing
You think they did this for the benefit of the young people?

Also this ☝️

As drinkypoo pointed out above, it’s all about the algorithms. If social media wasn’t driven by advertising and engagement - if it was implemented as societal infrastructure for the well-being of all citizens and the financial profit of nobody - then it would be a great good in society. As it exists currently, it’s a Trojan horse whose belly is full of contagious cancer

This ☝️

Its time to brush up on your competitive programming skills!

all of the software sucks, but i have a solution! we’ll write even more software! get more people involved, make it the Ideal Career, then we can write AL̵L̴ O̵F TH̨E ̧C̀ODE̷S. mountains of shitty garbage that kind-of does the thing. software will still suck, but T͜HE̕N oh then we can write compilers that let us run the old shitty code inside of our mountain of new shitty code. now all of the code is in a giant pile and we’re using it to control space ships that definitely never crash. the more code the better! we can represent NaN easily in undefined systems! developers aren’t particularly bright, so the language is simple and easy for them to understand. we know this, that’s why it was made this way. the͡ moun͢tain ͠m̵us͜t ͠nȩver̢ ̴wa̡ve̴r̵. the more code the better. so instead of writing the code manually we c̴ómpilę t͞or̸t̕u͜red so̷u͜ls ͏i͞n͞to͝ ͟nice ͢b̀l̷oxe̡ls ̸of͠ ̸t̶an̡g͜l̀ed ͞n̢eu͏ra̡l͠ ̕ne̢t͏w͟orkś.̸ w̨e d͠on’t́ know how i̵t ̷w͟ork̡s, ̴but ̷t̴he model̢ ̶is̛ 5̛0GiB ́s̶o ͟i͞t s͞e͘rve͟s ̴tḩe̛ purpośe.
