My two pence. 2022-12-01T01:55:38Z (#v55m6bq) @ you wrote _“discussing ideas openly and transparently on their merits should not get you banned”_. That **is not** what is happening. It is baseless misinformation with the intent to harm, confuse, and create chaos. It is subversion. It is ignoramus behaviour. 2022-12-01T02:12:43Z The slight horizontal scrolling whilst on mobile is pretty annoying. 2022-12-01T02:22:58Z (#tbewtta) @ football, yes.

Idiots, and the like. People with their own backward, erroneous, beliefs (white race is superior, jewish genocide didn't happen, and the like). Moderation (and yes, that includes banning), and what Twitter is disassembling now, is required. 2022-12-01T15:54:29Z (#v55m6bq) @ good, and comprehensive reply, thank you!

> I don’t know what the answer is, but we can’t be naive and think that just by “debating” we are going to stop people from spreading bad ideas.

Indeed! It comes to mind the popular saying, "How do you deal with nazis? — You punch them in the face." 2022-12-01T18:30:46Z (#v55m6bq) @, you wrote *"I still believe that debating is the most peaceful way to deal with disagreement"*. At which point do you stop debating? If you were debating with Nazi Germany, at which point you stop, and take action? Don't be naïve. You can't reason—and, thus, nor debate—with most people believing, and spreading, misinformation. As @ wrote, I don't know the answer. Now endlessly "debating", and otherwise doing nothing, ain't. 2022-12-01T20:47:58Z (#x7oliha) @ yes, it is.

Context, like content, is king. 😊 2022-12-10T14:52:27Z (#verezuq) @ the solution, of course, is to have many servers, each with less users. Anything that grows too big is bound to either have problems, or become too expensive to maintain, or both. So, servers need to be architected to be light weight, and relatively simple to operate. 2022-12-10T16:57:43Z (#verezuq) @ right, how Mastodon does it, because how it is architected, is problematic. I don’t think ActivityPub was meant, and made, to scale to the thousand/millions of followers either. 2022-12-10T18:34:15Z (#aybkk4q) @ not torture!

So, the earlier you hunt for them, the better chances you have to find them.

I like the templates you are using! 2022-12-17T03:14:43Z (#jupoztq) @ the Fediverse is the winner on this one. It has truly become rich with lots of people moving in—mostly to Mastodon, but to other places too. Even governments are setting up instances. 2022-12-17T06:21:21Z (#sn2xlpq) @ I wasn’t clear, sorry. I was referring to Axodys’ twt, and the Twitter debacle in general. It was the spawning pods mention that drove my comment, because it reminded me of what’s happening right now.

I believe that each community has its niche, so I agree with your assertion. 2022-12-18T05:00:15Z I heard Elizabeth Yarn was seeing with John Mastodon two days ago.

It is while logged in, on pages where you can enter text on a `textarea`, that the problem arises. 2023-01-18T18:30:16Z (#ozqphna) @ it seems settled that it doesn’t show on Android browsers. It is an issue on iOS. Mind tossing me a test account (delete after my test), to see if it is an issue on twtxt.net only, or something generalised? 2023-01-18T19:30:18Z @, the “Settings” screen has issues as well. I can screenshot it and twtxt about it, but it is easier to see. Click on “Settings” and see the alignment of the three blue buttons, and width in comparison with the rest of the page. This on both, desktop, and mobile. 2023-01-18T20:14:49Z (#y463i3a) @ on “Timeline”, inspect any of the `
` tags. Their computed width is 834px. Now go to “Settings”, and inspect any `
`. Their computed width is 802px.

The way I see it, this is what causing this specific problem (the commented out padding):

```
.tabs .tab {
 order: 99;
 width: 100%;
 display: none;
 /* padding: 1rem; */
}
```

It is called moderation. Often people can get away by blocking individuals. In extreme cases entire instances must be blocked.

I also don’t understand the sanitation you are referring to. You don’t interact with what you don’t like, or agree with. You won’t find nazis in my timelines, or fanatic religiosity. Everyone creates their own space.

If “this place” were to become one day unsuitable for me, I would move on. Not the first, not the last. I always ask myself first, though, “is it me?” Sometimes it is me, and I learn, and I try hard to change.

