I haven't followed what has been going on in twtland for a while. Can you please share links to jenny and tt? 2021-11-09T20:02:52Z Goryon - the twtxt mobile app - is making me think about hosting a yarn pod - just so I can use it while keeping my (real, self-hosted) twtxt "account". I wonder if there's an easy way to host a lightweight, single-user version of the endpoint… or if there's documentation about how to write one. 2021-11-10T10:38:16Z @ (#hfal6kq) So, there is an API! This is offtopic for the thread (sorry) but can you link me to its documentation? I'm thinking about creating a single-user barebones "pod", compatible with the mobile app but that manages a single twtxt file. 2021-11-10T20:02:01Z @ (#hzrblbq) Great stuff, thanks! That does solve my "publishing" part of the equation, even if it still doesn't work as a client (either web or mobile)… 2021-11-10T20:37:02Z @lyse @ @ @ @ (#hfal6kq) Seems to me that the sync is only useful if it allows a lot more editing (eventually even a complete rewrite). Which I am all for, but then the edit/deletion restriction on the UI becomes sort of an hassle, as someone more tech-savvy will be able to do things that less tech-savvy users will not… 2021-11-11T10:47:29Z @ (#hzrblbq) yes, functionally an yarnd with --single-user is all/exactly what I'm seeking.

Technically I'd then probably still want a port/clone of it into a lighter-weight, easilly hostable alternative (so you can file-drop into any tilde host, or even those FTP-only hostings…), but that's a bridge to cross when I get there… 2021-11-11T22:12:48Z @lyse @ (#te2mlfa) damn, now I'm sad that the way they do it doesn't really follow the twtxt format… 2022-04-15T01:41:52Z @ @ (#tjbslbq) Nice take, but it is wishful thinking… the tech literacy levels (ie, the user base) is quite distinct, people wouldn't flock away from twitter if Musk goes through with this… 2022-04-25T18:53:29Z According to some on twitter (see https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1518662153343057923?t=HAwtAoxkxZ-H6E8Px7qq1w&s=19 as an example), twitter share trading has halted, and the announcement of Musk buying Twitter is imminent.

I'm a little disappointed to not see more people talking about twtxt as an alternative to twitter… 2022-04-25T20:27:53Z (#rynwiqq) Here it is: https://twtxt.net/twt/riddpya 2022-04-25T20:28:50Z (#rynwiqq) or # 2022-04-25T23:41:45Z @ @ (#blztnaq) There's a lot in # to unpack, EDRI is a good resource about it: https://edri.org/our-work/eu-negotiators-approve-good-dsa-but-more-work-is-needed-to-build-a-better-internet/ 2022-04-26T09:44:01Z @ (#blztnaq) DSA is Digital Services Act, the "legislation" /.'s article is all about. 2022-04-26T22:21:48Z [PT] Salvaguardas dos direitos dos cidadãos salvam artigo 17 (ex artigo 13) no Tribunal de Justiça da União Europeia.

Is there any reason why? Even for non-self-hosters, being able to point to a new domain would be good for interoperability, right? 2022-05-07T09:22:51Z (#opev6mq) I'm uncertain I'm looking at the right place, but from how I read it, absolute URLs not only aren't mandated, they aren't even a possibility. I'll open a PR soon(TM) 2022-05-07T09:33:50Z @ here's another question (sorry!), is something wrong going on with the feeds service? https://feeds.twtxt.net/twitter-mind_booster/twtxt.txt does not seem to be updated since January (but the source is...) 2022-05-07T10:12:07Z @ (#nsmsvfq) 😥 It might be worth doing it via twitter's API... but since I'm not volunteering to implement it, I'll just remain sad :-P 2022-05-07T23:02:26Z @ @ (#nsmsvfq) awesome tip! 2022-05-07T23:06:42Z @ @ (#womrxga) O-o, you are? That would be great, really. I have been pondering about replacing my locally hosted feed by this one by cron'ing a wget or something like that... 2022-05-07T23:11:33Z @ @ (#opev6mq) Imagine I want to stop updating my feed on my domain.com by starting a new feed at coolerdomain.net, but point to the previous one in its previous address, for history purposes.

