2021-12-28T14:48:07Z	Hey! First post over here. Playing with twtxt.net, the concept with txtxt, and the Android client Goryon.
2021-12-28T16:24:04Z	(#vx4gn6q) testing a reply from Goryon
2021-12-28T18:46:50Z	Well, I'm surprised of the simple concept twtxt is, and the implications of it.
Perhaps I don't like that's too related with Twitter, but is a powerful reference point too, so... #dealWithIt
2021-12-28T18:48:34Z	Aaand for the next text, what about the image of a decent New Year dinner? 

![Image, cool](https://twtxt.net/media/eTVXsu44pSf3hc8crziP8Y)
2021-12-28T20:43:42Z	I made a Web clock in Hexadecimal. The Month, Day, Hours and Minutes are in Hex format so you can practice converting from Hex to Dec.

https://gemugami.com/hexclock
2021-12-29T00:27:18Z	(#nnr7z6a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Cool! That's a nice distinction between the format, the extension, the pod and Yarn.social. Maybe the similar names are confusing to newcomers, but besides that, a really noble project. Thanks for all your effort!

I was reading a little bit more about it here: https://www.prologic.blog/2021/12/19/future-of-yarnsocial.html

As I was 'saying' on Twitter, this kind of extension and online services would be required for that 'social content generation', I'm glad dev.twtxt.net has those ideas covered, like pagination for instance.
2021-12-29T00:34:57Z	(#hgja5fa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Thank you! =)
2021-12-29T00:50:19Z	(#vx4gn6q) Thanks !
2021-12-29T00:50:49Z	(#appzw6q) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> xD
2021-12-29T00:51:03Z	(#appzw6q) :)
2021-12-29T14:49:08Z	Wow!, today Antenna had nice surprises and inspiring projects...

How are you doing in this last week of 2021?
2021-12-29T14:56:11Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#hpzmd2a) Sure! Backwards compatibility is a huge topic (and usually something no one wants to address so it comes to us)

I feel your pain, dude 

For Indie Games and Webs I work on, it's about maintenance of previous versions and migration of old data to newer structures and teaching the young team how to do that. Complete fun!
2021-12-29T16:51:19Z	I was rereading a few old books in my Kindle, and reached to one about Gamification.

Although I'm not a big fan of gamified experiences and serious games as I was a few years ago, it always makes me wonder on how effective they could be for simple ideas.

For example I was thinking on registering your current run on a treadmill or elliptical in a twtxt file (or any Yarn service), reading it and unfolding a passive story based on your distance. 
Or maybe exchanging those Km/Miles into some resource in a micro game.

The 'final' idea is to motivate you to do more excersise, which is a long discussion.
2021-12-29T16:53:14Z	(#mch7nuq) if you are interested look for the analysis on Duolingo, on YouTube and some blogs.
They talk on how to measure the real motivation behind the task, often forgetting about the final goal, which is learning to use a new language.

Interesting readings and more interesting how to actually create that successful design
2021-12-30T02:06:13Z	Now... I'm starting to learn Rust with the famous book:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book

Interesting language! Let's see how it goes :)
2021-12-30T02:24:54Z	(#5yhrexq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Antenna?
It's my favourite aggregator for Gemini:
gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/
or
https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/warmedal.se/~antenna/
2021-12-30T02:26:51Z	(#j2edwcq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Cool! I'm a complete newbie (although I use C, C#, JS, Python; if that helps), so if anyone wants to learn together, send me a reply!
2021-12-30T02:27:22Z	(#hpzmd2a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Agreed! 😅
2021-12-30T02:33:50Z	(#nnr7z6a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> well, honest confusion from my side... 

I joined here because someone requested me to use the twtxt format, which took me to https://twtxt.readthedocs.io
I was thinking of using the base format for my site, but finding options for a simpler usage I came to https://yarn.social and lastly to https://twtxt.net

So... Yes, it could be confusing if 'twtxt' (spec) is exactly the same as 'twtxt.net' (service for the same spec) when it's a (great) extension.
Or on how to name that extension.... twtxt 2.0 to say something?
2021-12-30T02:40:28Z	(#5yhrexq) Sure!
I give more detail here if you are interested:

2021-12-30T03:01:46Z	(#324ebwq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Moving average? Nice, what are you using it for?
2021-12-30T04:29:29Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#sddvhlq) oh, you explained about the Moving average a few tweets (?) before...
I missed that msg! Nice, it brings me memories of a very old project to parse RSS and a few Leaderboards where I've used some statistical functions/weird math. 

Good vibes with what you are doing!
2021-12-30T04:32:18Z	@<compudanzas https://compudanzas.net/tw.txt> (#k3q74ha) Looks like a nice year!
I guess I need to work on mine too!
2021-12-30T04:38:29Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#mch7nuq) I agree
When you tie a behavior to business metrics, like retention and revenue... Well, usually the 'game' design suffers, and sometimes the learning too. 

I had a short time creating 'educational games' until I found there are not games anymore, but tools. (With a few notable exceptions) 
They are not fun to play and if you make them fun, you don't learn in a predictable way, which is not acceptable by the industrial education. 

Something similar happens with social media which are optimized for addiction buuut that's another long conv.
2021-12-30T14:28:36Z	@<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> (#j2edwcq) oops, it had happened the same to me with Go and C++ (And Scala, Haskell...)

I love C and C#, but C++ has 'something' I've never liked... 

I don't really have a reason to learn then, and I can do many similar things with other languages.
C# for games
Python or JS for web
2021-12-31T03:35:45Z	Ha, I found someone in Australia with the same area code than me, that casually is the same of my biz partner in USA

1 in 999 perhaps 😉

I don't, but I'm intrigued 🤔
Those pop-ups are just a malicious compliance IMO

Good vibes!
2021-12-31T14:50:24Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#ltyuz3a) No problem 😃

It's always interesting for me to discover what other people know about my country... There are a lot jokes about it, like MX in American movies and such, hehe
2021-12-31T14:55:26Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#ltyuz3a) and about creating an instance, there is a smaller but significant community in Latin American Spanish. On Smol Net, Tilde verse, to summarize different ideas on decentralization and open sourced nets. 

For example I belong to Texto-Plano (Raw Text in Spanish), I'm spreading the word there and why not, see if there are some people interested

I dislike that Crypto (along with buzzwords of the moment like meta verse) is about money and power, so it attracts people looking for easy opportunities and scams.

I think it's not a black and white. Not everything is good, not everything bad.

 We were joking about Walmart directives asking the tech team... "Add 20% more of innovation, what 10% of meta verse and 10 of Crypto?" 
Sounds like that with PayPal

Vengo de un contexto de hiper productividad, en el que todo el tiempo debo estar produciendo algo, influenciado por mi sociedad y también por un entorno de escasez (latam). 
En 2021 disfruté mucho de hobbies, incluyendo la red hobista, como escribir en Gemini, participar en proyectos open source, etc. 

En este 2022 aceptaré más que no todo es trabajo, no todo tiene que ser productivo, para encontrar un buen balance entre generar valor personal y a la sociedad
2022-01-10T14:39:40Z	(#4jeol3a) 2/ Algo importante es que actualmente trabajo en entretenimiento, lo que es un cambio respecto a cuando trabajaba en software industrial.
Ahora todo es más superficial, no resolvemos problemas, atendemos a deseos. Es más satisfactorio y al mismo tiempo más vanal.

Curioso!
2022-01-10T15:20:52Z	Well, a new Monday is starting with a lot of meetings. After a refreshing Sunday watching movies and not doing that much.

2022-01-10T19:06:20Z	(#4jeol3a) Claro! Recuerdo el caso de un podcast en español donde decían "Vivimos en el mundo digital todo el tiempo" y pusieron venta de empanadas argentinas, para sentir que algo de sus creaciones es más tangible.

2022-01-11T15:32:43Z	(#mna5wlq) politics is a really complicated topic, to not say dirty. Needed but dirty at the end, so we delegate that kind the people to manage the public life.
That oversimplification said, we are surrounded by power, violence, rights violations and such. Simple fixes for complicated problems don't work, and the last question is: What are we going to do as individuals and as a community?
2022-01-11T15:37:39Z	Morning everyone!
Reading a lot this morning, "Morning and Sense" and "You are not so smart" to start, a quick reminder that you are not thinking like 99.99% (number not accurate) of the world.
2022-01-11T17:37:06Z	(#iwzloka) Perhaps you already had a long discussion about centralization vs federation vs decentralization, network effect, availability, single point of failure, replication, privacy-oriented services, self-sustainability and more.

All of them are pulling forces, modelling the shape of a product/service/system surrounding it with ideas, beliefs, ideology, philosophy, humans livings with machines, thousands of 'standards', and such...

2022-01-11T20:21:56Z	(#mna5wlq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I would say empathy and compassion are extremely important and really difficult to grasp and practice!

2022-01-11T22:18:06Z	(#kdmn4bq) Well, for async content it's better using hi (or maybe avoiding any greeting, we said hi before...).

2022-01-11T22:34:51Z	(#fixh24a) I think some info like our Web sites or our twtxt content should be extremely public, and our personal files, conversations or images, private by default (maybe protected by some private key or similar, that meaning only you can see them) 

What's being in the middle is difficult to define... And convenience like something/someone else managing your private content or your keys. Looong conversation between security, convenience, availability... 

And Web3 is a mess, the live example of buzz words applied to economical power...

I was researching a few months ago on having Authentication for web based on Public/Private keys, like we do on SSH.
Sadly I haven't found some standard, only Webauth based on Hardware tokens (And some implementations for Mac and Win10) but more for 2FA.
2022-01-12T04:59:52Z	(#wl6ohuq)
I found some implementations on Blockchain addresses and browser wallets. Makes me wonder why we don't have something similar with current Key Pairs (RSA or EC)

Microsoft has Hello, although I think 'only' Github used, and that's only a 2FA.

Keys.pub sounds good, I've found a few other plugins/entensions/proposals, and I think they are kind of complicated for the developer and for the final user, when you can add a quick Social login with a few clicks. Not saying they are better, only more convenient. 👀

BTW, Have you played with keys.pub? How is using it in some Web site or Desktop app?
2022-01-12T18:10:18Z	Hey, found an example of Web auth with (Self signed) Client certificates,

Works on Win 10 with Edge and Firefox, couldn't make it work (yet) on Brave.

Interesting experiment, perhaps I'll implement it as a login method in some of my web projects (to keep achieving passwordless logins)

I have an issue with 'fork' coming from Git repos, where you create a copy of a previous repo and start modifying it. Perhaps 'branch (verb)/branching' is more natural to me for 'create a new conversation'. But I'm not a native, so don't believe me that much.

2022-01-17T05:11:10Z	(#i2uhejq) Running a company myself (a micro-company of fewer than 10 employees), I thought the Why, what for? Is the entire point, and the trust is 'for granted' to pursue that meaning and purpose.
But I get your point. The trust that we are going in the same direction, makes everything work as we expect.

I think there are (at least) two ways:
The employee as a mean, or the employe as an end. Usually, the purpose of a company is to make money, and the employee is the tool (disclaimer: I don't agree completely).
2022-01-17T05:13:25Z	(#i2uhejq) For me, now, the team is extremely important, mainly for industries based on talents, like design or programming. There, trust is extremely important, because how do you measure creativity? How do you trust that the programmer is doing their best work to create a stable system?

Yes, work is transactional. I work 8 hours a day, I receive X dollars a month, but also we are together because we believe and trust in the same values.
2022-01-17T05:19:37Z	(#e5p54aq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> No worries! Usually an e-zine is a fanmade or indie magazine distributed over electronic media.

For culture, yes, I've seen is a pattern of sharing knowledge selflessly. But also it's very unpredictable how long is going to last, or how often the issues are released.
2022-01-17T05:26:47Z	(#i2uhejq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> "Skin a cat", never heard that! 😸
2022-01-17T05:27:41Z	(#i2uhejq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Agreed! It's difficult as hell, but in the long run (if we survive as an indie company), it's better what you say
2022-01-17T05:29:10Z	(#repu75q) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Wooow, congrats!
I have never solved the 3x3 cube alone (only using apps and such, you dirty cheater).
I was able to memorize the steps for the 2x2, but that's my final achievement, it seems...
2022-01-17T05:31:57Z	(#lc5t3zq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I will try! (6am for me) I have a call later (10am) and a class after that (12-3pm). If I wake up early, I'll be there! It's set in my calendar now...
2022-01-17T05:36:48Z	(#e5p54aq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I think it's something like grouping the best Twts of the week in a single container. Like some people create books from their blog posts or some artists create a book from the most active posts/pictures in their media.
2022-01-17T05:38:08Z	Enough internet for today, my friends 😀

If life is given to us, see you tomorrow!
2022-01-17T18:05:28Z	These days the 'microscandal' for Jodorowsky's "Dune" bible happened. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amansethi/spicedao-dunedao-soby

It's really interesting to me how technology like crypto (whatever that means), Non-Fungible Tokens, public/private keys, etc. etc. will redefine what we define as ownership. Mainly when the ownership of digital goods and working in an online world will be greater than the physical alternatives.

I wrote a few ideas about the 'isms' we require for our lives https://text.eapl.mx/quick-ideas-about-isms-and-ownership
2022-01-17T18:06:24Z	(#kt5zqfa) All that is about ownership. Of our life, our time, our resources, our destiny. 'Our' as in you and me, and as a collective society/community/organization.
2022-01-18T14:59:43Z	(#hyu3j7a) @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> taking a few of the different opinions, and having discussed DRM, privacy, ownership, anarchy, copyright, and such, in class and in our creative studio, it's difficult to summarize an opinion in a few characters.

I've seen of some authors avoiding digital versions for piracy reasons, and I agree.
2022-01-18T15:02:18Z	(#hyu3j7a) one of the difficulties of digital goods is the perceived value. Why is so simple to spend 2 USD (or equivalent) on a coffee and so hard to do it on a book/game/app? Our minds play tricks when we can't touch something. (For instance, in the current debate with the NFT nobody understands anything).
2022-01-18T15:04:03Z	(#hyu3j7a) In regions like mine, with low income, if I can get the book for free in 2 clicks and perhaps 10 popups, or the same content paying 10 or 25 USD (or equivalent), why do I have to lose my previous scarce money?

libgen, is that you?
2022-01-18T15:07:10Z	(#hyu3j7a) When someone says is good for business, usually I ask for proof of that. As a concept sounds good. I'm getting more people aware of my content. How many of those will be actually buying the product? How many will use the free alternative instead of that money going to the author/publisher?

I really understand the DRM, I get DRM-free products first, or I use any tool to unlock the content. That said, currently, indie producers rely more on customers' good faith, that they are not releasing the content to the public.
2022-01-18T15:10:12Z	(#hyu3j7a) So, conclusions. A physical book could have more perceived value and it's harder to pirate (I have looked for scanned versions of books I like, especially expensive art books, it's not the same at all).

Maybe is more convenient for the author, and less for us.
2022-01-18T15:11:28Z	(#hyu3j7a) And a final reading for the weekend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Doesn%27t_Want_to_Be_Free
2022-01-18T15:32:11Z	(#kve3wbq) @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> I know, they (author/publisher) are not interested in giving a "non-privacy eroding garbage" in exchange for @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> 's money

In some other regions, money is an issue. I don't see it here.
2022-01-18T15:33:06Z	(#kve3wbq) and what I'm explaining is that giving you a product protecting the interests of the consumer 'might' go against the interests of the producer (that usually is money)

2022-01-18T16:52:17Z	(#7iu46aq) @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> good luck!... Usually Mondays for me are the rollercoaster of everything not done by the weekend and pushing people to work again, so...
2022-01-18T16:57:44Z	Starting my day over here... Meetings with old acquaintances, classes, working on Image processing and going with my wife to the supermarket if you wonder.
Seems like a fun day #<letsSee https://twtxt.net/search?tag=letsSee>
2022-01-18T18:43:54Z	(#fu7qa7q) So 90s! Nice memory...
If you like Marketing, look for the book 'The end of publicity as we know it' (2000, I think), it talks about that campaign.
2022-01-18T19:00:23Z	(#cngh76a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> simple, safe and HTTP(S) in the same sentence looks unbelievable to me 😁

I follow a few people, and that always amazes me.
2022-01-18T23:06:57Z	(#hyu3j7a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Thanks! I've seen VoiceOver is amazing.
It reminds me of one of my favourite indie games' Dev Log: [Surviving the App Store - Making Your Apps Accessible to the Blind](https://github.com/amirrajan/survivingtheappstore/blob/master/manuscript/blind.md)
2022-01-18T23:14:01Z	(#4m22tga) Hey! Congratulations!
2022-01-19T00:33:23Z	(#hyu3j7a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Oh, sorry I got confused. When I used a Mac Mini and a Macbook Pro 2018 (from 2012 to 2019) I loved to Full-Screen Zoom with the mouse all the time. The alternative on Win10 (Win + Plus) is not that great. I don't use MacOS now for indie reasons, but I enjoyed it a lot.
2022-01-19T14:31:02Z	(#e2ls74q) @ew0k/BW cool avatar dude!

I think I will be influencing friends and making people
2022-01-19T14:43:21Z	(#zguus3a) I only have Dumb TVs.
Wife loves Netflix and Direct TV on an external Chromecast, what can I say?, but I prefer to store the video on a SD card an play them on the TV, or connect something by HDMI...
2022-01-19T14:51:25Z	(#3cooobq) @<jlj https://twt.nfld.uk/user/jlj/twtxt.txt> sorry for what I'm going to say. For my work I use mostly Discord, never used Matrix.
Besides privacy, do you see it as a replacement for productivity, a la Slack?
2022-01-19T17:46:09Z	(#bwsglma) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> I think Gemini has a decent size by now, and twtxt is something there... I arrived to twtxt (the format) through some users on Gemini, and lately to Yarn/twtxt.net.
2022-01-19T17:48:08Z	Life is curious. I was thinking on creating content about game design, but something was not clinking, and today I received an invitation from the university for it...

