@stigatle I guess we all have our “things” we spend 1000s of hours on 😂

So what did we decide with Unicode feed/user names and nicks? 🤔 Too hard? 🤔

@stigatle That look cool 😎 – Way over my head though 😂

@lyse That is Soo cool ❄️☃️

@fastidious From the many attempts and investigations I’ve seen over the past day I would have to agree 😆

@lyse Very cool! 😍

Hmmm not sure 🤔

Hmmm 🤔

@lyse Actually seems to have worked okay even from the mobile app 😳

@lyse Cool! 👌

@movq Yeah we should try to support this 😁

@fastidious does make a good point 😁

I think so. Have we ironed out all the bugs? 🤔

Hey @fox Welcome 🤗

@fastidious Holy smokes! 😳

@thecanine Talk to @ullarah @darch and @fastidious 😅 I’m no good with UI/UX and I think these guys own the UX space right now 🤣

@thecanine Oh I see 🤔

@thecanine

Oh my 🤦‍♂️ Heaven forbid people should have different opinions oh my 😳 😆

@thecanine

@thecanine I agree 👌 It does look great 🤣 And fortunately @laz can preserve it as a proper first-class theme and just set the -t/--theme option on his pod 😅

@ullarah But it also kind of sounds like “Moderator” 😢 🤣 – Which is btw something that’ll hopefully never happen on Yarn.social 😅

@ullarah I like it 😂

@ocdtrekkie This sadly very true. There is a technical term for this I think – Apathy? It comes in all forms. So many in the world and society at large are just blinded by the rubbish that’s thrown at them and there is a distinct lack of “critical thinking” and “common sense”.

But… We have to try…

@eldersnake Right! 😅

I would like to propose that we form new nouns:

• Pod Operator – Someone that operates one or mods Yarn.social pods.
  
• A Yarner – Someone that uses a Yarn.social pod or compatible client to participate in Yarns.
  

I’d really like to avoid us referring to things as “Owner”, “User”, “Administrator” and so on 😅

@eldersnake Yeah that’s exactly right. Gab.social is using Mastodon. The only other thing I know about Gab is they got themselves banned internally at the Mastodon codebase level as a hardcoded ban (I don’t recall why or the details).

But yeah I agree with you, it must be about having total control. Plus if you’re just going to use your “Users” as your “Product” this is a recipe for disaster 🤦‍♂️

</jokes> / </sarcasm> 😂

If Trump really truly wants a Social Media where even the likes of his views and ideals won’t get him banned, he should fund Yarn.social 😅 Of course he won’t like it because it doesn’t mean anyone will follow him or like him or believe in whatever ideals he wants to pedal. It just won’t be the platform for his soapbox 😂

@eldersnake And I’m willing to bet that it will be just as polarizing, driven by “edgagement” and suffer from the same types of problems plagues by “echo chambers”. They’ll have to come up with all kinds of crazy ass policies to “police” their platform and end up in exactly the same situation that caused Trump’s ban from Twitter and Facebook in the first place.

They will eventually be hypocrites. I can’t wait!

/me bring on the popcorn

🍿 🍿 🍿

OMFG 😳

How about this mother fuckers!

DO NOT TRACK literally means DO NOT TRACK me!

How hard is it? Do we not understand the words:

• Do Not
  
• Track
  

Why is this so hard to understand? What’s there to be confused about? What’s there to have “consensus” over? Seriously 🤦‍♂️

@eldersnake So in other words, another privacy eroding piece of garbage that users their “users” as the product, selling their “data” and “metadata” to advertising to profit off of and shove advertisements down people’s throats 😳 – When are we going to learn as a society that this kind of Business Model is utterly broken, and *especially Social Media done this way leads to all kinds of problems (the evidence speaks for itself) 🤦‍♂️

Mr Trump’s firm said it had secured the $1bn from from “a diverse group of institutional investors” without revealing who they were

Read: From a group of right-wing nutbags who have too much money on their dirty grubby hands 😂

Trump social media firm says it has raised $1bn - BBC News

How da fuq?! 😳 How do you raise so much money for the most stupid idiotic thing ever?!