Once course, since I am replying to myself I don’t see my handle. For this one I tapped once on reply. 2023-02-05T13:56:15Z (#sntvrfa) Yup, even when replying to myself I need to spam “Reply”. 2023-02-05T14:00:12Z (#hs7sjba) So, to sum it up, Yarn reply interaction has issues while on mobile (I forgot to mention same applies to “**Fork**” while on mobile). I might follow Lyse’s (@) advise, and "just don't use it on your telephone, you social addict!” :-D 2023-02-05T21:20:39Z (#sntvrfa) @ it happens, JavaScript sucks, but it is also so good! :-) 2023-02-05T23:46:48Z (#hs7sjba) @ yup, all good. Just replying here for closure. 2023-02-06T00:09:59Z (#d5tbgsa) (#d5tbgsa) @ funny enough, that one on cache is wrong, as the cache doesn’t have the right one.

You can query a pod to find a few stats about it. Granted, it is passive, not “dialling out”. 2023-02-12T00:01:39Z (#oyvxhoa) @ I will play devil’s advocate.

If only we had a decent search! 😩 2023-02-13T13:37:28Z (#v4rlsma) @ yes, Yarn does some caching that is pretty ephemeral. If you are gone long enough, nothing will show under your profile. As far as the web interface is concerned, you will not exist. Same for everything else. Granted, you still can check your—and others—text file (if you are into that kind of thing), but Yarn will not show it to you in a browsable manner (like this twt). 2023-02-13T13:44:09Z (#v4rlsma) So, the “Timeline” you are using on your website, that links here, isn’t a good idea. 2023-02-14T12:13:42Z (#2l5clma) @ is it a Linux distribution based on Gentoo.

About perceived impossibilities, we are very good at achieving things that previously seemed impossible. 2023-02-14T14:56:39Z (#gzerdja) @ everything is on its infancy, relatively speaking. I mean, your 1940s example is merely 82 years old. What is that? Nothing.

The fact is, we don’t know what we don’t know. The argument is not giving up. It is a way to say “I am not knowledgable enough—not will ever be—to speak on that matter." 2023-02-14T17:50:30Z (#h5nlkkq) @ they can be had, if you use your fork right. :-) 2023-02-14T17:55:45Z (#kxt2sua) @ very nice click!

Following ActivityPub actors require receiving, at least, notes/posts from them. Granted, likes and re-blogs aren’t necessary, but posts themselves are. 2023-02-19T20:37:21Z (#zjuy6kq) @ trying to add someone on an ActivityPub server (Mastodon in this case) places the follow as “requested”, and since there is no way to approve on Yarn, it remains in limbo. 2023-02-19T22:51:34Z (#zjuy6kq) @ right, it doesn’t, so it seems a bug. Also, if I update profile in Yarn, it doesn’t update it for AP. 2023-02-19T22:57:05Z (#5cbqssq) @ what do you mean? Is it something I need to do, or are you saying that is a missing part on the implementation? 2023-02-20T13:06:09Z (#4u6tosq) I don’t have a test Mastodon server. I am assuming you are after being able to peek at logs in one, otherwise you could just create an account on any existing one (if no logs access is required).

I check logs (I am really having a hard time finding useful logs on Mastodon), and all I can see is:
```
method=GET path=/@bender@twtxt.net format=html controller=HomeController action=index status=200 duration=248.79 view=158.94 db=84.15
```
Which is not much. 2023-02-20T13:09:41Z (#4u6tosq) Also:
```
path=/users/david/inbox format=json controller=ActivityPub::InboxesController action=create status=401 duration=75.44 view=1.17 db=1.83 key=https://twtxt.net/user/bender/
``` 2023-02-20T13:12:49Z (#4u6tosq) Perhaps check https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/follow_requests/, to start? I know my follow requests from Mastodon are ending up on pending. 2023-02-20T22:50:43Z (#3b5qtnq) @ that board is a tiny one! Equivalent to Raspberry Zero, right? What are you planning to use it for? I ordered three Lenovos ThinkCentre M910Q tiny desktop computers a week ago, and I can’t wait till I put my hands on them. Going to dabble with a microk8s cluster. 2023-02-21T15:10:00Z (#2p5jzrq) @ I say, revamp the whole login to be like micro.blog does it. Enter email, you receive a link to login. Drop a cookie. Rinse and repeat. 2023-02-22T01:16:50Z (#3ah5h3a) @ I am extremely curious. What is “tharbon”? 😅 2023-02-22T15:29:02Z (#3ah5h3a) @ 😂. I think combining words would be a logical streamlining of the language. That’s why German is so streamlined (those long words that encapsulate an idea, or a sentence). I propose “thaton" to be used instead of “that on”!

