@axodys@octobloc.xyz Do you plan to massage it into something useful? Like an archived Twtxt feed? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmmm where’s the root of this thread? 😆

Funny and Cute Parrots Videos Compilation cute moments of the animals - Cute Birds - YouTube – This is just too cute 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net Can you elaborate a bit? 🤔 I for example Twt to keep a pretty strict private life and “public persona” but I am still me of course and behave the same way online as I do in real life 🤗

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh I see 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net Can you elaborate a bit on this? Whose private identities? 🤔 On the Mastodon side? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no And also very scary 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net

Proprietary software claiming to “protect your privacy” cannot and should not be trusted.

I agree with this 💯 – There is no better scrutiny of software than one that’s built in the open for all to see and exploit its weaknesses 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org / @mckinley@twtxt.net your fears/worries about the “growth” may suddenly just hit us hard 😅 – Fortunately however I think its completely within our control. If Mastodon really do add support for Twtxt, we (Yarn.social / Twtxt users, tools, bots, search engines, etc) can basically just interact with the growing Mastodon community in the nice “pull-model” Twtxt form we all love and enjoy 👌

Oh wow! 😳 Looks like Mastodon are planning to add support for Twtxt in Add support for Twtxt protocol 😅

Emissions Map - Climate TRACE

@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh I see. Well at least they do intend to open source it? 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net Cool 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net Well we all have our reasons and they’re all valid and good imo 👌 I think as long as we continue to make the thing we want to and like to use that’s all that matters right? That’s how I started out on this journey and project, I created the very thing I wanted to use, turns out others didn’t mind using it either 🤗

@justamoment@twtxt.net Oh man that’s crazy 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net I did not know DDG was all proprietary 🤦‍♂️

@mckinley@twtxt.net precisely 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Your comments around maintaining your “filter bubble” and “being able to keep up” are things I think we should try to find good ways and tools to manage. I too like the filter bubble I’ve created around myself (so far) and probably want to mostly keep it that way (more or less). Yes keeping up is getting harder, which has driven me to work on and experiment with “Filtering”.

I don’t really see Twtxt / Yarn.social as a “social media” per se, I see it more of an ecosystem and an easy way to get a “thought” or two out there with some familiar things (of course) borrowed from “social media”. Remember that I think much of the same concepts really predated the likes of Twitter/Facebook anyway (finger? Status.net? and others…) so the “sour taste” we have is maybe ill placed?

Anyway, let’s keep trying to make something good 🤗

Bleh, I hate the Javascript/NodeJS/npm ecosystem so much 🤦‍♂️ Just trying to modify a simple CICD Github Actions workflow and since its written in Javascript and uses god knows what the hell dependencies, it wants to pull in half the fucking NPM world 🤦‍♂️

@darch@neotxt.dk This is also an option 👌 Personally I tend to prefer the “Share via …” bookmarklet, because you’re sort of saying “Hey y’all, check this thing out I want to share with you” 😅 I feel like an RSS -> Twtxt feed of a blog is kind of different somehow? 🤔

FWIW I think you should. Use the Share via twtxt.net bookmarklet feature (which you’ll find in Settings -> Tools).

@mckinley@twtxt.net I was not aware no 😅 I personally don’t actively go “browsing” per se. I rely on word-of-mouth and I guess by extension Yarn.social / Twtxt to hear/learn of new things.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Bahahahahaha 🤣😆😂

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh this is really cool 👌 Too bad I’m not at my Desktop right now 🤔 Will check out later (doesn’t work on mobile)

@eaplmx@twtxt.net 👌

@eaplmx@twtxt.net What will happen now I think is all your Twts will change their Hashes maybe 😅 Changing your feed’s “Hashing URL” is not something you really want to do too often I think 🤣 But let’s see…

@rsdoiel@twtxt.net Don’t worry, I’ve used IRC for over 25years and counting now 😅 Its still the best open communications medium around really 🤣 Just head over to Yarn.social#collaboration and follow the links. I tried to make it easy by linking the Libera Web Chat client 👌

@eaplmx@twtxt.net I’m actually not sure if that’ll work. Can you test it and let us know, then submit a PR to amend the spec if it does? 😅 It just affects the Twt Hash(es), and we take the first one as the “Hashing URI”.

