@abucci@anthony.buc.ci welcome to Winter (time) ❄️🥶 !

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s 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 I’ve never understood the difference behind the scenes.

@prologic@twtxt.net well, yeah, the Web is going extremely fast and the mobile app/API is very far from having all those features 😵‍💫

Could we try with a PWA to reuse those skills? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net
Hmm, I can’t find those labels on mobile… I reloaded, sign out and login, tried the mobile view, then the PC one (with the AMOLED theme on my phone 🤳), am I missing something?

I could try on my PC in a few hours if that’s the matter

@prologic@twtxt.net 👌

My wife is watching Titanic once again…

Stupid emotional movie 😢🍿

@prologic@twtxt.net hehe, yes. I need to exercise and having a measurable goal every week works for me.

From my FitBot:
21 hours before the week ends

I’m in Ruby league
This week I’ve burned 273.5 calories
91 to stay in this league
And 246 to jump to the next league

🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net For Mentions me and No replies, I think is self-explanatory. I guess _Local onl_y will require further explanation, perhaps twtxt.net/domain.tls only?

That said I’d like to have an option ‘With replies’ or ‘Active conversations’

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess you are behind… Please take a took at it.

I tried to run the project in Xcode from the last commit but it gave me errors, I guess I need to install the whole Flutter environment.

@prologic@twtxt.net which one? 🤔

as we can see in the last question here:
https://vote.heliosvoting.org/faq

digital/remote voting is not ready for massive elections. Regardless my country, and many countries are thinking on using it due to the expected cost reductions.

it’s gonna be an interesting case to study after.

@marado@tilde.pt That’s true!

My grandpa was a citizen invited to help with the voting in the neighborhood (I don’t know the title in english, but something like ballot box Secretary), and I took the training with him. It was nice, both could understand it quickly.

The current process is an hybrid between ancient processes that anyone can understand and modern tech. And it works for the process of auditing, with technology on top to have results in a few hours.
But it’s damn expensive 🤔

To make it more interesting, the vote has to be anonymous and untraceable. Yes, we know who went to the election, but we shouldn’t have a way to know your decision.

And you must be sure that every vote was counted correctly. Interesting design problem.

My thesis was on digital/electronic voting (about 10 years ago)

There is an interesting problem there: How could you replace the paper ballots with a digital device? You’ll find a few benefits like a fast counting and transmitting the data without moving the ballot box to a central place.

The disadvantage is assuring the secrecy and freedom when you are voting. It’s easy with an inert paper, extremely difficult with an electronic device. How could you be sure the vote is correct if it’s secert?

I found an interesting proposal (I have to read it deeply) on how to fix this problem that has been ‘looking for a solution’ for decades:

I’m bored and unwilling to do anything…

😵‍💫

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Thx!

@prologic@twtxt.net What was the name of the service you mentioned a few days (weeks?) ago to manage authentication?

I want to bookmark it but I can’t find it

and eventually you want to play crazy tunes like https://youtu.be/32YX6qhTGi8

and no, it’s not so easy at is sounds in the first few seconds… Damn Bethoven 🎼🎶🎵

@movq@www.uninformativ.de these few first notes are mythical but it’s not an easy song, starting about the 0:50 mark

https://youtu.be/wfF0zHeU3Zs?t=58

I guess I never mastered the whole song, but anyone knows how to play the first 9 notes

@movq@www.uninformativ.de all my respect to my friends and devs in general knowing ASM… Wow!

I only learned to turn LEDs on PIC Microcontrollers, and moved quickly to C

@prologic@twtxt.net and not only in engineering.

Today I had a surprise conference from the National Electoral Institute and the presentation was full or Acronyms. Tha target was students which obviously don’t know what a GTFO is… 🙄

I think companies use them as a Branding. Instead of the Deployment process use OSDEAIDS, a.k.a. Our Super Duper Extreme And Improved Deployment System.

I know they save time, but have a deep learning curve 📈

@prologic@twtxt.net I forgot! I send you good vibes… 😃

I’m thinking of getting a challenging employment but then I guess I’ll feel alike 😵‍💫

and

😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci

@nmke-de@yarn.zn80.net https://www.saksoft.com/blog/rss-vs-atom/

I got to say that in the last few years I’ve used Atom almost exclusively. I remind parsing XML RSS feeds by hand 15 or 20 years ago, so I could say it’s a really old format by Internet standards.

That said I switched from read only feeds to microblogging or chats. Reading offline is nice but I don’t do it enough nowadays.

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t overthink ? 🤔

and tapas are not mexican, I guess they are argentinian or spanish, that said, they are awesome 🤤

I need to go out for lunch this weekend, in Germany I tried some amazing kebabs 🌯 for the first time, I’m fan now

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net #forTheRecore there is no Mexican Halloween 🎃
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, it’s a peculiar tradition of cooking for your dear dead relative, friend or celebrity

Well, after a few hours updating now I have a Mac with macOS 12 🥳

it doesn’t look that bad, as the transition from Win 10 to Win 11 which is awful 😑

For everything else, Xubuntu 😅

@marado@twtxt.net Nibbles was cool as well! When the mythic snake game on the Nokia phones arrived I thought “I’ve played this before!”

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, it seems the amazing soundtrack is missing in that version 😥

I used to play with a cousin for hours, we even made a song for waiting the banana was falling down to the target…

What about https://classicreload.com/qbasic-gorillas.html ?
I loved that game as a kid

QSHIPS also looked nice

@cobra@yn.vern.cc calculate my taxes

My Mac Mini 2014 can’t install XCode since it requires macOS 12 which I need to install first 🫤

At least the Mac is still usable, kind of slow due to the HDD, but fast enough after the Full Factory reset.

hmmm it seems the GIF didn’t load

@justamoment@twtxt.net

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love your screenshots, and your blog entry is very informative. Thanks for sharing!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’ve seen that most of the boomers in my country forwarding emails now moved to Whatsapp…

Supposedly most of the users have 25-34 years 🤔

P.D. Don’t have a work computer where you eat, you sleep or you have leisure time.

#everythingWrong

@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 ‘decent’ laptop PC that I use for everything… At least I have 2 phones, one for work, and another for personal life 🤔

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net This is a really good idea! I use the free cloud version, but I think I should have an instance for my team (and perhaps later for my non-techy fam)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Time… a programmer’s worst enemy and Falsehoods programmers believe about time come to my mind

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Change aversion?
https://library.gv.com/change-aversion-why-users-hate-what-you-launched-and-what-to-do-about-it-2fb94ce65766

It’s not that took hours to read the words, but to make it as natural as it was on Twitter, I think.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, I missed context. I’m talking about soft limits (based on Twitter obviously) recommended by the spec and that a few CLI follow

A status should consist of up to 140 characters, longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged. twtxt will warn the user if a newly composed status update exceeds this limit, and it will also shorten incoming status updates by default.

This random idea was inspired by Les Misérables (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_novels#Comparison_of_methods) and https://nicheless.blog

@prologic@twtxt.net Good luck!
I hope it compiles quickly on Mac. BTW could you activate the dark splash screen on Xcode? 🙏 You can see how here

I have an old Mac mini with Mohave, but I think is gonna be only a few clicks for you…

#randomQuestionOfTheDay

Light or Dark theme? (on your devices, PC, Mac, Phone)
And why Dark?

#randomIdeaOfTheDay

Instead of limiting twts by number of characters, do it by num of words, 42 for instance. optionally 69
