the trick to escaping newcomb’s predictor is to start the game twice, and make the first game’s choice depend on the second’s prediction. The resulting simulation stack overflow combined with the box use-after-free will ensure that your copy can simply walk out.
Petrov Day is coming up this Thursday, September 26. What, if anything, is a suitable thing to do in his honor?
@kas@enotty.dk What do you mean by ‘it’? Twtxt? Txtnish? For my bot I actually wanted this behavior when filtering for mentions to also find @mdosch., @mdosch, or (@mdosch). Maybe I should limit it to ignore only one symbol after the search term.
Now alluvasudden I want to post my updates here and to hell with anyone reading them
@kas@enotty.dk It also looks mangled if I post it myself. So the problem seems to be on my side. sigh
@kas@enotty.dk I probably get a slightly-suboptimal lossily-compressed image. Or maybe I get the same image that I would have had I not bothered to give it a preset hint.
I’m not sure I like how homebrew will try to build a package if the download fails. I don’t need a second go binary, really.
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I think my pulse would be high a lot of times if using iOS. I hear of so many problems from #xmpp devs fighting iOS and push. Not having a reliable chat app due to apples design constraints would really piss me off.
I tried cwebp -preset photo -o foo.webp foo.jpeg on a preview image and it was imperceptibly worse at the sizes I expected to show it. Then again, I don’t really care that you can’t read the nutrition labels on a jar in the background of the subject.

This should take a lot less code than an optimizing C compiler. There’ll be no optimizer, but lots of room for the programmer to optimize.
It’s taken a year to get here. I want to take a break, do a Lisp interpreter for fun. Just so I can see a computer boot into a Lisp prompt.

WebP is kind of disappointing. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, but because I tend to not really need it, even though I’d like to use it.

Also, how easy would it be for me to change the URL, how long till it updates on twtxt.xyz?
Why is the timeline in reverse order? Meaning, I’d expect to see the most recent twtxts in the end of the output
Thanks @freemor! Excited to be here!
Thanks for the heads up @kas, I think I solved all the timestamp issues, I just need to find an easier way to do it
I’m so sorry to all twtxters for all the changes that my twtxt file is getting
Note to self, don’t use =NOW() on gsheet if I just need a timestamp, it changes automatically :/
Fellow twtxters, I wrote https://github.com/LuRsT/twtxt_on_heroku to help out people use twtxt without the need to have a server

Oh, right. If my main computer is tethered to my phone’s LTE connection, it’s not going to be accessible from my tablet, will it? Darn.

Found out that Terminal will switch from light to dark themes if background color is unset. One catch: “background color” includes transparency and blur settings.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net To whom are you referring?
@leo@www.gkbrk.com - I guess I need to follow before a mention is properly expanded?
Hooked up TouchOSC on my iPad to Jorvik. First step in external control.
@dgold@dgold.eu I also get forwarded to https://reddit-stream.com/ when I open twtxt.xyz as https://twtxt.xyz (also the cert is not valid).
I made a lot of external mentions so #hallway is getting some code to filter them out :P
@mox@tilde.town Sorry had no time yesterday and today I’m also busy but maybe I find the time to dig in my configs.
@mox@tilde.town I can show you my setup for volume, brightness and screenshots when I am back home. I only use the suspend key in gdm3 where it works out of the box. I have a shortcut for calling ‘gdmflexiserver’ when I’m leaving the computer as my wife can’t log in to her account otherwise.
@mdosch@mdosch.de still trying to sort some things out with that setup tho (adjusting brightness, volume, suspending, etc) so it might be a lil while until i’m fully moved over
This then does happen, many times, but the simulators (or rather, the watchers they put in place when they created the universe, meant to be scientists and not soldiers) wipe out species that use certain ‘noisy’ technologies, and this is why the universe is so quiet.
Setting: When the first intelligent life arises, they promptly get into a war with the simulators. Shortly before dying, they send out a swarm of probes with nothing but the most primitive life on it, counting on at least some of it to re-evolve intelligence and continue the war.
@mox@tilde.town I am also using #i3 for some month and really like it. Also I switched to TUI/CLI programs for some tasks: https://blog.mdosch.de/2019/06/06/tui-programme/ (#German). It’s a lot more efficient when you don’t have to change between keyboard and mouse/touchpad so often.
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Also yes, a simple string search would be fine. I’m not JS-savvy enough to be sure, but I guess it would work a bit like tags?
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Ok, I figured it out, sorry :) I entered my local time manually and forgot it’s supposed to be UTC, so my posts were in the future.
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz I’m trying to understand where my timestamp issue comes from, but I have no clue. My two latest posts were edited manually, yet the timestamp syntax seems right?
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Regarding potential new features, maybe some kind of search box? And is there a way to embed images or other media?
/meta Great job on the pagination! Now I’m thinking about forking this and trying to see if I can use it as a personal nanoblog/wiki…

I totally prefer #XMPP over #IRC. I like it being federated and with #Conversations you have a good mobile client, also you don’t need to setup a bouncer.

Trees, when given access to computers, are absolutely fearsome opponents in economy-heavy RTS games: Growing resources from what’s available is what they do at the very core of their being
@kas@enotty.dk @mdosch@mdosch.de He ought to switch to one-line fortunes if he can. I don’t want to have to wait a day to get the punch line to a joke.
@kas@enotty.dk The operator changed it to daily. 😃
/meta I really like how this place looks. Is there any plan for some kind of pagination to browse older posts?

Dear lazytwtxt, I just saw someone say hi to a few new people. How can I check the accounts of these new-to-me people so I can figure out whether to add them to my own following list? Their URLs are snipped out in the main client (for good reason).

Rough angel lifecycle: The larval stage (humans) is for building up memory reserves, coffins are cocoons (optional), the imago is what soars through Heaven until either its memories run out or it mates, after which its soul eggs sink back to Earth and complete the cycle
