@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh it wouldn’t be very long, maybe that’d make for a fun blog post! i just used the same tool that the nerd font people use to add glyphs, but for a “custom glyph set” i just added. the whole noto font LMAO

@bender@twtxt.net Muting on a domain level would be an option.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That sounds fun! I’m happy to read an article on how you did that. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hear you! I’d also love to forbid any use in military software (development). Even though I cannot imagine anything of my stuff ending up there.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HES SOOOO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das wär auch meine Vermutung. :-) Wir nennen sie hier Peterling.

@arne@uplegger.eu … Petrasilie? :-D

Sooo many new spam feeds to mute in the twtxt.net discovery view. :-( The RSS/Atom to Twtxt feed bridge was a mistake, I believe. I guess I just have to abandon that altogether and rely on my subscriptions to interact with new feeds in order to discover legitimate new ones. Not sure if that works, sounds like a chicken-‘n’-egg problem.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, even a large one!

@arne@uplegger.eu Was sind denn Petras? :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, this is sick!

@arne@uplegger.eu Ohh, sehr hübsch geworden!

Am Wochenende wurde mit Eisstielen, Stempeln und dem Lötkolben gebastelt.
Das Ergebnis sind Namensschilder für die Kräutertöpfe. Die unegale Optik finde ich sehr angenehm.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz A blast from the past! 😅 And all of it still works, that’s quite the surprise. I mean, I’m making real phone calls here and let the modems talk over that connection … Almost like in the 90ies. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de THIS IS SOOOO COOL

@nghialele@nghia.im Man, I wish I could watch Formula 1 on a regular basis again, but it has become expensive as fuck here. 🫤

@nghialele@nghia.im SAME HERE LOL i’m so pissed

@nghialele@nghia.im it’s great to see another Yarnd pod in the wild. Welcome!

@nghialele@nghia.im hello there nice to meet you! your site protection thing is super funny with the touhou theme lol

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yes this thing is on 😅

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️

@thecanine@twtxt.net with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

“Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!”

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz OH SHIT IT’S WORKING

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://snippets.4-walls.net/kat/f1381409ed8244f0a60e0a7a6de23365

hey @prologic@twtxt.net heads up - my pod is suddenly having weird 400 bad request errors on things like posting twts, new user registration, following, and more. it’s not just me because a friend is also having these issues as a new user and can’t post. i saw one exception in the logs but i’m not sure if it’s related, i’ll link it in a reply to this

QR codes, already posted about them in the last two posts, but I want to hear your hot takes: Should they only be black and white, are they even worth doing in 2025, incorporating them into things,..?
Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!

@bender@twtxt.net i LOVE katseye so much they’re like one of my fave girl groups rn

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz lara is my bias but daniela is so slay

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t stop to think on this one. 😅 Of course, duh!

@bender@twtxt.net Not sure if you’re serious or joking, but: IE3 introduced support for CSS, Mosaic completely ignores it. 😅 Besides, it looks fine in IE3 now as well, after I fixed my CSS bug. 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don’t use a Microsoft browser!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahaha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Mosaic (2.7) works fine, I maintain that package in the AUR and test my website regularly. 😅

https://movq.de/v/d7787d6fb1/s.png

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So no Mosaic support either? 🤣

@quark@ferengi.one Ah, I see. Hm, only problem is, IE 3 doesn’t seem to support this yet. 😅 Nah, I don’t think I’ll go down that road – seems like a slippery slope. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yes, I think:

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../simplicity.css”>
<!--<![endif]-->

Should work, but I haven’t tested it.

@bender@twtxt.net Probably, yes. 🤔 There’s no standard way to do that, though, is there? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de he’s so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@bender@twtxt.net <3333

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yep, can’t wait to hear that dial-up sound again. 😃

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Awww, welcome to the family, little guy. 😅

I’m finding this very interesting… An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it’s evolved “brain” that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de THAT’S SO COOL

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That would be cool! 😎

@prologic@twtxt.net i can’t wait till forgejo/gitea instances can federate with each other bc i will interact with ur gitea instance from my forgejo instance somehow and someday!!!!

@bender@twtxt.net Well it’s really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I SAW THIS SHIT I WAS LAUGHING SOOO HARD omg you couldn’t pay me enough to babysit a fucking bot to do shit work

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz since rebuilding eunoia in astro i’ve had soooo much fun with it and i don’t even like JS

@prologic@twtxt.net good luck!!!!!!!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net interesting that ruby is so low on the list, i find it the easiest to learn! hell i struggle with python more than ruby and i’ve been told that python is like ruby but better lol. maybe it’s just my weird brain!

@prologic@twtxt.net IT’S SO EPIC BUT SO POWERFUL YOU CAN DO SO MUCH

@movq@www.uninformativ.de help yeah i struggle so hard with this stuff! it’s why wordier languages like ruby come easier to me

@bender@twtxt.net i’ve meant to try this!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah, I see. I would assume that you’ll get used to it at some point. 🤔 But yeah, a lot of meaning is packed into these symbols. (It’s much, much worse with languages like Rust. 😅)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Authelia is great 👌 Nice choice! 🙌

@bender@twtxt.net 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember going through your “introduction to Golang”, I don’t remember the URL, but I vividly remember going through it, and I was lost at chapter one. So, about that “mastering” the core in hours, “I don’t believe you.” (insert I don’t believe you meme animated GIF here). LOL.

