My “Spotify Wrap” of 2022 is that I didn’t use Spotify during the year. 🥳✌️

@prologic@twtxt.net I suppose that should be noted both on the spec and client implementations. At least your client doesn’t deal very well with it…

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Finally, an alternative to Samsung on five-year security updates. Hoping others will follow.

@marcos-marado-atmind_booster@feeds.twtxt.net What’s going on with Nitter? Musk’s twitter changes breaking it?

COP27 e a competição de narrativas: O pior da COP27 é estar cara a cara com as consequências”

Faz hoje 15 anos que se tentou trazer a ideia de “three strikes and you’re out” para o combate à pirataria em Portugal.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Only 30C more than here, no biggie!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Definitely going into my bag of tools!

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net @eaplmx@twtxt.net Still to reply to the “what can be done?” question, here’s one thing: each of us can sign this open letter

@paulasimoes@feeds.twtxt.net signed!

@eaplmx@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net To be fair, tapes have a better longevity than CDs, and nothing compared to vinyl. But I do agree with what you said (and also have a mild collector addiction to music in all those formats).

@mckinley@twtxt.net @eaplmx@twtxt.net There’s zero evidence that DRM hinders piracy, plenty of evidence that it harms both consumers and artists. There’s plenty of good stuff written about it, Doctorow is a personal favorite author of mine. Here’s one sort of random text of his about DRM.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net @eaplmx@twtxt.net we’re getting more limited in what we can do on a consumer level (boycotting is not always an option, for eg. all cars in the EU must have software, and no options exist in the market where it is free software), but beyond voting with the wallet, we can also vote in politics and policies, as much more can be done in a regulatory level. in Europe it is possible to protect users a bit from DRM, and we now want the right to install whatever we want on our devices, just to give a couple of examples.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Cars being more often an IoT hell was so easily accepted, that now they’re more and more becoming a DRM hell. Consumers should stop accepting the idea that they are not the owners of what they buy.

Digital Books wear out faster than Physical Books

I decided to publish (and maintain) a very brief timeline of the climate crisis, mostly for my own sake.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Welcome to the world of enneaphobia!

@prologic@twtxt.net yup, I have nothing but ❤️ for all the work you have been doing around it!👍

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, basically I refer to a “radical decentralization”, with twtxt you don’t need to host a pod or maintain any software, nor rely on any 3rd parties, you can simply manage a text file, and make it available however works best for you. It provides a quite refreshing sort of independence I mostly miss from the internet of decades ago. Mastodon is nice, but it doesn’t give you /that/.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Tough, I like it!

No ano passado falava-se em termos o comboio a chegar a todas as cidades com mais e 20 mil habitantes, mas ontem o documento aprovado para ir para consulta pública fala só em 28 centros urbanos, num projecto “sem fixação de prazo, mas com um horizonte indicativo de 2050”. Para que conste, em 2021 havia 120 municípios com mais de 20 mil habitantes.

@prologic@twtxt.net it works, but Collabora Office works better (or did?). Both have integration with nextcloud which makes hosting it way easier.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, I just went to confirm, and people are referring to their presence on mastodon with the initial @, so… yes, better support both formats!

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know enough about mastodon to be sure

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, I see ejat I did wrong, extra @

O sumário mais lúcido que já li até hoje sobre a posição do PCP quanto à guerra na Ucrânia.

Who could have seen this coming… According to The Spiegel:

“After election mishaps and massive organizational problems in the elections in Berlin on September 26, 2021, the Berlin Constitutional Court declared the elections to the House of Representatives and the district assemblies to be invalid. They have to be repeated in their entirety.”

@prologic@twtxt.net plannning a new feature for feeds.twtxt.net ?

Ouvi as entrevistas de Paulo Raimundo à RTP e à CNN. Gostei do que ouvi (dele). Sei que as entrevistas foram curtas e necessariamente não-exaustivas, mas entristece-me não ter ouvido nenhuma referência à crise climática.

Estou sempre a mandar vir com quem gosta de anunciar a vindoura morte das coisas, em especial cassetes… Mas só agora dou o devido valor ao artigo onde a Exame Informática anunciava a morte da cassete… em 1997, há um quarto de século!