Or maybe I want to stop using this pod because I think I like yours best, or I host my own now... so I want to *continue* there, pointing to this as my previous one. 2022-05-07T23:26:31Z (#vp2aicq) @ Now I just need to know what does the twtxt community do in lieu of RT... 2022-05-07T23:31:40Z @ (#nsmsvfq) Nitter's RSS solves the issue! I'd probably advocate for replacing the current (not working) Twitter import option with it! Sure, you get dependent on a 3rd party, but it avoids all the "hypocrisy" questions! ;-) 2022-05-07T23:32:45Z @ @ (#womrxga) Awesome, looking forward to use it! 2022-05-07T23:40:27Z @ (#vp2aicq) ReTweet... Two common things I miss here from twitter: RTs and <3's. 2022-05-07T23:48:18Z @ (#opev6mq) Spoofing is always possible, and always a concern (don't we "deal" with it already for the url field?).

For the side-question, the feature is nice but depends on availability, and trust, I'm more interested in adversarial interoperability. What if I'm moving from a pod because I dislike their new policies, or new terms of service, their monetization model, etc.? And what guarantees do we have that every pod (or even yarn implementation) will have the redirect option available to its users? 2022-05-07T23:54:43Z @ (#nsmsvfq) Apparently, nitter "Uses Twitter's unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)", so I suppose you could run your own instance and not depend on a 3rd party, or even just see on nitter's code (it's free software!) thev relevant parts of that 'unofficial API'... 2022-05-08T00:04:20Z @ (#vp2aicq) It's a hint: it nudges my feed's followers "hey read this twtxt in another feed". We can probably find a better way to implement these hints or nudges, but if there's nothing in place, I wonder if we won't end up with a bunch of twtxts just saying "agree" or "+1"... 2022-05-08T01:15:34Z @ (#nsmsvfq) https://github.com/zedeus/nitter 2022-05-08T10:28:41Z @ (#opev6mq) That's the scenario, yes. Importing twtxt feeds seems like a good functionality, but it doesn't totally replace (or exaust) the scenarios in which one could want to have their "prev, static twtxt file" on a different path/subdomain/etc... 2022-05-08T22:59:38Z @ (#2emlw4q) is it just me, or BBS access via telnet oh.mg (port 23) isn't working? 2022-05-09T01:27:55Z @ (#ehjdwbq) Just one more (high profile) case.

Mandating a return to the office, instead of not letting workers decide what works best for them is, at the very least, shortsighted. 2022-05-10T00:06:51Z @ (#opev6mq) That would be a scenario, yes. 2022-05-10T23:09:55Z @ (#opev6mq) I think so, yes. More generically, places were you have no control over the webserver (hosting services via ssh/ftp without htaccess support is another example). 2022-05-10T23:22:47Z @ (#opev6mq) I see reasons for allowing absolute URIs, and see no reason not to.