And a few projects on gaming are taking shape recently. #<goodNews https://twtxt.net/search?tag=goodNews>
2022-01-19T18:08:42Z	Did you know I really enjoy Yarning (?) on twtxt.net? Now you do... #<stupidVice https://twtxt.net/search?tag=stupidVice>
2022-01-19T20:12:36Z	(#3cooobq) For the record, I hate Slack (but it's the standard for techie companies), Discord is good enough for us (giving classes, creating games for hobby and as a profession).
Aaaand I agree Teams/Skype is the worst. Still thinking about knowing more about Matrix as a future replacement!
2022-01-19T20:14:42Z	(#2hkv6va) 🤣 What I think I enjoy is triggering @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt>
2022-01-19T20:17:13Z	(#2hkv6va) Obviously I meant that (action of using Yarn to send twts in the shape of twitexting/twtxtng), you got me @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> !
2022-01-19T20:21:22Z	(#nghdanq) @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> No idea, I've been thinking on mounting a server, but for me using Smol.pub and the Gemini Server from texto.plano.xyz is enough (Something on OpenBSD, I could ask).
Smol.pub has support for both HTTPS and Gemini to users, and the edition is done on HTTP.
That said, I think Titan is not accepted or supported that much...

2022-01-19T20:44:45Z	(#bwsglma) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> What about something like what Antenna does?, supplying a URL you can call to push your feed
[Gemini - About Antenna](gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/about.gmi)
2022-01-19T20:45:24Z	(#bwsglma) I think Yarn doesn't like the Gemini URLs, I'll try here: gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/about.gmi
2022-01-19T20:46:32Z	(#bwsglma) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Not that much, I love the concept, but only a few sites/capsules use them since most of the content is read-only or publicly available.

2022-01-20T17:34:55Z	(#nhelsza) @<markwylde https://twtxt.net/user/markwylde/twtxt.txt> Windows ME, is that you? =P

For me, Windows 10 has been really usable, and usually, they work well on pairs (WIn 95 SE, 98 SE, XP XP2, 7, 10...)
I use Win above a Mac due to the cost, I could buy 3 PC for my team with the price of a single Mac (although I really need a new Mac Mini M1 for publishing)
2022-01-20T17:35:54Z	(#nhelsza) And now with WSL I can run Ubuntu and do a lot of stuff I did on Mac, so... Works pretty well for what I'm doing (basically Open-sourced languages and servers, and develop games)
2022-01-20T17:39:11Z	(#n252jtq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> could be something interesting, I vaguely remember Trackback in blogs like something similar for discoverability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback

2022-01-20T17:47:05Z	(#nhelsza) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> do you recommend updating to Win 11?

2022-01-21T13:30:08Z	(#tfad4hq) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> as you could see in my previous posts/twts, I'm in the middle between taking money from people (to pay for production expenses), and having a 'right' net (problematic word intended).

If the decentralized economy 1.0 (wrongly named Web 3) is a way, I'm open to research on it, and maybe I should use it to understand more. 

That said, everyone is being forced to take a stance (which is good) and have their beliefs challenged (that is usually good as well)
2022-01-21T13:33:42Z	(#tfad4hq) what I mean is that usually you have to break something to make it clear the previous way is not that great. I don't like many thinks of Web 3, what I do is showing that a better way is possible in the distant future.

Now we are in the stage of: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Science + Business like to break things, and that's not always for the best of humanity, that's when we need to add phylosophy to the equation (and some environmental care)
2022-01-21T13:36:13Z	(#tfad4hq) finally, if we analize the buzzword of the year, usually it fades away very soon, because people stop using a technology or it becomes mainstream.

2022-01-21T13:57:18Z	(#tfad4hq) bad jokes aside, I like to twt with all you, and although I like to troll @<fastidious https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/fastidious/twtxt.txt> a bit, my intent is to have healthy discussions, and enjoy good moments.

Cheers 🍻! <- Non-alcoholic drink, since someone said on Hckrnws it's bad for our hearts

2022-01-26T18:44:46Z	(#kwbpvsq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> One part of my brain wants Yarn to stay smol, and the other likes to share this cool project/idea/product with as many people as possible. You know, the game of numbers against a sustainable big community. No matter what my brain contradicts with, the counter looks nice!
2022-01-26T18:47:25Z	(#kwbpvsq) I think I should ask before (excuse me if I missed that part of the discussion somewhere else), what's the purpose of having a counter of users? Honestly curious from a design perspective
2022-01-26T18:51:12Z	In local news you don't care about, a pigeon stepped on an electricity line, something exploded (including the pigeon) and I don't have electricity at home. It makes you think a lot...
2022-01-26T19:28:09Z	(#fqpn4qa) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> due to my background in automation and robotics, I think it's cool by itself. And for my new discipline on art and design, I think it joins the subjective aspect of art.

Buuuut I think it does something similar to the Useless Boxes...
If its purpose is to be useless, well... A nice paradox to design
2022-01-26T19:33:40Z	(#kwbpvsq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> By the way, most of them are located in English speaking countries. Is anyone here interested in having one for Hispanic content? I'm in MX, BTW
2022-01-26T23:38:14Z	(#g2bkkqa) xD sadly everything happened in a second. Poor pigeon...
2022-01-26T23:43:51Z	(#kwbpvsq) @<homer https://twtxt.net/user/homer/twtxt.txt> well... I don't have a quick answer. I'm part of Texto-Plano and the activity and members are less than 1/10 than in some other places I like. But in smol communities that's a feature not a bug, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree that English is the language of the Internet, the new Lingua franca, I've even written in my log about it. And even if Spanish is in the Top 10 most spoken languages, its influence is not that big in certain communities (like Dev).
2022-01-26T23:48:18Z	(#fa4qtkq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> My question goes more by: Is it interesting for someone of our acquaintances to have content in another language and from another culture?

And, how to eventually support multiple languages in Yarn?. Has been a problem on Antenna, for instance, where you can't easily filter content in languages you don't know. Or maybe leaving it as English first is just OK.

As a foreigner, supporting i18n has been an interest of mine, but also I know it's about working with minorities and involves #<a11y https://twtxt.net/search?tag=a11y>, so it's not an easy conversation.
2022-01-27T03:52:00Z	(#xzqnrla) @<david https://netbros.com/user/david/twtxt.txt> Hey, interesting link and discussion.
I think everything was screwed up when we stopped having the concept of directories, and the resources were not files, like on some Restful APIs and such.

And then the frameworks place their own ideas for managing routing. I've had the question, what's 'better'? 

My preference as a user are shortest URLs although I get the point of the trailing slash and the correctness behind the absolute and relative links.
I leave this link as an additional ref https://blog.cdivilly.com/2019/02/28/uri-trailing-slashes

2022-01-29T16:44:04Z	This Friday I had the chance to change the routine a bit. My wife and I watched "Mary and the Witch's Flower", it really connected with my mood.
(Possible spoilers ahead) ~~It's a cute one, with good animation, a decent story and that bittersweet feeling of innocence and growth.~~
(End of spoilers)

Also, reading a few books in English and Spanish, including "Information Doesn't Want to Be Free". It makes you think a lot about the services and products we use and consume (like that movie I mentioned).
2022-01-29T16:47:43Z	(#vbpdqvq) I forgot to add. The soundtrack 🎶 is amazing! (Everything IMO)
2022-01-30T18:35:03Z	(#teequ3a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> as a fan of encryption and privacy, I think signing and encrypting messages are not only desirable but needed, I'd like to see it in action. The downside, as some have discussed is the UX pains for those clients not supporting the extension.
On the other hand, Saltpack or PGP are great for messaging/email, I understand twtxt is not for that. In a similar way, Twitter allows private messaging in the same App, but in a different section. Same with most Social Services.
2022-01-30T18:37:14Z	(#teequ3a) I see a use case for signing messages. It could be like the Twitter verification for public messages.

For encryption, as in only a few users can decrypt the message, I can't see it. Like "Sharing personal information with friends", why do you want to do that on a public channel? Use a private messaging system, or the section inside the service you use.
2022-01-30T18:42:37Z	(#teequ3a) To clarify, I was thinking before (and even discussed in TextoPlano but it had no traction) on a public channel where you store messages that anyone can read, but only a person with the private key can decrypt. 

I think the concept is cool, even if I've read the security advice from Signal, Session and other IM services, about things I was forgetting on security and strong encryption. Here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/1013.pdf

With that said, I don't see how twtxt could be a good place for that kind of encrypted messages. Am I missing something?
2022-01-31T03:15:00Z	(#phdhdyq) @<david https://netbros.com/user/david/twtxt.txt> I don't want to discourage any idea, indeed I think it's a good one. I've read the whole RFC 770, so I think I understand the result, but not the why. My concern comes from the overhead of having to:
- Manage a lot of keys (with the problems it creates of string private keys)
- Decrypt every message once it arrives
- Not having a way for the non-compatible browsers to hide this content.
2022-01-31T03:20:01Z	(#phdhdyq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> 
"Same argument can be applied to Encrypted Email using GPG", IMO a more accurate one would be encrypting IRC (although you can send messages in a group/channel or in private). Email is a thing with senders and receivers. Everything on twtxt is public by default, so adding a layer of private content on top of something public first, is weird in my mind... Having a different feed sounds good, like the 'semi-public' channel idea I told in my first message.
2022-01-31T03:22:06Z	(#phdhdyq) It seems I'm missing the conversation on IRC in #<Yarn https://twtxt.net/search?tag=Yarn>.social. I'm looking forward to seeing the result of the RFC. I can't add anything else for now😄

2022-02-23T18:54:02Z	For a few years, I've been thinking about writing a book (in Spanish to start).

Now I'm starting to write one on how to create a Poker Texas Hold 'em on Unity and C#...
Let's see how it goes for this 1st experiment
2022-03-02T18:49:37Z	I've been tweeting a lot in Spanish, but had forgotten of writing here :o

Don't have anything cool to share, rather than saying I'm alive and family is doing fine.
2022-03-02T18:52:58Z	(#zrpwznq) @<jan6 https://twtxt.net/user/jan6/twtxt.txt> I was thinking a lot about that.

I love the series of books Head First from O'Reilly, and was considering that format.
But for videogames, I've been taking a lot of video courses on Udemy and is much simpler to share how to use Unity, which is extremely GUI oriented.
2022-03-02T18:56:09Z	(#zrpwznq) Currently is more of 'I want to write a book' since it gives you more prestige points than a video course, and because I have done videos, podcasts, classes in college, and such, but never a book, even with the challenges you mention.

And then you can write a tutorial on a Web page, create a digital book, or even a physical one. From all that I'd go with the Digital book. More ecological, easy to distribute... But a friend is telling me that Amazon has strong systems of print on demand, so it's always an option.
2022-03-02T18:57:22Z	(#zrpwznq) Note: I don't like Amazon that much, I don't buy physical books anymore, I read a lot on my kindle.

That said, I'd need to know where the public is reading, and what they want to read. So it's more like designing a product for an audience, than for me. But that's something I have to decide soon.
2022-03-23T17:59:16Z	I think I have too many micro-blogging services now...

2022-04-12T23:57:51Z	[Ask HN: When did tech stop being cool?](https://hackerweb.app/#/item/31001155)

Well... How to say it? Is not that isn't cool anymore, but we are getting older and surrounded (or perhaps overwhelmed) by technology going extremely fast.
2022-04-13T00:05:59Z	(#o3cxqba) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I would pay! Since I have spare money and no free time (or will) to set up everything.

I was thinking of creating my instance of Yarn.social (mainly in Spanish, since I'm using Twitter a lot to share professional stuff), but then I got to learn some stuff, and paying a few bucks is faster (for me).

If I got to pay 5-10 USD for a VPS (plus my time setting up everything), and I get a service someone else is maintaining for, we say, 3 USD/month, it's a no-brainer for me. But I don't know how many people like me there are.

I think the hook is in having a not so painful price point and also making it hard to stop paying for it. Example: I pay Spotify, and now I cannot cancel, since my wife and father-in-law are using it, and I want to avoid that conflict of telling them that I'm cheap, so I pay 7 USD / month, and I get music w/o ads a few times a week.
2022-04-13T00:09:00Z	(#o3cxqba) @<will https://twtxt.net/user/will/twtxt.txt> I'm surprised by Wikipedia. I know their monthly cost is impressive, and they manage to get funds to keep the lights on.

I don't know the details, I think having encyclopedic universal knowledge is more worthy than a social/personal network, but no idea. You left me an itch of researching more about it.
2022-04-13T16:07:48Z	(#nl4x36q) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> Reverse psychology perhaps?
2022-04-13T16:12:53Z	(#o3cxqba) **Put my money where my mouth is!**

As I've discussed previously (taken from the book 'Predictably irrational') money changes everything. From a favour now you have the obligation to keep lights on, and some predictability on how everything works.
From a friend giving stuff for free, now you are a supplier. That's why free social networks are in that Uncanny valley of being free, but arguably you are the product. 

It's an interesting experiment to charge for some part of the product (even being a non-profit). You'll see how people change. (And that's not bad, but part of self-sustainability)

2022-04-26T17:29:27Z	(#rynwiqq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Unfortunately there is a need in the corporate for centralized platforms to help make more money...

And from gamers using centralized platforms (iOS, Android, Xbox, Switch, Playstation) to communicate with other players in that realm.

Aaaand, I'm guilty too. I use Discord at work, and kind of like it (I hate Slack).

I have tried to use open IM, but no one (of business people, our audience, friends and family) uses them, so the network effect is strong here.
2022-04-26T23:09:04Z	(#ht5xqba) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I've been there, working for a huge corporation... Now I'm kinda doing the same in my small indie company, trying to find a purpose and many things more besides money (really necessary) 

I don't want to say we are hopeless, I guess we are finding something there to walk the steps to something higher, but perhaps it's going slower than we wish.
2022-04-26T23:20:08Z	(#ht5xqba) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> The remaining quote says that finding the answer takes a whole life.

For me, it has changed every year, I guess solving problems bigger than us is something aspirational, but finding the balance with our health isn't easy, or at least it hasn't been for me.

2022-05-15T03:24:58Z	(#vg6grrq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> a problem with Twitter is that you 'cannot' serve ads based on keyword searches.
It could be perhaps by hashtags, people you follow, or similar.
2022-05-16T19:54:05Z	(#dk2ai5a) @<ullarah https://txt.quisquiliae.com/user/ullarah/twtxt.txt> the team switched from 5 to 4-day work last month, and it has been kind of strange. But since I'm giving classes on Saturdays, has been refreshing!

How have you felt of the switch?
2022-05-17T16:26:33Z	I have used Windows OS for almost 30 years. I don't dislike it that much. (And I use Android, iOS, macOS, -buntus, Debian, etc, at the same time)

But this week, I wanted to log in and I couldn't use my PIN or Fingerprint for unknown reasons, and since I wasn't using my password I forgot it. Damn, those strange cases where things don't work as expected.

2022-05-17T17:50:27Z	I'm thinking of operating a 'twtxt . es' pod (for content in spanish/español)

It's gonna cost something like 100 USD/year (domain + hosting), nothing excessive, but I have some weird feeling about paying on stuff not being used that much. Thoughts?
2022-05-18T16:27:46Z	(#qfztrga) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Sorry, I don't get the meaning of running coat, is it a kind of hosting service?
2022-05-18T16:30:50Z	(#qfztrga) @<mutefall https://twtxt.net/user/mutefall/twtxt.txt> we could try it 🤔

I want to invite more Spanish-speaking people to Twtxt and kind of separate conversations in another language. I could buy and manage the domain, and if you'd like to share resources would be great. Later if it grows, we might share expanses or something.
2022-05-18T16:32:24Z	(#qfztrga) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> I started an experiment with my own domain, and Vultr it's costing something like 6 USD/month.

I agree, more pods the cooler!
2022-05-18T22:15:35Z	(#6ibrxca) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> haha 😆, gotcha!
2022-05-22T04:12:57Z	(#2i6b3va) @<mutefall https://twtxt.net/user/mutefall/twtxt.txt> Stupid Moore's and Koomey's laws. It's incredible to me how we have exponentially more computing power, only by waiting.

Also, it's being invisible to us. We have a lot of magical systems (GPS, WiFi, Cryptography, Cell phones) and now we don't value that much what's happening behind the scenes.

For me it's a matter of adapting to the current reality, and fighting against my nostalgia (everything was better before), but at the same time slowing down the stupid speed of innovation.
2022-05-24T04:14:56Z	(#5jmg2aq) There is the web3 and Web 3.0 (as a successor for Web 2.0), one more oriented to distributed and federated content, another with everything on top of a currency, so every stored bit costs some gas.

And although I don't dislike the good parts of cryptocurrency, being the cryptography behind it and the potential of decentralized power behind it, I'm not too fond of the interests it brings. Since it's designed from the core for monetary value, it attracts people aiming for the best Return on investment not caring for the environment (there is a debate about green energies by 2022).

I know that a Hobbyist net, an Indieweb, and a Hyper profitable net are going to be different between them, their core values are different, and there is a space for all of them. 
I don't think Web3 is going to be self-sustainable since there is no balance between losers and winners.
2022-05-24T04:16:42Z	(#5jmg2aq) I won't say it's important to kill them. How are we going to do it?

I think it's going to implode itself since it doesn't have the benefits of a Hobbie, with people sustaining the infrastructure for the sake of it.
Nor the self-sustainability of a commercial net, where the profits are higher than the cost of operating them.
2022-05-24T13:30:26Z	(#vbtd5ba) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Well, it should be decentralized, like in every computer having a copy of the whole blockchain (400 GB for Bitcoin up to 2022). Since that's not feasible, now everything is semi-decentralized or fully centralized, and perhaps is not been distributed, if you consume the blockchain on the same APIs... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I agree with you.
2022-05-24T13:37:46Z	(#vbtd5ba) What I think about those technologies is that version 1.0 is extremely inefficient (energy consumption, niche market), have horrible UX (like slow transactions, having to centralize the transactions to make them easier to use) and requires some early adopters willing to ignore the defects of the current solution. 

So it's a double edged sword to me. Yeah, changing the status quo, and using cool technology is appealing to scientists (AI/magical algorithms, is that you?), but the problems it actually creates are worth considering. It reminds me of a quote from Jurassic Park.

Maybe Web3.5 will fix some, maybe everything will disappear. Who knows?

Over here my main one has been Brave (after ditching Opera for not supporting the chrome's Dark Mode). But lately, I've been using a bit more Edge, Firefox, Libre Wolf on Windows 10, and Firefox Nightly on Android
2022-06-11T18:44:17Z	On Mastodon and Podcasts (in Spanish) there was a discussion about consuming blogs on RSS. Besides podcasting, RSS has been dead for me, or at least I've had many years without actively using it.

