Kids are great. You can teach them to hate what you hate and, with the Internet and all, they practically raise themselves.

In-reply-to » I say, weird. Not much different to the Australian Federal Police hitting the Canberra demonstration crowd for first time in our history, a peaceful gathering of over 10,000 people with 5G Crowd dispersal machine, burning the crap inside of dozens. They complained of headaches, erupted blood vessels, and bleeding to the face, lack of breath, etc.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net 5G? See: https://amp.abc.net.au/article/100839612

In-reply-to » Trying this weird artstyle now. People elsewhere are already calling it confusing, so feedback appreciated - I guess. 😄 Media

Nah, squirrel eyes are more on the side, and their ears shape is different. The cheeks are the ones that might give someone the idea it might be a squirrel. But when you have killed as many squirrels as I have, you know the difference.

In-reply-to » I have a challenge for y'all.

@prologic@twtxt.net nah, we pay people to do that for us. LOL. In all honesty, I wouldn’t know where to start, as I haven’t deal with hardware for over 15 years. Once you have locked in the hardware, what are you using, software wise? Or are you speccing hardware that comes with its own software solution?

@prologic@twtxt.net well, that leaves no space for further discussion. I tell my wife the same about food when she cooks: no matter how delicious the meal might be, if it doesn’t pass the “eyes test” it is going to be hard to even try it. It happens with everything. I mean, often we pursue the good looking person, to later find it shallow, but we sure enjoy the good looking stage for bit! 😂

In-reply-to » How misinformation work? "Repetition, alignment with prior beliefs, and hearing from trusted sources are factors that correlate with more belief in information, regardless of its truth. Those who are more likely to believe specifically in falsehoods in general lack critical thinking skills, and digital and media literacy." — YouTube, "The Psychology of Misinformation" Media

@prologic@twtxt.net of course! “There is, unfortunately, a huge market demand for disinformation, […] and a lot of places across the ecosystem that are more than willing to fill that demand.” If you can access, read this article from The New York Times titled “Disinformation for Hire, a Shadow Industry, Is Quietly Booming”.

In-reply-to » Added some form of "User Count" to Yarn.social's landing page 👌

@eaplmx@twtxt.net what would “Hispanic content” be? We need to start by defining that. If all you meant was having one in which Spanish speaking people congregates, then you are a suitable candidate to spin one up. 😂 Now, I have my reservations with that. I wouldn’t want to peer, nor follow anyone from a Spanish speaking pod (and I know the language!). I am sure others will want it less.

For as much as some may hate it, English is, mostly, the language of the Internet. Maybe in a few years from now will be Mandarin, but I doubt it. The Chinese are learning English in mass.

In-reply-to » @fastidious I got this perfect. Now, I am not sure why do I have to explicitly mention you, since when I hit reply that should be happening behind the curtains, right @prologic? Anyway, let us see if you get this reply.

@prologic@twtxt.net having it do both both would be the safest, for cases like this. If I hit reply, then the nick where that reply button was hit should be a mention. If I simply click on the post box, without reply, then it is only the subject, without no specific mention. We can discuss about this later.

In-reply-to » @homer I tried this many times yesterday, and it was a hit or miss, but I was told it is fixed now, so here I am trying again. Please mention me on your reply.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com I got this perfect. Now, I am not sure why do I have to explicitly mention you, since when I hit reply that should be happening behind the curtains, right @prologic@twtxt.net? Anyway, let us see if you get this reply.

In-reply-to » @fastidious can you see this at your end? I am now using @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> to see if you are WebMentioned.

And again, nope, this is not working. So, @prologic@twtxt.net, WebMentions are not working between our two pods, when they should unless you are running a version with WebMentions disabled, or vice versa. I noticed our pods versions are different. I am running the latest from master.

In-reply-to » @fastidious this is the test number two. I am using the short mention to see if you see it. Next test will be to use the "old style" of mentioning to see what happens.

Again, nothing is being seeing on Arrakis. Now I will use a full mention, old style, and see how it goes.

In-reply-to » @fastidious do you get this? I know you are not following me, but if WebMentions are working fine, you should see this. Next test is me unfollowing you as well, so we will be two complete strangers to each other.

OK, so this was not seeing on the Arrakis pod. I will unfollow Fastidious now, and repeat this test again to see what happens.

In-reply-to » Enjoying this herbal milk tea with ginseng and something called "tongkat ali". No idea what that is, but it tastes good!

Tongkat ali is “intended to improve libido, energy, sports performance and weight loss”. The linked journal also states that “may be an effective approach to shielding the body from the detrimental effects of “modern” chronic stress, which may include general day-to-day stress, as well as the stress of dieting, sleep deprivation, and exercise training”.

More than half of all Asian teas claim the same thing, or similar. The bottomline is exactly how you ended, “it tastes good!” :-)

If this has an impact on ad blocking—and my quick read of it is kind of telling me it does—this has to be very worrisome to all of us. The lawsuit seeks to “dictate that the HTML language used to render a website page should be protected under copyright law—effectively making it illegal for any technology or any consumer to alter a website page appearance.” Oh boy.

In-reply-to » I have heard the pirates off the coast of India are the ones to watch out for.

That’s because you have never encountered Malay pirates. They are the worse! They will take your loot, make you peel potatoes, and dump you in the sea afterwards.

In-reply-to » How does one pronounce twtxt? I assume it's derived from tweet and text but feel like it should sound more like "twitixt" I

I pronounce it as the spelling of each letter (you know, like t w t x t). So, I can’t pronounce it super fast, but hey! 🙈

In-reply-to » @prologic hehe, thanks... Everyone tagged, look to https://twtxt.net/search?tag=c63wwra =P

@eaplmx@twtxt.net so, let me tell how how fork is to be used, before the Yarn Police comes around, and write you an infraction. A fork is used when the reply twt you are about to write goes astray from the main topic of conversation. That’s it!

Now, fork can also be used when you want to reply to someone, and you want your reply leaving no doubt which twt you are replying to. This easily applies to long, to very long, yarns. If you have any questions let me know!

In-reply-to » Ok, I found what's going on with twtxt.net. If I use the upper Textbox it works (it's inserting there the Twt code, like #45lcr2a, and the user.

Actually, I think you just found a bug. I am bringing this to @prologic@twtxt.net’s attention. If you are in a yarn, and click/tap the reply icon/link, it doesn’t mention the nick. It should.

In-reply-to » This on a local church wall. I wonder what kind of trash awaits for the poor fools of 2093. Media

@prologic@twtxt.net both good questions. On the first, I will not be alive (thus the reason why I need to find that silly sledgehammer; where did I put that thing?). On the second, I highly doubt it, but see my answer to the first. :-P

In-reply-to » 🥳 NEW: Several new features are in master right now, waiting to be released for the upcoming yarnd v0.12. I was going to release today, but I'd rather hold off for an extra day in case there are any niggling issues.

@prologic@twtxt.net will update within a few, just waking up. Will test throughout the day and report of anything around you waking up time.