I suppose I should condense this thread into a write-up proposing the change, explaining why, and proposing client behaviors ("how to deal with a prev pointing to an absolute URI"). But that takes time, and I don't know when will I reserve some to sit down and actually do the proposal :-) 2022-05-11T23:43:04Z @ @ (#blbqsda) Correct: CUDA remains closed source, so these new open source kernel modules remain useless if you want to use only free software. The good part of it is that it will "serve as a reference to help improve the Nouveau driver." 2022-05-13T00:42:43Z @ (#ntx54eq) "stable"coin. 2022-05-13T21:02:27Z @ @ (#me6v34q) I suppose people can write in whatever format (html included), and it is up to the clients to decide how to interpret it... Goryon shows it as text! 2022-05-15T00:26:05Z I've just realized Diablo has made 25 years (a quarter of a century!) in January. I didn't see any... special release, events or a flurry of articles about it, and that surprises me: Diablo introduced and popularized battle.net in a way that created a new (and different) generation of internet users and enthusiasts - way beyond gamers and gaming. 2022-05-15T00:49:24Z (#me6v34q) ![how it looks like on Goryon](https://twtxt.net/media/MQjWPR67cgnL2ELqDuLhj8.png) (and also my first twted image!) 2022-05-15T01:11:47Z @ (#me6v34q) That's what it looks like. 2022-05-15T12:58:31Z @ (#me6v34q) No pressure! 2022-05-15T16:28:01Z [European Parliament votes for Free Software in AI resolution – This position must now be included in the AI regulation](https://fsfe.org/news/2022/news-20220503-01.en.html) 2022-05-17T20:03:52Z (#zo4ivxa) @ it's accurate! 2022-05-22T12:40:44Z @ (#tjxzyuq) Who knew 2022 was able to bring good news too... 2022-05-23T00:38:26Z @ (#by673oq) OMG, I just want to stab my eyes now. When did the /. crowd become so dumb? 2022-05-25T02:34:49Z @ (#a233twa) 15 years? Posts like these are what makes me feel old. 2022-05-27T10:29:54Z Ouch: [npm compromised due to github tokens stolen from 3rd parties](https://github.blog/2022-05-26-npm-security-update-oauth-tokens/) 2022-05-28T18:55:39Z I'm not the only twtxt'er that has an [bashblog](https://tildegit.org/club/bashblog) blog... How cool would it be to be able to integrate twtxt comments in it, in replacement to the current twitter comments implementations? With the way threads work in yarn instances, twtxt could even provide way more than just a replacement to twitter... 2022-05-28T19:13:30Z Estou de regresso à escrita, e à Ficção Científica.

Desta vez, participo com um pequeno conto para o livro "Lamego 2022 - o antes e o depois", uma colectânia de textos nos mais variados formatos e estilos, que olha para a cidade onde nasci - não só como ela é hoje, mas na sua História passada e história futura.

O lançamento deste livro vai ser já no próximo dia 5 de Junho, enquadrado no festival "[Lamego Cidade Poema](https://www.cm-lamego.pt/home/noticias/1909-lamego-cidade-poema-regressa-ao-formato-presencial)". 2022-05-29T23:22:06Z @ (#enmfm3a) I have thought of different approaches, each have strengths and weaknesses. Mostly, I'd like to know what others think :-) In any case, I suppose I'd like to "extend" the hashtag generation API, so each blog post can have its own thread hash tag (like twts do). Then, "listing" the comments could be via querying a registry, and the "leave a comment" link could link to https://preconfigured-yarn.pod/?newtwt=@blogowner%20(#hashtag) or whatever link that would open that pod ready to create that new post if you're logged in. Bonus points if you can configure more than one pod and it displays a dropdown; more bonus if we decide to implement twt:// uris letting twt clients listen to those (including a browser plug-in letting you say 'open twt:// uris on https://my.pod').

