@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there are times that it works out to reply to the “flat” conversation, if it fully relates, or the participants are few, or if the strict topic is kept. When there are too many people, or too many topics being spit out, then forking constantly is the way to go. I am a strong proponent of forking. It’s like telling the rest, “you debate that there, I will take this one aside”.

This is up @movq@www.uninformativ.de ally, a tiny OS that runs in a boot sector. That’s, it’s only 510 bytes! But check it out, and see what it can do. Truly amazing. Can you beat that?!

@prologic@twtxt.net I can hear the moans of regret already. They are loud, and steady. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahahaha! No, no, no. Every word has its use. But for things like these I like certain reactions. For example, I would have given a “thumbs down” to the original twtxt, and done with it. Now, composing a reply, to simply say “no, thank you.”, that I don’t like. It seems a waste of space, and it doesn’t “look good”. I like to see at least 140 characters! Ha!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com which snac instance did you see that looked pretty dope? On the ones I saw in the past, I found their web frontend to be rather messy (even more so on mobile).

@prologic@twtxt.net not me. I hate monosyllabic replies, specifically on the written medium, so I am just typing this to make it longer. But that doesn’t change the truth, and that is, I don’t want, nor care, about twtxt, and Activity Pub integration. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de absolutely yes!

@prologic@twtxt.net running the dame, oh my! TMI! :-P

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev what makes Kagi “the best search engine”? It is premium, alright. Allegedly you don’t get ads, but pay up-front for it, monthly.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz which was your last post? 😊

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you are OK. Taking a deep breath, everything’s gonna be irie, mon. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh dear lord, take it away, take it away! LOL.

@xuu@txt.sour.is, see this. The italics didn’t come out.

@thecanine@twtxt.net “*BuT cAnInE, tHe A(G)i ReVoLuTiOn Is NoW*” Hahahaha! Thanks for good laugh! 🤣

@eapl.me@eapl.me this would be, what, the third time you leave? 😅 I jest around quite a bit, act as Devil’s advocate, and am an overall maligned phaun, but please know that I appreciate you, and enjoy your engagement.

We will be here (maybe) if you ever decide to come back.

@prologic@twtxt.net if I tell you I will lose the edge. I want to mass produce them, as a business venture. LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net that mechanical magical ball I built is doing a good job, thus far. :-P

I figure Eris is getting and update. A real certificate this time? Time will tell!

@prologic@twtxt.net Spain. Duh! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net if not that, what else? Communism? Is there, really, such thing? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net 🚀🚀🚀🎉🎉🎉

And by “foot” I meant food, because, you know, sometimes (more often than not) I am a fool.

@news-minimalist@feeds.twtxt.net so many “good news”, we are “winning” big time. I listen to NPR on my way to work, and they were talking about the foot depletion. You could hear the desperation of the people they put on, so incredibly sad. 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOLed in RL, my office mates were, “what’s going on, where, what?!”. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oi, that has to be a bot. AI bot? Maybe not, but still a bot. I see this becoming more and more of an issue, sorry to say…

@prologic@twtxt.net I have:

• jenny
  
• buckket’s original (patched, or not)
  
• tt/tt2
  
• Timeline
  
• Twtxtory
  
• Yarnd

@prologic@twtxt.net pinging the involved (@andros@twtxt.andros.dev, @abucci@anthony.buc.ci, @eapl.me@eapl.me, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, @sorenpeter@darch.dk), just in case. I might have forgotten someone, please feel free to ping them.

@prologic@twtxt.net I now see my twtxts as written in the proverbial stone. That is, no edits, no deletions, no matter how embarrassing their content might be. 😅

Hear, hear, @prologic@twtxt.net! :-)

Or rather, https://txt.sour.is/conv/a36exfa.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk you raw feed says otherwise. Also, https://txt.sour.is/conv/wj5bcwq.

@prologic@twtxt.net stop fooling around, and smell the flowers (careful with the bees, they sting)! An unofficial sign done by children, I am sure. :-D

The OP strikes me as a boomer (they might not be!). LOL. I don’t think there is going back. If anything, it will get worse.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yikes! I knew there will be collateral damage, but I wasn’t expecting it to affect The Tubes! 😱

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es sorry, it isn’t. After you enter the password, it takes a very long time to render anything. I don’t have the patience to wait. Longest I waited is 3 minutes, and nothing. Super extremely slow.