Oh, and Google says it is "tio plu”, but don’t quote it (chat bots can be wrong). 2023-02-22T21:57:45Z (#xaeygjq) @ to add to this, careful with ActivityPub and domains. Once you have an ActivityPub running, you will need to save its keys, because other instances you have federated with will expect them not to change. I am not fully sure of the details, but I have heard you might be disallowed from using the same domain again, if such keys were to change, because it will break federation. 2023-02-22T22:48:30Z (#4dprv3q) @ that’s pretty cool! First time I see it up close, and not like a moon floating from afar. 2023-02-23T11:35:16Z (#nuu7dxa) @ now, that’s progress! I logged on Pleroma without any issue. Very, very well done! 🥳🎉 2023-02-23T20:41:08Z (#wmw35xa) @ before your twt can “show up” on the Fediverse, your account needs to be discoverable. It isn’t. Searching for `@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no`, or `stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no` renders no results. After your account shows up, and someone can follow you, then anything you type here will be seeing by your follower. 2023-02-23T20:51:51Z (#wmw35xa) @ I am not sure what are the steps on Yarn for that. I will have to ping @, so that he can chime in. I am searching for your handle on my Mastodon server. 2023-02-23T20:53:44Z (#wmw35xa) @ you might need open profile. Do that, and let me know. 2023-02-23T20:56:36Z (#wmw35xa) @ I can’t still browse to your profile. I get a login screen. 2023-02-23T21:00:37Z (#wmw35xa) @ yes, that was it.