Yes, I might be overengineering. 2022-06-06T09:40:42Z [GNUnet 0.17.0 is out.](https://www.gnunet.org/en/news/2022-06-0.17.0.html) 2022-06-08T01:15:15Z @ (#6xpayta) I plan to return to it soon(ish), have some ideas I want to use libgnunetchat on: I sort of wrote "about it" in 2006, but the text probably didn't agree too well ([here](https://mindboosternoori.blogspot.com/2006/09/gnunet-chat-next-generation-talker.html)). In any case, I'm quite excited with how Messenger (with a [flatpack](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnunet.Messenger) and everything!) is progressing... I'm certainly planning to become a user of that, at the very least. 2022-06-08T01:16:49Z @ (#6xpayta) s/agree/aged/ ... 2022-06-11T01:34:18Z @ (#d6bjb4a) Full context [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-plans-market-investigation-into-mobile-browsers-and-cloud-gaming). Just another step in the long and slow process of documenting the obvious... I wonder how much more damage will we have to take until conclusions - and corrective actions - exist. 2022-06-24T00:42:09Z @ @ (#ajba5dq) Still not showing on Google/Android 2022-07-18T02:16:20Z @ (#5gy4pya) The whole idea that FRAND is good enough for standard essential patents, instead of the patent-free nature of open standards, is an invitation to this sort of mess. When we accept something as vague as FRAND, /of course/ there is going to be dispute. No matter who wins, the common citizen always loses. 2022-08-04T16:13:16Z @ @ (#c2eqblq) great joke, I hate how good it is :-( 2022-09-21T01:08:16Z @ (#coyqx5a) interesting. I don't really know anything about accessibility needs, but what does the screen zoom on Mac OS do that others, [Ubuntu's](https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/a11y-mag.html.en) for instance, does not? 2022-10-04T00:41:48Z # 2022-10-04T00:43:59Z ![#Hacktoberfest](https://twtxt.net/media/GKUPo7AKMMLnA24Wn4ejmn.png) 2022-10-05T01:40:57Z @ (#ixg4xta) tbh, as a maintainer participation only makes sense if your projects are already hosted either in github or gitlab - or if you are starting a new project. In any case, there is still plenty of time to participate! 2022-10-22T13:15:16Z @ (#5mantaq) there's a new version: https://www.instructables.com/ArduinoPhone-20-an-Open-Source-Mobile-Phone-Based-/ 2022-10-29T00:08:21Z @ (#pm6usia) Too bad the article doesn't remind us that the original target date (when we still didn't know how bad things really are) was [2030](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-autos-denmark-idUSKBN1WJ1YW)... But sure, let's pretend the EU is doing something brave, just a couple of days after being warned they're far from planning to do enough (#)... 2022-10-29T00:27:56Z @ (#pm6usia) yes, both point to the same "no credible pathway **in place**", which is to say that... finally approving a watered-down measure is not something we should applaud, as, in order to still manage 1.5C, we need more, stronger measures. 2022-10-30T15:26:28Z Hi @, question regarding responsible use of twtxt.net's services. How much is "too intensive" an use of its endpoints? For eg, an "every minute" fetch of a twt feed is considered OK? (I honestly have no idea about the default frequency of communication between pods and all that...) 2022-10-30T15:47:48Z For those that might be a little bit lost regarding my twtxt presence:
* I host my own twtxt feed [here](https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt) so I can remain independent of 3rd party providers, and "owner of my own feed". However;
* Currently my feed is being generated and managed at [twtxt.net](https://twtxt.net/user/marado), which allows me, amongst other things, to use [goryon](https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/app), a nice mobile app, to manage my feed (even if twtxt.net's web interface works pretty well on mobile);
* On a geeky sidenote, I haven't still set aside the idea of running my own single-user yarn pod instead of relying on twtxt.net, but I didn't want to postpone this movement any longer, now that there's a new twitter exodus;
* For historic purposes, you can still find my old twtxts on the old feed, now rotated into a [new address](https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt-2021.txt);
* Finally, there's still a twtxt feed of [my tweets](https://feeds.twtxt.net/marcos-marado-atmind_booster/twtxt.txt). 2022-10-30T15:56:31Z (#e2ddupa) @ I'm listening... what does that provide beyond what I can get with a cron'd wget? 2022-10-30T16:02:07Z @ (#e2ddupa) not a priority for me right now, but that's useful, thanks for the tip! 2022-10-30T19:36:06Z Hey @ , [yarn's deployment documentation](https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/deployment) refers to cloudflare, but it isn't really a requirement, is it? If not, should we enhance this doc to have 'without cloudflare' steps? 2022-10-31T02:53:27Z @ @ (#f45oiqq) we had a conversation about this a few months ago... While the redirect option is nice to have, I still feel it might not be enough, specially since it depends on the support of the poderator. Having the possibility to point a new feed to a specific old one would help (ie, prev allowing full URIs instead of relative paths, and pods letting users define their feeds prev).

Sorry I'm pulling this topic into an already complex thread ;-), specially when I was supposed to write a proposal for this change, and never did (yet?)... 2022-10-31T03:36:57Z @ @ (#f45oiqq) Redirects will work for on feed removals, *if* the poderator is interested in providing them - it depends on its benevolence and good will. In any case, removals must be implemented somehow (at least in pods operating under EU law), so there's no downside in implementing it with a redirect option.