Today for research purposes I opened The Old Reader with my account of 2010 and it was a blast of nostalgia, old blogs, content creators and even relatives sharing their content about 12 years ago... #<dontTryThisAtHome https://twtxt.net/search?tag=dontTryThisAtHome>
2022-06-11T18:47:35Z	(#2hlggeq) Haha, this is gold! I love the sarcastic tone.

I think RSS switched to Social Media, then to email newsletters, but I agree with @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> on being mainly for the lack of discoverability in browsers.

On Gemini I use Antenna, or even Telegram channels to push the content to me. I don't know, I'm not an avid consumer of blogs, and that's perhaps the reason I don't like to receive content in aggregators. IDK.
2022-06-11T18:52:27Z	(#2hlggeq) Another point is that with RSS you don't control what you receive. I was getting hundreds of new entries, generating a sense of _this is too much_. When I visit a site like Hacker News, I look over the last day, and it's OK if I miss content from weeks ago.

Being a fan of Inbox Zero, I like to unsubscribe from content not attractive to me or only receive a weekly summary (like that from IndieHackers.com). With RSS I feel I receive a push of **everything** the blog has created.

But again, I haven't used it in years.
2022-06-11T20:04:48Z	(#2hlggeq) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> Interesting, it reminds me a bit of twtxt, where the content and the notifications are in a single file
2022-06-12T00:01:42Z	(#ixsqiza) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> I get your point, perhaps I'd say it went to email, then social media, and it's coming back to mail.

You'd be surprised at how many people are reading email newsletters nowadays, trying to flee from media and using the evergreen email.

I found this random link from the marketing side, but I'd like to have numbers from the hobbyist side, comparing usage of RSS vs email, for instance:
https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/email-marketing-stats
2022-06-12T00:02:53Z	(#2hlggeq) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> this one? https://moonmoon.org

I guess I used it many moons ago (pun intended), thanks for the reminder!
2022-06-13T21:21:24Z	(#ji42lkq) @<retrocrash https://twtxt.net/user/retrocrash/twtxt.txt> yep, I was going to share the bip-39 spec, thanks for pointing it out.
A regular passphrase, like taking a random quote from a book is not ideal, perhaps the equivalent to using **'password123'**

I switched from using long random passwords like 
```qayxTW7rr8T95V8b8ZHV4QMHcaTssVqDwEEr3Hzr```
to
```Ream4-Cope-Daringly-Waving-Likeness-Urchin-Arise```

They are easier to type, and have similar entropy (if used correctly)

As @<retrocrash https://twtxt.net/user/retrocrash/twtxt.txt> says, the real problem is with  ```allowed_chars <= 50``` even for long passwords or simpler passphrases, which is stupid since the hashed password uses the same amount of chars. Perhaps allowing up to 100 or 200 chars is good enough, and maybe rejecting some special characters like emojis, no idea.

I've replaced the battery twice, and the screen once (I dropped the phone), besides that it's pretty decent hardware. I won't say they are better than Android, but for the price, you receive something good.
2022-06-14T15:13:45Z	(#eijedvq) @<hacker-news https://feeds.twtxt.net/hacker-news/twtxt.txt> well, that has happened since the iPhone appeared. With more expensive hardware, you are more willing to spend more on the hard stuff (cases, accessories), and the soft part (apps of 1-10 USD, perhaps)

2022-08-04T16:15:51Z	(#envp4vq) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> Wow, that's a good definition for the problem to solve. Was a pleasant surprise.
(Random story ahead) The name is pretty relatable for me since I heard that word in a Popular Mechanics magazine a few years ago about the band. 

Do you have some screenshots or a quick video to watch how is it going? I know programmers are more text-based but an appealing image is always useful to share the visual idea behind it.

Something that has happened to me with FitBot is that if I leave the project in a theoretical way, only writing about it, and thinking about how to create it, I get sick of the idea. So I need some users (starting with me) to feel the product/software/service is alive.

2022-08-05T02:59:45Z	I'm thinking of starting (another) Side project / Hobby project. Also, I've been writing about my projects (mostly games) in the last few years. For me, it's a source of learning, validation and portfolio, but I have bitter-sweet feelings on the results.

I have mixed feelings, since when it's a Hobby project is not a big deal leaving it 'incomplete', without users, and such. But as a Side project which could at least earn some bucks to pay the expenses, there is some pain in not having traction as a product.

Any general advice?
2022-08-06T00:46:30Z	(#7ldrcdq) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> interesting question. When I reached the drawing board I got the same question. Should we register everything? Calories, distance, steps, time and such?

I thought it was going to be tedious to type every kind of info, so I went down to a single number representing I did any exercise, being the final goal to do more.

It was burned calories for me...
2022-08-06T00:52:40Z	(#7ldrcdq) So unless you have an automatic way to store all that geeky data, I'll suggest to ask for the min amount of numbers.

That said, anything user-configurable is a pain in the back since you have to add editors, validators, tutorials and such. I wouldn't do it yet, unless you have a paying user or similar. Perhaps you can add 2 or 5 presets which you can rename for general purposes. And then you store the amounts for that activity and have an equivalent number across exercises, again, like calories.
2022-08-06T01:03:33Z	(#7ldrcdq) To avoid premature optimization you can have room for further expansions but not implementing it yet. For instance saying "this record is version 1" if it's V2, then look into this other table with more details.

Just a wild idea, it would depend on your current architecture and how much it could change soon

2022-08-23T13:11:53Z	(#oa3m5qa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Well... I got to start with a disclaimer, I'm a content creator and a content consumer/user.

I'm not receiving anything from my content but it would be nice. I live in a hobbyist network (creating and consuming paying with time) and in the commercial one as well. I pay for some content and don't pay for some other. I use uBlock and Vanced. I get frustrated when in groups of 'profesional' people, books and magazines are shared shamelessly. I pay for Spotify, and I download music from YouTube. I hate the first 2 minutes of ads and bumpers. I have read "Information doesn't want to be free" and I know there is a fight between everything online has to be open vs closed and paywalled.

All that said, well... The problem is deeper, comes again from the recommendation algorithms shaping our lives and that's the real danger. That's why instead of organic or automatic recommendation, they need the subscription, to avoid their channel being forgotten due to 527 videos before and short-term memory.
2022-08-23T13:14:53Z	(#oa3m5qa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I agree with the last part, it happens with Spotify and some streaming platforms. You pay for it and you receive ads, like with some magazines.

I think the first step is not consuming that content, next one is to fomplain, and las part is becoming a monk and stop using digital content < /s>

2022-09-09T21:23:00Z	(#mazysgq) @<will https://twtxt.net/user/will/twtxt.txt> Well, it feels like... hmm, a tool for communities? Rather than a Forum with Karma (like Reddit used to be)

2022-09-12T03:10:46Z	(#4b7rluq) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> hehe, yeah, it's hard. I'm having a lot of reverb and I need to invest on acoustic isolation and such.

Now the problem with my home studio is the ventilation and avoiding noise from outside. 

Any tips to reduce noise and echoes?
2022-09-12T03:13:03Z	(#erafajq) @<carsten http://yarn.zn80.net/user/carsten/twtxt.txt> for me Rust has been difficult to keep interest on. I don't have a background on C for computers (only microprocessors) or C++.

That said, I'm starting with Ruby and Rails, which is more interesting for my background on PHP, Python, JS, C# and such... 

Let see how it goes

2022-09-13T15:02:20Z	(#4b7rluq) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> I'm more on recording videos and podcasts, aaaand perhaps recording a bit of guitar.
2022-09-13T15:05:09Z	Writing on paper, and typing on the computer or the phone at the speed of speaking has been appealing for me although I came in a generation where that is not important anymore... You can use an AI to transcript voice to text, and such.

That said, I've been researching as a hobby on the old 'trends' like http://www.fordshorthand.com for handwriting, and http://opsahl.github.io/yash/ when you use a keyboard

Stay tuned...
2022-09-14T03:39:05Z	Today I was playing a bit with 'useless stuff' like Client Certificates, S/MIME email encryption, email certificates, passwordless ideas, and static web generators.

Aaaand also learning Ruby with the fantastic series of books Head First (I learned C#, I think, in 2008)

Was a nice Tuesday, he

2022-09-14T14:07:32Z	(#3hqx7vq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Thanks! Well, a vaultless password manager is not 'passwordless' but I get your point. Not having to actually remember a password.

I've been playing with https://spectre.app although I think having to remember a Master Password + your accounts makes it difficult to use for the average user. You have to remember how exactly the username is stored, or... Having a vault again.

I'm thinking more of getting a Dynamic password, like a 9 digits OTP or similar, with seeds/keys stored in some device, like we actually do for 2FA/TOTP. I'll be not a 2 factor authentication, so I'm going around in circles.
Also, I've heard of OPAQUE as a way to avoid transmitting passwords, but that's another topic https://ctrlc.hu/opaque/

And lastly (for my 280+ characters twt), I like WebAuth with multiple implementations. Perhaps with the support of OS designers, it would be easier for users https://www.wired.com/story/apple-passkeys-password-ios16-ventura/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/id
2022-09-14T14:18:15Z	(#3hqx7vq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> Thanks! So far it's looking awesome. Congrats on making it with PWAs, it has been an idea from my side, but haven't found time to do it. Kudos for including OTPs.

If I can suggest something, I started changing my passwords to Passphrases, since these are easier to type in some situations when I can't copy-paste them, and due to the length/entropy should be more secure

from
```SHCFELe-WpSjR*Zv9VCaFqc2t%Wq7HAvjrG?Ug6mB```
to
```Empathy-Move-Busybody-Tamper9-Curdle-Kilowatt-Vest-Unsaved```

I've seen BIP39 from the cryptocurrency world for deterministic creation of the phrase, but perhaps there is some open alternative for it https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki

2022-09-14T21:35:18Z	(#3hqx7vq) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> Sounds like an interesting project! 

I didn't know about v3 addresses, so I don't know the details rather than
```The address is "the first 80 bits of the SHA-1 of the 1024-bit RSA key"```

So, did the keyphrase work for the conversion? Perhaps you could use the BIP39 word list (with 2,048 instead of 65,536 from keyphrase)
2022-09-15T18:13:38Z	Today I was looking for a 'Random Group Generator' for my class, and found this interesting claim

```This Random List Generator uses an advanced algorithm to split a catalog of entries into the required number of teams or groups. The high-grade artificial intelligence allows it to convey a unique, exclusive, and unbiased result.```

2022-09-15T23:39:37Z	Today is Mexico's national day 🇲🇽 !
Let's enjoy a traditional dish with the family, and celebrate a bit
2022-09-16T16:56:40Z	(#me2jowa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Well, for this specific day, it's Red Pozole! I don't know how to describe it, but I leave a recipe so you can have an idea of the ingredients and perhaps the flavour (Disclaimer: It has pork meat, for any vegetarian here, but we often take a version with Soy, chicken or some other proteins)

https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/posole_rojo/
2022-09-16T16:58:29Z	(#me2jowa) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> Danke!
2022-09-16T19:56:11Z	(#me2jowa) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> It's on Sep 15th and 16th. Luckily it's a Friday today!
2022-09-16T20:46:11Z	#<stupidIdeaOfTheDay https://twtxt.net/search?tag=stupidIdeaOfTheDay> (based on one I found randomly on Reddit)

To avoid using Static passwords + TOTPs (like Google Authenticator codes), have a dynamic Single-factor authentication:
Sign the time (in blocks of 30 seconds like with TOTPS) with your private key, so you have passwords valid for 30-90 seconds. Allow at most 10 attempts every 30 seconds. Obviously, the server checks a valid signature with your registered public key.
For this, you can use an extension for your password manager as you are already doing to manage your static passwords + your TOTPs.

Similar to what Yubikey originally did. There are many weak points like Man in the middle, and phishing, and possible attacks over a known message, that were solved with WebAuthn, but it's a nice exercise to think about.
Disclaimer: Don't roll your own crypto
Disclaimer 2: Don't implement 1FA, if you can do 2FA or MFA =P
2022-09-17T02:52:12Z	(#qjbfs6q) Well, that's the Web 2.9, 3.0 or whatever the current version is. Some pages are quite pleasant to use, but I agree, it's a whole different experience with an ad blocker and without.
2022-09-17T13:56:47Z	(#iko74mq) Well, the login technique for SSH is great and works (you have to protect your key, but *nix OS makes it in a safer way)

For web browsing you have Client certificates or Webauthn which require a lot of configuration or external hardware, mostly difficult to use on a mobile device... 🤔

So, yeah, I'd like to find a good balance between easy to use and hacky
2022-09-17T13:58:22Z	(#iko74mq) You mean joining to something like
SSH eaplmx@twtxt.net

And having a TLI/CLI to manage the feeds?
That would be cool for hackers 😀
2022-09-17T14:02:49Z	Hehe, having used Win 3.11 I love the analogy.

I think we are more like in the ME age where everything is full of Ads and malware, we wanted everything for free at the reach of a download, and there were a lot of companies saying they could make money but didn't know how, and where desperately selling digital stuff without that much value, but shiny.
2022-09-17T15:29:10Z	Well, my Saturday classes start today. I'm excited :D
2022-09-17T23:34:14Z	(#mb2mkva) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> WTF!
2022-09-18T14:34:12Z	(#kgagkna) Well, I agree, here in MX I'm using a pre-paid "plan" for 7 USD/month with unlimited SMS (which I never use), unlimited calls (which I barely use to call my parents and to public services) and only 3 GB of data, with unlimited Meta network (which I'm using as few as possible)

And plans with "unlimited data" are relatively more expensive, like 15 USD/month
2022-09-18T14:36:12Z	(#kgagkna) Haha, I guess using the voice channel would be painfully slow, but brilliant, ha!

That said, I almost never use my 3 GB fully, since I have WiFI nearby, but for a long travel, could be cool 😎
2022-09-18T16:15:40Z	(#kgagkna) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> from my memory, I think the voice channel limits many audio frequencies to reduce bandwidth, and it should use lossy compression. I know the voice quality has improved with 4G and 5G (and audio technologies they use) but I don't currently know how friendly that is for data transmission and multiplexing. Interesting topic though
2022-09-18T16:27:41Z	(#kgagkna) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> well, my wife talks with my mother-in-law for hours so it shouldn't be a problem 😅
2022-09-18T16:33:29Z	Yesterday I had a conversation about reducing the amount of digital 'objects' we store and bytes used. For me, that's part of a Digital minimalism, but it seems that's not the mainstream definition, more related with the amount of time we use our devices. Interesting 🤔
2022-09-18T18:20:01Z	(#kgagkna) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> hey, if I remember correctly this is the answer I read before about the slow transfer speeds

https://superuser.com/a/748163
2022-09-18T18:22:05Z	(#kgagkna) interesting how a new kind of modem has to be designed for the GSM specs, and to know more about that serial port mentioned in the answers
2022-09-18T18:31:59Z	(#fghxd7a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Nice point, I tend to value my time more than inexpensive storage space for a few dollars a GB per month.
Although I add that due to time limitations it's useless to have 3 000 books to read and 300 movies to watch, distracting you and making it harder to prioritize.
2022-09-19T22:57:26Z	(#al2rgeq) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> It's looking great! I'd stay with the 3rd screenshot
2022-09-19T23:02:12Z	(#fgfjvqa) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> I like that idea. I try to follow the inbox-zero, although I like to keep at most 5 emails for something I'm working on this week so they are quickly reachable.

I try to uninstall and remove files not being used for more than a few months. And unfollowing people I haven't gotten in touch with for months.

Haven't used Optimizers in years (maybe for lazy reasons, the computer is working well) but I could give it a try
Aaaand, I'm trying to move away from Google Photos (which I've been using for 10+ years, so it's a lot of info) but I'm lazy again
2022-09-20T16:48:00Z	(#gcldhuq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I have an old iPhone 6 with iOS 10. I'll check if it's compatible yet
2022-09-20T18:53:33Z	(#coyqx5a) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> both?

I was thinking more of having a simple script to have a human-friendly view, and to practice Ruby.
Something like:
https://github.com/my5t3ry/twi

That said, I didn't know (or recall) about the IndieWeb, I'll take a look to it, thanks!
2022-09-21T16:25:49Z	(#k4xeska) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> hey! I've seen your picoblog and pixelblog before, and I got to say it is just what I was looking for (sadly it's in PHP =P, I haven't touched it in ages)

Thanks for sharing!
2022-09-21T19:39:10Z	(#k4xeska) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> But I want to mess around!
2022-09-21T19:44:09Z	(#k4xeska) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Ruby or Python, pick your posion. Indeed it could be Go or Nim =P

I don't dislike PHP, it's only that I haven't used it for years, maybe since the jump from PHP 5 to 7?
I've heard good things about PHP 8.
2022-09-21T19:44:38Z	(#k4xeska) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> Oh, thank you! Let me try it
2022-09-21T19:53:49Z	(#k4xeska) @<~eaplmx https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt> 👆 this is amazing! Thanks to the designer of this extension:
https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twthashextension.html

BTW I'm using the Python twtxt CLI which doesn't support the twthash, I've seen some ports to Go, but I wasn't able to make them work, mainly due to my lack of knowledge in Golang. Any suggestions for a better client?
2022-09-21T22:11:02Z	(#c23c36a) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> Thank you! I didn't remember that section :o

Looking at those options, it seems that _jenny_ requires _mutt_ (I don't use it) and perhaps won't be compatible with Windows (I have WSL, so it's not a problem), I can't find how to install _twet_, and _twtr_ looks better but says it's deprecated 🙃
2022-09-21T23:52:45Z	(#c23c36a) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> thanks!
2022-09-22T18:13:04Z	(#bc5csba) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> a quick question, I'm using twet (thanks for the recommendation), how do the clients announce between them that you have replied to a previous twt?

You have to follow the other person and the clients look for replies for each of your twts?
2022-09-22T19:32:16Z	(#bc5csba) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> You're welcome :)
2022-09-22T19:34:42Z	(#bc5csba) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> My question goes more in if someone replies to me, and I don't follow them, how can I know they is trying to do it?