To:


```

They are talking about the rubbish that is Discord. Enterprise messaging is work. It is very important especially whilst working remote. While at work, I have customised notifications, and yes, I almost instantly reply to queries, whether on Teams, emails, or voice (unless, of course, otherwise engaged on something else, but I multitask quite well via chat).

Checking messages once a day, and replying hours later is completely unacceptable within my work environment. It also goes against my own work ethics. 2023-08-21T12:11:33Z (#recffwq) @ ain’t that the truth! Modus operandi also varies from person to person. I have co-workers that never interact on public channels, where the entire team is being pinged. I am the only one “saving face” for the entire team, by actively replying to queries, and actioning as needed. It is just the way I am, too. 2023-08-28T23:00:26Z (#ip32f3q) @ cool!

Yup, it integrates with many fitness devices (other than the normal walking, running, and biking), and there are plenty apps that can use that raw data. 2023-09-12T23:04:43Z (#l7cdjfa) @ it can be, if you chose to, yes.

For the laptop, what would its intended use be? Do you need to run Microsoft Windows? Does it needs WiFi? Destination (for power outlets)? For the phone, do you need it to be “smart”? Physical, or software SIM? Do you want it to work where you are going (destination is needed)?

Details are in the pudding. 2023-09-28T16:02:15Z (#yw6re3a) @ get a Nokia 6300 (https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_us/nokia-6300-4g?sku=16LIOW11A01). For $70 it is easy to buy one every 6 months, if it were to be really bad. :-) Heck, my wife’s SUV eats $70/week of petrol, so… one phone per month is just fine.

In the US everything is quite far apart. 😩 2023-09-28T17:33:14Z (#yh7x7lq) @ there are plenty of under $400 laptops to chose from. Check Amazon, and filter “under $500”. Same applies to smartphones.

I especially like the frosted leaves ones.

Kind of on a tangent, but slightly related... do German words like "Waldspaziergang" have a name? You know, the "all-encompassing words that mean a lot" kind of words. Do you know of any site that has a comprehensive list of them? I would love to use them as richly as I can on my communication at work! :-) 2023-12-19T12:40:24Z (#a6nrqza) Wow, @, as always you have gone above and beyond to provide plenty of information. Thank you so much! Compound nouns are amazing, and I wish more languages would adopt them. I know English has adopted some (like kindergarden, and wandernlust come to mind), but I want more!

I will sure stump co-workers with a few next year. I am going to handpick them, and use them for impact. LOL. Thanks again! 2023-12-21T02:33:45Z (#arvvywa) @ the entire thread that follows is quite interesting too. Thanks for sharing! 2024-01-11T13:43:18Z (#btepxea) Where did Adan Januzai went?!

There is no need, for your use case, to learn HTML/CSS. 2024-01-30T00:40:05Z (#ankvkia) @ why? Twtxt users can’t like Apple products? Or maybe you are implying we are all dead beats? 😂

I will not be buying it… yet. Got other priorities to fulfill. 2024-02-06T13:49:38Z (#pn753ea) @ that’s some wishful thinking. 😅 Sadly, it ain’t. 2024-02-06T14:48:09Z (#pn753ea) @ I believe it. I don’t watch YT at all. Yet, it is extremely popular. It is the go to for my 78 years old father-in-law to learn how to repair all kind of things. Kids watch gamers in it, and instructive videos (science, tech, history, etc.). It has little, to no competition. 2024-02-06T16:05:35Z (#itszhoa) @ that site is behind a login. 2024-02-07T18:12:43Z (#5ww6svq) @ yeah, that threw me off. I am assuming ~2ms.

Technical:

1. Single point of failure: Relays, though decentralised, could be targeted for censorship or sabotage.
2. Message integrity: Messages are not inherently linked, raising concerns about spoofing and manipulation.
3. Data storage: Clients may need to download large amounts of data, especially historical messages, impacting performance.
4. Limited functionality: Currently focuses on text-based communication, lacking media sharing or advanced features.

Usability:

1. Steep learning curve: It is still young and requires technical knowledge for setup and use.
2. Limited user base: Finding an active community and familiar faces can be challenging.
3. Unintuitive interfaces: Client applications may not be as user-friendly as established platforms.

Also, full of crypto bros, crypto bros wanna be, and, well, worthless crypto (mixed with some porn, nazi crap, etc.). But go ahead, go through the same phases I went (I even ran my own relay), and see it for yourself. :-) 2024-02-20T21:24:01Z I keep muting accounts here (twtxt.net), and they keep popping back on after some time. It is nuts. :-( 2024-02-21T03:00:07Z (#jq2xtea) @ I would say yes. Maybe caching related? 2024-02-21T17:42:00Z (#glemlpa) @ still, I fail to understand why a "privacy" app is asking for a phone number in the first place. 2024-02-21T17:44:43Z (#jq2xtea) It would be nice to be able to mute/block entire domains, at the user level. Say, I don't want to see any "cyberlandia.pt" related twtxts while peeking at "Discover" or anywhere else, then I simply add that domain to my "Block list". 2024-02-21T17:46:45Z (#e5dahfq) While talking about features, I am sure "Search" remains an unused feature mostly because of its lacklustre. 2024-02-29T18:38:00Z (#iee7bsq) @ completely agree. Also, love the ability Thunderbird used to have (don't know if still does, don't use it) to allow searching for message-id, which we could use to edit emails to fix threats. I used to do it in Mutt too. 2024-03-06T13:52:26Z (#nygq3nq) It is just an acronym that means little. You know, like most German Chocolate cakes: not German, not real chocolate. LOL. 2024-03-08T17:56:05Z (#ymrnh2q) @ it is just the past of wake. Duh. :-D 2024-03-08T17:59:22Z (#ymrnh2q) @ now, in a more serious tone, it is a US slang for "aware of, and actively attentive to, important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)". I will use this opportunity to note: I am woke. 2024-03-12T14:35:44Z (#ovkzvfa) @ it appears to me you will need to run it for 5 years (or more, I am just talking non-sense here, LOL) just to recover the cost of the device itself. Then you will have to spend a little on electricity too---I know it is a low consumption device, but still....