Regarding `# prev`, maybe it is best to recover the old thread (which I think was (#)). 2022-10-31T10:57:55Z From FSFE: [If enforced, EU chat control will limit Free Software](https://fsfe.org/news/2022/news-20221026-02.en.html) 2022-10-31T11:04:57Z @ (#f45oiqq) I suppose [https://search.twtxt.net/search?q=%23opev6mq&t=term&f=conv](this) is the right link... 2022-10-31T11:06:31Z @ (#f45oiqq) good link: https://search.twtxt.net/search?q=%23opev6mq&t=term&f=conv 2022-10-31T11:12:07Z @ (#f45oiqq) well, this is embarrassing, I manage to reach the result on the web interface, but not to find an URL that will point to them... 2022-10-31T11:15:05Z @ (#f45oiqq) assuming the pod is running a recent version of yarn, unmodified.

Thanks!, reading that was useful.

It seems to me that the choice of 'relative' was meant to consider users' use cases (multi-protocol, moving the feeds from one place to another, etc.), without any added convenience to the clients, specifically. Thus, I'd argue that there is nothing against extending the spec to also allow full paths: current users are unnafected, and we'd be catering for new/other use cases.

Yes, I do realize that would mean this would have to go into a new version of the spec, and clients would have to implement it in order to comply with the new version of the spec. 2022-11-01T17:58:15Z @ @ (#f45oiqq) I created [an issue](https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/issues/1057) so we can have this conversation outside of twtxt. 2022-11-02T15:03:10Z Portuguese Prime Minister: In September, he wants a [new airport](https://www.dn.pt/politica/reuniao-entre-antonio-costa-e-luis-montenegro-chegou-ao-fim-15192503.html), in October he wants a [new gas pipeline](), in November he'll go to # to claim Portugal is [in the frontline in the decarbonization process](https://www.publico.pt/2022/11/02/azul/noticia/antonio-costa-vai-defender-transicao-ambiental-inclusiva-cop27-2026150). :shrug: 2022-11-04T00:17:04Z ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8e/Worms2-cover.jpg)

In Portugal the major parties want it for general elections, *despite* what I said above applying to us.

One of them is that I haven't read even once yet about someone who's "leaving Twitter for Facebook" or something like that: officially, Facebook is no longer a "social media alternative" to Twitter users. 2022-11-06T17:59:03Z One of the things that attracts me about the "twtxt social network" is how radically decentralized it is. Not only each user is its own node (maintaining its own text file feed), there's no limits to the protocols used to access each feed. Sure, most of the feeds are probably being served over http or https, but there are feeds being served over gopher, and I bet some of them over ftp/ftps. But it doesn't have to be that way - feeds can be distributed in any modern equivalent to the sneakernet, you can save yours in a usb stick or a floppy disk, hand it over by hand or send it via postal mail; you can distributed them on a mailing list, on the usernet... The limit is your imagination.
This reflection made me realize that there's no reason to wait for secushare, twtxt feeds can already be used, shared, maintained and spread on GNUnet, taking this social media platform to the GNU Internet. 2022-11-06T18:39:47Z Thinking about reviving (#) - the idea of managing bashblog comments with twtxt instead of leading people to Twitter. 2022-11-06T21:39:40Z @ (#xd7fidq) You [said](https://search.twtxt.net/twt/xv3wsla) it would work nicely, but I'd love to hear more about how you (and others) see this being done... 2022-11-07T00:32:20Z @ (#xd7fidq) I was thinking more on something along the lines of the current twitter "integration", but now that I think more about it, I realize that [darch's suggestion](https://neotxt.dk/twt/flsa37q) has more merit than what I initially realized. The blog comments system can be a twtxt feed, each entry a new twt/hash, each user comment referring to that hash. 2022-11-08T01:20:18Z @ (#xd7fidq) tbf, microblogs as comment systems might just be a wrong idea. I was led towards it by the current twitter implementation on bashblog (which I use), but the more I think about it the more I suspect that it just is the wrong tool for the job. 2022-11-10T01:39:36Z «Sabemos que fazemos parte de uma massa crítica global que hoje constitui uma fenda de esperança perante o desastre da sociedade capitalista.

