@prologic@twtxt.net I would to build a Chinese version, have you considered supporting different languages? I translated a README file.

”@niplav (#kfgri5a) There are no expectations when you’re honest. Expectations and honesty don’t mix.” -> I honestly wasn’t expecting that answer :)

@niplav@niplav.github.io “adrationalism” is probably better. “irrationalism” sounds like a pie-appreciation club for math nerds.

Sure. I think search, if it’s going to exist, should be the client’s responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y’all do.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “@niplav (#xvbnyma) Fascinating. :-) Suspect #RMS would have a violent physical reaction – accompanied by some salty language – after even a moment’s contemplation of life under such complicity. :-D” -> He is a very unreasonable man <3

@niplav@niplav.github.io I wouldn’t disagree with your characterization of people who’re interested in radical life extension, but their messaging, generally, seems to not mention “adding life to your years” at all. “Live to be 150” doesn’t sound all that great if you’re going to have 15 years of being in your 80s, so to speak.

@niplav@niplav.github.io yeah, normal signatures suck, too. I’m just not convinced the change in tradeoffs is worth it. Oh, and no, it didn’t come off as too mean.

@adi@twtxt.net I am not. :-)

@(frogorbits.com) @niplav@niplav.github.io “I sign a lot less stuff these days now that my phone can pretend to be a credit card. Also: an impostor with a quantum computer can’t pretend to sign documents on my behalf…” -> It’s good that pen signatures are completely unfakeable. They’re unbelievably reliable. We can’t just copy & photoshop around the edges. Better worry about those definitely-soon-to-exist quantum computers that might crack cryptography.

@adi@twtxt.net Some linux; how does one tell which?

@niplav@niplav.github.io I sign a lot less stuff these days now that my phone can pretend to be a credit card. Also: an impostor with a quantum computer can’t pretend to sign documents on my behalf…

@niplav@niplav.github.io 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.

@adi@twtxt.net “I usually seen the opposite. Women are more interested in longevity and happy that studies show that they live more than men.” -> I probably could have been clearer: It seems to me that women are on average much less interested in life-extension (methods beyond usual health advice such as the old “exercise, eat vegetables”) than men. This might just be founder/sampling bias (life extension comes out of the relatively male dominated libertarian/techno-optimist cluster). Actually, maybe there’s just a variance thing here: median man cares less about his longevity than the median woman, but the variance for men is higher.

@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).

Twtxt is distributed like in the old school unix2unix copy days

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (#hut4mnq) I am so sorry for you. I left my Java job for Go. Though through “restructuring” its become a Python job.

I am very excited about this, and it seems like something the twtxt crowd might enjoy: https://anewsession.com/

Huh. In my feed, there is (correctly) a backslash before that . in the sed command, but twtxt.net is stripping it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What do you do at your day job?

@prologic@twtxt.net Bug in your profile links: it’s repeating a segment. For example, your face tries to get to https://twtxt.net/user/https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io @jlj@twt.nfld.uk in old school terminal jargon the ^H means control H or the sequence used in some terminals to indicate backspace. The “joke” is that the term failed to interpret it correctly and you can see the partially typed word before they changed it.

WIP for a new branding and top-navn

@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!

@adi@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de ah.. looks like you still follow movq as vain.

@ionores@twtxt.net “Perseverance ! 👏🎉😀” <3

@golang_news @prologic@twtxt.net Woot!

@xuu@txt.sour.is Errors are gone! 👌

@xjix@xj-ix.luxe Saw your oldish note about wanting an offline/async twtxt workflow. Do you have something that works for you? My (very young!) client was designed with that in mind.

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly, but that reduces the argument for URLs in the post. The client should figure out how to search based on the hashtag.

@bml@twtxt.net Yup, several. My favorite is RFC 1149, another that’s since been implemented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day_Request_for_Comments

@prologic@twtxt.net You may be interested in https://github.com/u-root/u-root (I work with a contributor).

@bml@twtxt.net It was totally an April Fools’ joke; the IETF has a bunch of those. But! It has also been implemented. And 418 is my favorite error code.

I’m unclear if I’m going to do the twtxt.net discovery protocol; neither my web server nor Plan 9’s default capture agent strings. :-/

@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks like twtxt.net is already happy with it, so that’s good! I’m just going to aim for that.

My silly Plan 9 rc twtxt client now has a web page: http://txtpunk.com/tw/index.html

@prologic@twtxt.netFor example, this should work (no idea if it does).

@prologic@twtxt.netYes, I think tags should just be #foo, and let the client figure out searching if it cares.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No argument that threading is an improvement. But I think (#hash) does that, and I think figuring out how to search should mostly be up to the client.

I don’t have any issue with the (foo) subjects, it’s the proliferation of the (foo url) tags. They’re just too long and ugly.

@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

@prologic@twtxt.net yah I’ll get a fix out soonish

@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.

Hah… my silly twtxt client now has “stories” mode.☺

I don’t think I’m implementing twtxt.net-style hashtags (for now?). The “” is bad enough for nicks, but they just make the plain text unreadable.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just never had it be a rewarding experience.

@prologic@twtxt.net rc, the Plan 9 shell.

@prologic@twtxt.net tricky.. punctuation is being grouped in with other text. i need to break up string tokens.

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.

@prologic@twtxt.net its the puny code for the yarn emoji. Though you would want the type-able version to redirect so its not hard to type on non mobile.

@prologic@twtxt.net :-D i consider myself subpar on UX outside of React, but can def give it a stab.

@prologic@twtxt.net we would want:

• a way to reply to the current thread. We have this.
  
• a way to reply to a specific twt. Need this. Maybe make all the replies start new conversations?
  
• check if twt is start of a conversation.. we kinda have this in the main feed with the conversation button. need to extend it for forked convs
  
• a way to inline first replies. maybe show one or two in the sub thread with a link to view.
  
• for convenience have a link to parent conv?

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net see how it has a bar on the first level reply?

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net we could show first level inline like twitter does. With links for deeper discussion.

@prologic@twtxt.net speaking of complexity.. How would checking twts for sub conversations complexify things?

@prologic@twtxt.net speaking of complexity.. How would checking twts for sub conversations complexify things?

@prologic@twtxt.net would that need a NLP library? The lang would be great for a search engine to find language prefs.

@prologic@twtxt.net @darch@twtxt.net Like with many things that live in a diaspora there will be many names for about the same thing. Just look at e-mail headers!

but if we kept things simple stupid I how would the poor little darlings in middle-management have a job? 😂

@xuu@txt.sour.is Speak of lang… Do you think we could detect the user’s lang by what they write? Probably just inspect a random subset?

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net fixed.

@prologic@twtxt.net

@prologic@twtxt.net I know! it has 55 new emoji!! \u1F90C

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io @darch@twtxt.net @adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net There is another: @hecanjog@hecanjog.com

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 That is strange.. i wonder if there is another change that is causing it. Benchmarks are thinking the other way :|