@prologic@twtxt.net ah, yes, a feed that I have muted. 😂

@javivf@adn.org.es the demo doesn’t work. When trying to login, it simply times out.

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, sorry, you are right. Beautiful 404. The most beautiful 404 I have ever seen. Tremendous! 🤪

@prologic@twtxt.net first we need to fix broken links. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com let me reply before going to sleep. 😂😂😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t understand what’s happening. It often happens with @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Replies are often simply disconnected.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I replied to this twtxt with https://twtxt.net/twt/yqrdx4q, and it created its own, totally unconnected.

I replied to a twtxt from @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, which is now gone(?).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I don’t think they have ever replied to anyone. Just checked their raw feed.

Andros’ feed is simply the direct link to submissions with at least 600 points. It doesn’t link to Hacker News, thus no comments.

@prologic@twtxt.net is just is! For me, that is.

@prologic@twtxt.net I jested, of course. Way too dense (and/or boring) for my liking. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net and the aim, and end result, is that by reading and learning from it you will prepare yourself to nearly completely avoid accidents. Am I right? 🙂

Hmm. What can I say? 🧐🥴🫩 OK. 🤭😅😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz saving you a bookmark:

The following flags no longer exist:

--max-cache-items
--max-cache-ttl

Instead use --max-age-days, which controls how much of the cache is pulled back for Timeline, Discover and Mentions views.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t understand the diagram, nor have any idea of what’s about. 👌🏻

@prologic@twtxt.net are you sure you are legally blind, mate? I didn’t try too hard, and only two, or three times, but the best I got was like 72%. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I will be watching it, but haven’t started it yet. Are all the season’s episodes available now?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am surprised our King hasn’t shut it down already. After all, science is woke. /s

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org haha, not satire. It is also in Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn” as well:

“If fifteen cows is browsing on a hillside, how many of them eats with their heads pointed the same direction?”

“The whole fifteen, mum.”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org mooooo, mooooooooo, moooooooooooo! Those cows are not facing the same direction, they are rebels!

About the nuclear power plant on the Moon, they are beating us. There was a time we were ahead, but I understand nothing lasts forever. Now, being a world power for only one hundred and twenty some years, and a super power for around seventy sure is a record (as in short-lived). The Roman Empire lasted over 500 years!

@prologic@twtxt.net I believe he is referring to this, on mentions, @abucci@anthony.buc.cidoesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt.

Sounds like a good plan. When can we expect this; end of the month? :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh wow! That would be something I would print, frame, and hang somewhere very visible, with the image in question in it, of course. Soooo hot!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org don’t you go planting that seed around here, Mister! 😂

@eapl.me@eapl.me I wouldn’t call it natural, it is the way Bluesky decided to handle handles (not meaning to make a pun, or anything). There is no other way, but that.

The bottomline is, there are agreed upon “standards”, right? From example, on Yarnd you show as “eapl.me”, from “eapl.me”. A kind of weird redundancy because on twtxt, ever since I started using it, one will expect to see a “nick” (equivalent to a person’s first name), from “a domain” (like a surname).

There is nothing holding back someone from giving themselves the nick:

thisismyawesomenickforwhichiwillbeknownforeverandeveritsgreatisntit

But, do we really want that? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I tried. I am not flaunting screenies because they would bring me shame. 😅

@eapl.me@eapl.me he fixed the issue with the dots on nicks. It’s all good now.

@bmallred@staystrong.run I know the Marine Corps tenet is “once a Marine, always a Marine”. This guy, though, is the last thing I would think of when it comes to it. Maybe I have Marines at a higher esteem.

Anyway, enough of that. :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz oh yes! I didn’t know I need a bit of Ruru until I saw this. Thank you!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com weekend coffee—the one mum brews, not the “dirty water” one can get elsewhere—keeps me jittery the whole day. Like I feel my heart wants out kind of jittery. Coffee sure is some elixir. Don’t give it up! 😅

I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.

So, here I am, at home, feeling hungry but guilty and refusing to eat anything else for the rest of the day. To top it off, I have only clocked 4,000 steps today (and I don’t feel like walking). I am going to hell, am I?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “hmmm, marzipan….”

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, and yes, it is good! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t jinx it, comrade. Let’s keep a low profile, and be happy. Also, it should have been: “my pod feels…”, or “my pod twtxt.net feels…”. Come on, mon, you are killing me! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net if not physically, then in a matter of speaking. He is also helping on killing us all (like, all).

@thecanine@twtxt.net they just come to you innately, just as breathing, or blinking. And they all look good!

“Here’s what we do know: After their meeting ended and Vice President Vance left the room, the pope was still alive. We can deduce that he was alive, because he was heard asking an assistant, “Ho appena incontrato il volto del diavolo?” which roughly translates to, “Have I just encountered the face of the devil?” It’s a very common question that has been asked in many languages after encounters with JD Vance.”

I couldn’t help but chuckling a bit while reading.

I don’t understand how come this isn’t more on the news. It is a extremely big problem, that has very long lasting repercussions. Yet, news are mum.

@prologic@twtxt.net The Mouse is the superstar! Go Mouse, go Mouse! 🎉🎉🎉

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a pickle. Then sanitise the outliers. No other way.

@prologic@twtxt.net how about @ and @ Will that work?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci two things. Conduwuit, a Matrix server written in Rust, is no longer going to be developed. The other is, I didn’t mean to tag you, but because Yarnd was broken it happened. Apologies.

@prologic@twtxt.net having rules like this on a decentralised system is nearly impossible. LOL. Ahhh, one of the many perks of decentralisation!

@prologic@twtxt.net I would say “We are going to the adult’s toy store for our yearly haul”, though “going to a house of burlesque” would work too! LOL.

Testing mentions, immediately followed by commas. Let’s see: @prologic@twtxt.net, this one is local, it might not break. Now, this one @ isn’t local. Nor this @ one. Will they break. Let’s find out!

This is something for @movq@www.uninformativ.de and old OS hobbyists alike: FreeDOS 1.4! Get it while it’s hot!

@prologic@twtxt.net why not blanket closing everything older than, say, 3 months? Yarnd is quite a different beast today, right? Let’s start over!

That’s exactly what came to mind. Even millionaires would simply pay with a credit card for the convenience, and yes, because what kind of a sociopath will carry $3,000 around?! Just one more stumping item to that despicable person list.

“A handbag belonging to the homeland security secretary Kristi Noem containing her passport, department security badge and $3,000 in cash was stolen on Sunday night at a restaurant in Washington, the department confirmed.”

Oh dear!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, and thanks for the bigger photo! I like how it lovely fill the twtxt in Yarnd. Woot!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I can see somebody put a good effort coming up with some pretty cool goodies! We, Floridians, envy your proper April weather. We are toasting already, and it is not even May. Send us some rain, please!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev nothing stands still, I agree. I think current twtxt has surpassed the initial specification, while still being relatively backwards compliant/compatible but, for how long?

As for new extensions (DM, for example), they should be OK as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

@prologic@twtxt.net “curated” channels (you can see the guide to see the topics it covers), without the ability to fast forward, nor pause. You know, like live television.

@prologic@twtxt.net check this out. It will make YouTube great again. :-P

Hmmm, mine came out right. 🤔😅🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net really? Then we have a problem with bulleted lists. Let me see:

• This is one.
  
• This is two.
  
• This is three, and final.

@prologic@twtxt.net was this a copy and paste? I am betting $100 it was. DM me for more information. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net your father, and I, will be very happy. Thank you!

See:

<textarea id="text" name="text" placeholder="Hi! 👋 Don't forget to post a Twt today!" rows="4" maxlength="576" required="true" aria-required="true"></textarea>

So, 576?

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t recall; ask prologic! :-D. I know your father has also mentioned it in the past (one thing I know him and I agree with, LOL).

@prologic@twtxt.net meanwhile we have all Korean shamans busy asking for rain. We haven’t had rain for over a month, and the next possibility is at week’s end, this week. Keeping fingers crossed!

And yes, UPS everything! We even have UPSes on TVs.

All these remind me of the “blog” ability once existed in Yarnd. I hate to be the party pooper, but little to non interest from me. LOL. I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though. It is rather limiting right now.

@prologic@twtxt.net why don’t you terminate TLS here? It seems as easy as adding tls under route.
