Are all minimum requirements met? All pre-install checks performed? Install steps carefully read, and checked, one more time?
@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com There isn’t an equivalent for those because:
Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags.
You can read more of its philosophy at Daring Fireball. There are enhancements to Markdown (CommonMark, for example), that add extra to it.
I wonder how can I set, on Mutt, a shorter subject (elipsed) on the status bar, while reading a email (or a twt).
“= I’ve been waiting for this for years. I don’t want to join in what I read is supposed to be a highly competitive work environment. But I am impressed by the vision and potential of your approach.” Pretty much my reaction to new many EA stuff.
not reading
I’m doing this thing again where I am collecting more articles and books to read than actual doing any reading.
The Weaving The Web Book by Tim Berners-Lee should be a required read for anyone building on the Web.
I made https://johanbove.info/twtxt.html with a couple of lines of JS today. Makes it a bit easier to read my Twtxt feed online.

I think I’m done trying to be social on twtxt. This is too hard. Enjoy my read-only feed?

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “A good read: Why I find longtermism hard – […]” -> Interesting! I don’t particularly share that emotional intuition (although my bias probably cuts the other way: I am more moved by interesting projects, and more interesting problems probably also less neglected)–I generally find most problems other people find salient not very moving at all (although probably equally strongly moved by extremely near suffering compared to other people, but with a stronger emotional distance discount). EA makes sense in a very different way to me (phenomenologically, probably closest to philosophical high valence states it evokes).
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “Anyone running Urbit? Thinking about having a play with a comet. ☄🌒” -> Just as @movq@www.uninformativ.de has problems with his reading queue, I have problems with my “things to explore” queue. I even bought a planet a while back, but haven’t had time to dive into the extradimensional madness of the urbit system. Subjective impressions & reviews highly anticipated!
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “@niplav (#4qeibma) Hadn’t heard of this; thanks for the tip! Been getting lost in your text reviews; the Benatar piece piqued my interest: I’d been reading a critique of his earlier work – in Overall’s Why Have Children? – that really wasn’t up to scratch. Now I’m reading about pure replicators, which is a new concept, to me. :-)” -> Nice :-) Looking over my text reviews, they’re not quite finished (especially the Benatar one), so take it with a grain of salt
reading
@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. it’s following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.
i am guessing you are using some form of webmention to notify the target of the DM? which loads it into a store for the user to read?
I’ve recently been reading up on zettelkastens again, since it is very closely related to the ethos of a personal wiki system like !weewiki. The thing that interests me is the emergent patterns that come from linking things to things. Which is exactly the sort of solution I’m looking for !sample_curation. #halfbakedideas
the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li thanks for reading my wiki! janet is pretty cool right? happy noodling.
Going to have to read Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark - Being human in the age of Artificial Intelligence
Read some excepts from a book I randomly found yesterday. While the writing was a little dry, I thought it could be an interesting read. However when I looked on Amazon, found out the book was 80 USD. I’m sorry but it was not that interesting.
@mdom@domgoergen.com That’s interesting. So does txtnish read that metadata? or would an end user just look at the file to see it? Is the meta data going to be the standard?
@sdk@codevoid.de as for the 140 character limit. I swear I read somewhere that the limit was really more of a suggestion than anything else. I don’t think any of the clients I’ve looked out enforce it. As long as it’s on a single line, no one seems to care too much.
When it comes to performance issues, I honestly think the solution is just “don’t follow so many people”. You only pull the feeds you read, and once one’s feeds are too much for the computer to handle, they’ll almost certainly have far too much content for a person to actually read.
