@bender@twtxt.net Nope. Trust me I do not. The only time I do is when I’m reading/writing. I otherwise have no inner monologue when doing anything.

@arne@uplegger.eu This is interesting. Sorry I missed this, I just found this post of yours and wanted to contribute 😅 Here’s something interesting about me… I don’t ever talk to myself, like ever. I have no, what they call, “inner monologue”. Maybe I’m odd, but my wife asked me this very same question a while back and I said the same, there is never anything in my head except ideas, visuals or sounds, sometimes all at once, but never an inner monologue of “talking to myself”.

Is it the fact that “big tech” companies have basically stolen all of human knowledge to their benefit to build these AI(s) that’s the problem? Or is it that these AI(s) can write code better than you can (some of the time)? Or is it that because of all of the above, there’s no joy left in writing code anymore? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m very curious…

What I like about this whole computer stuff is that you can explore how
things work. You can dig through problems and solve them. Nothing is
more satisfying than finally understanding something after you scratched
your head for some hours.

Surely you could do the same with AI? Tinker with how it works, study it, understand it, build your own and realize what it really is (without all the big tech hype)?

@bender@twtxt.net I have no idea. Probably busy with life ya’know 😅 I’m just as guilty myself.

@bender@twtxt.net If you break it, I will fix it 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I have no time for simple pleasures anymore 😳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Are you able to set a level of standards and expectations in the repo you are the maintainer of? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What are you going to do about this? 🧐

Good Morning 👋

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com LOl 🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Very nice 👍

@kiwu@twtxt.net Whoohoo! Congrats!!! 🙌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de are you sure it’s the browser is getting slow or is it website developers adding more more crap to their sites?

@tftp@tilde.town Hello 👋

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool! reminds me of MS-DOS and Norton Commander back in the ye ‘ol days 😅

@kiwu@twtxt.net Doing well thank you! 🙏 Playing the Brisbane Open this weekend, Table Tennis 🏓

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, but my description is more accurate 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I believe it’s been money well spent if I’m to be honest. It’s a great “get away” and “adventure” for not just myself but the family too. Getting away from it all, experiencing nature and what this wonderful country has to offer is pretty nice 👍 As long as we keep up the adventures over the long time, use it several times a year, it will be very well wroth the investment 👌

On the weekend just gone we also visited Twin Falls, which was absolutely magnificent!

@bender@twtxt.net Natural Brisge lol 🤣

Natural Bridge

@movq@www.uninformativ.de here here 🙌

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net yarnd/*

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very cool! 😎 Love that little birdy in the video too 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Well I’m open to ideas of course 😅 My goal here was to build something like a Civ-1 inspired game that’s playable online and multiplayer. Do you remember this old bad boy that was played on PC(s) on MS-DOS ?! 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Anything I can do to help with getting started with the game? Help page not enougH/ Some “Getting Started” guide? Walk-through? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah !

Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?

I’ll do this for sure!

495 turns and about ~4hrs alter I won! 🙌 Small map, 2-players, myself and an AI player. 😅 – It took forever to beach the island the AI player was on and get enough Galley’s and Swordsmen just to push back and eventually slowly destroy all enemy units and capture all cities! 🤣

@kiwu@twtxt.net Working on my game Frontier Crown – Going to push a new version today hopefully that includes much improved graphics, expanded ruleset and scope.

The auDA, and some 3rd-party identify service and my Registrar are a joke!

WOW! I just had to share this little story I ran into today.

I tried to register a .AU Domain the other day, only for it to instantly fail.

I emailed support, which took several days to respond, only for them to respond by saying (paraphased):

We’re sorry, but the identify checks failed. The 3rd-aprty service doesn’t tell us why, But, please make sure that the ID you used matches the Full Name, including any Middle name(s).

I used my Passport number. Which of course has my First, Middle and Last Name.

I can only assume at this point that the checks failed on the missing “Middle name”. Why? Because the Registrar I use has a database and user interface for “contacts” that only have support for First name and Last name. NO Middle Name.

🤦‍♂️ This is basically stupid at this point. Systems cannot be trusted at the most fundamental level, no matter how good they are.

Until we figure out how to build a system that allows an individual to prove to another entity that they are who they say they are without a shred of doubt (i.e: cryptographically), we’re stuffed.

There is literally nothing I can do in this case. The auDA are at fault. The 3rd-party identify service (unknown) are at fault. The registrar are at fault. Hell, even the Passport office are at fault for even bothering to or requiring a Middle name.

How has “identity” come to this?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Check https://twtxt.dev/clients.html

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I donate to the Signal Foundation for this reason.

Just cancelled my sponsorship of two developers on Github, sorry 😞 – I’m not going to sponsor going forward if no-one else can be bothered to. It seems silly to be the sole sponsor of another’s work or project 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Nah, i’m gonna start a blog for our adventure i think instead 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m afraid my ability to share photos like you do aren’t quite up to scratch 😅

Back home now! 🏡

Hmmm doesn’t appear to be documented 🧐 Nut ly watch reckons i climbed 242m so yhay part is right!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t axtually k ow what the incline was we went up! Haha 😅 Honestly just guessing hmm must be documented somewhere 🧐

that last one is what we walked up I reckon probably a 30 or 40° incline at least 250 m straight up!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! Hers a few more!

