A game about navigating a dodecahedron, like on Wumpus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus
The hunting mechanic in Wumpus is not fun by todayās standards but things like building a farm or exploring a planet š could be cool.
I donāt understand how 32% is too dry, or 17 is too cold. Here it is 0% and 7Ā° in my office š
BTW I need one of those with humidity
hey @justamoment@twtxt.net ! Is vector-pass open sourced or open to collaboration somehow?
Iād like to use it and perhaps replace BitWarden but Iād prefer to have passphrases rather than passwords like ijf7wY6B8ykd7Jid7 since phrases are easier to type
Embedded OTPs and everything depending on a strong secret is a blast, BTW š
@prologic@twtxt.net š In my context we use āPlatformā often, but not āEcosystemā, I guess I need to research a bit on the difference to understand it better.
Thanks for sharing all that! I always forget the About page
@darch@neotxt.dk If I may add something, I think it needs more contrast for the Dark theme. (I donāt know how I reached that theme on Edge, perhaps browser settings? On LibreWolf it shows the Light one)
Hehe, itās looking great, good job!
Iād like to know more numbers for techs like GPS/Navigation, Twitter, TikTok, AI/ML based assistants. Decisions taken based on ML. Wearables. Medicine. Encryption. % of population with a mobile device and Internet access.
Itās going so fast that we canāt remember how to live w/o those technologies, anymore.
As a tech designer is exciting. As a world citizenā¦ Well, a bit overwhelming, but with hope that all that tech wonāt make us consumerists.
Talking about analytics š¤£
āDonāt compare your progress with othersā
@prologic@twtxt.net I always wanted a few of these
But now cost wise I have some traditional NiCd chargers and batteries for the few devices without rechargeable batteries at home. Like the Xbox controller. Works well enough.
Checking my notes, I find that there are as well a few strange traits in Spanish that foreigners could find counterintuitive, like having silent letters, sounds depending on the following vowel, and soā¦

Iām writing a Game design proposal and I came to a topic I love
Internetās Echo chambers 101
This happened during an event in Guadalajara, MĆ©xico a few years ago.
I randomly recalled when you said QR Guerilla Marketing