I sure hope you are not planning a retirement out of it. :-D 2024-03-12T15:31:05Z (#xbqymeq) @ because for the other side it doesn't need to make sense. There is lot of hate going around, and an utter lack of education. 2024-03-12T16:15:45Z (#qantj4a) @, in the US it's various factors. This is my believe, based on my own observations, and it might not be accurate.

- I think hate has been latent, but set free by the past (and current running for) president, and exacerbated by the people that have taken over the Republican party. Trump, a "populist" leader, has used (and continues to use) nationalist rhetoric and scapegoating tactics (and lies!) to gain support. This has lead to an increase in intolerance, and a decline in civility. It truly is nuts!
- Trump and his allies has made their followers distrust traditional institutions like media and government, and driven them to fringe sources for information, which are rife with misinformation and hate speech.
- Prices going up, because of current world economy, and reasons outside the power of single entities (governments can't fix everything). In other words, economic insecurity has made people susceptible to scapegoating and blaming others for their problems, fuelling prejudice and hate. 2024-03-12T16:28:02Z (#qantj4a) Also, social media. Yes, that's right! Social media creates echo chambers, where people are only exposed to information that confirms (and reinforces!) their existing beliefs. This leads to increased polarisation and hostility towards people who have different viewpoints. Social media algorithms can also prioritise inflammatory content (you know it!), making it seem more prevalent than it is. 2024-03-12T16:30:08Z (#qantj4a) Maybe increase the amount of text we can type on twtxts? I am running out of space! :-) 2024-03-13T12:28:20Z (#7tvi5wq) @ I prefer not forcing people to go elsewhere to read things that relate here, within a context that exist here (a "yarn"). I have the feeling less than half will go read what you wrote on your notes---that includes me. I might be wrong.

I truly shouldn't complain. I don't participate often enough to ask for anything. :-D Instead, I will adapt. 2024-03-13T12:33:14Z (#ovkzvfa) @mckinley, dear lord! With those odds I would never do it. Playing the lottery indeed. 2024-03-13T12:52:24Z (#xcuabvq) @ on 6, I believe it is just an internal toggle. You have the new Teams like it or not, just using the previous "skin". 2024-03-17T18:21:19Z (#k2lmo2a) @ how well does that works over the Internet, speed wise? 2024-03-19T15:41:05Z (#cvlovya) @ meh, in my opinion you don't buy into a Lexus because of it's superb craftsmanship, engine, and technologies, as engines have been pretty rock solid in other car manufacturers (Kias, Hundais, etc.) for decades now. There is no reason to pick a Lexus specifically over a Kia, both running with engines that burn fossil fuel, as a way of transportation.

LOL. :-D 2024-03-19T18:00:49Z (#lmyoo3q) @ you can't even block/mute them. For those, like me, that use the "Discover" to see what's up, that is a little bit problematic. I live with it, though. :-) 2024-03-20T12:08:08Z (#lmyoo3q) @ I don't know what the fix will be. Ideally, since it doesn't work for bidirectional communication, get rid of the Fediverse integration? Would that stop those posts from showing up? 2024-03-21T21:23:25Z (#hnjfvrq) It is an IPO. :-D I find more value in Reddit than Facebook. Granted, Meta is more than Facebook now a days. I am not buying any, but I wish them (Reddit Inc.), and their investors, well. 2024-03-22T11:34:32Z (#hnjfvrq) @ companies are people too. We should remember that. 2024-03-26T13:49:01Z (#i4fxela) @ yup, that is, sadly, what's happening. It is making the "discover" worthless for my (and @) use case. 2024-03-28T17:06:14Z (#dyqjn5a) @ which one would you call a legacy operating system? If referring to a previous Microsoft Windows OS, it will not be legacy for long. Granted, it might during our lifetime, but I tend to look (and often worry) a bit further. 2024-03-28T18:34:36Z (#pssl4pa) Break a leg! Below a proof that no start goes always smooth:

Arguably, borrowing to buy real estate might be worth it. Buying a successful, established, business might be worth it. Both are incoming producing assets. 2024-04-09T11:41:16Z (#d6xxntq) @ now you are trolling. LOL. Highest savings (or CDs) around here renders around 5%. No one is going to lend you money at that interest rate, or less, like, ever. 2024-04-09T15:54:09Z (#d6xxntq) @ Goldman Sachs, through Apple, is giving 4.4% on $100K (minimum). Four months rolling CDs in our bank are giving up to 5.10% on $50K, and up. Government treasure bills are around that, some a little less, some a little more. 2024-04-09T16:01:33Z (#d6xxntq) The kick is, if you want to borrow money, all interests are super high (10%+). You can't "borrow to invest " in a savings account. 2024-04-16T12:00:55Z (#l4pyb2a) @ let me give you my very personal advice, using the Queen's language: stay away from all cryptocurrency shit. 🤣 2024-04-16T13:30:25Z (#cjlg4da) @ if you are referring to Adobe (I had to go check Johan’s raw feed), I don’t think many other do digital signatures, and deal with fill-in forms.

Yarn doesn't have mobile app right now, so having a clean, decent one, would help. I will leave the UI/UX design to the contractor, trusting his taste, and good judgement. :-)
