@abucci@anthony.buc.ci That would certainly be more believable to me. I mean don’t get me wrong, Meta being Meta they will probably pour so much money into it and try to brute force it into some sort of life, but I can’t imagine it will ever live up to their hype or be the game changer they try to make it out to be.
Title should read - “Metaverse Could Contribute Up To 2.4% of US GDP By 2035, says Meta”
Talk about the ball not the player
Version I always heard was “Play the ball, not the player”, but yes totally agree!
But @prologic@twtxt.net I hope you don’t give up re: yarn. It’s still the best free speech alternative there is and everyone is in total control of what they see, interact with all without the algorithm bullshit. Yes there is the issue of not being able to have reasonable discussions in general these days, though I feel the usual social platforms have fueled this. Hopefully one day that might change.
Same with Ben Shapiro, I don’t always agree with either of them on some things. Both can go a little too far the other way when it comes to LGBTQ+ stuff for my liking, but then there’s plenty of stuff I would agree with them on, such as the problem of trans women (biologically born men) in pro women’s sports or surgeries on kids. But I’m much more supportive and inclusive with trans people in a general sense than either of those two. Sadly on most platforms, even what I’m saying here would be something people would absolutely jump on and attack. It’s a bit sad really.
Jordan Peterson isn’t all bad. He can be eccentric and makes some odd comparisons and arguments, but one needs to take the good bits like the personal responsibility etc and filter out the rest. A problem with people today seems to be they can’t totally think for themselves and approach things like it’s all or nothing.
One of my favourite philosophers is Friedrich Nietzsche and I always liked how Peterson spoke of his works generally, but sometimes he had some interpretations I didn’t like so much, but I could tell that was JP’s conservative Christian bias coming through. It is what it is and I just keep it in mind when dwelling on his point of view.
Amazon Has Gone Too Far (YouTube)
Louis Rossmann hitting it out of the park as usual. He’s right - if you buy a thing and you need to rely on subscriptions and/or only being able to phone home to a server you don’t own to have certain features available, you don’t actually own the thing.
Yeah that was classic. Good to see a journo held to account too.
st is pretty good. I think I’ve been using Alacritty for a while instead because st used to crash if a file contained certain emojis. That’s probably fixed by now.
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I think Richard Stallman had a similar machine once.
@prologic@twtxt.net agreed!
Well duh.
Woweee…
How to create your first post.
Yours faithfully.
@prologic@twtxt.net ah crap 🤣 so it’s one of those..
How to create your first post.
Yours faithfully.
@irinxcw@we.loveprivacy.club hello and welcome 👋 it looks like you have created your first post 🙂 or was there something specific you had in mind?
yarnd
only has to speak Twtxt period)...
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m probably wildly off as I don’t know how this is all implemented exactly, but it sounds like something the bridge itself will have to handle.
This reply is from a user you have muted.
Ew
I like how he’s going to jail for fake news, not war crimes. Russia pls.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net this story is kinda deja vu as an Australian..
@prologic@twtxt.net I think I’m somewhere in the same camp as @mckinley@twtxt.net etc on this one. There’s still a real purity to what we have here with Yarn/twtxt, so while I’m sure integration of some sort is useful for people, I guess it should be as least impactful on the current system as possible. An adapter or service does sound better rather than yarnd talking directly to it all, if I understand that part of the conversation correctly. I know very little of ActivityPub admittedly though.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net what the…
@prologic@twtxt.net fair point.
TikTok screams a lot of things. It’s literally there to make an entire generation as stupid as possible.
Besides that, their logo/branding literally makes me feel a bit queezy. Something about the colours that makes it seem like it’s going in and out of focus… hard to explain.
@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks mate
@prologic@twtxt.net and any other Golang aficionado… interested in opinions on what is considered best practice here, as I’m still quite green here. So if I have a server and client (both written in Go), data is passed as JSON and marshalled/unmarshalled in both cases to structs that are basically identical between the programs, and I want to have these structs ‘shared’, should I put the structs maybe into a single file as it’s own package and just pull them into the server/client that way?
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no LOL, got the attention of the Rustaceans no doubt 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net just out of curiosity, you ever used this? https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs
Bahaha 🤣
I dunno, “illness pricks” somehow still works 🤣
@xuu@txt.sour.is wait who needs 70000 methods 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net looking at the comments section too, apparently even if you view it in something like VLC the ads etc are there because they’re part of the broadcast, so the only reason the company would be complaining is because the user isn’t using their site that contains user tracking and data mining etc 🤦
This was interesting (YouTube): Go vs Rust vs TypeScript Servers
Plus the guy is fairly entertaining. It was interesting as he’s a Rust guy but found Golang held up incredibly well, especially in concurrency, for way less effort.
@prologic@twtxt.net agreed, one look at our TikTok generation and they’re outta here
People are literally being cured of HIV, but still most headlines I see are about freaking ChatGPT 😅😑
<button>
element in HTML5 will cause a form to submit when clicked (instead of any other behaviour you expect) because <button>
has a default value of, get this... type="submit"
.
@prologic@twtxt.net Surprisingly no. In my case I already had a regular <input type="submit">
in the form. It’s just the HTML5 spec, for some reason, that if a button has no type explicitly defined, it defaults to type="submit"
LOL 😅
TIL: that the <button>
element in HTML5 will cause a form to submit when clicked (instead of any other behaviour you expect) because <button>
has a default value of, get this… type="submit"
.
You would think <button>
would have a default type of “button”, but no. Bloody hell lol.
This Stackoverflow answer saved me from further headaches.
@prologic@twtxt.net is there an echo in here 😅
That was a funny read, not gonna lie 😅
@adi@twtxt.net welcome back!
tmux
for the last couple of years. Bloody useful! Especially when going between computers. ssh
in, tmux attach
, and there's the whole session.
@prologic@twtxt.net Nice 👍 Will have to check Mosh out.
Can’t believe I’ve somehow not been using tmux
for the last couple of years. Bloody useful! Especially when going between computers. ssh
in, tmux attach
, and there’s the whole session.
@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry about your recent injury! Hope it heals up quick.
Maybe I’m jumping from a mole hill to a mountain here, but if it all gets bad enough, might we see some collective community group of anti-Googlers fork Golang?

@prologic@twtxt.net What about a rate-limit on postings just for a brand new account? Sort of like a cool down period, just for a time immediately following registration to foil the spambots. Although… then it’s harder to spot the bots on the server 🤨

@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe, but even those particular posts weren’t posted within a second or two of each other. I can imagine there’s people who might legitimately post 2 or 3 times within a minute, so it’s a tough one. I mean yeah regardless, in this particular case is obviously a spammer 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net , think I just found my first spammer 🙃
Looks like the discussion isn’t going well for Russ 😆
Whelp, time to update 😅