Just a couple of shots from our trip to Bald Rock—finally got reception so I can share them!

Merged 👌

There is something about camping with your family and the togetherness and tranguility of being together 🙃

2nd Van trip coming up this weekend, taking Friday off work. Gonna sleep in the Van tonight and see if I can fiddle with the town water supply (basically our outside tap near the Van haha 😆) and see if I can have a shower in the Van, brush my teeth and go to bed 🛌 – Basically I just want to figure out the rest of the plumbing 🪠

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah well I’ve put in an order for a much better quality Ocarina 😅 The one I originally started with was a bit on the “cheap” side. It’s been okay, but the high notes are a bit “meh” (airy).

@bender@twtxt.net 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 Not sure where I’ll find such a costume from, but I’ll ask my girls 🧒

This year for some reason or another, I decided to purchase an Ocarina, I’ve been practising a fair bit every now and again, basically during work breaks and sometimes in the afternoon / evenings (not enough to annoy the family 🤣) Anyhoo, that was 3 months ago, since then I’ve built up a bit of a Repertoire:

• Silent Night
  
• My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
  
• Amazing Grace
  
• O Holy Night
  
• Happy Birthday
  
• Greensleeves
  
• Scarborough Fair
  
• She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain
  

I’ve now decided to purchase a slightly better quality Ocarina, the one I originally bought was a cheap $28 one, I’m now upgrading to a more professional instrument worth about $80 – Wish my luck 🍀

Just learned this nice little life-hack for disconnecting MC4 Solar connectors 👌 Works really well! And I don’t have to buy a special little MC4 assembly tool 🥳

@kiwu@twtxt.net That’s not bad 👌

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Nice one 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! 🙌

And we’re back! 1st test trip 👌

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me https://twtxt.dev/clients.html

Our first test over night trip 🤞

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Yeah the “web” is pretty broken™ right? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes 🙌

yhe sourde code is available so you can inspect it 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is how my SSH proxy setup works.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats! 🥳

Hmm I think it’s a bug in the Javascript. It’s meant to be ![title](url)

Does that work?

today’s mood

I turned off indexing and anonymous access i think? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Lets bend it!

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I never saw the point of a registry to be honest, as it defeated the point of what I believed to be a truly decentralised non-social social ecosystem. What can and does work however is a search engine and crawler. I used to run one, but I took it down, mostly because it got expensive to operate, at least the implementation I built… Maybe one day i’ll try again with a SQLite backend.

What @bender@twtxt.net said ☝️

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me We see and read yout mutterings just fine 😅

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I mean, if you’re talking about a “Follow me” button you can put on your site somewhere and it somehow magically™ works, yeah we haven’t figured out a good way to do this honestly.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Exactly! 👍

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me

Replies aren’t actually broken, I just… need to add myself to the follow list?! That’s quite counter-intuitive and (IIRC) not mentioned in the docs. But… It seems to be working now, which is nice (I still don’t know how webmentions and webfinger works, so can’t speak about this so far)

yarnd (what runs here at twtxt.net) actually does this automatically by default. I think it’s just an implementation detail to be honest. There’s nothing about this in the specs over at https://twtxt.dev

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Haha 😆 I mean I try to, as time poor as I am 🤣 Welcome to our little corner of the Yarniverse as some call it 😅

Wel… It was a very comfortable night’s sleep 😴

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know it’s crazy right 🤯 these things are just tools. They’re not even remotely intelligent at all. In fact they are actually quite stupid. If you feed it garbage you get garbage out! The only interesting thing is that you get somewhat intelligible garbage out 😂

@bender@twtxt.net exactly! 😂

sleeping in my van tonight, which is parked outside the front of our house just as a test from overnight 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear god have we lost our way 🤣 I mean seriously?! Can we no longer think for ourselves? This isn’t even “AI Slop” this is just poor pathetic lack of discipline 🤦‍♂️ – And, frankly, no leadership.

wow! 🤯

@kiwu@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Thank you! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s the plan!

@bender@twtxt.net 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Indeed 😂

We got at our new van!!! 🥳

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You need to use the RFC3339 format. I would recommend you read the specs at https://twtxt.dev – This is what is used by many moden clients these days 😅

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me But I am gad you at least have figured out how to have a feed description and avatar, that’s always nice 👍

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You also minimally need to be calculate message hases at some point, if you want to form threads that is (copying existing ones is easy) 😅

@bender@twtxt.net That’s not what tehy really want at all 🤣

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Hello there 👋

@bender@twtxt.net I see. Well that’s not how I think of the term “Isomorphic” 🤣 I keep thinking about graphics and isomorphic games 😅

@kiwu@twtxt.net Lately… A native mobile app for Salty.im 😅
