In-reply-to » @xuu, how come I can't see your lovely mouse avatar on my pod? I know you might not have an answer; I am puzzled, and mostly thinking on loud voice here. I see your avatar fine at twtxt.net.

Not sure really? i see your Joker image fine on my end.

In-reply-to » I saw the allegedly animated GIF @thecanine uploaded gets a PNG extension, yet remains animated. I know PNG can be made animated, but I don't think that's what's happening here, so I am puzzled. Let's see how this Nyam cat looks like. Media

What if i told you for a browser it doesn’t matter what the extension is.. it will use the file magic mime value instead.

In-reply-to » Jerome Powell Says the Fed is Prepared To Raise Rates To Tame Inflation Jerome H. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, told lawmakers on Tuesday that a rapidly healing economy no longer needed as much help from the central bank and that keeping inflation in check -- including by raising interest rates -- would be critical for enabling a stable expansion that benefits workers. From a report: Mr. Powell, ... ⌘ Read more

inflation benefits the debtor at the expense of the creditor. The real danger is deflation.

In-reply-to » You're right @ullarah I just watched Australia Post Outrage: Did She Need To Go? and I do believe I'll start adding this to my "watchlist" -- I don't use Youtube specifically (because privacy eroding garbage); but the content this guy produces is awesome! 👌

I have uBlockOrigin on desktop and https://vancedapp.com/ on android. I never see ads on YouTube.

On SmartTV however this would be a nice addition.

I believe the selling point is to “mobile optimize” the page and send it to the browser faster than over mobile network direct.. But yes you are giving them the keys to your kingdom.

I remember similar things back in dialup days where your ISP would proxy things to you and supercompress the images.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.

A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.

With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.

In-reply-to » Web3 is a scam. Case in point. The complexity of systems increasing the points of failure. From this article.

The complexity is a feature. It means standards can be replaced with products that let providers get their cut. It means putting data into the slowest most expensive database in cost and enviromnmental impact.

So the evolution of my nick is as follows. I had a bicycle that had the word Zephyr written on it. Which means a western wind. That is related to the Greek god Zephyrus.

I liked words where X make a Z sound. And also had a bit of dyslexia so my firs IRC nick was Xypher swapping the y and e.. I would also use the forms Xypherius or just Xypheri.

Because its close hemming to Cypher I found the nick would get used by others.. Though that is not my origin.

Later I would sign websites I created as The X-Urban Underground (where X was short for Xypher) and that evolved to xuu. Pronounced like zoo.

In-reply-to » @lyse Me when I find myself crossing an international border, close to midnight, using free bus WiFi, spammed by messages from people, telling me that the server hosting my web-apps is down. 😂 *Only happened once so far

@thecanine@twtxt.net been there a few times! Thank goodness for mosh for when trying to debug from spotty GSM connection and having ssh drop out every few minutes.

In-reply-to » 🤔 👋 Reconsidering moving Yarn.social's development back to Github: Speaking of which (I do not forget); @fastidious and I were discussing over a video call two nights ago, as well as @lyse who joined a bit later, about the the whole moved of all of my projects and their source code off of Github. Whilst some folks do understand and appreciate my utter disgust over what Microsoft and Copilot did by blatantly scraping open source software's codebases without even so much as any attempt at attribution or respecting the licenes of many (if not all?) open source projects.

No on gitlab. If its self hosted gitea is best in class.

I can see hosting a mirror on github if only for the redundancy/visibility. Some projects will host but then direct contributions on their self host. Like Go does.

I would suggest using a vanity domain that can redirect tools like go get to hosting of choice. And not require rewriting all the packages any time it gets moved.

In-reply-to » 👋 Q&A: Let's discuss the removal of Editing and Deleting your last Twt. This is something @fastidious has raised to me on IRC and something I find quite a valid approach to this. Over time I believe the utility and value of "Editing" and "Deleting" one's last Twt isn't as valuable as we'd like and increased complexity and introduces all kinds of side-effects that are hard to manage correctly. I vote for the removal of this feature from yarnd, the mobile app nor API support this anyway...

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i believe the delete of any twt was a tech limitation with retwt parser not knowing where in the file a twt came from. lextwt tracks the bytes in file where a twt was read from. which could be used to delete a twt from file.. in theory.
