@xuu@txt.sour.is Btw… I noticed your pod has some changed I’m not familiar with, for example you seem to have added metadata to the top of feeds. Can you enumerate the improvements/changes you’ve made and possibly let’s discuss contributing them back upstream? :D

@prologic@twtxt.net in theory shouldn’t need to let users add feeds.. if they get mentioned by a tracked feed they will get added automagically. on a pod it would just need to scan the twtxt feed to know about everyone.

there are a lot of things that disappear when applied to themselves partially. principle of charity, tolerance, libertarianism in CEV. but, being completely X lets you retain them. (being maximally tolerant, maximally charitable towards everything, maximally libertarian towards other value systems).

with some scripting, I could probably use my upcoming !weewiki !zettelkasten as a drop-in replacement for !twtxt, and then generate the twtxt file. however, I think I am going to keep them separate for the time being. let them both grow to serve different purposes.

When I am angry, frustrated and disappointed or depressed, I think of the pale blue dot every single time. It helps me put things into perspective.

Since you cannot go back in time to change the past, forgiveness is about giving up the hope of a different or better yesterday. It relates to forgiving actions that were taken, that gave you the feelings of loss of control over your happiness. It’s about acknowledging those things that another did or said that caused pain and making the decision that you are not going to let that hurt or control you anymore. Forgiveness can be very empowering. It can give you the chance to be free of another person’s emotional control. It has nothing to do with the other person. As was said before, it is something that is for you and you alone.” Why forgiving someone else is about you | Hacker News

Cows make milk. They milk themselves. Other cows check the milk (for free). Cows - get this - PAY THE FARMER to take the milk away. Then the farmer (you won’t believe this, honestly) sells the milk back to the cows. Sometimes the farmer lets the cow drink a tiny bit of its own milk.

Maybe people will come over when their online actions show real life consequences. There are statistics about decreasing social media use in Generation Z.