I guess they need to contact me somehow to request a follow, right?
2022-09-22T19:36:13Z	(#bc5csba) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> Hey, I don't have these time labels 🤔
2022-09-22T21:45:07Z	(#bc5csba) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> Didn't know that, thanks!
2022-09-23T00:27:22Z	(#n5f7upa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> If I remember correctly, we were discussing a few months ago options like [Webmention](https://indieweb.org/Webmention), I have never used it, although sounds better in my mind than parsing the access_log.

That search engine you mention or a global Database of Twt hashes could help. I remember that Twitter users had an external search platform, acquired later by Twitter: https://techcrunch.com/2008/07/15/confirmed-twitter-acquires-summize-search-engine/

As @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> said, a comment in the txt file like: Notify me on this email, or automatically register your feed in this URL as Antenna does, would be a nice addition.
I assume that if you are replying you are interested in making a dual connection, so they can answer you back. Just thinking out loud.
2022-09-23T00:30:13Z	(#n5f7upa) BTW I'm watching I know almost nothing of Yarn =P
Like https://search.twtxt.net/stats
2022-09-23T13:38:53Z	(#n5f7upa) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> Didn't know about WebSub, it's really cool everything around the simple .txt file to make it work a a social protocol.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😀
2022-09-23T13:43:42Z	(#dtxio5a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> a MAU is every person using Yarn.social/twtxt.net at least once in the last 30 days ? BTW, that dashboard looks cool,

Congratulations, may those 100 MAUs be the first of many more 🥳🎉
2022-09-23T22:17:14Z	(#peh3rea) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> It looks like this over here ![](https://twtxt.net/media/rNrrVNjrwZ7CeSNCg7tVvi.png)
2022-09-24T12:10:21Z	(#7fs3pwq) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> interesting point.
Perhaps you've seen the official take [title](url) [Firefox removes core product support for RSS/Atom feeds | Use Tables!] (https://www.gijsk.com/blog/2018/10/firefox-removes-core-product-support-for-rss-atom-feeds/) 

"These features have long had outsized maintenance and security costs relative to their usage", which amounted to 0.01 percent of sessions.

Which could be innacurate since most power users disable telemetry.
Anyway, for some reason, most mainstream browsers avoid supporting Feeds, and I think it's a matter of advertising and trends. We could use a plugin/extension tho.
2022-09-24T12:15:20Z	(#7fs3pwq) personally, I haven't used Feeds like I used to do 10+ ago. I don't care about following blogs anymore, but following people and topics (on Twitter, Twtxt, etc) and curated content (newsletters, a bit of pinterest...), I don't read news anymore. I listed to a lot of podcast but the directories get the Feed URL for me. 

Perhaps that's a bad habit remaining from social media usage. Changing how I consume/get periodic content. Makes me think 🤔
2022-09-24T12:17:28Z	(#gsewnyq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> if _influence_ (c) is motivating to twt more often, I guess it's a good influence 😛
2022-09-24T12:21:51Z	(#gsewnyq) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> interesting, kudos for the hard work.

Saying something obvious here, I think twtxt as a plain text format is so easy to create but not so easy to consume and extremely hard to use as a conversations tool.

It's missing the famous 'network effect' to hook into real conversations. So it could transform into a communication protocol, rather than a timed text format.
2022-09-24T12:26:09Z	(#gsewnyq) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> I've seen much more than 9 Gemini accesible twtxt files, perhaps the capsules are down? 🤔

Also, what's the difference between found and accessible? Being linked in any page counts as found and then the link being broken makes it non accesible?
2022-09-24T12:32:53Z	(#7fs3pwq) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> yeah, I agree on the Feed icon and discoverability in general, following the trend that most web 2.0 services stopped supporting RSS (in 2010 I think?).
Again, it's like they don't want the common user to know that exists, perhaps for not promoting browsing the web but an alternative way to consume content (hiding most ads in the process)

And then Firefox includes Pocket, which is the first thing I disable 🙃
2022-09-24T12:39:25Z	(#7fs3pwq) I read about it a few years ago... http://camendesign.com/blog/rss_is_dying

I'm thinking if by 2022 that has changed significantly (at least it's not RSS anymore, but Atom and other hipster formats, I'm talking about Feeds as a concept)
2022-09-24T12:42:11Z	(#peh3rea) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> I did! Just wanted to share the surprise in case is rendered differently here

Great work with that XSLT!
2022-09-24T12:45:04Z	(#y3bp7ga) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> I'm on the cover!

2022-09-24T15:23:37Z	(#7fs3pwq) If I can add something, I disable now all the Home Pages with news. I don't care about them anymore, but I like models like Reddit/HackerNews/Lobste.ts/Antenna.

More in the model "I'll check them when I want, not when you are pushing it to me"

But that's another discussion.
2022-09-24T15:30:40Z	(#7fs3pwq) For people born after the 90s (no one here I suppose), this was Active Desktop:
 ![](https://twtxt.net/media/GhYNuB3TxhtMmWUQ7TT9LZ.png) 
Instead of a static image, show a Dynamic Web page refreshed every X minutes. Good memories of the old .com web portals of that age
2022-09-24T18:31:33Z	(#gsewnyq) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> Really interesting. What origin points you had? twtxt.net for instance?
2022-09-24T18:39:03Z	(#gsewnyq) I'm in #<236 https://twtxt.net/search?tag=236> (with a forgotten .txt I'm not planning to use anymore) and #<31 https://twtxt.net/search?tag=31> with this account. The one I started a few days ago is not there: https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt (I'm not complaining :P)

How do you find interconnections? With follows and mentions?
2022-09-24T18:47:33Z	(#sax4t6a) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Active Desktop and Channels were related but the latter is more related to RSS, on receiving new content automatically. Active desktop was only showing a web page. 

If I remember correctly, Internet Explorer 4.0 introduced a 'standard' to get low-bandwidth notifications to know when new content was available, but I can't recall if it were only the notification, or if you can read everything there, as you can do with RSS: [Push technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology)

Edit: I found it [Channel Definition Format](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Channel_Definition_Format)
2022-09-24T19:12:55Z	Related with my current conversation, what do you think of using twtxt.txt as a format for feeds?

Indeed I knew the format since it was used in Gemini capsules as a sort of Atom alternative
2022-09-25T04:24:28Z	(#wdu6cca) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> hey! CodeMadness.org has amazing projects 😀
2022-09-25T11:50:15Z	(#wdu6cca) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> I guess I didn't say it correctly.

I didn't know about that page, it's cool! 


About how do they use Twtxt as a feed, I agree on the problem you mention, and of the lack of a convention (unless we use the title/subject as someone suggested later) for automated parsing
2022-09-26T04:21:42Z	(#c4rokma) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> It's late over here, I'll try to take a look in the week but I briefly checked it since criptography has been a hobby interest for me.

That said, I think https://getsession.org or Jami, are more related to Salty than Signal.
2022-09-27T00:38:32Z	(#c4rokma) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I can't disagree, although if you read both proposals, they have some similarities on goals, use of libraries, anonymity and such. Anyways my bet is on all of you 😀

2022-09-27T02:03:36Z	(#hsouiwa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I get it. I think in the past we had the discussion about centralization, decentralization, distributed and even federated. It's an important distinction. 

I haven't read the Signal documentation, only used it (and then I moved to Telegram and Session). That said, why do you say or think that Salty is similar to Signal?

I'm suspecting of being more recognized as a brand that other hipster solutions, is that the case?
2022-09-27T02:06:40Z	(#hwlyrma) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> hehe, I leave 5-10 messages for what I'm working this or next week, but if I have more that 4 weeks w/o doing anything with it, it has to be archived.
2022-09-27T02:08:04Z	Well, after 9 hours driving, we can have a good rest and keep driving 4 more to officially start the 2022 vacations.
2022-09-27T14:34:35Z	In the case you like Football/Soccer ⚽ and card games, I'm working on this

2022-09-27T14:38:20Z	(#hsouiwa) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I would say there are only a few good thinks about cryptocurrency (disclaimer, I received funding to work on it) but now the bad parts overcame the few good things.
Usually I don't like to think on black and white terms, but different amounts of gray, which makes the conversation very hard for a few twts.
2022-09-27T14:39:36Z	(#hsouiwa) And another important distinction is between web3 (TM) and The Web 3.0

That being said, it's not what we expect. What would be better for us? Web 4.0, The Hobbyst Net? IDK
2022-09-27T20:20:04Z	(#hwlyrma) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> interesting, what email client/service you use?

2022-09-27T20:26:47Z	(#hsouiwa) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> hmmm, I wouldn't say more important, but something they value more. Until you have an attack or an identity theft you know the real value of your privacy. Until that moment it's 'worthless', and for that reason the time required to take care of that is infinitely expensive

2022-09-28T23:43:47Z	(#hsouiwa) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> what's the difference? a lot!

Example: Health is important for a good quality of life, but if you don't care about your life (in the short term at least), you won't take care of something important.

2022-09-29T03:11:48Z	(#64wq5na) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I guess we could consider the original version like 0.9, the current one 1.0 and the yarn extensions the 1.1 like with HTTP, hehe
And then we could wait 20 years for the 2.0

2022-10-01T13:01:45Z	Hello everyone, I'm enjoying my vacation over here, but checking twtxt.net has been a good hobbie to think about a community/platform creation. I've seen also some work on specifications, protocols and such.

I got to say it's a nice conversation
2022-10-01T13:05:07Z	I've trying to create the habit to write more about my work (what brings money to my family) and my passions (that brings some additional joy that work sometimes can't bring) 

I'm using https://enso.sonnet.io and has been amazing to focus on one line at the time, instead on overthinking on a complicated text, it's more similar to have a conversation. That's something I like from microblogging (ignoring some disadvantages of async communication with small messages)
2022-10-01T13:08:15Z	(#wfks6hq) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Stupid sexy money ![](https://twtxt.net/media/gqoNfcVdyvryZg6b9Rnd33.png)
2022-10-01T13:13:37Z	(#y5lfinq) it has been a (complicated) topic for us. Sustaining the project for a decent amount of time, among with the interest of the users, the volunteers working on it, and paying the bills. 

Keeping something on for free is extremely difficult when there is an scarcity of resources (like free time or spare money coming from a wage).
Perhaps an incentivized donation is better? I recall that Wikipedia has enough money and anyway they ask for donations in a passive-aggressive way 🤔
2022-10-01T16:29:59Z	(#2kz3tdq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> 😃✌️
2022-10-01T16:31:58Z	For this travel I'm using a forgotten laptop (Dell Inspiron of 2012 I think) and it's working amazingly with a new SSD and Xubuntu 22.04

And now, I'm updating my personal VPS (eapl.mx/eapl.me) to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and also doing some clean up of personal stuff.

Looks like a nice saturday over here
2022-10-01T16:46:36Z	And lastly, I'm researching to install Piwigo in the server as an alternative to Google Photos which has been really convenient for the last 10 years, but we all know the privacy concerns.

Do you have another alternative to Google Photos? I'm looking for:
- A simple way to upload my photos from a few mobile phones (mainly Android) to the cloud
- I don't care about web or public galleries
- I remove most of the photos from the phone, to check them with Google Photos App and sometimes with the Web site
2022-10-01T17:26:44Z	(#mokebma) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> It looks like a whole replacement for G Suite, G Drive and more :o

Interesting, thanks for sharing!
2022-10-01T17:57:10Z	I was checking in my notes from 2019, that before using https://enso.sonnet.io, I used Calmly Writer 

https://www.calmlywriter.com/online/

Pretty similar but w/o the fading lines. What do you use to write your texts?
2022-10-01T19:24:24Z	(#t7xx45a) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> I've been trying to learn (neo)vim and replace Nano, VS Code and VStudio, but has been a difficult curve.

Creating quick notes sounds like a simple case to practice.
2022-10-02T00:33:45Z	(#de4z5gq) @<maya https://maya.land/assets/twtxt.txt> consumerism vs minimalism?
2022-10-02T23:32:02Z	(#zdoiiua) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> well, I think that's a feature to avoid censorship. But that's a problem as well with some content like child porn or leaked files.

I'm not a heavy user, I got to say, but it sounds like an interesting technology for some specific use cases
2022-10-02T23:34:10Z	(#t7xx45a) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I use VSCode on Ubuntu and Win, how inconvenient is to use Codium talking about the updates, plug-ins and such?
2022-10-02T23:50:43Z	Now I'm connecting from the Android client Goryon.

It seems the latest version is from 2020 but at the same time looks like is fetching the Twts correctly. 🤔
2022-10-02T23:52:04Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#t7xx45a) you use VSCode with Neovim? I don't know how that's posible, is that a plugin inside Neovim?
2022-10-03T00:31:12Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#dwmipmq) need any help with that?

I was looking for a side project, for instance a twtxt reader on Unity/C# but could be something different
2022-10-03T00:33:10Z	@<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#eptljpq) what about mirroring it to IPFS and linking the hash 😛
2022-10-03T00:39:05Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#dwmipmq) Sorry, I haven't used Flutter nor Dart enough, just Hello worlds... Currently I'm looking for a good platform to aim for job opportunities (besides Game Dev which is unstable) and interesting projects for the portfolio. 

If you recommend me learning it, and you might wait a few weeks, I could try.

About publishing on Android and iOS, and doing QA, that's what I do every day.
2022-10-03T02:28:02Z	(#dwmipmq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Thanks for the advice! I worked on Cordova and Ionic in 2016, with React Native in 2018-2019, and I switched to Unity for the last 3 years, so I suppose I have foundations to learn Flutter.

I was learning Ruby to join a possible back-end project, but why not start learning Dart/Flutter to see how it goes?
BTW is this the current repo?
https://git.mills.io/eldersnake/goryon

Finally, I need to understand better Salty.im, since I tried to use it a few months ago and I was unable to connect. Working on a Messaging App would be awesome, but really complicated due to all the requirements. We should try chatting there in following days.
2022-10-03T20:37:55Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#dwmipmq) OK, I'll take a look into the repo and I'll start with the Hello World after the vacations
2022-10-03T20:39:06Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#dwmipmq) I tried to setup the DNS configs in my server and running the Go client but I received some errors and never tried again.

I could try again, and send you a msg.
2022-10-03T20:40:46Z	After a few hours driving to the North 🚘, we are gonna take some rest before the last part, to return home 🏡

2022-10-04T12:27:01Z	Well, we'll start driving for 10 hours to arrive home 🏡

And in the meantime I'll be thinking about appealing stuff to work on for the next few months.
2022-10-04T12:30:03Z	In my mind I currently have:
What tech stack should I master on the next few months? I'm thinking in a Unity, Flutter, RoR

Also, what should I do with the Game Studio? In thinking on restructure it from the scratch, stating as a co-op, redesigning how to bring resources to create new products.

And for me and my family, I think we are doing OK, but need resources for the next immediate goals

So I have a lot to think, but at the same time I should not obsess overthinking 🙃
2022-10-04T12:32:54Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#fxiti6q) hehe, it was a surprising conversation, I wasn't expecting your response and suddenly it happened.

As a UX designer myself, I would say there is many things to improve, forgive me for that 😁
But after the setup, it's working amazingly, congrats!

Working on a IM is not an easy task, and I can see a lot of effort behind the 'simple' experience of sending messages. Kudos for that!
2022-10-04T23:29:39Z	(#v2sqjya) and we are at home 🏡 over and out until tomorrow

In FB it depends on VC capital, expecting to suddenly have a monopoly. In Hobbyst projects we run with our pockets and those donations could never come.
2022-10-05T12:55:25Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> (#x3esqjq) we understand the capitalist issues (aiming for the maximum profit, owning the production means and making the investors happy)
Sadly, removing the money interest doesn't remove the money supplies need to run the operations.

I think co-ops are a good middle, where the users or the workers are at the same time micro-investors, so the have the bones in it, instead of being an external capitalist investor (only bringing money)
2022-10-05T12:57:43Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> (#x3esqjq) that said, the model of Reddit, as a modern forum with karma and basically every topic or subreddir available is appealing, and has the main network effect.

I've looking for some other alternatives, HckrNews, lobsters, and some decentralized ones. What do you use for your Hobbyst interests?
2022-10-05T12:59:03Z	I should retake my text about the Hobbyst Net vs the Commercial Net

P. S. Both run over the 'Internetz'
2022-10-05T13:01:39Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> (#6m74qpq) he, yesterday I tunerd on an Android 13 phone I haven't used in a week and I received a notification to update about 40 apps (I install every update manually to read what are they about) . It's insane as a user.

Also I updated some Ubuntus I have (Desktop and VPS) and it's the same, dozens of updates which I only say, Yes to all.
2022-10-05T13:05:27Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> (#6m74qpq) as a developer, well, in some way I like from some platforms to feel pressured to update, othrteidr you'll never find time to do it, but at the same time you do the barely minimum to comply with the reqs.

That said, yes, I see a planned obsolescence in everything. For instance the topic in my industry today was the discontinuation of Amazon Game Sparks so many important games won't have online matches until the Devs achieve replace on a rush the online system. (I mean in a rush since it's not a priority until it occurs)
2022-10-05T13:08:59Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> (#6m74qpq) sorry for the typos 🙃

On the updates, I'm in the middle, I understand of being always on beta, more if the development model is like that (Google vs Apple mindsets for instance,  buying a product vs being the product)

What could we do to avoid that feeling?

2022-10-05T20:35:06Z	@<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> (#s74x2ea) something I'd like is to have an 'app' to twt, currently I connect to my server on ssh, but it takes many steps.
I was thinking on having the easiest possible way to do it, but I don't want a whole website for it.

I've seen some single PHP script for it, but my server doesn't have support for PHP (yet)...
So, it's a not so painful problem for me, right now

2022-10-06T02:18:05Z	(#7yh73ia) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>, I'll only add that Bitcoin as the 'first' massive cryptocurrency is a vast social experiment, appealing to me as a hacker.

But as with many 'successful' experiments it's going out of control. Currently, there are 9k+ different cryptocurrencies, each one trying to improve over the previous, or at least promising new things, and that's where the promises are not going to be fulfilled. It's easiest to promise a nicer future than to actually achieve it.

I can't say every crypto + currency system is evil or good. That's ideology, oversimplification appealing to our emotions. 'Money is the root of all evil' is BS, the real quote is 'the love of money is the root of all evil'. I'll say it's the same for Cryptocurrencies. Fanaticism and cult behaviour is the bad part IMO.
2022-10-06T02:21:18Z	(#7yh73ia) As with the example of the gun, designed to kill people, vs the knife to cook, that could be used to kill someone. Money is not moral, but the monetary systems are. That's the tricky part.

