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 😉

#biasOfTheDay
2021-12-31T03:42:34Z	Day 2 learning #Rust

I finished a Guessing game, which is very similar to an exercise to learn QBasic in 1993 (?) ha! 

Nice memories by the way...

2021-12-31T05:36:58Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#vgxay4a) have you tried those extensions to auto accept Essential cookies?
I don't, but I'm intrigued 🤔
Those pop-ups are just a malicious compliance IMO
2021-12-31T07:44:20Z	Wow, just wow!

2021-12-31T14:46:46Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#n6hbpjq) I wish everyone here a nice #2022
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
2021-12-31T14:56:11Z	(#ltyuz3a) BTW the code is 614, ha 😆

I agree it's too geeky and perhaps incomplete as a solution.

I don't think you can extract info from an Apple Watch w/o using their APIs so finally Apple is having your data... #<noIdea https://twtxt.net/search?tag=noIdea>

2022-01-08T14:59:16Z	(#nwas2lq) Disclaimer: I like some parts of the Blockchain innovation, the tech possibilities. But then we arive to the knife dilemma. It can save a life or kill a person. 

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.

2022-01-09T04:09:39Z	(#hnerm6a) I would like to know the opposite. Why creating a new one if the existent work well? 

It has been my question for some services like Gemini (I use smol.pub).

I'm in that transition between super centralized (FB, Twitter, Medium), to self hosted, but now I'm kind in the middle due to the convenience and community!
2022-01-09T19:51:00Z	Some ideas for the next few months

2022-01-10T01:48:26Z	(#4jeol3a) ¡Castellano es bueno!

I don't use Medium, as you can see here:
https://text.eapl.mx/writing-in-2021
2022-01-10T14:33:19Z	(#4jeol3a) oh yeah, gotcha. I dislike Medium too. I tend to avoid using it, or linking with tools like 12ft.io.

Anyway the header is enough, I'll switch to Spanish now
2022-01-10T14:36:47Z	(#4jeol3a) [ES] Sobre el texto (que debería escribir un espejo en español, por cierto)

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!

2022-01-11T15:32:43Z	(#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...

2022-01-11T22:18:06Z	(#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.

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. Zines were originally distributed by physical mail, and then by e-mail. Nowadays for the nostalgic feeling of Gemini, you can find a few Zines/Ezines there.

2022-01-17T05:21:25Z	(#lc5t3zq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> We could try! I have calls at crazy hours with a few teams I work with, so I know the pain.

Please propose the time, and I'll try to join!
2022-01-17T05:25:46Z	(#e5p54aq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> For format, do you mean using PDF files or such? I've seen blog posts, mailing lists, PDF files, and I haven't seen EPUB files that much.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrack <- A famous ezine from the 80s

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)

2022-01-18T16:57:44Z	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.

If you like Marketing, look for the book 'The end of publicity as we know it' (2000, I think), it talks about that campaign.

2022-01-19T00:33:23Z	(#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.

2022-01-19T14:43:21Z	(#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>

2022-01-19T20:21:22Z	(#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...

[Gemini - About Antenna](gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/about.gmi)

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

2022-01-21T13:30:08Z	(#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.

2022-01-23T15:37:48Z	Sunday morning over here. 

Started hating the polarized ideas on Twitter (gosh, I was likening and using it again for the value of game dec, and then the wave of hate, ideology and politics arrived).

Then I came back to read a few books, and next I was checking that my Yarn timeline was very active. Looks like a nice morning.

As I've shared before, I'm trying to learn more complicated ways of programming (async, concurrent, functional, to say something) and has been very hard to leave old habits. I'll keep trying!
2022-01-26T18:40:01Z	Hello everyone, I'm back on sharing cool stuff on the shape of twts, after a Monday lasting 3 days.

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...
2022-03-23T18:07:27Z	Suddenly stopped using a few services I enjoyed for whole months. Gemini Antenna, 1 second everyday, twtxt.net, donelist.today

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.

