@dce@hashnix.club these are some of the same reasons that I enjoy Yarn.social/Twtxt 🙌

You know, I think I do actually like it here better than my other social media. It’s slower and quieter, but it feels more organic and nobody’s trying to sell me anything, promote their podcast, or change the way I think. It’s just… nice!

Dear @doctormo@doctormo, I’m a great admirer of your work in general and hopefully I won’t creep you out by telling everyone I’m your fan!

As a creator of digital vector-based art I find the color management stuff (trying to figure how to generate things to print “in CMYK”) mind boggling. I slowly try to read and acquire the concepts and vocabulary to understand more about this. I’m grateful for your work in this area. Thank you!

@eric@itsericwoodward.com I prefer to call what we’ve built here really an “ecosystem”. A network isn’t really an apt description. Twtxt/Yarn is arguably IMO the purest decentralised non-social social media ecosystem I think in existence today 🤣

Da mais recente newsletter da @climaximo@climaximo :

“Nos últimos dois anos, a Equipa Legal do Climáximo tem acompanhado quase cem pessoas que realizaram ações com risco de detenção, num total de 72 ações. Destes, 8 foram arquivados, 3 foram absolvidos, e em 10 casos as ativistas foram condenadas. Temos ainda uns 20 casos no tribunal, e mais 20 casos que podem vir a ser objeto de processos-crime.”

“Aqui queremos fazer uma pequena pausa para esclarecer que isto não é toda a repressão que o movimento pela justiça climática enfrenta. Isto é a parte que é visível para a equipa legal do Climáximo, e portanto exclui, por exemplo, a indemnização ao Luís Montenegro por causa do seu fato de luxo que ficou sujo numa ação da Greve Climática Estudantil.

E também não vemos como assunto separado os polícias que acompanharam os despejos em Loures nem os vários grupos neo-nazis que de repente veio a público estarem a preparar-se. Esta tendência de governo autoritário é estrutural e é uma resposta consciente por quem manda nesta sociedade, exatamente por perceberem a crise climática que têm alimentado.”

“Até agora, apoiantes do Climáximo participaram em ações diretas pela justiça climática e tiveram 8 casos concluídos e 2 ainda em recurso […] Isto por dizerem a verdade sobre a emergência climática.”

Someone did a thing:

https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/114763322251054485

I’ve been silently wondering all the time if this was possible, but never investigated: Keep doing X11 but use Wayland as a backend.

This uses XWayland’s “rootful” mode, which basically just gives you a normal Wayland window with all the X11 stuff happening inside of it:

https://www.phoronix.com/news/XWayland-Rootful-Useful

In other words, put such a window in fullscreen and you (more or less) have good old X11 running in a Wayland window.

(For me, personally, this won’t be the way forward. But it’s a very interesting project.)

Em passos concretos, o Governo propõe-se a fazer coisas como:

“Criar um modelo de número único de identificação para as pessoas e em-
presas, assim evitando que a mesma pessoa tenha de ter número de utente,
de cartão de cidadão, de contribuinte, de Segurança Social, de eleitor, etc;”

Só que a Constituição Portuguesa, no artigo 35º, nº5, estabelece que “É proibida a atribuição de um número nacional único aos cidadãos”. Quer dizer, eles podem estar a dizer que querem mudar este número na constituição, mas também foram eles que disseram que uma revisão constitucional não é uma prioridade deste governo… em que ficamos?

@prologic@twtxt.net I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.

Essa tentativa de revisionismo é uma afronta a todos os que sofreram sob o jugo da ditadura. Mais grave ainda é a postura ostensivamente ofensiva e arrogante que o “professor” tem perante quem se identifica com ideais de Esquerda. Em vez de promover o debate democrático, Mithá Ribeiro opta pela caricatura e pelo insulto, tratando os seus opositores ideológicos como inimigos a abater. O autor de “Um século de escombros”, livro que dedicou, entre outros, a Steve Bannon (o fascista que arquitetou a linha política seminal de Trump) demoniza o pensamento progressista, rotulando-o de forma simplista e maliciosa, como se defender a justiça social, igualdade ou direitos humanos fosse sinónimo de ignorância, fragilidade ou subversão.

