Many are very upset about the return of RMS, and how that could be seen to legitimise his views. I knew nothing about his views, really, controversial or otherwise. I’m currently correcting that. I do like how he’s acknowledged that his views on certain controversial subjects has changed since 2013; an admission that he was wrong. I guess an important question is whether his new views on said subjects align with the current moral standard. More reading required…

@(frogorbits.com) “@niplav Seems like most of the (radical) life extension people are interested in adding years to their lives, but agnostic about adding life to their years. “Be old longer” doesn’t appeal to a lot of people.” -> I disagree, the people who i know that are interested in life extension look to me more engaged in life than the ones who are not (though that hinges on definitions of ”adding life to their years”). i agree that “adding life to your years” is underappreciated, though.

I don’t think the pod would have to be large. Even on tilde.club and the like, with a few dozen active users, it adds to the fun.

I like finger, but outside of a shared system, the complete lack of discoverability is pretty fatal.

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks like twtxt.net is already happy with it, so that’s good! I’m just going to aim for that.
@darch@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Technically it should be at the start.. Though the parser doesn’t currently care where it is. Though that leads to artifacts like any random string inside perens becoming a subject.

Hey @xuu@txt.sour.is another mention that didn’t render ☝️
@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io Hey! It’s easy. Just install the twt CLI with something like:
go get github.com/jointwt/twtxt/cmd/twt/...
Then use it in some hooks/scripts to post some content to your Pod.

@vain@www.uninformativ.de I have seen it pop up on a few feeds around and adopted it into the new parser I built.
The format I have followed has been '# ' :whitespace: :key-name: :whitespace: '=' :whitespace: :value: keys can be repeated and accessed like an array of values.

Maybe the mobile version has text emoji substitution like slack/discord does?

I wonder if email would be a reasonable way to enable interaction on twtxt… something like publishing an email address for replies in the preamble of your feed, then like twtxt the rest is up to you, but I could imagine a simple moderation queue that could be checked periodically allowing the admin to move approved comments into some public space… I keep thinking I’ll add activitypub comments to my site but it seems more complex than I care for. Ironically because of available tooling email actually feels simpler for this… of course, there is spam…

@prologic@twtxt.net @hxii@0xff.nu I’m certain that it is a markdown thing. Its that way on other markdown sites like Reddit. Because the underline is being escaped to prevent the underline style. Gotta double it up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a supplementary component to !zetdo called something like “due”, which schedules items in the TODO and dynamically creates schedules similar to org-agenda. #halfbaked
it really feels like I spend a few hours every day trying to will myself into doing what other people want. I suppose everyone has that to an extent. It’s just really hard to do things that I know are stupid, when there are other more important things to do. Really winds me up.
Why it’s bad to have a high GDP
Why it’s bad to have a high GDPby Luke Smith, originally a blog post in November 2018, rewritten for this website.
To put it in other words…The common way of looking at Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is that it’s a metric of economic success: more GDP is more wealth.
Wealth is good. “Poverty” (meaning low per capita GDP) is bad.
Nowadays, pretty much everyone talks about “economics” like this as if this truism was scribbled on the … ⌘ Read more

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)
The Visitor The coming of a person is, in fact, a tremendous feat. Because he comes with his past and present and with his future. Because a person’s whole life comes with him.

That is why we like noise and activity so much. That is why imprisonment is such a horrific punishment. That is why the pleasure of being alone is incomprehensible.

@vain@www.uninformativ.de the truth is, i never “got” or liked twitter. i think it’s way too noisy and a terrible way to have a conversation, what with the character limit and all. and then mastodon came along and i thought it would be different, but then it became too twitter-like. i get what you mean about twtxt and discoverability, that is one of its drawbacks.