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.

2022-05-12T20:09:11Z	I can't recall if I've shared this here, but has been the topic of the week

How and why are we owners? And what 'isms' do we follow to have the life we expect?

2022-05-14T19:29:12Z	(#obnz45a) @<news https://twtxt.net/user/news/twtxt.txt> hey, great!

Is there any guide to update from 0.13 to 0.14?
I'm using the Vultur Marketplace version https://www.vultr.com/marketplace/apps/yarn
2022-05-15T03:23:09Z	(#obnz45a) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> hey, thanks, it magically worked!
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.
2022-05-17T16:32:47Z	(#dk2ai5a) @<ullarah https://txt.quisquiliae.com/user/ullarah/twtxt.txt> long week, huh?
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?
2022-05-24T13:38:02Z	(#5jmg2aq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> no worries 😁
2022-05-31T15:34:07Z	(#jlyvpfa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Hey, neat! How is a club over there? Like a league in a public place?
2022-06-04T16:57:25Z	(#jlyvpfa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Oops, it seems the web page is down, I wanted to look at it since I love bracket systems, ladders and such.

That said, cool, sounds great being part of a local club :)
2022-06-06T18:57:57Z	(#kvrpbcq) @<novaburst https://twt.nfld.uk/user/novaburst/twtxt.txt> I wish you a prosperous life and a healthy journey ahead.
2022-06-06T19:06:12Z	I'm gamifying my weekly exercise (since I'm lazy), with a League system inspired by Duolingo's.

2022-06-06T21:36:12Z	Aaaand, I'm learning to replace the kitchen faucet, since it's leaking, and looks like it can't be fixed...

Let see!

2022-06-11T02:20:36Z	What Web browser are you using currently?

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.
2022-06-13T23:04:18Z	(#s65yzqq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I don't use the news function in Yarn.social (or at least I don't follow many news sources), but that's a cool feature!
2022-06-14T03:30:00Z	(#s65yzqq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Everything sounds great until you receive

2022-06-14T15:12:15Z	(#eijedvq) @<tkanos https://twtxt.net/user/tkanos/twtxt.txt> Well, I still have an iPhone 6 I bought in 2015 perhaps. It's not receiving the newest iOS, so I cannot use all the apps, but those still working 

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)
I guess it's something similar on cars, homes, travels and such 🤔

2022-06-22T17:33:06Z	(#u3xknjq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> sure, I can help! (We have a distance of 15 hours by plane, but we speak kinda the same lang)
2022-06-22T17:37:37Z	(#u3xknjq) @<andreottica https://twtxt.net/user/andreottica/twtxt.txt> Hola! Twtxt es un formato base para microblogging hacker. (Lo puedes hacer hospedando en texto plano en un servidor)

@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> creó varias extensiones (https://dev.twtxt.net) para que funcione más similar a una red social.

Yarn.social es un servicio Web para ofrecer una experiencia tipo Twitter/microblogging, que crea el archivo Twtxt por ti, y permite leer de otros lugares que no usan Yarn.
2022-06-22T18:06:06Z	(#ajee2za) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> they are asking if the twtxt.tx file is stored as a text file, and where is it hosted?
2022-06-22T19:14:00Z	(#tbfqlua) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>  it's working well on Android 12 (Pixel 5a)
if I find anything weird I'll send to a msg

- Sent from Goryon
2022-06-25T19:18:41Z	(#lmc55za) I don't know why there is an interest from Spanish speakers. Having the front page in English could help?

Also, for me as a geeky developer, twtxt and twtxt are clear. (Yarn extensions were confusing at the start tho)
Maybe an adaptation for Twitter or Mastodon users would be helpful?

I often recommend reading this one: https://medium.com/civic-tech-thoughts-from-joshdata/so-you-want-to-reform-democracy-7f3b1ef10597

As saying how to fix something is easy, actually doing it has been difficult, in fact, I'm not doing it anymore.