Mr Trump announced plans to launch Truth Social earlier this year, saying it would allow conversation “without discrimination on the basis of political ideology”.

Bahahahahahahaha 😂 I’ll believe this when I see it (of course I will never join! 😅 so I’ll never know if true or just utter bullshit! 🤣)

FYI @eldersnake You may have another fellow aussie join your We 💚 Privacy Club pod soon 😅

@eldersnake

Got that UPS in the nick of time then!

Yup 🤣 – Although based on the last storm we had a few day ago, there isn’t a lot I can do about the stupid NBN Node losing power or the fucking Coppy last-mile VDSL bulshit get affected by static and interference 😢

@fastidious And we’re in “Storm Season” and in La Niña phase II think?) so that means lots of floods, storms and damage 🤣

@fastidious So the regex just needs to be updated to support Unicode and to have the same set of rules, namely:

• Must start with a letter – Even if that letter is in another language
  
• Must only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes
  
• Must be no longer than 15 characters long
  

I’m sure we can make this happen and support Username/Feed names in other languages! 😅 👌

That’s two cryptocurrency heists in one week!

Grand theft bits!

😂

@fastidious In that case then, let’s explore this…

Some questions:

• Will most file systems handle this okay as the feed’s filename and avatar filenames?
  
• Is this supported in the URI spec so URLs for feeds will still work?
  
• anything else I might be missing? 🤔
  

Someone willing to muck with the regex and give this a go? 😂

From IRC:

[10:02:05] Quark coughs softly.
[10:03:18] Quark taps the mike. "Hello" (hello echoes) "Testing, 1, 2, 3" (screeching feedback is heard).
[10:27:20]  <prologic> Hello!
[10:27:21]  <prologic> :D
[10:27:28] prologic pretending to do work here
[10:27:29]  <prologic> ;)
[10:27:36]  <Quark> :-)
[10:29:33]  <Quark> For v1.0, it would be nice to have the inject working, and perhaps the new timeline, and some UI/UX refinaments, maybe? Of course, nothing is holding off that slight bump, anyway.
[10:30:12]  <prologic> I agree
[10:30:18]  <prologic> And if that's what we want to do then let's do it
[10:30:22]  <prologic> We can create a v1 milestone
[10:30:30]  <prologic> And come up with a list of things we want to see before we do a v1 release
[10:30:39]  <prologic> I'm fine with that, in fact that's a good thing 👌

Also @laz is sadly 5 versions behind 😅

tt.vltra.plus            0.4.1@b946ddb

And I don’t know how I missed @meff 🤦‍♂️ Sorry mate! 🤗

yarn.meff.me             0.7.2@a4ee171

I should just check the tool when I make these announcements 😂

@fastidious What did you mean them? 🤔 I think you’re missing my point also 😂

Issues will always exist at one time or another…

My point is that; since we use semantic versioning and “master is green” models, there is no reason not to release v1 👌

@fastidious cc @ullarah 😁

@meff Oh you run yarnd too? 🤔 How did I miss that 🤦‍♂️

@eldersnake Lovely 👌

@eldersnake Wow! 😳 Probably a JS bug in the V8 engine 😂

@fastidious thanks! 🙇‍♂️

@off_grid_living Nice! 👌

but I ran out of nails. bother

Don’t you always over-engineer and over-buy 😂

cc all our current Pod Owner/Operators around the globe! @xuu @jlj @fastidious @lazarus @ullarah @lohn @eldersnake (did I miss anyone? 🤔)

Also @fastidious – There is no reason whatsoever we can’t release yarnd v1.0 now. We are not making any backwards incompatible changes whatsoever, and in fact I don’t really like building software that breaks the world anyway (I try really hard. not to). So we can release v1 – Maybe as a #2021 Xmas present to us all 😅

Sorry I couldn’t be bothered finding the Twt and replying to that Yarn 😂