@prologic@twtxt.net no thoughts, just curious! I first assumed it wasn’t possible, but your comment made me think it might be. And now that you aren’t sure, I’m starting to worry 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net @eaplmx@twtxt.net I’m not sure what are you looking for exactly, but framadate is (to me) quite more powerful than doodle, and free software… a rewrite was being worked on, but lacking contributors… you might see that as either a good or a bad thing!

@eaplmx@twtxt.net @darch@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net careful, think too long about this and you’ll end writing a protocol for the equivalent of twitter’s polls… 😇

@rsdoiel@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe a bit offtopic, but:

If I pull twtxt.net’s feed, change its URL and sync the changed file back into twtxt.net, will the feed in the pod retain the new URL? Even if then I keep editing the feed by posting into it using the pod?

Desde o dia 7 de novembro que 6 escolas em Lisboa se encontram ocupadas por estudantes que exigem o fim ao fóssil. A ocupação deverá acabar amanhã, porque “Dia 12 de novembro, dia mundial pela Justiça Climática, irão todas à manifestação «Unir Contra o Fracasso Climático», marcada para as 14h da tarde no Campo Pequeno, em Lisboa.”

@dfaria@twtxt.net True! I suppose I’d like the ‘search’ section on twtxt.net to work like search.twtxt.net (or even post to there, I wouldn’t mind if pressing the search button would take me to search.twtxt.net …)

@prologic@twtxt.net, are there any plans to add the ability of full text search on yarn pods? Is this something I should open an issue/feature request for?

@eaplmx@twtxt.net “twt=tweet, and twtxt=tweetext” seems great, I’ll adopt those! Maybe there should be a glossary (including this ‘preference’) somewhere on yarn.social …

Para atingir a meta de não ultrapassar os 1.5ºC até 2030, preciamos de reduzir para metade as nossas emissões de CO2 até ao final da década. Mas, em vez de prestar atenção para isso, Costa foca-se no objectivo de 2050 (quiçá porque está mais longe), e aparenta estar mesmo interessado em resolver o problema da crise climática, ao ponto de sugerir antecipar os objectivos para lá, de 2050 para 2045. E, enquanto chama a atenção para essa “atitude positiva”, espera que ninguén note que Portugal está em falta - no pesente - no cumprimento dos seus compromissos tomados para a acção climática.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net (Possibly offtopic, but) I actually have been feeling the pain of saying (verbally, out loud) both twt and twtxt. How do you do it?

Frase do dia:

《Não podemos descarbonizar as cidades, à custa da contaminação das aldeias》

@mckinley@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The link rel bit is because the feed can have relative urls. ie, if it is on http://example.com/feed, in can have somewhere in there a

Image

for eg.. If I download that feed I to my hard-drive and then try to render it, I need to know that “icon.jpg” is relative to http://example.com/feed, ie, that I will find it at http://example.com/icon.jpg (and not locally, next to the feed file I downloaded).

I hope my explanation makes sense…

@prologic@twtxt.net tbf, microblogs as comment systems might just be a wrong idea. I was led towards it by the current twitter implementation on bashblog (which I use), but the more I think about it the more I suspect that it just is the wrong tool for the job.

@prologic@twtxt.net I was thinking more on something along the lines of the current twitter “integration”, but now that I think more about it, I realize that darch’s suggestion has more merit than what I initially realized. The blog comments system can be a twtxt feed, each entry a new twt/hash, each user comment referring to that hash.

@prologic@twtxt.net You said it would work nicely, but I’d love to hear more about how you (and others) see this being done…

Thinking about reviving (#xi7nivq) - the idea of managing bashblog comments with twtxt instead of leading people to Twitter.

One of the things that attracts me about the “twtxt social network” is how radically decentralized it is. Not only each user is its own node (maintaining its own text file feed), there’s no limits to the protocols used to access each feed. Sure, most of the feeds are probably being served over http or https, but there are feeds being served over gopher, and I bet some of them over ftp/ftps. But it doesn’t have to be that way - feeds can be distributed in any modern equivalent to the sneakernet, you can save yours in a usb stick or a floppy disk, hand it over by hand or send it via postal mail; you can distributed them on a mailing list, on the usernet… The limit is your imagination.
This reflection made me realize that there’s no reason to wait for secushare, twtxt feeds can already be used, shared, maintained and spread on GNUnet, taking this social media platform to the GNU Internet.