As a scientist, I always have to remind: "Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
That's where 'good' intentions like Google with the "don't be evil" motto, suddenly, get evil. A search engine is cool. A whole company designed to sell users' data, not so much. The same thing with anything to store value, it's tightly connected with power, and that *may* show the worst part of humans.
2022-10-06T02:36:33Z	Yeah, it's working!

2022-10-06T18:50:06Z	@<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> (#4g3xjvq) you'll be surprised how many people spend on things we don't understand...
2022-10-06T19:42:53Z	(#fh6ymua) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> Interesting, let me see...

1. I'm out of context, why do we need this? (As a community of users and developers, I think)

2. I'm reading:
```
The goal is to provide a database that can be fetched periodically to receive a
list of twtxt feed URLs that are known to be wrong for whatever reason.
```
'Wrong for whatever reason' is too vague in my mind, doesn't help me to understand how it's useful, I think specific reasons would be better like 'File name changed', 'Domain changed', 'URL not available anymore/Gone forever' and such could be easier to understand.

3. What would happen if two URLs have changes, you take the most recent one?

4. Who's gonna be the main user? Systems like Yarnd checking for changes to auto-correct broken links?

These are my first impressions, and not wanting to say something wrong, it looks appealing. Kudos for the initiative!
2022-10-06T19:47:55Z	(#fh6ymua) Another one, when a resource is available in multiple places, like Gopher, HTTP and Gemini (and IPFS, why not?), are there going to be N registries?

Wild idea, how about using the HTTP response codes https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status or from Gemini https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.gmi

Just joking, I think it could be used for some digital services, Amazon, Digital Ocean, or similar 🤔
2022-10-07T14:37:50Z	The main issue I'm currently having with the implementation of WebAuthn in my personal service is the concept that a user only has 1 password but 1..N auth devices 🤔

#<firstWorldProblems https://twtxt.net/search?tag=firstWorldProblems>
2022-10-07T17:46:00Z	@<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> (#2fkr5fq) does it happen? 😮 Didn't know
2022-10-08T01:06:12Z	(#46rqmia) @<~eaplmx https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt> If any of you reading this wants to try a stupidly simple WebAuthn/Passkey workflow, go here:
https://eapl.mx/twtxt/signup.html
And then:
https://eapl.mx/twtxt/

If you did that correctly, you'll reach the 'Write your twtxt here' part, (but you'll have to guess the password, muahaha)

That's my progress for today, it took longer than expected, I haven't developed in PHP, and forgot the details on file permissions, binary data for cryptography and such. Besides that, it has been a cool exercise.
2022-10-08T01:11:32Z	@<~eaplmx https://texto-plano.xyz/~eaplmx/twtxt.txt> (#46rqmia) I forgot to add, in the Sign up you don't need a password currently, that will be used later to avoid that anyone could register their device as a valid login.

Also, this is a sandbox, don't take this workflow as an inspiration for any production ready site.

That said, it's a classic alternative

I'd suggest something line "Send an access to your email", "Send a Magic link", etc.
2022-10-10T05:19:21Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> (#npkkadq) Same! It's not arriving to my Proton.me/Protonmail inbox, nor Spam.
2022-10-10T05:23:12Z	@<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> (#jfk2upq) thanks for sharing!  magic links have a few problems, although it's a useful way to avoid passwords. I like it for some kind of users.

I wrote a bit about different approaches for Dynamic passwords and passwordless systems if anyone here is interested

2022-10-10T05:41:14Z	(#npkkadq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I think the Warning is misleading then...
So it's not disabled, but not setup correctly and for that reason doesn't send mails?
2022-10-10T14:51:07Z	(#npkkadq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> well, not 100% right but it's a valid assumption.

If you are able to reset your password by email, it's a pretty similar level of security than receiving an access token by email. Anyone with access to your mail could get access to your accounts.
Adding a second factor of authentication could help, or using something with Public/Private cripto would be better, like Client Certs, Fido2 or even hipster things.

And also giving alerts that someone else is connected in your behalf is great (like is done for some banks or Google) , but that's a UX compromise between convenience and security.
2022-10-10T14:57:07Z	(#npkkadq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> Nice!

I didn't know about https://indieauth.net which seems to be based on OAuth 2.0 (that I have used before), I'll take a look!
2022-10-10T15:12:01Z	(#i5sbxnq) @<walves https://twtxt.net/user/walves/twtxt.txt> hey walves!

I assume you have created an account on twtxt.net and you can see this message.

What have you used on Windows? The twtxt client on Python? (it's broken on newest versions of python), if you want your .txt file to be available publicly you could host it in some server or running the twtxt client from some tilde or VPS. 

Or use Twtxt.net (which is a Yarn.social server) to manage following other users, receiving mentions, replying to other twts, and such. It creates and serves the text file for you, from a web and mobile interface. 

Or you can use various clients (from a terminal) to insert net lines (twts) to the file, and also to read other users' files. Newest versions have extended the protocol to allow replies, hashtags and such.

I use both, in English I like twtxt.net/yarn.social since it's easy to talk as a community. In Spanish I use the traditional approach of hosting a file, more like a micro log.
2022-10-10T16:16:26Z	(#npkkadq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I'd like to have a 2FA alternative, at least TOTP (what Google Authenticator uses).
And if you have support for WebAuthn, even better.
Both are self-hostable.

2022-10-11T02:13:14Z	(#zwwsyyq) Yep, so you can recover your password, I think. About the real IP address, no idea who's receiving it.
2022-10-11T15:06:27Z	(#avd45ka) @<movq https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> is it perhaps a Hacker mindset of breaking things?

I was reading on Hacker News the other day about the collide of different personalities in the same space. Those wanting to give maintenance to existing systems (the stereotype of IT guy), the hackers (breaking stuff because why not) and the developers (building thinks to solve problems).

And in an environment of earning money to make a living. Everything together sounds like a recipe for a very 'fun' place to work.
2022-10-11T16:00:42Z	(#avd45ka) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> there is, the issue is making those 3 to work together in a semi-cooperative environment. It's possible with the right incentives
2022-10-11T16:09:56Z	(#kbslgja) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>  Great movie! even if it's 'old' by now is very valid in the term of living for the expected transparency and the public spectacle. it makes you think a lot
2022-10-11T16:29:46Z	(#npkkadq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> sure! I'm working on a proof of concept (in PHP) if you want to take a look on how it works
2022-10-11T16:30:45Z	(#npkkadq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt>  that said, WebAuthn/FIDO 2/PassKeys are not that easy to implement but I think they have many improvements for the Authentication problem
2022-10-11T16:35:07Z	(#npkkadq) You can take a look at the library I'm using, here:
https://eapl.mx/webauthn/_test/client.html

And the implementation there:
https://eapl.mx/twtxt/login.html

What's missing in the examples is having an identity tied to your Auth device (Hardware token or OS service like Microsoft Hello, Apple Keychain, Android Fingerprint). The explanation is long, but the abstraction is there. Your identity and private certificates are held for you by some 'magic' device.
2022-10-11T17:52:35Z	(#npkkadq) @<xuu https://txt.sour.is/user/xuu/twtxt.txt> Well, it took me like 4 hours to set up, implement and test the PHP library, with all the setup combinations, devices and such.
 ![](https://twtxt.net/media/vHDDNhT4YdPQafPFb43SaM.png) 

So I'll say that using a password with a simple function like https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.password-verify.php
is much easier than a whole library requiring communication between the server, the browser and the auth device... There is a security reason for that (mainly to avoid phishing, which is something I like compared to other solutions like SQRL)

2022-10-12T21:58:52Z	(#ffh253a) @<akoizumi https://social.kyoko-project.wer.ee/user/akoizumi/twtxt.txt> Well, at least Firefox, or I don't what else, but Chrome is extremely invasive for my taste. (I switched to Microsoft Edge, buuuut it's almost the same. I'm trying to use more LibreWolf and Firefox in the meantime.
2022-10-12T22:43:40Z	(#ffh253a) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> yep, I get it. At least Edge is like Safari, being integrated into the OS. I'll need to research more about that spyware you mention (I have all Windows 10 settings to avoid telemetry, and perhaps spy-wares, but I only believe is not sending that info).

Disclaimer: I have a distinction between opt-in semi-anonymous telemetry and spyware, but I get the point.
2022-10-12T22:44:47Z	(#ffh253a) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> About LibreWolf I like it, but the default behaviour breaks my normal usage, so I need to find a good compromise for it. And the updates are manual AKAIF, so I forget sometimes to update, and that's another security thing.
2022-10-12T22:46:43Z	(#ffh253a) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> And about your video, yeah, I dislike Google, Microsoft and Apple asking/obligating you to use their cloud services as a 'convenient' way to use their OS.
2022-10-13T03:21:54Z	After hacking a bit of PHP (and gemini-php), finally my self-hosted capsule is available here:

2022-10-13T12:37:46Z	(#kzl6yiq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> well, as they say

```
Is heavier than gopher
Is lighter than the web
Will not replace either
```

I think it has many different things to enounce, some ideological, some practical. Some that I like and some others I don't share that much.
Some people will like the limitations, some others the encryption by default, and I guess some more will like the nostalgic factor of the Web of the 90s.

As a hacker, I like that is a 'modernized Gopher' with some inspiration taken from the Web, and it's something you can actually program with a few libraries in your favourite language, so it's a toy protocol which someone else is actually going to use. Trying to develop something on HTTP 2 or 3 nowadays seems impossible.

Having connections encrypted by default and using login by client certificates is appealing to my crypto side, although really optional (in fact there is an alternative without encryption that I can't recall the name by now)
2022-10-13T12:43:14Z	(#kzl6yiq) What I love about all that is Gemtext, in my opinion, a streamlined Markdown.
[Full spec](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi)
[Quick reference](https://smol.pub/gemtext)

I use it for my blog, renders well enough to HTML, it's extremely easy to remember, and it's easy to parse. Again, minimalism in the markup language, in the protocol, and finally in the communication. 

And I knew of twtxt on Gemini (it's used there as a simplified feed format), so I'm here thanks to that hipster protocol 😁
2022-10-13T12:54:08Z	(#6mcmzla) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>  hehe, I'd like to visit there soon 😃

Over here ISPs are average compared to Germany, to say something. I'm using a local supplier by wireless antennas (since cable connections were not available when I arrived). It has been good enough, and at least they answer the support chat in seconds.

2022-10-17T16:11:08Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> hmm, you can pay for ad-less pages and services. If you are browsing for free, I'd expect to see some ads.

Previously we payed for magazines and still received ads. Now we have 'free' services exchanging our data and attention for content. We can read more on how we reached there in "Information doesn't want to be free" 

So, my shortcut has been, pay for the services, use adblockers for everything else.
2022-10-17T16:13:53Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> connecting my previous twts together, if behind Chrome there is Google, willing to make an Operating System for the Web and Mobiles, they'll have incentives to do it so, pushing a lot of money/investment to the massive users. (And an investment has an expected return on investment) 

What could we do against those huge corporations? That's the interesting and hard question
2022-10-17T16:34:16Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> well, I remember Reader's Digest throwing whole catalogues to my Grandpa along with the magazines he had already paid for.
They had his address and credit card info with promotions like "only send this message and you'll receive the next book".
And for Flashing videos, we could go to Public TV broadcasting.

But I get your point, and I add. "If the 'product' is free, you are the product". And those companies are trying to productize you. Manifest V3 is a clear example of the Status quo, disguised as "for your convenience".

The real point is not being part of that "Society of complaining" but being key to actually change what bothers us.
2022-10-17T16:39:45Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> Talking about government is a rabbit hole. What I don't like is talking about it like the magic silver bullet that will solve all the problems and become a religion and ideology... 

And it's not only a matter of experimental post-capitalism but more about pragmatical solutions. We have about 30-60 years more here. What are we gonna do in those years? As individuals, as families, as communities, as nations, as a whole planet?
2022-10-17T16:55:34Z	(#zukeuga) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> yep, that's part of the game of power. Why would you like to join that corrupt environment if wouldn't it be to take advantage of the system?

And the Politicians are a public image for 4 or 6 years, who's behind them? Who's paying the politicians to do the dirty work?

So, this is the way humans have lived for many, many years. There are going to be rebels like you and me, trying to 'fix' things (pushing to our aspirations), but there is always going to be that fight, IMO

It's not an easy conversation, I have to say. Even writing this is controversial. The easiest path would be saying "Yeah, it sucks bro", and not doing anything.
2022-10-17T18:06:30Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I know, tell us about the post-capitalist alternative that our generation could experience. How is it?
2022-10-17T18:08:02Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> nop, that's not what I meant. And I don't like unproductive ways to think or to talk, so that is something you assumed.
(Also I don't want to be obsessed with productivity, but that's another discussion)
2022-10-17T19:40:31Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I don't disagree, in fact, families are my favourite community right now (perhaps I'm lucky for that).

That said, it has been difficult to work with my family. When you involve money into a family problems appear.

There is even this meme  ![](https://twtxt.net/media/HvEEtMqPrtUJofqCGvTX36.png)
2022-10-17T19:45:55Z	(#zukeuga) So, it's not a matter of Capitalism, but of greediness and money. (And just to check, capitalism is not about money, money is not the evilness here, but how we work for it)

So, Money + Families is a difficult combination. Check this research on psychology applied to money and free stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictably_Irrational#Being_Paid_vs._A_Friendly_Favor

Yes, we could try living in communes, having co-ops, and other experimental post-capitalist alternatives. I don't know what could happen.
2022-10-17T19:47:22Z	(#zukeuga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> On gifts, I guess our mind has a problem with the Free concept, (as in freedom, as in culture, as in something you can steal).

2022-10-18T18:04:57Z	(#wch4l3a) I reminded I'm signing the APK with my personal keys. Do you want to share the key with me to avoid errors while updating? Otherwise, I could commit it with the default debug key (which is giving another warning on some Android devices)

2022-10-19T13:43:06Z	(#wbjwkzq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I'll be starting to teach an introductory course on Python for a university, as part of that 'teach lawyers to code' so I'll take your words into consideration.

I've given that course before, so I kind of know when a student really wants to or it's only a requirement.
2022-10-19T13:50:32Z	(#wbjwkzq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> about being Turing complete, do you think that's still something useful?

I mean, we could define Brainfuck as Turing complete, and we have strong discussions on the subject https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/315924

IMO newcomers don't want the most optimized and engineered way to code, but what's easier to start with. If a Spreadsheet allows me to calculate something, that's a programming language for them!

Im trying to be empathic with the learning curve. I don't like the verb code as a synonym of programming, but I need an English word for: "Being able to make a computer do what I want", code is the interface for that
2022-10-19T13:55:08Z	I'm trying to learn French for 3rd or 4th time in my life, and it's seems more seriously now (I have a class with a native teacher 1 hr/week, 30 minutes of practice energy day on apps)

It's not completely immersive, I know. I've been doing that since March, and as @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> said recently, it takes many hours to have some level of confidence in that knowledge!
2022-10-19T13:57:47Z	(#pl2t3wa) I remember a friend from the work, who studied German for 3 years, and when we were there he was unable to talk with a girl. Weird... And me, with my 2 months learning, only could say a few words to random people.

It's happening similar with ```vim``` I'm practicing 30 minutes a day, and I hope in a few months I'll be able to barely edit a file with the confidence of VS Code/Sublime
2022-10-19T13:59:52Z	(#pl2t3wa) as a friend told me: What makes sense tomorrow is not making sense while you are learning it. But you won't know it until you master it.

Weird feeling, but as a professor and as a permanent student, I think that's how it is. What do you think?
2022-10-19T14:06:24Z	(#wbjwkzq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> 
As I was discussing on the evil microblogging, with a friend fan of ASM, real programming doesn't exist, you make your own microprocessors and write the machine code in binary with electric signals... Hehe, just joking

I said to my friend, pick your abstractions, that will become real for you (and I remind Matrix, when Morpheus asks Neo "what's real?" )
2022-10-19T14:08:47Z	(#wbjwkzq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> thanks dude! I don't know what to expect, but it's my alma mater and the 'best school in town' so I hope everything will go smoothly

Another option? Matrix? Keybase? Encrypting the key with my public key? Access to a private git repo with my public key?

What I can add, something controversial, is that those huge companies like power and controlling who can access to the info is a source of power.

Something that disappoints me is that they use open standards for a while (XMPP for FB Messenger, RSS, email) and when it's not convenient anymore they stop those APIs.
I understand they need to make money for their investors, but... I don't know what to say than, we could decide not to be the product.
2022-10-20T01:07:54Z	(#tnbwxta) but that's difficult in countries like mine where you can get data plans with free access to the mainstream social media, Meta, TT, and such, obviously subsidized by ads and payed to the carriers.

I don't want to only comply, but I can't find an easy way to fix that. Any ideas ?

2022-10-20T16:29:09Z	(#xuaevqq) I switched from Sublime to VS Code in 2018 (?), due to some errors on Sublime 3.
It's a bittersweet feeling. Sublime 'invented' that UX and Atom/VS Code took that innovation, offering a free alternative. The Show all commands bar (Ctrl-Shift-P) is just amazing, easy to use and useful.

Moral feelings away, I have good productivity with VS Code, I don't have to install many plugins, and it's quick to start from 0. In a pragmatic way VS Code just works.

I'm also learning vim and nvim and it has been a complex learning curve, but I think it's going to help me as vim is installed almost everywhere. Perhaps helix is going to become an opinionated alternative for VS Code users soon, no idea.

As they say, a quick way to get a good product is "Standing on the shoulders of giants", and sometimes using those ideas/stealing is part of that standing.

2022-10-22T02:10:36Z	(#xskfpea) I've seen that if you open the app when you are not connected to the Internet for some reason (for instance I use the aeroplane mode a lot) it forgets the login info.

Other than that, the session usually lasts a lot (I haven't tested it but I could say that lasts more than a week)
2022-10-22T03:22:48Z	(#xskfpea) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Yep, it's something tricky about coding mobile apps. What I've done is having backup URLs like https://1.1.1.1 or those that Google and Android use to redirect to Public Access points (I can't recall the URLs now, I'll what to look for them) to check if the device has connection.