Num momento em que o discurso público exige responsabilidade e rigor, a presença de figuras como Mithá Ribeiro nos espaços de decisão e influência representa um retrocesso. A sua glorificação de um passado ditatorial e o desrespeito constante pelas vozes divergentes são sinais claros de um projeto político que rejeita a convivência democrática e que procura, através da provocação, normalizar a intolerância e a ignorância histórica. Esta retórica despudorada corrói a democracia e instiga o ódio.

“Later in the evening, posting on X, #Macron said: “I’m banning #socialmedia for #children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let’s do it.”

French authorities are already progressing with efforts to force certain social media sites — including X, Reddit, Bluesky and #Mastodon — to introduce age verification, by classifying them as pornographic websites.

French measures forcing porn sites to verify their users’ ages came into effect on June 7, prompting the world’s largest porn website, Pornhub, to stop operating in France. Demand for virtual private network services, which allow users to trick websites into thinking they are in a different location, immediately surged.”

Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one?
Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.

If you know Object-oriented programming, you learn functional programming.
If you know Model-View-Controller, you learn Model-View-ViewModel.
If you don’t know anything about architectures, you learn Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, etc.
If you know Python, you learn Ruby or Go.
If you know Clojure or Lisp… you don’t need to learn anything else. You are already a good programmer. Just kidding. You can learn Elixir or Scala.

Confession:

I’ve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other “modern” social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.

The reason is that it is focused so much on people. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very “ego-centric”. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).

I miss the days of topic-based forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great – and it didn’t even suffer from the need to federate.

Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.

On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But it’s not that great and the protocol isn’t meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of “likes” has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. ☹️

ya girl’s a contract sysadmin now!!!!!!!! https://bsky.app/profile/fujocoded.bsky.social/post/3lo4yd57rbs23

that said, and reading to @sorenpeter@darch.dk and @andros@twtxt.andros.dev I have new thoughts. I assume that this won’t change anyone’s opinions or priorities, so it makes no harm sharing them.

It’s always tempting to use something that already exists (like X, Masto, Bsky, etc.) rather that building anything through effort and disagreement until reaching to something useful and valuable together. A ‘social service’ is only useful if people is using it.

I’ll add that I haven’t lost interest on the ‘hacky’ part of twtxt about developing tools, protocols, and extensions as a community. It’s the appealing part! It’s a nice hobby to have, shared with random people across the world.
But this is not the right way for me, and makes me feel that I’m unwelcome to propose something different (after watching replies to my previous twt). Feels like “If you don’t agree, you are free to leave, we’ll miss you.” Naah, not cool. I’ve lived that many times before, and nowadays I don’t have enough spare time and energy for a hobby like that.

Let’s see what happens next with the micro-community!

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m very sorry but my feelings are similar to @eapl.me@eapl.me . For a long time I thought that Yarn was part of the Twtxt ecosystem, and not that Twtxt is an extension of Yarn. I don’t feel comfortable with what has happened. I didn’t expect this change of direction.
The nice part of Twtxt is that it is read by humans, with a simpler format. It’s the heart of the social network.
I need to think for a little time, but I’m thinking of stopping my involvement in the community.

Oh wow, that 48 hours timelapse from SDO is super cool: https://social.bund.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/413/834/747/006/466/original/91b1698392ae5188.mp4 At the end, the moon is whizzing by.

Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! – I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social’s 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update

@bender@twtxt.net I use it. It’s not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, it’s the main way I talk to the original creator of the twtxt-el repository, the way people greet me for the first time or the way they notify me of some bugs in the software I maintain. I can even tell you that it’s the main way I talk to some maintainers of the Emacs community. If there are any of you reading my words, speak up!
Why not have the same? There are things I want to say to @prologic@twtxt.net in private, why should I have to send him an email or private IRC? Or an public twt.
Of course, here’s a topic we’ve already talked about: what is twtxt for you? For me it will always be a social network, in microblogging format, but an asynchronous way of communicating. And having a tool to control visibility is basic 😄
I look forward to hearing from you @eapl.me@eapl.me !

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (as I was trying to say…), Glad you think so👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅
