@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah! well i use Nano so i just ctrl-x n

@prologic@twtxt.net Certainly onboard with that approach also!

👋 Q&A: Let’s discuss the removal of Editing and Deleting your last Twt. This is something @fastidious@twtxt.net has raised to me on IRC and something I find quite a valid approach to this. Over time I believe the utility and value of “Editing” and “Deleting” one’s last Twt isn’t as valuable as we’d like and increased complexity and introduces all kinds of side-effects that are hard to manage correctly. I vote for the removal of this feature from yarnd, the mobile app nor API support this anyway…

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com A delay is fine. Just, sometimes I’ll do something else, and look back at my feed a few hours later and forget that I haven’t refreshed the feed. And I totally support making sure the experience continues to be first-class for folks opting out of Javascript.

@prologic@twtxt.net Is there a desire to, in the future, add some opt-in AJAX to refresh the Timeline?

@adi@f.adi.onl Ugh sorry for not replying. If the file list is dynamic, usually you use something like autoconf to generate the Makefile. I’ve also used wildcards in the past and that works okay. You should be able to use shell commands to populate the file list.

just testing our a very simple script for posting to twtxt.txt

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com I am not seeing dups on my pod..

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com I am not seeing dups on my pod..

@adi@f.adi.onl I can try. I know some things about make at least.

@prologic@twtxt.net Lol my build should be up to date now

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool I think I will grab the mobile app.

@meff@yarn.meff.me Also if you’d like to help us test the mobile app that’s being rebuilt check out the @news@twtxt.net feed on my pod 👌 Also you should follow this feed anyway as this is where I post announcements of the project, releases, etc 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah like normally I’m just a little annoyed and just say “whatever” and shrug it off, but come on I am searching for emojis here. Do you really need to harvest my user data for what is essentially a fuzzy search in the Unicode table?

@prologic@twtxt.net 👍

@meff@yarn.meff.me Nice Avatar mate 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net How much of the current twtxt spec came from the original 2016 project?

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha oh my gosh. It’s about 12C outside here and raining sideways.

@prologic@twtxt.net Why not @timeline

@darch@twtxt.net
I replied to the issue.

@quark@ferengi.one what command did you start it with?
I’m using ./yarnd -D -R -A sp -t myTheme

@darch@twtxt.net
Getting this when trying to use it:

error executing template timeline: template: timeline:131:43: executing "twt" at <formatForDateTime>: wrong number of args for formatForDateTime: want 2 got 1

@darch@twtxt.net
Cool! Will give it a try tonight. Thanks for all the work.

New theme for yarn is up now at: https://git.mills.io/sorenpeter/darchTheme
Still needs some work, but please have a go with it and hack away

@movq@www.uninformativ.de love having fresh changes coming down with a git pull with my tea in the morning. Thank you much!

@prologic@twtxt.net
Yup, hmmm indeed! 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net

I think something has caused my feed to be in a bad state and is now unpardable😥

I can read this on jenny, but the twt isn’t making it to my own pod. Something has gone really wrong, me thinks.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com fixed this one yesterday. https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/pulls/502

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com Is there still an issue (sortt was out for most of the day) with the We 💚 Privacy Club pod? 🤔 I hope no weird bug has been introduced 😢 AFIK none of the auth/session handling code has been touched in quite some time.

@prologic@twtxt.net Its not FormatText stripping out the lines. That formats with \n newlines so when unmarshalling it tries to parse the text and sees that as the end of twt. LiteralText keeps the newlines as \u2028

@prologic@twtxt.net make the text field twt.LiteralText() instead of twt.FormatText() and you should be good.

I hit RETURN after the subject, and nick […]

I shows fine on jenny. Let’s see how Yarn renders mine above.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com will reply to this twt, quoting something in it. I will do that same afterwards on his reply.

Not to boast, but jenny has never failed me 😂. It is so neat, powerful, and streamlined, not even funny! Thank you very much, @movq@www.uninformativ.de for it! 💛

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com
I see it, but can you see my reply? Let’s find out!

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com HAHA! tis the same!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Updated. Will it be possible for the subject be moved at the begining instead (like Yarn and tt do)?

@prologic@twtxt.net
Awesome! Hope he will reply as fast as he did with me. And yes about the noise and length. Not an issue on jenny, or my own pod (I have it set to 2048, I think), but yes, ephemeral is right.

@prologic@twtxt.net
Woot! 😋

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk
Yup, jenny. She is so cool! 😋

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

👀 jenny, you say 👀

😁 cc @movq

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I would recommend a longer rotation, perhaps? The way I see it, you are proposing a monthly one. That can make metadata huge too. Maybe yearly, or every 6 months?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org awesome! i love failing test cases. Do you have them pushed up on a branch to check out?

Boot media created. All set an ready for this weekend. Woot!

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USBDrive

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve been working away on side projects: http://git.jb55.com. Trying more these days to not tweet about stuff I’m working on until I’m finished.

@thecanine@twtxt.net
LOL. Now I need to convince my boss. 😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Yes, I did ask whether or not it was possible to move twts to an “archive” folder, but it will be the same at @stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de experienced (which I have, too), that is, twts will “come back”.

There is no clear solution, I am afraid, right? It is the nature of the beast.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How is deletion supposed to work? In mutt I deleted by D~d>1m and then fetched by !jenny -f. This brings back all deleted twts. Isn’t lastmods used to skip older twts?

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com
Some signs from here: $ (one), $$ (two), $$$ (three).

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com
The signs show fine on jenny. So, it is a display thing. Probably related to Markdown.

@prologic@twtxt.net
Temme about it! 🤪

@prologic@twtxt.net
Keep in mind that there are plenty of icons already there, it is a quite busy “neighborhood”.

@prologic@twtxt.net
Validating the mention will be consuming, no? I mean, right now it takes a bit when clicking on the nick of an external user. Also, discovery occurs mostly by mentioning, yes? It seems a hard problem to solve.

@darch@twtxt.net
It will only use the nick of the person to whom you are replying, no the occasional never ending chain link of nicks. 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net
Kind of a pickle. I would say, if the user isn’t following the feed, then @something and @something@example.com doesn’t get linked.

#BUG (or feature?) when I hit reply twtxt.net no longer fill in the @mention of the persons who’s post I’m replying to…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

We should be able to remove those subject hashtags, they’re just noise.

Yes! I would say they are not even needed on the web UI. You click conversations, and that’s done by Yarn. No need for humans to see it.

FOLLOW: @xuu@txt.sour.is from @quark@ferengi.one using jenny/latest

@prologic@twtxt.net
Yeah, it is kind of rubbish. 😬

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Aha! Cool! Not just deleting, but proceeding as if the twt is going to be send. If I :q! on vi it will add an empty line. If, instead, I go :x like I normally do, it works as you said—and as I wanted it. Thanks!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de OK, I am on request/question asking mode today. 😋 How do you cancel a twt, or a reply to a twt? Say I hit my reply, and then I change my mind? Right now, even exiting vi is creating an empty line on my twtxt.txt. Is there an obvious way to cancel a twt, reply, or fork that I am missing?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

If Subject contains the full twt, then you can skim over conversations just by reading those lines in mutt’s index pager

Yes, I do the same, true.

So I decided: Okay, let’s have mutt do it.

And Mutt does it well. I agree it was/is a good idea.

The subject lines are already “compressed”

I noticed, yes.

I am not sure why I asked to begin with; in retrospect, in was a silly request. Perhaps the OCD in me got triggered while viewing rich headers, on a specific twt, when I saw the huge subject line that is, otherwise, always hidden.

Anyway, don’t mind me, move along. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I find sleeping while storming the best sleep, and we have hurricanes passing by, or near by, almost every year.

@prologic@twtxt.net
It is still too early, and too few of us. Give it some time, and your wife might revise her statement. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net
Sounds like a good plan. It is, of course, up to the Master Crafter. 😋

@prologic@twtxt.net
Jenny populates Mutt’s subject with the entire twt. That makes for very, very long subject lines.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de would it be possible to trim the subject to, say, 100 or 140 characters? Just the subject.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Indeed, it is a fairly common “disease”. 🤣

@darch@twtxt.net
I prefer darch’s one.

@stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de

now Apache also announces content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Well, that fixed things. 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Bottomline, twtxt is a poor’s man email system. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
No worries, I understood you perfectly. My reply was merely a commentary, because some here—specially the youth, and I have a 20 years old son—think that the vaccine makes the 100% impervious, and thus behave pretty stupidly.

I am the one in charge of bringing food, and helping the elderly in the family, so I take super extra precautions… for their sake.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I still worry, perhaps a little less. But I still take precautions. For me, and for others. I mean, you might have a bullet proof vest, but even so, would you actively seek to get shot?

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com
Google or (insert your favourite search engine here) have never let me down. Also, Youtube has repair guides, and HOWTOs for just about anything, and everything.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
I really do not understand anyone not willing to get vaccinated. It is just plain stupid.

@stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de
I am seeing this characters on your twts: )?â\200¨â\200¨. Which client are you using?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
With those two (Message-ID, and In-Reply-To) the hashing could become superfluous, and no longer needed. I would vote for that!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

and the little cricket story stays there forever.

🤣🤣🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
I replied to the one he originally sent (and later edited, so it was deleted). That’s probably what happened.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
A twtxt client would be nice! Or a very simple cgi script to print twts to web nicely—not a second Yarn, just something to show twts in a pretty form on the web.

@adi@f.adi.onl
Just like your highschool girlfriend in Afghanistan “doesn’t need saving”, right? I think it is a language issue you are having, as English isn’t your mother tongue.

QAnon followers are cultist nuts. Some of them wanting out are finding that it is a hard thing to do (did you read the article?). Saying that “they don’t need to escape” is a silly thing to say, at the very least. To me, it just doesn’t make sense.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Fair enough, I will modify my cron job to match. When I come across edited twts, I just delete both knowing jenny will fetch the right one next iteration. I like keeping things tidy. 😊

@mckinley@twtxt.net
I really would like to know the logic behind that reasoning.

@adi@f.adi.onl
Are those the kind of things people usually talk to each other when they meet on Tinder? Asking for a friend. 🤣