About Goryon, I think the app wouldn't have to delete/forget the API token until it actually knows the token is invalid 🤔

The term "Scuttlebutt" comes from the original water-cooler gossip, and has nautical roots. Unlike most data protocols, Scuttlebutt does not work on the assumption of constant connectivity and centralized services: Data is stored locally, and synchronized between contacts (or friends, to use the social network terminology). Data is also encrypted, hence Scuttlebutt is also referred to as SSB, or Secure Scuttlebutt.

2022-10-26T13:39:36Z	(#x4n32ha) @<brasshopper https://twtxt.net/user/brasshopper/twtxt.txt> well, not so good... 

I paused my Pod in tw.eapl.mx, since I already have this account to write in English, and now I'm using my current VPS to host a twtxt.txt file in Spanish rather than a whole Vultr that only I was using.
It was more due to budget and time constraints of moderating a (future) community and paying for the server (as I'm cutting costs for stuff I'm not using so much). 

About promoting Yarn in the Latin/Spanish community, I did that a bit in texto-plano but they were more willing to use Mastodon due to the current user base and federation with tilde servers. 

Any ideas 💡?
2022-10-26T13:45:26Z	(#x4n32ha) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> ha, for some reason the web tagged someone else.

If you are interested in the latin/Spanish community that's something always appealing to me. The reality is that I need to save money and actually earning more for family purposes, but I have some time to help in a community.

That said, its cool to be in an international community (if you tolerate my broken English) than a niche one with few people in Spanish with our local ideas. I don't know what to think, it's a matter of available time and resources to spend IMO.
2022-10-26T13:50:48Z	Yesterday I wanted to 'say' something but I don't know how _convenient_ it is... I'll do it anyway

2. What do you mean by "show some way to get to the yarn"? I think there is a button, below the twt for a conversation, or do I misunderstand something? 🤔

2022-10-29T05:57:28Z	(#rwoptaa) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> hmmm, perhaps the twtxt URL could be a UUID, like an unlisted link and you share that link with people you want to share access.

I do that a lot with Google Docs to share access to non critical documents.
Obviously if someone makes the URL public, anyone can see or edit the content.

2022-10-29T13:13:08Z	(#lt34ixq) @<carsten https://yarn.zn80.net/user/carsten/twtxt.txt> I like the ideas of Doctorow but I don't completely agree on this one.

In this case is like if you register a perfume.
Could a Pantone Rose Perfume be created? I guess so, b/c it's not only a name (which is a brand), but the recipe to reach to that smell. It's not so fair under the current IP legislation that someone else can use your work and sell the same perfume as theirs. Would it be plagiarism IMO. 

Again, it's polemic, but in this specific case I think people don't understand what's behind licensing a Pantone.

I leave a discussion on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33370265
2022-10-29T13:22:26Z	(#lt34ixq) Aaand that's because Pantone is more about the physical ink to reach that color than the RGB/Hex value and name for it.

Is unfair that Photoshop charges you for something that previously was free? I don't know. 
Before PS had a single payment and now it's a subscription. I think there comes the main rant.

Usually I don't like to rant against the government but this one, aaargh!

70%+ of the Mexicans don't like the DST, Americans neither. So the last few months it has been a thing here. But the timing, Damn!

In fact, if you don't tell me I didn't know! Has finished to be official just yesterday, 2 days before the DST change! And now ICANN has made the change really quickly, I'm gladly surprised. I was betting that they wouldn't have time to react. 

That said I think it's gonna be like with Chile 🇨🇱 a few months ago. They had a similar rushed change and all the systems where broken and patches had to me deployed for the calendars.

</r>

Well. That said, I'm in Chihuahua, so my timezone will sync the center of the country which is good, and we are reverting changes from my childhood, haha.
2022-10-29T13:44:34Z	(#lt34ixq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> yeah, subscriptions are insane. I understand why do companies need them.

But the way it's worded "We charge you periodically for your convenience" is irritating.
2022-10-29T13:45:45Z	(#sjv7a5a) And we won't have DST anymore, yeah! 🎉🥳🎈
2022-10-29T13:52:27Z	(#sjv7a5a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> and yeah, the current administration (leftist populist) is proposing half-baked laws for everything. So... What can I say?

My state is in the border but my city don't. So it's gonna be a mess if I have to work with friends close to the border. There isn't even a Mexican Timezone for them, so I'll have to pick one from USA.

Basically this current map is gonna change completely... With 2 days notice

Here it helped that USA was looking for that change. Perhaps if other nearby countries in your side look for it, would be easier.

Here, as the law proposal said, were 15 years of people being against the DST, and a populist government made a rushed fix now.

🙃
2022-10-29T13:58:21Z	(#lt34ixq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> this 👆
2022-10-29T14:00:25Z	(#dd3wnxq) I was thinking about it the other day.
Twtxt spec requires the Z (Zulu) Timezone. But what about posting the local time, and the server/client makes the conversions.

That's even better if you travel around and your local Timezone changes often.
2022-10-29T14:03:10Z	(#sjv7a5a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> 👆 this is Spanish BTW 😆🤣
2022-10-29T14:05:34Z	(#dd3wnxq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> 😮
2022-10-29T14:06:54Z	(#dd3wnxq) Then you can show the Timezone based on the last Twt. Is not as specific as having a ICANN Timezone, but I think is precise and dynamic enough.
2022-10-29T14:09:43Z	(#ykkayea) Hehe, I've just checked. I mean saving that value IN the twtxt.txt file in each twt (I don't know it that break things, I guess so) 

I've used the Yarn local Timezone setting and works great! 👌It's accurate with my (current) time zone
2022-10-29T14:12:59Z	(#sjv7a5a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> yep 🙂
It's gonna be a funny week over here.
But it's the Weekend, my future me is fixing that on Monday 😉
2022-10-29T14:24:57Z	(#dd3wnxq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> no worries, my point goes on saving the Timezone on the Twtxt file, instead of adding a Metadata (which is going to be outdated if you travel to another Timezone)

 ![](https://twtxt.net/media/72JJ8LXbXoyKC7VzAZKYGX.png)
2022-10-29T14:27:02Z	(#dd3wnxq) That way, the CLI tool or Yarn could take the current Timezone convert it to your local time and say "this user has this Timezone, is X hours behind you, it's 4am for them"
2022-10-29T14:29:23Z	(#dd3wnxq) I'm reading in a twtxt spec that the time offset is allowed and I remember somewhere else asks to use the Z timezone (UTC). I'm confused now.

2022-10-29T18:28:57Z	(#7usypfq) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> I could suggest unfollowing people, using a plugin to disable suggestions (for polemic and engaging topics), and hiding ads, and Trending topics...

I use Twitter as a tool since I find appealing conversations with friends and I expose my products as a creator. That said, yes, it's a 'toxic' platform by design and it's easy to use it for it's intended purpose, get engaged in useless conversations (IMO).

2022-10-30T23:10:58Z	(#scxyieq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> is it about hiding the twt violating the rules? (since in some cases you can't modify the twtxt.txt)
2022-10-31T00:58:16Z	(#5ne755a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> this sounds to me like the current moderation scheme for Mastodon. I guess it's good enough for now. 

Indeed I'd like to know the philosophical difference between Mastodon and Yarn, since I think these are main competitors in a similar but not exactly equal space.

With those ideas and values, defining a 'fair' moderation scheme is easier IMO.
2022-10-31T02:07:50Z	(#5ne755a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Right, I forgot of that page

I'll remark the following:
> Keep it as simple as possible
> Do not compromise on data security and user privacy
> Software should be lightweight
> Self hosted software is preferable over cloud services or SaaS
> Ship early, Ship often

I'd stay with **Keep it as simple as possible**, but not more than that. And Lightweight. 

I have worked on apps rejected by App Store due to lack of moderating features. I'm aware it's tricky. I think the decentralized part could be managed like with Feed readers.
2022-10-31T03:18:45Z	(#5ne755a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Yeah, sorry, I was throwing random ideas on your previous conversation.

I found https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy (made with Rust) but I don't like the current community of instances. Simply they don't talk about my interests.

And that makes me think a lot on the community you have to create to have a minimum network effect to sustain it. Too small and dies in the oblivion, too big and dies of toxicity.

Rust was too much for me at this stage, but it's the _hot language_ right now, so I always have the doubt if it's something sensible to learn next year.

I was betting on Nim but doesn't have all the benefits you mentioned before. I think, and a trust you, that Go could be that Python replacement.
2022-11-01T03:11:35Z	(#kp4v2wa) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> I agree! I like C# a lot, but I'd go with Script languages (Python, JS, PHP) for quick prototypes. Even working JSON with recent versions of C# takes a lot of Dev time.

The search capabilities are great. It's faster that Notion (which I disliked very soon), more convenient than taking notes with a code editor, since it manages the folder structure and links between files.

I'm talking about soft limits (based on Twitter obviously) recommended by the [spec](https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html#format-specification) and that a few CLI follow

> A status should consist of up to 140 characters, longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged. twtxt will warn the user if a newly composed status update exceeds this limit, and it will also shorten incoming status updates by default.

2022-11-03T23:14:07Z	My Mac Mini 2014 can't install XCode since it requires macOS 12 which I need to install first 🫤

At least the Mac is still usable, kind of slow due to the HDD, but fast enough after the Full Factory reset.

I got to say that in the last few years I've used Atom almost exclusively. I remind parsing XML RSS feeds by hand 15 or 20 years ago, so I could say it's a really old format by Internet standards.

That said I switched from read only feeds to microblogging or chats. Reading offline is nice but I don't do it enough nowadays.

2022-11-06T00:04:05Z	My thesis was on digital/electronic voting (about 10 years ago)

There is an interesting problem there: How could you replace the paper ballots with a digital device? You'll find a few benefits like a fast counting and transmitting the data without moving the ballot box to a central place.

The disadvantage is assuring the secrecy and freedom when you are voting. It's easy with an inert paper, extremely difficult with an electronic device. How could you be sure the vote is correct if it's secert?

I found an interesting proposal (I have to read it deeply) on how to fix this problem that has been 'looking for a solution' for decades:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/e2e-primer.pdf
2022-11-06T00:08:14Z	(#pd4brpq) To make it more interesting, the vote has to be anonymous and untraceable. Yes, we know who went to the election, but we shouldn't have a way to know your decision.

And you must be sure that every vote was counted correctly. Interesting design problem.
2022-11-06T00:41:42Z	(#pd4brpq) @<marado https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt> That's true!

My grandpa was a citizen invited to help with the voting in the neighborhood (I don't know the title in english, but something like ballot box Secretary), and I took the training with him. It was nice, both could understand it quickly.

The current process is an hybrid between ancient processes that anyone can understand and modern tech. And it works for the process of auditing, with technology on top to have results in a few hours.
But it's damn expensive 🤔
2022-11-06T00:50:24Z	(#pd4brpq)  as we can see in the last question here:
https://vote.heliosvoting.org/faq

digital/remote voting is not ready for massive elections. Regardless my country, and many countries are thinking on using it due to the expected cost reductions.

it's gonna be an interesting case to study after.

I tried to run the project in Xcode from the last commit but it gave me errors, I guess I need to install the whole Flutter environment.

I like that the 'protocol' goes beyond federalization and it's mostly decentralized, with some inherent disadvantages like discoverability, so you can federate it, have pods, instances, directories and such. I'm missing some interoperation like on ActivityPub but not having it is a kind of feature.

For me is like a self hosted blog with RSS.

🙂
2022-11-08T19:02:14Z	(#upimdhq) @<carsten https://yarn.zn80.net/user/carsten/twtxt.txt> That's part of the plan. Sadly the monthly payment for that house is 2-3x the cost of the rent. The interest rate is about 10.5% yearly (I guess it's not huge, IDK how it is in your countries)

Here by law, the debt must take up to 20 years (WTF!) to be paid, so shouldn't be longer than an average lifetime. But if you are unable to pay at that time, they don't give you the credit, so you feel like you have no options.

Well, enough ranting. That's how it is, so we'll keep looking for options 😄
2022-11-08T19:08:19Z	(#upimdhq) @<carsten https://yarn.zn80.net/user/carsten/twtxt.txt> 450k-720k USD? Sounds to me like a big number!
A decent house here is about 50k-100k. With 500k you can get a small mansion in important cities.

Also, the average wage in my country is about 500-1,000 USD/month, so I guess it's a matter of numbers. Thanks for sharing, it gives me perspective.

In terms of a11y, I have never done that, I guess instead of `<a>` it could be styled checkboxes due to the on-off nature.

It has its own problems, but my main use case is discovering related images. For instance, memes and funny pictures for my wife, visual ideas for work, or even random comics and photos just for the sake of it. It autodetects language, so it'll mostly suggest content in languages you already know, and it has few ads.
Also allows you to store your own content public or privately, so I use it to save or pin my own content instead of putting it on a shared Drive Presentation, or a random chat.
I don't use it that much to save websites, but I see a lot of people doing that.

Finally, I don't know if a Self-hosted Pinterest is useful for me. To manage my own content I'd look for a Google Photos replacement, and I'll miss the discoverability from other authors.

I'm aware that those cheap devices FM have awful quality and low range.
I'm thinking of something like: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/05B-Transmisor-estaci%C3%B3n-0-138-supermercado/dp/B0B251XK2R/

But I'm seeing bad reviews, on a lot of static and bad audio quality. And again, now Bluetooth has much better quality than FM can give, so it's more for nostalgic purposes, like LoFi music, artificially adding noise.

For DVDs, damn, we'll need to make backups, especially for content hard to find again Who would think?

And it's the same with my blog `https://text.eapl.mx` and `gemini://text.eapl.mx`

2022-11-15T16:54:31Z	(#ci6uyba) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> the answer is too long for a twt, but basically the collective power is tied to the source of power. That means the investors and owners. In a cooperative model the union has shares, votes and power, in traditional models there is the collective power of the group but not deeply connected to the source. 

I don't say it's not important, please do that (like in my industry of videogames full of problems) but know deeply how power works. Simple solutions to complicated problems is populism.

I think the gamified contribution graph from Github could be something interesting (to see how often you exercise and how intense it was)

Currently, I have this graph of burned calories each day and a sum, over a timeline, but I think it does communicate anything interesting:
![A simple graph of the amount of burned calories across time](https://twtxt.net/media/khfbWfioGd6wvQTqBgFLbf.png) 

Any ideas?

2022-11-19T22:03:31Z	(#dsnu5rq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> currently the bot gamifies the amount of calories to burn every week, if you do enough you climb to the next level (harder) otherwise you go down to a simpler league (greatly inspired by Duolingo)

But it's only at a weekly level, I'd like to have something like "you made it greatly this year"
2022-11-19T22:13:03Z	(#dsnu5rq) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> well, it's extremely simple, it asks  how many calories you burned and the timestamp is recorded automatically. That's all

I get the calories from the elyptic and from some apps with routines, so perhaps the value is not very accurate but it allows to compare if you are exercising more than before.

2022-11-19T22:27:23Z	(#g75bo5a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I've been thinking, and discussing in class as well, how much an information tool can improve the lifestyle of a population? Basically, what problems are we solving with technology? 

It's about transmitting bytes in form of words, images and basically multimedia. I had the same thought for my hobby and profession of creating games. How much a game improves someone's life?

But anyway, we, as a society, need the entertainment the social media and technology in general, offers.

2022-11-21T22:26:57Z	(#vh5pwrq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I see the opposite here, copying and pasting lazily instead of creating reusable code.

I mean, having a dependency to know if a number is odd or even is excessive https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd-or-even

But at the same time if your language or runtime gives you these quick snippets is usually better that your own code, due to those "things you didn't know you don't know". That's why I have mixed feelings on copying and paste vs using a dependency vs reimplementing it yourself.

Today, here, SMS are practically dead, only used for 2FA and marketing (both use cases wrong IMO)

Even when they are free, no one uses them, I think due to the lack of images and attachments in general.

I vaguely recall a project of Internet of Things sending control commands by SMS but I think they moved to AM radio frequency being cheaper and more reliable. Interesting question of how SMS are used nowadays...
2022-11-23T19:23:06Z	(#zffutwq) @<marado https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt> I don't agree completely with the concept of wearing out (like audio CDs vs LP or audio cassettes) degrading quality over time.

But in terms of accessibility, I fully agree. Now I can't play either CDs or LPs since I don't have a player. I'm using digital media like YouTube/Spotify for my old music. But I also have SD with music from 20 years ago... 

Basically, I like both media.
2022-11-23T19:27:46Z	(#zffutwq) and on books, I like digital books on my Kindle, mainly for novels and readings without images. Physical books for art references, books that I love, and content with many pictures. And finally PDFs for everything else, mainly disposable content.
2022-11-23T19:33:02Z	(#we6if3q) @<slashdot https://feeds.twtxt.net/slashdot/twtxt.txt> hmmm... After programmed obsolescence, limiting the lifespan of the products you buy, now with Subscription paywalls you get limits during the lifetime of your product.

So basically you are buying a restricted product, and most people can't do anything due to a lack of options at reasonable prices... What can be done?

2022-11-23T23:09:45Z	(#zffutwq) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> I don't disagree... It's like the difference on owning a house vs renting, and basically renting anything where you can get kicked out almost in any moment. it depends on the contract you are signing.

That said, you can own DRM-free content, being hosted in a marketplace, or saved on your devices.

DRM is a long topic for a twt, but as a creator I don't want my content to be pirated that much, at least not being extremely easy to pirate making the people prefer one click for a free download vs paying, let's say, 2 dollars.

I don't know about the marketplaces you mentioned, only GOG and Humble Bundle for games, and some others for games. I'll take a look, that's for sharing!
2022-11-23T23:16:58Z	(#we6if3q) @<marado https://twtxt.net/user/marado/twtxt.txt> yeah, obviously monetary interests shape the products availability and regulations are useful for control those interests. (Although my anarchist friends are not that happy of fighting companies with state power, but that's another convo)

Recently I watched this video on Apple not replacing Lightning with USB-C, being the main  reason licencing fees. And that only changes until EU requires it by law.

