In-reply-to » Ich frag’ mich schon oft, wie das für die englischen Muttersprachler sein muss, all diese sogenannten Markennamen zu benutzen. „Ich benutze Fenster 11! Das hier ist eine KraftPunkt-Präsentation. Den Kode für dieses Skript habe ich vom Deppendrehkreuz.“ All sowas. 🤔

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. 😭

In-reply-to » @bender Standard twtxt is a microblog in its purest form. A blog, but smaller. It's just a list of posts to read, and that's an echochamber in the same way my regular blog is an echochamber. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

@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

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?!

In-reply-to » @prologic Your position doesn't make any sense: it's closing down and arbitrarily limiting the use of the Twtxt protocol. One more reason not to use https://twtxt.net/

@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.

In-reply-to » @bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of: Media I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.

@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?

In-reply-to » Bitwarden is truly excellent. Highly recommend

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.

In-reply-to » Now I'm about to do something that May...be... stupid, I'm no dev but I'll try and replace the U+201 in the script with a space and see what happens ...

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

In-reply-to » Been clearing out my pod a bit and blocking unwanted domains that are basically either a) just noise and/or b) are just 1-way (whose authors never reply or are otherwise unaware of the larger ecosystem)

@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.

In-reply-to » @pratikbaid3 is looking for a few small projects to add to his contractor/freelance CV and has reached out to me to see if he could do a bit of work on the Yarn.social mobile app. He's done work before in the past and has done a pretty decent job.

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.

In-reply-to » @bender Agree maybe it's time to rethink the data stored here, I've been leaning towards this anyway over the past year or so.

@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.

In-reply-to » Not having a great experience with Acrobat Reader. What the heck is Adobe trying to achieve with all of these popups and annoyances?

@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.

In-reply-to » Why don't more people borrow to invest and increase their portfolio and wealth? 🤔

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.

In-reply-to » Why don't more people borrow to invest and increase their portfolio and wealth? 🤔

@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.

In-reply-to » @prologic well, when you buy property you are obtaining something tangible, guaranteed. When you bet on the market (I am assuming that's what you meant by investing), you are not guaranteed.

@prologic@twtxt.net can you be more specific? Arguably, borrowing to buy real estate might be worth it. Buying a successful, established, business might be worth it. Both are incoming producing assets.

In-reply-to » Made this awful mistake of not doing pre-prep work before going away on our next camper trip (now). Discovered this morning that some (idiot) person had turned off the power to the camper trailer and the battery was basically dead. I just hope it's not "dead dead". We plan to leave after 4hrs of Bulk Charge from the mains power and it's internal battery charger and hope for the best. I'm also brining a spare 12.8V LifePo4 battery that is basically full to power the fridge, just in case. Fark I'm an idiot 🤦‍♂️

So, all worked out fine at the end, I gather? 🥳

In-reply-to » I've gathers my ideas about mentions for twtxt/yarn here: Webmentions vs. custom mentions spec for twtxt/yarn - HedgeDoc You are welcome to edit and comment in the doc, so our ideas are not fragment into a bunch of treads

@sorenpeter@darch.dk something is amiss. We can’t see the feedback you are referring about (nor you are telling what it was). That is, unless you are talking about a feedback received elsewhere, and simply referring to it here (but, again, not mentioning what it was).

In-reply-to » Microsoft’s new era of AI PCs will need a Copilot key, says Intel Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and AMD have all been pushing the idea of an “AI PC” for months now as we head toward more AI-powered features in Windows. While we’re still waiting to hear the finer details from Microsoft on its big plans for AI in Windows, Intel has started sharing Microsoft’s requirements for OEMs to build an AI PC — and one of the main ones is that an AI PC must have Microsoft’s Copilot ... ⌘ Read more

@mckinley@twtxt.net which one would you call a legacy operating system? If referring to a previous Microsoft Windows OS, it will not be legacy for long. Granted, it might during our lifetime, but I tend to look (and often worry) a bit further.

In-reply-to » @bender These are not beinged pull via ActivityPub. I disabled the integration long ago myself on my pod. There is a Mastodon instance or two out there that serves up Twtxt feeds. Someone my pod has subscribed to those, I think that's what's happening here...

@prologic@twtxt.net yup, that is, sadly, what’s happening. It is making the “discover” worthless for my (and @mckinley@twtxt.net) use case.
