I hate reading translations. Hereâs an example why: the same passage of the English and the Portuguese translation of the same (French) book.

I bet there is someone who wrote a paper, a book or something about the impact of the death of MySpace on music projects. Iâm saying this more or less hoping that someone will one day point me to one, Iâd love to read it. What I know is that lately I have been revisiting my record collection and confirming that there is an enormous amount of recording artists and projects that started with the MySpace phenomenon, and ended with MySpaceâs death.

«The judge considered that, despite Renault Portugal having claimed the company and brand has no means to block the vehicles, it was proved that âthere is a computer platform that was activated, in a way not disclosed, and through which was operated first the blocking and then the unblocking of the batteriesâ.»
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I donât really know. Hereâs a concerning quote:
«A juĂza considerou que, apesar de a Renault Portugal ter garantido que a empresa e a marca nĂŁo tinham meios para bloquear as viaturas, se fez prova de que âhĂĄ uma plataforma informĂĄtica que foi accionada, de forma que as requeridas nĂŁo concretizaram, e atravĂ©s da qual foi operado primeiro o bloqueio e depois o desbloqueio das bateriasâ.»
Renault has a remote locking âfeatureâ on the batteries of their electric cars. They used it in Portugal, and that was considered illegal.

A closed, proprietary standard was accepted, adopted, and has been in use for decates. TETRA, for encrypted radio communications, has been in use for more than a quarter of century.

It has been a long time coming (ten years since book 11!), but 2023 saw the release of book 12 of âPiracy Is Liberationâ. With it, I also ordered CBAâs vol. 58, entitled âModern Glossalia or The Erosion Of Meaningâ, which focuses (or at lease includes) a reflection of the growth of the extreme right, and their uses of language.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci where they now say they use it to train their AI models thry used to say âfor language modelsâ, which isnât all that different (possibly extending the scope from text to images, audio and video?).
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci To be fair, it was already codified there. What is more interesting (to me) is how theyâre using a privacy policy (binding their users) in an attempt to get implicit licensing over materials out of the scope of those services, both from their users and others (or of authors unknown). Not that it matters much, I bet theyâd argue such license is unneeded, but the fact that they decided to have that wording there makes me curious about the legal basis of such clause. Yes, I know Goggle had an extensive and capable legal team, but Iâd still love seeing a legal analysis of the applicability of that under various jurisdictions.

@prologic@twtxt.net I like that the information is there to help those reading the feed - automatically (with a client) or manually.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org from my POV, both approaches achieve the same, and Iâd be happy to see one or the other on yarn generated feeds.
AFAIK, the only way is to use yarnc
, but I do believe it is important that the web interface has an easy way for people to delete one of their twts, and just created a feature request.

um poema censurado para o dia do livro, em ante-véspera do 25 de abril:
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net hereâs the same prompt on craiyon.com, no retries:
Tomorrow is âRecord Store Dayâ, a date that I have been feeling as yearly losing its purpose, now focused on the US and UK markets, markets, with a focus on commercialism. Today I read FLURâs newsletter - a Portuguese record store that this year decided not to celebrate RSD, with an extraordinarily well articulated text on what is wrong with RSD (and the âvinyl indistryâ) lately. A shame the text isnât published somewhere.
@prologic@twtxt.net It works for meâŠ
@prologic@twtxt.net it is collected, we just donât know exactly what, how, where, what for or how long. A slightly tangential but good read about fitbitâs data collection here.
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, or any fitbit⊠measuring the heartrate is easy and cheap, and depending on the accuracy level it can be as cheap as⊠well, PPG, and any phone with a camera and flashlight can do it. But only yesterday I connected the dots on my mind regarding the sort (and potential uses) of the data being collected as soon as someone tries out a new band or watch.
More about this: In letter to EU, open source bodies say Cyber Resilience Act could have âchilling effectâ on software development
Did you know that âHeartbeat biometric identification is considered to be very accurate and at a similar level to fingerprints or retina recognitionâ? Food for thought.
The old kindle story of digital burning of Fahrenheit 451 had already shown the perils of using e-book platforms, but the recent IA lawsuit has highlighted a graver danger: with one click, in an instant and without anyone knowing, a vendor can (and does) âupdateâ a book. It is not that new issues of Agatha Christieâs books will be sold âmoderizedâ it is that suddenly you cannot go to your library and find an old/original version. Chilling.

and other clients? đ€ Thinking about (and talking with @xuu on IRC) about the possibility of rewriting a completely new spec (no extensions). Proposed name yarn.txt
or "Yarn". Compatibility would remain with Twtxt in the sense that we wouldn't break anything per se, but we'd divorce ourselves from Twtxt and be free to improve based on the needs of the community and not the ideals of those that don't use, contribute in the first place or fixate on nostalgia (which doesn't really help anyone).
I am against the original idea of forking twtxt.txt into yarn.txt unless I see any technical reason or feature that would justify breaking compatibility - so far I donât see one. But I agree in principle with @darch@neotxt.dk that maybe we can add something on the metadata of the feeds enumerating the extensions we use or⊠I donât know, something that will allow any twtxt user to know how to deal with any âyarnismsâ in the content of our twts (even if the only one that comes to my mind as needing explanation is the thread hashes - how to interpret them).
Today, Ubuntu decided to change the default browser in one of my machines. Again :rolleyes:
@darch@twtxt.net case in point, I used to twtxt images before using yarn or markdown tp do it - and markdown isnât making twts like this any less readible.
@prologic@twtxt.net Iâd actually not replace it with newlines but with a space or something like that, so thereâs nothing breaking (twtxt output parsers or whatever, expecting only one line per twt).
@prologic@twtxt.net What I take out from this log is that buckets client is truncating twts when seeing one of those characters you use for newline: a PR fixing that should suffice. As for the rest, I see twtxt as meant to be a readable format, and I think yarn is not messing with that. Is someone doesnât like yarnâs writing style (or anything else on any other feed) they can simply not follow them. I see no reason at all for yarn to change its underlying format away from twtxt.
@prologic@twtxt.net the other still doesnât work for me, but this one does
@prologic@twtxt.net I probably would not use an yarn.social client/app that didnât deal with twtxt (text) feeds - both âfollowâ them and âpublishâ them. But I suppose that it is possible to have a bidirectional converter between that json format and twtxt.
