In-reply-to » @doesnm No it's all good... I've just rebuilt it from master and it doesn't look like anything is broken:

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt You don’t generally call go build main.go or whatever. You generally call go build . or go build ./cmd/foo/... – Because you need to tell the compiler to build a whole package or a bunch of sub-packages + main. go run main.go only works for the simplest case.

In-reply-to » Wow! Just Wow! 😮 Media Discovered this whilst trying to debug why my Youtube frontend no longer works:

Same here:

chunk at offset 0 has invalid size: expected=10485760 actual=0

What I’m seeing is some kind of detection going on and the CDN servers responding with 0 bytes.

In-reply-to » I don’t think calling the various PHP files making up “Timeline” a “Yarn pod” is accurate.

@bender@twtxt.net Perhaps it might be better to describe a “Pod” or “Yarn Pod” as a Web Application or Desktop/Mobile App that provides a good user experience to provide a decentralised set of capabilities for following and interactions with one or more Twtxt feeds? 🤔 By that definition, even Jenny would fit that bill 😉

In-reply-to » its important to see clearly: the rejection of mastodon for bluesky is not a rejection of the desire to be free of our corporate overlords; its a rejection of white bros controlling digital spaces. sit with that

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org What do you mean by this?

eugen and his interlocutors have had immense power with which to challenge twitter but their racial and cultural and ideological insularity prevented them from using i

In-reply-to » Bluesky Says It Won't Train AI On Your Posts Bluesky, the social network surging in popularity, says it has "no intention" of training AI tools on users content. "The social network made the announcement on the same day that X (formerly Twitter) is implementing its new terms of service that allow the platform to use public posts to train AI," notes TechCrunch. From the report: "A number of artists and creators have made their home ... ⌘ Read more

@bender@twtxt.net thanks for this! Do you remember the numerous times that I have stated the nuances between distributed networks and decentralized networks? With Bluesky it’s even worse as the way they are operating building and maintaining their service, It’s more closer to centralized service than anything remotely close to what we would consider “decentralized”.

In-reply-to » @prologic what do we make of Labor's proposed social media minimum age ban, I.e ID verification, and the likes of Yarn? I haven't been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it's broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD.

Btw the way, here’s a copy of the Email I sent to my Federal MP (Elizabeth Watson Brown):

In-reply-to » The web is such garbage these days 😔 Or is it the garbage search engines? 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I think it’s worth looking at the Web Browser Timeline to really understand the history and derivation of web browsers over time. I agree that building a Web Browser is complicated and hard, but that’s only because of the expectations we place on web browsers today and the enormous set of features they now carry. Ultimately we’re still talking about one of the most powerful and simplest protocols ever invesnted, the Hypermedia Text Transport Protocol and Hypermedia Systems.

But that’s not what I meant when I said “The web is seemingly garbage these days”.

This pod is now using the index for archive twts instead of the old (naive) disk-based index with that results in millions of files over a long time 🤣