The AT Protocol – notizBlog – Actually, can someone that speaks/rads German natively please translate this blog post for the rest of us that don’t understand German 😅 Thank you! 🙏

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah me too! 🙏

So I discovered (get it? 🤣) that there is a Twtxt feed out there that is otherwise identical but are served as two different feeds with a different # url = field for some strange reason, even though the content is literally identical 😅

You can see what I mean by poking around these two twts: #jbsw56q and #bekvqja

Basically if you’re going to serve your feed over different protocols or a different URL on the same protocol/scheme, you really should use the same # url = (Hashing URI as per the spec) 🤗

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Actually you are somewhat right about and I empathise with your point of view. As much as I believe in what we’ve built here, I also recognise its not for everyone. The “masses” (as we call ‘em) are (as you say) truly lost. It is next to impossible to pry them away from all this centralised privacy eroding garbage as they almost just “don’t get it”.

I’ve found myself saying in conversations with my wife and friends and family, with the increase in data branches, that we will only start to question the way things are and where our data is stored and with whom, only (and only if) it started to hurt a lot more than it already is.

With the recent branches of Optus and Medibank here in Australia, Australians are starting to feel the pain of identity fraud, theft, increased difficulty in dealing with institutions (like taking your own money out of a bank!) and so on…

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 But it’s so true right 😅 it’s nothing to do with “tech”, it is everywhere. As we build more and more complicated “things” we lose our understanding of how anything actually works 😅 – We (as a human race) would be so royally screwed if the Sun was to hit us with a south facing solar flare, or an asteroid were to strike the earth again 🤣

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Good 👌 Facial Recognition absolutely should be banned 🤬

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Haha me neither! 😅 And @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org / @eaplmx@twtxt.net in English I think we call this “rote learning” Rote learning - Wikipedia

I think sadly we saw a bunch of spam/bot accounts created on various pods throughout the network 😢 besides up and coming “invite system” we plan to build, not sure there is much more we can do 🤣 Oh well 🤷‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hah 😅 Never, I know you’re a fan of Scala 🤣 But cool little project l 👌

It would be pretty easy to take the same code and write a CLI that generates static HTML like I’m doing with twtxt2html 👌

@tel@we.loveprivacy.club How what? 🤔

@tel@we.loveprivacy.club Hey! 👋 Nice to still see you around 🙇‍♂️

@akoizumi@kyoko.nerdpol.ovh Did you study? 😅

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee I think this is true of just about any non-trivial “tech” these days, for example cars.

@algorifer@twtxt.net I’m working on an integrated full text and keyword search engine directly into yarnd which will replace the current (crappy) tag-only search. This will allow us to index an archive (optional, as some archives are rather large) and give us full search capability and do interesting things like pull up old conversations (yarns) from the index (but explicitly as we’ll likely continue to use the cache model with limited size and ttl for good reasons).

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci LOL 🤣

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Hmmm maybe give me some days to think about how to do this properly 🤗

@algorifer@twtxt.net No worries 🤗

@algorifer@twtxt.net Sure so archived Twts are not indexed at the moment….

@rsdoiel@twtxt.net Are you able to join our IRC channel so we can talk through this? 🤔

@rsdoiel@twtxt.net Hmmm 🤔

Yes @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org why not encourage folks to get off those garbage platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc and join Yarn.social instead 😆

Shouldn’t folks also be familiar with the decentralized Web too? 🤔

I prefer to think of Yarn.social as an ecosystem because the “transport” is (yes!) pull buy delivered over existing Web protocols like HTTP, Gopher or Gemini

Hahahaha 😆

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Not hard. Best to probably archive your old feed I think 🤔

@devangdave@twtxt.net Hello! 👋

@algorifer@twtxt.net Hello! 👋

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk Love the new Avatar 😅

@darch@neotxt.dk Maybe he just means the way we represent things on the UI? 🤔

@justamoment@twtxt.net Yeah it’s really fucking annoying 😡 Figuring out how to convince Chrome to stop offering or actually opening the Teams or Slack desktop apps though is equally painful 🤦‍♂️

@akoizumi@kyoko.nerdpol.ovh I don’t have a choice 😆

How to stop teams from opening the app from the browser ? - Microsoft Community <– This is insane, Any MS Teams users around? 🤔 How the hell do I disable this !@#$!23 🤬 automatic open in desktop app behaviour?! 🤦‍♂️

@taigrr@ndl.taigrr.com Haha! 😅 I didn’t even know you could subscribe to your Github Notifications via RSS? 🤔

Hello World! 😊
