Over the past few weeks I've been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven't gotten very far. I've been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so "random" it isn't even funny. Like I can't even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

I've just released version 1.0 of twtxt.el (the Emacs client), the stable and final version with the current extensions. I'll let the community maintain it, if there are interested in using it. I will also be open to fix small bugs.
I don't know if this twt is a goodbye or a see you later. Maybe I will never come back, or maybe I will post a new twt this afternoon. But it's always important to be grateful. Thanks to @prologic @movq @eapl.me @bender @aelaraji @arne @david @lyse @doesnm @xuu @sorenpeter for everything you have taught me. I've learned a lot about #twtxt, HTTP and working in community. It has been a fantastic adventure!
What will become of me? I have created a twtxt fork called Texudus (https://texudus.readthedocs.io/). I want to continue learning on my own without the legacy limitations or technologies that implement twtxt. It's not a replacement for any technology, it's just my own little lab. I have also made a fork of my own client and will be focusing on it for a while. I don't expect anyone to use it, but feedback is always welcome.
Best regards to everyone.

my main itch with the DMs extensions is that these messages are intended to be private, not public information. That’s why other extensions make sense, but DMs are another kind of feature.
TwiXter, Mastodon, FB and some other services usually hide the DMs in another section, so they are not mixed with the public timeline.
I find the DM topic interesting, I even made an indie experiment for a centralized messaging system here https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/owl.
Although, as I’ve said a few times here, I’m not particularly interested in supporting it on microblogging, as I don’t use it that much. In the rare case I’ve used them, I don’t have to manage public and private keys, and finally none of my acquaintances use encrypted email.
Nothing personal against anyone, and although I like to debate and even fight, it’s not the case here. This proposal is the only one allowing DMs on twtxt, and if the community wants it, I’ll support it, with my personal input, of course.
A good approach I could find with a good compromise between compatibility with current clients and keeping these messages private is ‘hiding’ the DMs in comments. For example:
