@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is all in the context. When referring to computers, if the person uses Microsoft Windows, then colloquially the user “is on Windows”, for example.

For PowerPoint is simpler, as nothing else is called that way, nor have the same spelling. But yeah, similar to “gonna grab a Coke”. It is intrinsically embedded in the language.

@bender lol 😂

So you don’t feel a bit weird when you say “Windows” or “PowerPoint”? It’s just a brand, nothing special?

@prologic@twtxt.net Speaking of broken mentions, do you want to install a more recent yarns version so that my error log is not spammed anymore with 404s? 8-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zero progress on mine. :-( I still rely on the official twtxt client to download the (main) feed.

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Hahaha, didn’t think of that. :-D Nah, this guy is not creepy, he’s just a melting flower snowman. ;-) Rest assured, he was unharmed on the table, you can see him here: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-21/23.JPG

Google:

I often wonder what it must be like for native English speakers to use all these so-called brand names. “I use window 11! This is a KraftPoint presentation. I got the code for this script from the idiot turnstile.” All that sort of thing.

🤣🤣🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure the same as for non-native. LOL. All translation services are doing a poor job at translating your twtxt. 😭

Jaja, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, immer schön aufmerksam der guten Steckdosenpräsi folgen und im Anschluss in der Exzellenztabelle was eintragen und ausrechnen lassen! :-D Klingt alles recht albern. Ich schätz aber mal, dass einem das gar nicht mehr auffällt.

@bender@twtxt.net Fenster 11 → Windows 11; KraftPunkt (or Steckdose) → PowerPoint; Deppendrehkreuz (awesome translation btw, I had to laugh hard!) → GitHub.

Absolutely lovely. 🫢

this felt really easy today which was surprising since yesterday’s run hurt (knee). curious if the s&c beforehand helped things out a bit. it was hot and humid, but there was a nice breeze for some of it so didn’t feel the heat until the last mile.

Ich frag’ mich schon oft, wie das für die englischen Muttersprachler sein muss, all diese sogenannten Markennamen zu benutzen. „Ich benutze Fenster 11! Das hier ist eine KraftPunkt-Präsentation. Den Kode für dieses Skript habe ich vom Deppendrehkreuz.“ All sowas. 🤔

@bender Makes sense. We definitely need the ability to mute feeds from the Discover feed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I remember your solution. It’s very simple, I like it.

Yes, my backup target is my home server. I have a hard drive dedicated to Restic repositories. It’s still not a real backup as I don’t have anything offsite but it’s better than my previous solution. I had two very old hard drives I kept plugged in to my desktop PC and I would (on very rare occasion) plug in another hard drive and copy all the files over to it. Luckily, I’ve never suffered any significant data loss and I would rather not start now. Once I have automated backups on each of my machines, the next project is getting those backups offsite.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

If you all were to clear your caches, would your clients fetch archived feeds?

No.

And I’m also thinking of nuking my pod at some point and starting over. But maybe after we refactor a few important things.

@mckinley@twtxt.net My process hasn’t changed. (But the Gopher hole is gone. Here’s the file from 2023: https://movq.de/v/72fddfd8fe/2023-05-31–backups.txt )

What is your backup target btw? This NFS drive you’re speaking of is probably hosted on one of your local servers running in your apartment/house?

@bender@twtxt.net 🤣 Bug free code, I wish. 😅

On a more serious note, how’s the adoption of Archive Feeds going? If you all were to clear your caches, would your clients fetch archived feeds? 🤔

(I’m kind of thinking about truncating my history, to be honest. There’s a lot of twts out there, many of them out-of-context by now. They’re of little use except maybe for showing that twtxt/Yarn is an “active platform”.)

@bender@twtxt.net I think it comes down to one of the principles Yarn.social was founded on, which is to say, users should have choices and what they “see” is not driven by “algorithms”. The “Discover” view in and of itself has utility/value to others, and is otherwise just a “view” of a pod’s cache, but I agree with you. It was even getting noisey for me 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s great to see so much “green”. 👌

The sequence of photos makes it look like you throw this (pretty creepy) snowman to the ground. 😂

@mckinley@twtxt.net not a problem, but I don’t want to see it. When I get to see it constantly, without following it, then it becomes a problem. Blogs being echo chambers do not bother. They don’t “come to me”. :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Unofficially yarn supports the type field

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Probably not? https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/metadataextension.html

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Same to you!

Good Morning everyone! Wishing all of you a productive and Happy Monday!