After sleeping like a bear š» Iām feeling much better today. Thanks all for your messages.
This morning I had a routine blood test of like 6 tubes šš©øš¤Ø You know, on empty stomach and suchā¦
So Iāll have a good #tea to start the morning and classes #chocolatePeppermintFTW
Meet my Christmas dog š¶ š¤¶
Thank you for the feedback and your votes (Bananas, SĆøren Peter @darch@neotxt.dk, prologic) !
On the programming side, this problem is not that challenging (yet). Ask availability to your friends, and make some statistics with it, sum, sets. I think this will be done quickly.
On the product design and user interface sides, it has been challenging.
Itās different if you ask to decide between Tue 9pm, Wed 9pm or Thu 9pm. vs. deciding two days, vs a whole week (24 x 7 = 168 possible options)
We have discussed getting inspiration from Doodle and Framadate but I find that is difficult to make it accessible, and for a weekās view those are also confusing.
Currently, Iām focusing on the use case of deciding on a Weekly call on Fridays and Saturdays in the mornings or afternoons (about 48 different options), but Iām trying to find a better strategy. Perhaps divide and conquer (Fri mornings, Fri afternoons, Sat mornings, Sat afternoons)
What do you think?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for the catch-up. I live in that state, so I experienced firsthand the change.
Basically, our state had an ICANN region (Mexican Mountain Time/MT), but the government said āForget that and follow Mexican Central Timeā.
But as the state on the border, Texas, USA, stays with American MT, that made some trouble between companies and offices.
That has happened before, the municipalities/regions had different start and end for DST for 1 or 2 weeks, but now they have 1 hr offset all the year.
tl;dr ICANN timezone America/Chihuahua is not gonna be used anymore. Some municipalities are going to switch to America/Mexico_City and some others to US/Mountain. In the future, when USA removes DST, those states are going to follow. Regions on the border will follow American regulations. #sovereigntyFTW
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net meanwhile, in Spanish
I found a Foosball with a digital scoreboard.
In college I wanted to make one of these with electronics and PICs, but it was a bit expensive as a student, so never I finished that.
Later I made one with a tablet and an online ranking system.
I wanted to build one for table tennis, inspired by one I say online which recognizes a RFID chip in your racket š
@marado@tilde.pt hehe, agreed!
At least we only have an UV index of 5 š
Winter is here ā
@darch@neotxt.dk I agree! Doodle.com is a great inspiration. Instead of Emojis, using standard symbols like ā (ā) or ā, with the standard traffic light colors, could be a better idea.
Thanks for the feedback!
Iām working on this PoC to vote on the best time for an international call, showing the multiple timeslots in your local time, and getting numbers on preferences among people.
The UI could be vastly improved, but this is what I have so farā¦ I want to see it in action since itās very different to choose between 1, 2, or even 7 days (24 hours each). If you want to help to test it and give some comments send me a reply!
At least Iām learning a lot on the topicā¦š
Whatās going on? š§
I have a bot where you can register your exercise routines. So now I have a few months of data, and Iād like to do something with it.
I think the gamified contribution graph from Github could be something interesting (to see how often you exercise and how intense it was)
Currently, I have this graph of burned calories each day and a sum, over a timeline, but I think it does communicate anything interesting:
Any ideas?
It allows you to pick a few options in your local time, and I think it automagically picks the ābestā time
Please submit your choices to see how it works
@prologic@twtxt.net These are the most decent times I found for most of us
(Mexico City is Americas Central Time, and I guess Sydney is a good reference point for aussies, Iām sorry if not š¬)
I wasnāt aware of this term, cool!
A random example I found out there:
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net 450k-720k USD? Sounds to me like a big number!
A decent house here is about 50k-100k. With 500k you can get a small mansion in important cities.
Also, the average wage in my country is about 500-1,000 USD/month, so I guess itās a matter of numbers. Thanks for sharing, it gives me perspective.
Hmmmā¦
Go instead to the lower limit of Millerās Law (about having 7 +/- 2 options)
That means max 5 elements.
Iām loving the way Microsoft Edge allows you to see the tabs vertically. Perhaps itās available on other browsers, but I havenāt seen it.
Disclaimer: My Taskbar is vertical as well.
The installer is not working with ZSH but the script seems to work fineā¦
This is amazing BTW
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci damn, not even 5!
Here with the new timezone (moved from MT to CT, and DST no more š„³) we have this š
Not that bad I think, I guess it would be 5.15 with the previous time
@prologic@twtxt.net Itās looking good here
BTW, do those filters work for Timeline and Discover, right?
Being Timeline your following list and Discover all the local (twtxt.net) following?
I think Iāve never understood the difference behind the scenes.
@prologic@twtxt.net
Hmm, I canāt find those labels on mobileā¦ I reloaded, sign out and login, tried the mobile view, then the PC one (with the AMOLED theme on my phone š¤³), am I missing something?
I could try on my PC in a few hours if thatās the matter

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net #forTheRecore there is no Mexican Halloween š
But the Day of the Dead (Nov 2nd) is pretty cool (as you can see in the Coco movie)
Talking about the food, yep, it something you miss being in Europe, although I found a few nice places there.
I friend send us this img, itās a peculiar tradition of cooking for your dear dead relative, friend or celebrity
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I like to have separate devices for each activity. That way a can switch more easily of context and stop working when I should be doing something else
That said, currently I only have a single ādecentā laptop PC that I use for everythingā¦ At least I have 2 phones, one for work, and another for personal life š¤
@prologic@twtxt.net no worries, my point goes on saving the Timezone on the Twtxt file, instead of adding a Metadata (which is going to be outdated if you travel to another Timezone)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de and yeah, the current administration (leftist populist) is proposing half-baked laws for everything. Soā¦ What can I say?
My state is in the border but my city donāt. So itās gonna be a mess if I have to work with friends close to the border. There isnāt even a Mexican Timezone for them, so Iāll have to pick one from USA.
Basically this current map is gonna change completelyā¦ With 2 days notice
@prologic@twtxt.net Got it!
I thought you were saying this one:
Hmmm, good question. Iām aware the hash is part of the twt, but it can be hidden in the App for readability (Iām thinking of a RegEx or something simpler). How would it be if you hide it on the API? š¤
@prologic@twtxt.net Itās an amazing implementation, not so intuitive but playable
I have good memories of my grandpa playing Solitaire across many versions of Windows, I hadnāt played in years but I remember the tricks, he