@bender@twtxt.net Here’s a short-list:

• Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months.
  
• CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism.
  
• Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies.
  
• Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules).
  
• No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.

@prologic@twtxt.net what’s to like? :-P

@bender@twtxt.net What’s not to like? 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I don’t like Golang much either, but I am not a programmer. This little site, Go by example might explain a thing or two.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i feel like when i read go code i’m reading some algebra shit where every part is 1-5 letters long and then there’s weird symbols like := and it’s just infinitely harder for me to parse and infer meaning from lol. it’s such a me problem

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz In what way should it be more verbose? Can you give an example? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net There is no aim. Just learning 😅 That way I can actually speak and write with authority when it comes to these LLM(s) a bit more 🤣 Or maybe I just happen to become that random weirdo genius that invents Skynet™ 😂

@thecanine@twtxt.net SO CUTE

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’m so fucking bad at this shit man i can’t even comprehend JS most of the time coding is not in my future

I sent you my QR code, please respond!

*for context: long ago, there were some complaints, about some of my sitting drawings, where the legs are apart, not using dithering/more shading and one of my favourite artists, made a video, exploring the use of QR codes, in art
P.S.: the code just redirects to my websites

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool, that animation is quite hypnotic. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net so, what did you have for dinner last night? How’s the weather Down Under a bit past 02:00? Do tell me. 🤭

@prologic@twtxt.net You can read more about the “cryptic” live coding language Punctual in my newsletter

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Also not very readable. Quite cryptic really 😅 I have no idea how this works 🤦‍♂️

My vision with this newsletter is to have a slower medium for communicating about my art as well as ideas and projects I’m working on regarding how we can use digital technology to our own benefits instead of being exploited by big tech.

Twtxt not sloe enough for you? 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I know what you mean now.

@prologic@twtxt.net it says in the linked page;)

Image

@sorenpeter@darch.dk What will you be writing about? What’s your target audience? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net What I meant, is that I will not say that someone is not really a writer, if they choose to have what they wrote, ran through some spelling and sentence structure checker, like the one included in MS Word, the average phone keyboard, or on reverso.net - given that they look over the output and make sure the corrections make sense.

Similarly, I won’t complain much, if someone uses AI, to remove backgrounds from images, where the AI can preform this task, as well as a human would and makes sure to check it afterwards, or use ai as a way to sort large quantities of images - usually done for science. An example of this, would be having terabytes of plant photos, from some cities camera system and having an AI analyse them, in an attempt to detect notable changes, like mold, parasites, or the plants needing more water.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i have a terrible headache rn tho so debugging and log checking will have to wait

@prologic@twtxt.net best of luck, no pressure!

@bender@twtxt.net Appreicate it 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, yeah, nothing beats modern DVCSs. I just hope that having CVS is better than nothing. We’ll see. 😂

@thecanine@twtxt.net I admit I’m a little unclear of your position. What do you mean by “not the right approach”? What’s your position here? 🤔 – I have a funny feeling we actually algin, just getting our wires all mixed up in communicating it 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Okay, jetzt hör’ ich’s. :DD

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-05-21/0/POSTING-en.html: Hahaha, that’s what I immediately thought, too! The pain of going back to CVS. :-D I used that back in school. Quickly after, I upgraded to SVN and even that was terrible in comparison to a modern VCS, such as git.

In any case, happy hacking!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zum Beispiel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-unPs-NrVI0

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Kenne ich gar nicht und noch sehe ich die Ähnlichkeit nicht, aber kann ja noch kommen. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net With these paper thin walls, it might just work. 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org an “informal” one. @movq@www.uninformativ.de doesn’t even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s cool! Both of you can now form a house band. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ta! The dead end wasn’t all that bad in my opinion. Personally, I really do like dirt paths and exploring. It was all dried up, so no muddy mess we had to walk through. More like climbing over thick branches that have been worked into the ground by harvesters or forwarders in the muddy winter. Rough terrain. My mate, on the other hand – whose idea it was to check out the real summit in the first place ;-) — wasn’t all that pleased about the detour. Oh well. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das klingt ein wenig nach einem Johnny-Einschub zwischen zwei Liedern auf einer EAV-CD. :-D

@thecanine@twtxt.net right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Jokes aside, I don’t think that’s the right approach either. We had spell checkers, since I can remember, as well as other tools, like the smart image select, used mostly to remove backgrounds. These are tools, that just simplify the process of either opening up a dictionary and looking up a word, you can’t remember the spelling of, or the process of placing a billion little dots around the part of an image you want to select - none of these are creative or enjoyable tasks, we already had tools for them, decades before AI. I don’t think we need to go back to cave paintings, to be free of AIs influence on our creative work.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha well said 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@bender@twtxt.net Bahaha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Dustin’s last sentence on that post:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

Is it true that it was written “entirely by a human” then? Pfff.