I worked for a few industries putting walls on the ecosystem, by design, and I think lack of competence makes it even harder. Mainly for B2C.
2022-11-24T01:19:10Z	(#zffutwq) @<marado https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt> Well, I can't agree on that one. It's a 'maybe' since is hard to measure, but IMO we can't say Zero evidence. There are some numbers showing that artificial scarcity has some impact on sales, and obviously, DRM devs want to sell their services, although they are biased. (I'm playing devil's advocate here, making both positions to collide to reach a useful compromise)

My position is that DRM helps to prevent piracy among mainstream users, which would decide on renting Apple Music or Spotify vs using hipster alternatives. We as power users will find the best ratio between convenience and control.

2022-11-29T22:17:35Z	(#sjv7a5a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Thanks for the catch-up. I live in that state, so I experienced firsthand the change.

Basically, our state had an ICANN region (Mexican Mountain Time/MT), but the government said "Forget that and follow Mexican Central Time".
But as the state on the border, Texas, USA, stays with American MT, that made some trouble between companies and offices.
That has happened before, the municipalities/regions had different start and end for DST for 1 or 2 weeks, but now they have 1 hr offset all the year.
![Municipalities affected in this State](https://twtxt.net/media/vVHWa2ubCV3wsLtC8zAaB9.png) 

tl;dr ICANN timezone `America/Chihuahua` is not gonna be used anymore. Some municipalities are going to switch to `America/Mexico_City` and some others to `US/Mountain`. In the future, when USA removes DST, those states are going to follow. Regions on the border will follow American regulations. #<sovereigntyFTW https://twtxt.net/search?tag=sovereigntyFTW>

I'm with @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> on allowing to use some devices (not a toy) only with the supervision of a responsible parent, usually an adult. It's like being alone outside the home, crossing the street, talking with strangers, and such. Has to be taught at home, but (citation needed) it's not often done.

On the programming side, this problem is not that challenging (yet). Ask availability to your friends, and make some statistics with it, sum, sets. I think this will be done quickly.

On the product design and user interface sides, it has been challenging.
It's different if you ask to decide between Tue 9pm, Wed 9pm or Thu 9pm. vs. deciding two days, vs a whole week (24 x 7 = 168 possible options)

We have discussed getting inspiration from Doodle and Framadate but I find that is difficult to make it accessible, and for a week's view those are also confusing.
![](https://twtxt.net/media/NBhuP54LFRSD8GdUN5pqT.png)

Currently, I'm focusing on the use case of deciding on a Weekly call on Fridays and Saturdays in the mornings or afternoons (about 48 different options), but I'm trying to find a better strategy. Perhaps divide and conquer (Fri mornings, Fri afternoons, Sat mornings, Sat afternoons)

What do you think?

I think giving an e-device is worse than allowing a teenager to create a profile on social media. Finally they are having social profiles at school and in real life, not changing neurons and the brain itself. The interesting part is that teenagers reach to be 'public' figures earlier. But again, you have to cross some boundaries like sexual content or bullying, to be really dangerous. Other than that is similar exposure that teenagers have at school, and without some platform regulating content...
Yes, there are suicides, but not for every person, while every toddler is changing their brain and losing skills. (I need to find references here, for sure) 
Is not black and white, both have risks. That's why I say, it's similar. Both require attention from parents, but taking e-devices away is less convenient as they take care of children.

Care to try tomorrow? My Saturday night, Sunday morning in Europe 🌅 and an unknown time in AU 😛
I know it's difficult on Sundays, but Saturday afternoons are my best moment 😅
2022-12-03T02:10:09Z	(#gzuilta) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Saturday @ 1200 UTC or Sunday@1200?

It's 6am for me. 🤔
Usually I wake up at 7 on Saturdays b/c I start classes at 10am. Hmm, if I'm out of bed early I'll join! 
Could you share the link again? I should bookmark it!
2022-12-03T17:42:12Z	After sleeping like a bear 🐻 I'm feeling much better today. Thanks all for your messages.

This morning I had a routine blood test of like 6 tubes 💉🩸🤨 You know, on empty stomach and such...

Let's see how it works... 

Does Dopamine Detoxing Actually Work? - Andrew Huberman
https://youtu.be/w8pg-4c0j3s
2022-12-11T16:03:38Z	I've finished all my college classes for this year, yeah 🥳 🎉
2022-12-11T16:09:15Z	(#s5xb57q) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> having worked with NFTs for a 'crypto startup' and currently preparing a course on Legal aspects for videogames, that's an appealing topic to discuss.

Disclaimer: I'm open to controversial technologies, sure, taking the collateral damage into consideration. Personal, to my family, to the community and to the humanity.
2022-12-11T16:14:04Z	(#s5xb57q) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> yeah, that's something stupid from the first generation of NFTs. Having a certificate that you possess an URL.
It's slightly different than having possession of a file's hash.

And as with everything, that's as useful as the value we give to stuff. Why is a canvas with some paint valuable for us? Because we agree on it, or a group of rich people do. Or just because.

Talking about value, owners, innovators, disruptors, influences, power, value and such its always an interesting thing in this slice of life.

I wrote a bit about that here:
https://text.eapl.mx/quick-ideas-about-isms-and-ownership
2022-12-11T16:20:38Z	(#s5xb57q) NFTs + art + money + technology is extremely difficult mix since we are putting together many definitions of art and science. Those not involving money, with another about speculation and opportunism.

Sadly when money is involved, (often) you see the worst parts of humans. But also a huge drive to push things forward, so that's a weird paradox of progress and innovation.
2022-12-11T16:25:57Z	(#s5xb57q) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> yeah, IP is extremely difficult due to its intangible nature.

Yeah, it's designed to protect monopolies in a similar fashion on "the land is from the nature, why should someone could possess the land, and what is on top of it"

No, it's not made to promote creation, but to restrict. It's a restrictive regulation, but somehow needed and not so updated for 2022 needs. Yeah, things like 'Information wants to be free' is a colliding reality, between previous generations of owners, new creators and a public willing to find the path of least resistance.
2022-12-11T16:32:37Z	(#s5xb57q) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> that definition could be outdated, you'll have to read the licence to know what rights are you geting when you pay for something in a traditional platform or on a 'crypto contract'

For instance you could copy a book on epub format, but you _shouldn't_. And you could just pirate it since is just a bunch of bytes, but maybe you want to _legally_ buy it without DRM. 

Sometimes you get rights to sell your current copy, sometimes you own 'Related rights', etc. Sadly it's not a simple regulation but things like Creative Commons is a good starting point to know more about Copyright (US/UK) and author's rights (Europe, Latam)

2022-12-13T20:52:32Z	(#7iworcq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I think saying "There is no such thing as an echo chamber" is an example of the image. Are you open to a different opinion? And obviously, to different evidence?
2022-12-13T21:10:07Z	(#7iworcq) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> I've found that many disagreements start with definitions.

That's all...
#<todaysRant https://twtxt.net/search?tag=todaysRant>
2022-12-14T00:19:24Z	(#7iworcq) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> Yeah. I find that definition too broad and ambiguous (Is it _only_ the same opinions? There are _no_ opposing views, at all?). And I think that leaving a subjective metric, on when it is and is not, won't help.

How about?
> An echo chamber refers to situations in which beliefs are amplified or reinforced by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulated from rebuttal. By participating in an echo chamber, people are able to seek out information that supports their existing views diminishing opposing views, potentially resulting in an unintended exercise of confirmation bias. 

> An echo chamber is an epistemic construct in which voices are actively excluded and discredited. It does not suffer from a lack of connectivity; rather it depends on the manipulation of trust by methodically denying all outside sources.

And we would need to go deeper on understanding what an epistemic construct is, but I think that's too long for a twt.
2022-12-14T00:23:20Z	(#7iworcq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> Why?
2022-12-14T00:32:50Z	(#7iworcq) Disclaimer to my friends, and not-so-friends: I posted a comic about a controversial topic. The conversation could go on a 'memeistic' side, or extremely deep, philosophical, intellectual, and rational. Usually, I like both approaches.
I don't want to win any argument. I'm not in the mood to show "You are wrong" (something I do at work, why should I do that here?), although I'm almost always open to learning something new.

If instead of being humorous, is striking a sensitive chord, well, it wasn't targeted for you. And that's OK. If you want to hear different opinions, nice! You want to keep your beliefs, even better. What to have a clash of scientific evidence? Well, we can do that another day.

2022-12-15T15:53:41Z	(#okoq7yq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> hmmm... I learned C for microcontrollers (I loved it coming from assembler) something like 20 years ago.
But currently, I don't feel incentivized to do something interesting for PCs, and for microcontrollers they went to MicroPython and some others. I agree with @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> says that is too low-level.

What I can suggest is reading _Head First C_, which has been to me a good starting point for new languages. I think they could take a look to pass the exam
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/head-first-c/9781449335649/

I know a lot of tech engineers don't want to create stuff by programming, but more to give maintenance to current systems, and that's OK

Although I tell my students "at least try to pass this requisite", it's gonna help to understand how programmers think.

2022-12-16T16:11:22Z	I'm having a few discussions with my Latin artist friends on Stable diffusion, automation disappearing jobs, inner fears, and such.

Rather than wasting time on social media, my idea is to learn, to get to a knowledge level of a 'better life' (whatever that is), or at least exercise a dialogue and perhaps a debate. Since everyone is discussing different reasons and motivations, this is a phrase I like to remind before the talk gets violent.

> Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. They're either speaking or preparing to speak. They're filtering everything through their own paradigms, reading their autobiography into other people's lives.

It's exciting to spend time discussing with strangers and with friends, which has happened for ages, even before the **Internet** TM. With due moderation is a good hobby, but that's the tricky part. Not getting engaged with an ideology showing our own weaknesses disguised as knowledge and beliefs.
2022-12-16T16:12:10Z	(#l63rkuq) tl;dr Enjoy the discussion, be kind, be empathic, and choose your battles wisely 😁!

I remember being a curious 6 years old kid in the 90s, learning QBasic with the tutorial included with Ms-Dos 6.22 (didn't know English yet, so there were limited docs and books) precisely with that classic number guessing game. Later in elementary school they teached us GW-Basic and Logo. 

Sadly I had no relatives interested in computing at that time. But they were supportive on that strange hobby. So I always remember that moment with pleasure.

2022-12-20T01:11:20Z	(#c6yyvda) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> well, I think that's something coming along with fame from Yarn and freedom from them. Some people like to stay with simpler things even if they are obsolete, incompatible, and such. They has an option to not follow an improvement and to stay with the version 1.0 of the spec, and that's OK in my book.

I agree to disagree, even if I really like the extensions, let's say 1.1, not being able to communicate with people following forks or modern protocols. Their loss.
2022-12-20T01:14:13Z	(#c6yyvda) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> 😆

No one using Yarn extensions, it seems
2022-12-20T01:20:23Z	(#c6yyvda) and very often it comes from people rather that tech or specs.

Could be something like
"I don't like ~prologic and/or I don't like yarn.social, I won't use that because I like things by my way"
It's stupid, I've felt that, and now I try to ignore it a bit, it's bad for our health to listen every feedback, IMO 🤷‍♂️
2022-12-20T15:19:44Z	(#w6f7o7a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> yeah, valid and worthy points. I personally agree on most.

Yarn.social at this moment is 3 things.
1. The convenience of the software, a web site, their front-end, the 'invisible backend', an incomplete mobile app. If I'd manage the twtxt file with any other software, for me at this moment I couldn't have conversations with you. 
2. The interoperability with older txtwt files. For instance I can read here my twtxt.txt hand made raw file to see if it works. Almost no one replies there but I know it works.
3. The community, the stupid discussions, the learning, the meaningful experiences, Gitea. People behind a simple text file and micobrogging protocol.

So yeah, as projects grow they start to be attached to _a brand_, they create organizations, institutions, knowledge bases, rituals, and intangible things we don't feel attached to. There are a few anarchist people (as in skeptical of authority and seeking to abolish institutions) not wanting to follow rules, groups and such.
2022-12-20T15:26:28Z	(#c6yyvda) @<marado https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt> well, I find that's a problem of leaving that open. Using should vs must. Leaves that to different interpretations.

I was grateful at that moment b/c I was personally engaged with someone I disagreed on their vision of the world and way to say things. 

Perhaps you are being emotional to some random person (I don't know if it's a friend of yours) saying Yarn is a monopoly. Maybe is uninformed. Perhaps they doesn't want to change. It could be their way to cope with their boring life. IDK.

Yeah, it's frustrating when you do something with love, tender, spare time and it's rejected or receives bad adjectives. I've been there with games.

I could only say, take it from who it comes from.

In something more boring, I'm estimating dev times, and I needed to explain Standard deviations of time estimates, ha!
2022-12-21T12:26:16Z	(#okoq7yq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> as an university professor, I've found that classrooms are the worst place to learn to code, program or dev.

There is not enough time to personalize teaching, from the current knowledge every student has, up to the semester goals (usually standardized). People is stressed on learning a lot in a few months, throwing up everything into the exam, so usually that isn't meaningful and internalized learning which programing requires in the long term. 

What has worked for me was to record short videos with step by step explanations, so the students can watch and rewind at their pace, and then we have office hours to explain anything the student didn't get.

Something like:
1. Watch how I do it
2. Try to repeat that
3. Try to do something different alone
4. You are by yourself now!
2022-12-21T12:31:09Z	(#okoq7yq) I've also found that, at least here, Computer Science or (Management of) Information Tecnologies are not related to creating or architecturing software, but on understanding and maintaining current ones.

Which is not that bad, you cannot create something if you don't know previous solutions or implementations... 🤔
Again, there is simply not enough time in 3-5 years of intense education to learn to 'program'
2022-12-21T15:44:33Z	(#4fkqpga) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> sounds like a really interesting research! By any chance is that paper publicly available?

Not wanting to criticize anything on your paper or your numbers, and based on a book I'm reading, Factfulness, I'd like to know an average and also the standard deviation or a distribution graph on _time to learn to program from scratch_. Usually the average hides the diversity on the sample.
2022-12-21T15:51:16Z	(#4fkqpga) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> hehe, yeah!

There are a lot of books on the subject such as https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4983932-10-000-hours

Now I think 10,000 is saying something like "more time that you'd expect of intended practice, multiplied by talent"

An interesting discussion I heard in a podcast, was that the expertise level grows _"logarithmically"_ (I think that's the right word). Learning from 0 to, let's say, 50% takes a year. 50-75% another year, and so. The last 95-99% takes decades of intense and purposeful practice.

2022-12-27T13:53:42Z	(#okoq7yq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> yeah, the compromise between the  essentials, or the foundation to build knowledge on top of it, is tricky.

And I also agree on teaching to do something realistic.
Currently I'm designing a course from scratch for C# and I'm constantly saying "don't validate this yet", don't preoptimize this now... We've known for years all that real software needs, but at the same time we have to 'lower' the implementation to the current level.
2022-12-27T13:57:51Z	(#okoq7yq) It reminds me when I was learning piano. Yeah, I wanted to play the classics or the modern tunes, bu instead as my fingers where pathetic I had to practice with boring and monotone scores to build dexterity for my hands.

I think that's something similar with programming, language learning and such. And again, college gives no time for that.
More anecdotal evidence: I was 3 months in German at college, at the 1st semester, really stressful due to the scholarship. I learned nothing.

Coming from Spanish which has only 5 vowels and almost every time a syllable is read the same, learning German or French with many different pronunciations for the same letters, or as you say different meanings depending on their context has been mindblowing 🤯
2022-12-28T00:44:22Z	(#vgxivjq) Checking my notes, I find that there are as well a few strange traits in Spanish that foreigners could find counterintuitive, like having silent letters, sounds depending on the following vowel, and so...

2022-12-28T16:09:37Z	(#i4ccvaq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> hey guys, I'm randomly joining the convo before breakfast.

The first thing I thought of was an invite system like lobste.rs... You cannot join randomly, but someone trusting you must invite you first.

I guess we discussed a few months ago the importance of moderation systems (people and tech), and having a 'clear' line of allowed content under the idea of _“in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.”_

So it's not easy, it requires a lot of resources and intent. What do you say?

Talking about Web sites, 20 years ago I used Web counters, then Google Analytics, FB Pixel, and many other indie stats systems. I think I had the Apache stats, then WordPress and such, but I wasn't excited by stats dashboards TBH.
Now I think visits are vanity metrics, even for commercial sites, so I rely more on interactions, emails received, replies, and such.

On https://text.eapl.mx I have nothing. No comments section, and no analytics whatsoever. I received a message every 1-2 months, and I think I had a few replies on Gemini (it's difficult to track, and I forgot to add the link in the article)

In my 'personal' podcast I have no stats, it's a handmade Atom file.
For the remaining podcasts hosted on YouTube and Anchor, I have from 20 plays/views up to 9k for some specific topics (mostly design ones disguised as rants). And I think 120 subscribers.

>I’m not a fan of it myself but having at least a minimal insight should be helpful, what do you think?

It's been tricky for me. If I write for myself, I don't need that content to be public, but if I share it, I expect something from the audience. A discussion or a conversation is neat. A thank you is also welcome.
I've found that having numbers makes me leave projects since only a few people are watching them. I don't know... I switched from carrying about how many people are watching to "at least someone cares'.

I received this year a few comments and IM chats saying '**thanks**' for the free content. That's always _a breath of fresh air_ for the creator. I think that depends on your expectations.
2022-12-29T17:39:46Z	(#7s6qzlq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I thought you weren't using Gemini nor Spartan, and I felt you didn't like the idea of these toy protocols.

I'd say the goals defined here https://gemini.circumlunar.space are well achieved with that spec. 

Sadly the TLS part is difficult to achieve on some retro devices and I suppose that's one of the reasons for Spartan.

2023-01-02T16:01:25Z	(#trmql3q) Since the popularization of browsers with tabs in 1999, that has been a problem for intelectual people, I think. 

I'm trying to live a digital minimalism (whatever that means, I've had long conversations about the definition), and having at most 5 tabs open has been challenging to me, but I try. 
I'm looking forward to a soft limit of, let's say, 7-10 tabs. If you get your screen full, you should receive a warning... More than 15-25 would be simply not allowed. It's against the interest of browsers designers (use it more), but I think there should be some extension for it. 

Now I have those endless text files with hundreds of links, more like a black hole than a Reading list.  I say also, the habit of cleaning your lists is as good as making it bigger. 

Other useful habits are, trying to write more than reading, avoid looking for new links until you read or delete previous ones, and not subscribing to a new mailing list until I unsuscribe another. It has been a similar pain than to buy new clothes.
2023-01-02T16:06:22Z	(#icr3cwq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> that's the answer. Now I try to close as many as I open, ha...

