In-reply-to » The tiny avatars, as expected (because they showed normal to you too @prologic), do not show under macOS’s Safari, but they do show on iOS’s Safari. It truly is a puzzle.

Hahaha! And now they show tiny! I had to reload the page. So, I see the problem on iOS and macOS Safari too. I have no other browser to test with, I exclusively use Safari.

In-reply-to » (#zwr3hiq) @prologic @bender @eapl.me I think opening another file is a bad idea because it adds complexity to the clients, breaks the single feed and I think keeping legacy clients will be more complex to add new features in the future. A modern approach is important. I'll be honest, I'm a bit tired of the fight around the direct message. Perhaps, we can remove it as an extension and use the alternative @prologic . My suggestion apparently doesn't like to the community. I have no problem with remove it.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev how often do you send a private message on the Fediverse? How often do you send PGP/SMIME encrypted emails? Are there other tools that are more suitable for the task? If implementing direct/private messages on twtxt scratches an itch (you know, that hobbyist itch we all get from time to time), then don’t give up so easily. Worse comes to worse, and your feed becomes too noisy, people can simply unfollow/mute.

I really don’t care about direct messages here, but I might be on that bottom 1%!

In-reply-to » (#mfygfma) @eapl.me When it is up and running, I promise to add it to the specification. I will also include some corrections. The nature of twtxt does not allow us to selectively hide clients. It's a problem not with DM, but with any extension. @prologic Yes, it is a security hole. All dm-echo messages are readable. I intend it to be a debugging tool. Maybe I can include a warning message. If many of you see that it is a serious problem, I can remove the links. @xuu It's already much better than Mastodon :P . Maybe we can remove the sender and receiver references with an intermediary register.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev maybe create a separate, completely distinct feed for DM? That way, clients do not need to do anything, only those wanted to ā€œtalk in privateā€ follow themselves, using their very special dm-only.txt feeds. šŸ˜‚

We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

One article assigning a draw of 20 watts to the human brain.

What’s the relation between the brains of mice, and the human brain? I am kind of lost trying to make the connection.

I also read that it isn’t 5 watts, but more like 10-20 watts. Still a super tiny consumption, comparing to what it takes to run anything AI.

In-reply-to » (#72ls54a) @prologic in this case it isn't vendor lock-in. I believe they do it because the carrier "eats" the costs (the interest part of the instalments). The phones are fully unlocked.

ā€œMove to iOSā€ app continuously refused to run as intended and expected, so couldn’t migrate mum’s Android based phone data. Most of her stuff is on a Google account, but not the SMS/MMS/RCS messages. Haven’t found a way to export, then import those into iOS.

She isn’t too happy having to keep the old phone just for the messages. Need to find a way to go through them, export multimedia attachments, and import them into iOS. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but I am not letting her know yet. šŸ˜…

In-reply-to » A mate and I met at the scout yard to prepare an upcoming workshop. Boy did we have an amazing sunset when we left. The photos don't reflect it, it was a hell lot more beautiful in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/plaetzle-2025-04-11/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org now, that’s what I am talking about! Having been witness of similar sunsets, I would wholeheartedly agree that a photo (no matter how good!) is a poor replacement for not being able to spectate it in person.

I will return the two we got for parents, and re-buy them again, this time on an instalment plan. Why pay $2,000 up front when you can split the cost in convenient monthly payments, all interest free, right?
