@prologic@twtxt.net ha! If you lived in the lightning capital of the US you would do it too! 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it seems you don’t have a decent UPS with surge protection. Invest in one! We have one everywhere there is a constantly-used valuable appliance in the house, including refrigerator.

Thank you very much, everyone!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ay ay ay ay ay! Don’t envy a bit on that one. I assume the software you are forced to use is proprietary, and very specific?

@prologic@twtxt.net thanks mate! I am trying to isolate, wearing masks at home, and washing hands constantly, to see if kid can be spared.

I am supposed to come to office today, but I have caught the same cold bug wife has had for the last three days, so I am staying remote to spare cube-mates. Nose stuck, dripping, and a general slight sense of malaise is what I am feeling right now.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de we had one of those at the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was sent home. It truly was painful. Now we are having another university to evaluate our processes, and procedures; not much security based, but still a pain.

@prologic@twtxt.net that would only be logical! :-)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com two years after! LOL. Also, I put down $50 (USD) that OP will never see these replies. The one you replied to used the gemini protocol, and I don’t think it is up on its end. OP last twtxt was 2023-01-04T10:40:10+01:00: https://jdtron.tilde.team/twtxt.txt

Never mind, figured out that yarnc post - is the way to do it. Thanks code!

Can I use yarnc to post directly to twtxt.net from the terminal? Let’s see. Aha! I can. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net, how do I post from the terminal, using yarnc non-interactively? Tried something like:

echo "This is a test." | yarnc post

And it didn’t work—it seems it wants to open an editor.

@prologic@twtxt.net and I believe he is an “Open Web Lead” at Automatic, and working on the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress. The theme he uses is his own. Anyway, moving on…

Just found a pleasant way to wade through meetings: listening to Puccini’s “La Bohème”. Glorious!

@prologic@twtxt.net a thing, a thing! I mean, the amount of information the OP brought speaks for itself, right, right? 🫢😅

@prologic@twtxt.net “it’s a thing!” 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is all in the context. When referring to computers, if the person uses Microsoft Windows, then colloquially the user “is on Windows”, for example.

For PowerPoint is simpler, as nothing else is called that way, nor have the same spelling. But yeah, similar to “gonna grab a Coke”. It is intrinsically embedded in the language.

Google:

I often wonder what it must be like for native English speakers to use all these so-called brand names. “I use window 11! This is a KraftPoint presentation. I got the code for this script from the idiot turnstile.” All that sort of thing.

🤣🤣🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure the same as for non-native. LOL. All translation services are doing a poor job at translating your twtxt. 😭

Absolutely lovely. 🫢

@mckinley@twtxt.net not a problem, but I don’t want to see it. When I get to see it constantly, without following it, then it becomes a problem. Blogs being echo chambers do not bother. They don’t “come to me”. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahaha! Accurate, 100%. 😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pfff, your code is “break-proof”! All looking good, so far. 😊

I have been up, and ready to go for hours. Partner is still in bed. She takes such a long time to wake up on weekends! Past noon already, and we need to get food for the elders, and come back to tidy up things to get ready for the next weekly cycle.

Ugh! Where did the weekend go?!

@dfaria@twtxt.net well, your “original twtxt” is an example of anything, but social. It is more like an echo chamber. If I am going to follow someone, I seek interaction. Language isn’t a barrier, lack of engagement is.

@prologic@twtxt.net is that the one that hit you in the shin? 😬

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com a bit on the tangent, what font is that one on your screenshot?

@prologic@twtxt.net I noticed you were using the mobile app. Such a brave soul! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net it makes absolute sense for a Yarn.social user. I propose the following formatting change:

WARNING:

You are about to follow a legacy feed, which may not have any kind of engagement. Do you want to continue?

@prologic@twtxt.net doesn’t UTF-8 covers Arabic as well?

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think so:

2023-09-02T17:30:15Z Hi! I’ll be microblogging from ciberlandia.pt from now on. What does that mean? If you want to follow me via mastodon you can, at @marado@twtxt.net , if you want to follow me via twtxt you can keep following me via at https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt . See you on the “other side”!

@prologic@twtxt.net well, I think OP mother tongue isn’t English, so certainly not an encoding I might be familiar with.

I use 1Password, and iCloud Passwords. I had migrated from 1P to iCloud, but ran into issues that forced me to continue with 1P. I pay for a family plan on 1Password.

I have checked the raw feed, and “spurious” characters are still making its way to it. Maybe something to do with locale, or keyboard?

@prologic@twtxt.net haven’t seeing a cleaner timeline for two, or three years. Excellent job! I will ping this yarn if I come across any candidate.

Welcome to the hole! I have been on a down spiral fall since, hmm, let’s say 1970. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net “by chance”. LOL.

Sounds good. Yarn doesn’t have mobile app right now, so having a clean, decent one, would help. I will leave the UI/UX design to the contractor, trusting his taste, and good judgement. :-)

I don’t consider search that important. If it will be the same as it is on Yarn web now, then it isn’t worth much, or at all.

I think he might have a hard time knowing there is a reply, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Then replying will become the next ordeal. Starting friction is strong on twtxt. That’s where Yarn excelled.

@prologic@twtxt.net I know it is often those who can’t code the ones more vocal. As I endeavour to improve my overall behaviour, and approach to all things in life, please know that I am grateful for what you have done, and continue to do, on Yarn.

From Libera’s #crypto channel, “Cryptography theory and practice, not cryptocurrency (try ##altcoins – or better yet, just don’t)”. Hahahahahaha!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yarn’s caching is the bane of an otherwise decent thing. Wish it was sqlite driven, or something like it. No caching, just “there”. 🤣

Testing 1… 2… 3…

Hmm… are replies broken?

For some reason I can’t reply to the original twt (https://twtxt.net/twt/lwb53ba). Deleted?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if you are referring to Adobe (I had to go check Johan’s raw feed), I don’t think many other do digital signatures, and deal with fill-in forms. I have a Windows VDI at work for two exclusive purposes: Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat. LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net let me give you my very personal advice, using the Queen’s language: stay away from all cryptocurrency shit. 🤣

The kick is, if you want to borrow money, all interests are super high (10%+). You can’t “borrow to invest ” in a savings account.

@prologic@twtxt.net Goldman Sachs, through Apple, is giving 4.4% on $100K (minimum). Four months rolling CDs in our bank are giving up to 5.10% on $50K, and up. Government treasure bills are around that, some a little less, some a little more.

@prologic@twtxt.net now you are trolling. LOL. Highest savings (or CDs) around here renders around 5%. No one is going to lend you money at that interest rate, or less, like, ever.