I think I moved to the extreme of "compulsive cleaning", but, hey, it works...
2023-01-02T16:52:18Z	(#trmql3q) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> that's a great idea. A friend of mine made an extension that killed random tabs, but I don't recall the exact details.
I think killing the older tabs could be good enough, or randomly between tabs older than X days. Perhaps with the last 10 tabs, you would notice. IDK

What browser do you use? (Over here, Edge, Firefox, and Kiwi)
2023-01-03T11:56:56Z	For some reason I couldn't sleep tonight (I think that strong coffee ☕ at dinner was a bad idea)

Anyway, it was a nice opportunity to settle my ideas for this year. After a few days of vacations, I could define more easily what to aim for, what to work for. My references are the Maslow's hierarchy of needs and [Hierarchy of Hapiness](https://www.sloww.co/happiness-ebook/) as insights on things I might be overlooking. Like social relationships, relationship with money, belongings, impact with creativity, altruism, a learning path and so on.
My main realization (perhaps obvious but what can I say...) is that statistically I have about 30 years more of productive life. There is no rush, but at the same time I need those challenges to live a tasty present.

I'm grateful that this has been a pretty decent life, which is transforming into something new (damn mid-30s crisis). As they say, the best things are yet to come. Or at least, new challenges to overcome. And that's the tasty part of life.
2023-01-03T17:29:02Z	(#nxocirq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> in a personal case, in 2022 I explored client certificates, (I can't recall who suggested that, it was you?). 

I think it's amazing for corporates and perhaps power users. Anyway, I think it's too obscure for a normal employee who doesn't understand what's going on. 

For something closer to the current Web experience I think Webauthn/Passkeys will be slightly simpler to use and to implement, due to the support of main OS and integrated security hardware in PCs and Phones. Or you can use a USB device which is closer to a "car key" being the physical aspect easier to understand than an abstract encryption technology IMO. 

But as they say, why not both?

2023-01-07T00:19:54Z	👀 Another book to read this year 

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25980423-the-internet-is-my-religion
2023-01-07T20:12:22Z	(#u46vmva) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> it's really, really tricky.
If we dépend on a machine to automate a life saving procedure we may say it's fine, but automating a suicide prevention line is controversial when it _may_ actually help.

In medicine and science there is a lot of research, dark incentives and placebos in the name of progress... So, I don't know what to think. I've been reading that book _Bad blood_, and basically is, until a huge fraud happens, the law gets updated to prevent another case, and it's a never ending story...
2023-01-07T20:16:56Z	(#u46vmva) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> it's not gonna end... It's worth for some people, was predicted for the last few years and it's only going to be used more and more.
Like phones, GPS and navigation, flags memories, quantum computers, telecommunications...
It's even going to become the new "Gods" (citation needed).

I guess that's going to transform completely the way we think. So what's going to happen with people not likening it is, you know, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
2023-01-07T20:17:40Z	(#4ntjhaq) @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> congrats! I haven't filled a drive in years 👀
2023-01-07T20:52:32Z	(#u46vmva) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> perhaps I sound realistic... And yeah, realistically pessimistic. I'd like to know viable alternatives, not ideal but practical. 

How are we going to stop it?
Like when social networks spread in humanity and we received warnings of its danger. We are using microblogging to talk about it, as we are going to use AI/ML more and more, but so slowly we are not going to perceive their inclusion in society. It's in our keyboard auto correct, our browsers, personal assistants, search engines... So, what can be done?
2023-01-07T21:02:06Z	(#u46vmva) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I agree with that part, lying is wrong, although people like to live some lies, but that's another conversation. 

I don't agree that automating a help line is completely wrong per se... We'll need to define lines on, at this right moment of humanity, what's "right, true, and such" 

Something I don't agree with is polarization of "everything about this subject is wrong" "everything is amazing". 

It's good to be opinionated, I respect different ideas (right or wrong). I prefer to say "Perhaps I'm wrong. Tell me more..."
2023-01-07T21:06:05Z	Reading that book about the Telegraph made me thing A LOT on the history of technology. Another book about history of power made me think on our short lifetime of, let's say 50 productive years, how much we can impact in society from what we currently are, to the future of society in 100 years.

Action and thinking... Progress, quality of life, a better world for our families, resources. Transcendence. These are things that have moved a lot of people for the last centuries.

I think the current life speed is faster than it should, but I guess that depends on our reference point.
2023-01-08T02:25:25Z	I was listening to a conversation about "fake it until you make it", based on the Theranos case. It's in Spanish, so it wouldn't be useful to be shared here, but the topic made think. 

The idea topic is, don't lie. It's unsustainable. Avoid distorsion fields and "validation circles" when you trust what someone else trusted. Yeah, we have to manage the truth, and we have to know when someone is lying to us (pretty hard in some circles). It's not as easy as "never lie", so many due diligence on our beliefs is needed, even with risk of discovering the truth.
2023-01-08T02:27:37Z	But I think I'm too deep into controversial topics.
I guess I'll switch to more mundane topics for a while.

I watched Willow, a fun movie from the 80s. And finished recording a class about DRM and Piracy... Interesting Saturday here. How is going yours?

IMO it's OK to be opinionated, to respect differences. One example is with Operating Systems. Do you want to use Mac, Win, Ubuntu? That's OK. You say that ecosystem is better? Nice, enjoy it! 

My curiosity goes on understanding the good, the bad and the ugly parts of the tech we use, and, why not? Having a great conversation with a beer or our favorite drink when it's more convenient to both. Calling is caring 🙂

2023-01-09T20:12:14Z	Today it has been difficult to focus on designing the course/book for Unity, C# and Poker.

There are many moving parts that I have to settle as learning objectives, that I'm a bit overwhelmed. I simplified the game a lot, yet not enough it seems. That's when I recall phrases like "The hard things about hard things" 

Also, Unity is too visual to be taught by a book. At the same time I want to write a book about a topic I like 🤔
A reference is "Head first C#", which I used to learn C# in 2008, so I think it's feasible to a certain extent.

2023-01-11T00:29:00Z	(#34ty2iq) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> Mind to share a few vanilla apps you are using ?

On the topic, I have mixed feelings. With Apps/Software/Services that are continuously improving, it could be acceptable IMO. My main issue is when you keep paying for a "finished product". It's more complicated if it has ads, it's freemium, uses servers, and so on.
On the production side, well, they do it because they can (although we don't like that they can, it seems). Development costs are continuously increasing, so it's an endless rush to spend more to compete, subsidize costs somehow, then earn more, rinse and repeat.
I've seen successes of 5-10% on indie developers, but I'd like to know the numbers for huge companies. I'd expect to have big pressure from investors to sustain growth and fail way less.
2023-01-11T02:14:17Z	(#p4k5jsa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> agreed. Those reasons sounds reasonable to me, although I think there are many, many kinds of software that not all fit on every case. How could we compare current software to that made under different conditions? 
That said, I name an interesting case. Videogames and movies. The price is almost the same, 40-60 USD for a AAA game, or 10 USD for a Hollywood ticket. And I think it hasn't raised due to inflation, but budgets are increasing, technical features and quality is debatable improving. Gone with the wind" is in the top 1 taking inflation into consideration, but it's an outlier. 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_films_adjusted_for_inflation

That's why I like thinks live the Big Mac index (and many others), to understand the current difficulty to make a product under the current purchasing power.

I use Google Drive and Docs instead of MS Office, but obviously I'd like to have something good enough w/o Google.

It's going so fast that we can't remember how to live w/o those technologies, anymore. 
As a tech designer is exciting. As a world citizen... Well, a bit overwhelming, but with hope that all that tech won't make us consumerists.

2023-01-13T23:03:18Z	(#crpf3oa) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> well, something I like from it is the mix between Forums + SMS + Blogs + Comments. I don't like that much Vanity metrics nor Notifications, but those makes microblogging "more useful".

And at the same time the mix of all those features is its weakness. It's easy to oversimplify an idea. But as we like to fight on ideas, well, it's a side effect en engagement. 

Yeah, it has changed the society, the way we express ourselves, and how we socialize around ideas. For me, it makes me shape my communication, being nearby my friends and colleagues, and a few followers in my discipline. Hasn't work for the academy and research, tho.

Yes, I had a few months to prepare for it, but you know... The end of the year suddenly came.

After finally finding some time to code, I could fix many things that needed to be redesigned. And a lot of refactoring is needed. Perhaps a few Unit testing would be helpful, since simulating records in the past is always tricky.

2023-01-16T16:41:09Z	(#ny75ulq) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> First day of the week are Sundays, so the first 'calendar' week started on January 1st, 2023. That's problematic for using ISO weeks, but it works for this project. Start of the week is at Sunday-Monday midnight which is about Sun 6pm here. You register your exercise from Sun to Sun. 

For this project on Python I used that `isocalendar` module from `datetime` lib.

The bad implementation was on using something like
```

which was not valid when the year changed, worked for all 2022 except the last week, ha! This year the weekly summary just stopped working. 

And also I had to check when that happens. Some years have 52 weeks and others 53.
2023-01-16T16:45:11Z	(#ny75ulq) BTW for my personal Weekly planning I use the ISO date instead of 16january2022, b/c is easier to me to calculate time between week 14 and 22 than between random dates.
Also for work we switched to "months" of 4 weeks. I learned that working with Germans and works well!

2023-01-16T18:46:23Z	(#xxa3lma) Mmm, lo leí muy rápidamente, mi error. Deja ver si lo entendí:
gemini://sl1200.dystopic.world/art/notes_from_the_address_bar.gmi

La contraseña sirve para crear un secreto en base32, en vez de bits random.
El TOTP servirá como un Token con validez de 60 segundos, que va en la URL.

Entiendo entonces que en vez de un 2FA, es un factor único aquí. Mientras coincida con el secreto te permite publicar anotaciones.

Me gustó, pues hice algo parecido para mi archivo twtxt https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt con este servicio Web https://eapl.mx/twtxt/
Había empezado con TOTP, luego con par Público/Privado, aunque al final lo dejé en WebAuthn, con sus ventajas e inconvenientes. Muy rápido puedo iniciar sesión en la laptop o el teléfono y empezar a publicar :)
2023-01-16T18:53:06Z	(#xxa3lma) @<sl1200 https://twt.nfld.uk/user/sl1200/twtxt.txt> Bueno, creo que tendría que escribir un poco sobre twtxt en el blog.

twxt.txt es el formato para hacer microblogging en un archivo de texto en un servidor. Parecido a `finger` aunque con timestamps. Aquí el último spec que conozco: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/registry.html#format-specification

La idea era tener un microblogging minimalista, descentralizado y orientado a Hackers.
Yo lo conocí, pues se usa en Gemini para hacer listados de post, y Antenna lo usa aunque no hay mucho contenido.
2023-01-16T18:57:18Z	(#xxa3lma) Como twtxt.txt tiene algunas limitaciones para hacer un microblogging más parecido al de Twitter, se hicieron algunas extensiones, y servicios Web para hacer más sencillo el hosting, responder y en general usarlo.
Por ejemplo: https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twthashextension.html

Twtxt.net es una instancia de la plataforma Yarn.social, que supongo que inició como twt.social
[YouTube - Twt.social a new way to social media. No ads, no tracking, 100% decentralised.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxk6DwIvGVw)
La idea es facilitar el hosting de los archivos .txt, y ofrecer una interfaz Web para usarlo.
@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> puede contarnos mejor la historia de Yarn. Pasado, presente y futuro.

Aquí viene un breve resumen de la idea detrás de twtxt y Yarn:

2023-01-18T01:37:59Z	hey @<justamoment https://twtxt.net/user/justamoment/twtxt.txt> ! Is vector-pass open sourced or open to collaboration somehow?

I'd like to use it and perhaps replace BitWarden but I'd prefer to have passphrases rather than passwords like `ijf7wY6B8ykd7Jid7` since phrases are easier to type

![Screenshot of Pass phrase generation in BitWarden](https://twtxt.net/media/iGTmwkZAzzG6WxbJUNudyh.png)

Embedded OTPs and everything depending on a strong secret is a blast, BTW 😀

2023-01-18T16:08:43Z	(#2xjdywq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> yeah, that would be great for a more secure digital life. Perhaps not easier at the start but easier with time. 
Last year I wrote a bit on the subject, trying to put all interests together and aiming for a transition into a passwordless standard... We could start with our services tho

2023-01-18T16:10:47Z	(#feqgkqa) I could replicate on iOS 10, only when the _Create a new post_ text field is shown.

On Android 13 it doesn't scroll horizontally.
2023-01-18T16:15:06Z	(#2xjdywq) wow, I'm reading it again and it has a lot of spelling errors. Rather than that, I still have those ideas, if anyone here wants to discuss the topic.
2023-01-18T16:19:25Z	(#2xjdywq) ah, I recall that after writing that text  I implemented a proof of concept for passwordless login on Webauthn/[passkeys.io](https://passkeys.io) which has worked well for me, I haven't tested with more users so I don't know how well it'll be received.
I guess most mainstream browsers will follow that path.
2023-01-18T16:51:57Z	(#feqgkqa) @<darch https://neotxt.dk/user/darch/twtxt.txt> yes, on twtxt.net.

It's too indie and I'd say unknown, but the native plug-ins worked well on mobile and Web browsers. And it's an experience more like you mention.

2023-01-20T11:43:34Z	(#eqcmvja) I've head good things from 1Password among friends. Perhaps not having a free tier makes it harder to be known here.

I'm using BitWarden free for everything except TOTP. I'm not syncing pwds with a team anymore, so I don't need Team featured by now. Having it easyly available from all my devices is a plus. 

That said, I'm always interested of alternatives improving my current "pass flow", thanks everyone for sharing.
2023-01-20T11:51:01Z	(#eqcmvja) Those using console or Git-synced alternatives. How do you check your passwords on mobile devices?

I tried using KeePass for Android, but I found the sync part a bit inconvenient, related to mainstream alternatives which work automatically. 

Also, with `pass` or `gopass` I assume you can share the repo with a team, but can you use multiple repos? so you could share only a few secrets with selected people?... Thx!
2023-01-20T12:54:46Z	(#eqcmvja) @<sl1200 https://twt.nfld.uk/user/sl1200/twtxt.txt> this looks amazing, I'll play with it soon

Or Single Use Passwords, or authentication with Key Pairs. Not having to manage, see and type characters.

2023-01-21T14:38:40Z	(#lnbbpzq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> interesting. I'll take a look. With BitWarden I don't need to do that, and it cleans the clipboard after a few secs, but I understand you use case. I'm looking for alternatives to BitWarden, but as we've discussed, there are many differences to take into consideration. 

On watching passwords in plain text I mean typing passwords on some strange devices like TV sets, public or family computers (risky!), Xbox, Switch. I like that now many offer a "Login with another device" that simplifies that process if you already have a session on a mobile.
2023-01-21T14:55:49Z	(#lnbbpzq) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> yeah, I just found it this week, and looks very complete as a replacement to BitWarden.
I should run an instance soon. Although I'm deciding if I stay with Warden passflow or I jump to another manager. (Vector is looking cool as well) 

Have you used VaultWarden? Any advice?
2023-01-21T16:58:19Z	(#jkjr52a) I don't understand how 32% is too dry, or 17 is too cold. Here it is 0% and 7° in my office 😝

2023-01-22T14:53:36Z	(#ivk4loa) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> hmm... I co-founded a video game studio which for funding and pandemic reasons turned into crypto gaming, since there was "money" in that field. I received a lot of criticism fro colleagues, but some support from friends.
A few friends were making decent money working on crypto games, for huge companies with big investment behind.

But for me... Most of the environment felt like "get rich quick squeme". Even my partner (biz dev) felt really deep into that way of life. I slowly got away, sad by the risk I've taken. Not repentant, just sad of how money makes us think of our promises. 

What can I say? Not every buzzword is bad by itself, but my logic brain is against promising more and delivering less (playing with the truth, in my book). Like with electric cars, social networking connecting the world and exploiting Asian workers to have a decent phone at a subsidized price.
2023-01-22T14:57:27Z	(#ivk4loa) having investors behind, and need for money, make people lie, and live in that reality distortion field.

It happens for us, in our Hobbyst space, we are biased, I get it. But the bias where your ideas are reinforced by your environment, believing that you are right... And on some sort, being payed to believe that. It's difficult to overcome.

I'd recommend to read "48 laws of power". It helped me to understand how those startup environments work, to be prepared against utilitary mindsets.

2023-01-22T15:13:10Z	(#dlbntsa) @<abucci https://anthony.buc.ci/user/abucci/twtxt.txt> I'd disagree. The world is huge. We are 8 billion people, as individuals we can impact 100, perhaps 1,000 people. Even the biggest companies impact billions, but not all humanity. Even countries and global leaders impact a slice of the world. It's a huge problem for us to solve. It's nice tring to break limits. In my youth, for that sake I joined into politics, companies, and non-profits. And it's hard and a bit disappointing that things doesn't improve in the way we'd expect. Requires a lot of energy to fight the status quo. 

And we need to have hope of a better world. We as humans, NEED hope. Thats why religions, organizations, volunteers, exist. 
It's not romantic to say something against hope. It's better to say "Yeah, let's follow this politician/businesspeople/influencer/idealism, they have an answer to the problem", usually is not true. 

But on what I'd agree is that we can impact OUR world. We can avoid using the polluting product, the toxic technology or what the evil company mak
2023-01-22T15:19:34Z	(#dlbntsa) take it from who it comes. I could be wrong and I'm in a stage of my life defining what is the next step to have a decent lifestyle while I'm feeling proud, or at least not-shaming from my passage though this world.

I live in a "second world/developing country" with the former richest man in the world. We have scarcity, and people here needs to believe on a better life. I think it's the same everywhere else but here is not a matter of "having vacation this year" but "having housing and food tomorrow" 
Perhaps that changes POVs, I don't know.
2023-01-22T15:22:17Z	(#dlbntsa) I'm open to ideas, but please be gentle and understand other lives and other realities. As I say to my students, colleagues and friends. Every person has a different reality, a perception of it. Some live on a reality distortion field. A.k.a. Biases, but that's another story. 
Be empathetic. And let's work together for a better world, trying to make something _helpful_ as a group and as individuals.
