kokori’s album “rootkit” is going to be released on CD next month.

This is the album I’m most proud of have having made.

Accepting pre-orders now!

kokori's rootkit CD

I know to which Debian’s release party I’m going to, how about you?

It is not surprising, but still the end of an era: CDBaby will stop selling CDs.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net interesting reading for those who consider CJEU’s stance on metadata retention inconvenient.

@mckinley@twtxt.net went out to see a movie.

@rlafuente@ciberlandia.pt e antena?

@aiscarvalho@ciberlandia.pt Sortuda, a internet hoje só me deu portes grátis…

@willowashmaple@twtxt.net That link seems broken :-(

O que se tira da novela do dia, óbvio mas que ninguém está a apontar: 1) não se usam equipamentos de dados para manter dados privados; 2) usar whatsapp para coisas profissionais, estatais e/ou governamentais é profundamente errado, deve ser criticado e não pode ser normalizado.

SteetComplete, Every Door and Wikimedia Commons: a trio of apps forming the perfect excuse to go out for an healthy walk.

@rlafuente@ciberlandia.pt Great game!

but I lost

Update regarding this: EU Parliament wants to protect Free Software in AI regulation, and “this principle must be anchored in the ongoing Cyber Resilience Act and Product Liability Directive and their upcoming votes.”

@melyanna@tilde.club Cool! too bad your home page announces your mastodon account, but not your twtxt feed.

On an unrelated note, this twt made me open a bug on yarn since apparently hashtags are broken in the ActivityPub integration.

#Greenwashing 101, from #PingoDoce: 1) create your own “ecodesign” stamp; 2) put your “ecodesign” stamp on your products even if they have an obvious use of plastic lids where no plastic would be necessary; 3) profit.

Hulduefni and Merankorii joint album “Synthetic Works” was released on this day, nine years ago.

@prx@si3t.ch did you backtick and execute the code in an attempt to quote it? There seems to be a password where it’s generating code should be!

@BBS@algorave.dk this one is small and effective

Apparently India has started to ban encrypted chat apps like Briar or Matrix client Element.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org cheating or not, now I’m actively resisting writing a “git timeline painter tool”!

O Governo está a preparar-se para começar a fazer asneira com DRM. Esperemos que o bom senso prevaleça.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org There was someone doing an ‘art thing’ with their github contributions graphic a couple of years ago… but I can’t recall who was it to point it out, sorry :-P

Google’s decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats

@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 I’d 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.

“There is no ternary testing operation in Go”, “the language’s designers had seen the operation used too often to create impenetrably complex expressions”.

um poema censurado para o dia do livro, em ante-véspera do 25 de abril:

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net here’s the same prompt on craiyon.com, no retries:

Tomorrow is “Record Store Day”, 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 FLUR’s 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 ‘vinyl indistry’) lately. A shame the text isn’t published somewhere.

BC appeals court handed down a stupid, terrible decision, rejecting whistleblower Linkletter’s defense for linking to freely available materials from the ed-tech surveillance giant Proctorio

@prologic@twtxt.net It works for me…

@prologic@twtxt.net it is collected, we just don’t know exactly what, how, where, what for or how long. A slightly tangential but good read about fitbit’s 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 ‘chilling effect’ on software development

Did you know that “Heartbeat biometric identification is considered to be very accurate and at a similar level to fingerprints or retina recognition”? Food for thought.

Celebrar o quê? Não há planeta B

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) “update” a book. It is not that new issues of Agatha Christie’s books will be sold “moderized” it is that suddenly you cannot go to your library and find an old/original version. Chilling.

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 don’t 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 don’t know, something that will allow any twtxt user to know how to deal with any ‘yarnisms’ 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 isn’t making twts like this any less readible.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d actually not replace it with newlines but with a space or something like that, so there’s 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 doesn’t like yarn’s 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 doesn’t work for me, but this one does

@prologic@twtxt.net I probably would not use an yarn.social client/app that didn’t deal with twtxt (text) feeds - both “follow” them and “publish” them. But I suppose that it is possible to have a bidirectional converter between that json format and twtxt.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de good example. Should the medical device manufacturer be liable? Yes. Should the library developer be liable? No.