And you, what are your plans for [Day Against DRM](https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm)? 2022-12-17T18:58:09Z @ (#hwp4cqa) is the [guide to a DRM-free living](https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide) useful? 2022-12-18T00:56:35Z Nothing like a deadline to force you to do something... this year I'll be celebrating the Winter Solstice by playing at [Tidal Club's Night Stream](https://sun.tidalcycles.org/) (under the Merankorii moniker).

Now I just need to learn TidalCycles! 😇 2022-12-18T18:19:42Z [Twitter has a new "social platforms" policy](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy)... is it maddening? Hilarious? Ridiculous? All of the above? I laughed, but to be clear, I don't think 'funny' is a good way to describe it. 2022-12-19T16:49:37Z @ (#2u3rigq) Well, the devil is in the details: what did he meant by that? Maybe [nothing good](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604628761395138561?t=0jHvVFbjHerbQuu-nA4dcw&s=19)... 2022-12-20T01:01:11Z @ (#c6yyvda) Well, sort of? I've been using them (copying or adapting and extending from what I saw others do) since before yarn.social was a thing. Yarn doesn't (and shouldn't) have the monopoly of "using twtxt comments how we like". 2022-12-20T01:16:55Z @ @ (#c6yyvda) To be fair, the only thing I can think of that makes Yarn feeds not be "standard twtxt" is the disregard for twt size (which many others also do with their non-yarn clients). But sure, I can see how reading these feeds might be frustrating: too big posts, markdown everywhere, linebreak characters, emojis... But I'll consider it the "freedom of the user" to decide whether or not to follow a feed written in a certain style. The provocative metadata comment? Easy (and better) to just ignore. 2022-12-20T02:17:13Z I n this month's Cloak & Dagger Challenge, I've just become an "[Amateur Investigator](https://www.librarything.com/topic/346530#n8003115)"! 2022-12-21T00:39:14Z @ @ @ (#w6f7o7a) unlike the comment on the twtxt feed, this blog post is really extensive, interesting and provides insightful and useful comments. I'm not sure I can agree to all of it, but I certainly can understand the point of view. Curiously, what appears to have been the tipping point is also something I believe we can and should fix: hashtags. 1/2 2022-12-21T00:42:27Z @ @ @ (#w6f7o7a) So, apparently yarn is transforming hashtags into search urls, ob the feed. This makes things unreadable and seems totally unnecessary. Shouldn't this be a client feature? Why should my feed have a link to a search engine instead of a hashtag? And why can't the client (when it is a visual client like goryon or the web) react to hashtags (all of them) by linking to a search interface? Am I missing something? 2022-12-21T01:59:18Z @ @ @ (#6ek4rvq) As long as it doesn't end forgotten, there's really no rush! It's not like @lucidot is going to revert their decision with this change... 2022-12-21T02:00:20Z @ (#cp67gsq) A. 2022-12-22T00:35:53Z @ (#irc54ja) I'd certainly be an user of that 2way bridge. 2022-12-22T22:24:29Z So, it is done: Iearned #tidalcycles over the weekend, and used it to give a concert yesterday. If you want to see it, [it has been published here](https://youtu.be/NSjgJyNJl4M). 2022-12-22T23:35:43Z @ (#5n7dlra) I'm still very new to it, but certainly interested in diving deeper! 2022-12-22T23:42:47Z @ (#5n7dlra) to be fair, I don't have a particular horse in that race, all seem interesting to me, what pulled me into tidal was the community, really. There is an advantage on using it as I did: I skipped all the instalation/configuration and just used estuary, which is a web interface for tidal (and other things). I didn't even have to launch my own instance, there's a [free/public one](https://estuary.mcmaster.ca/) you can just open your browser at and use: cool to give your first steps with no pressure. 2022-12-24T09:06:41Z @ (#4f4qrja) Seems cool! What in it are you not liking? 2022-12-24T11:34:41Z Leaving home without carrying the book you're reading? No problem*, just grab a copy of it on OpenLibrary!
* sure, "if it is there", which many recent books aren't, but it worked for me just now ;-) 2022-12-25T12:05:27Z @ (#ztuvqya) [Hothouse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hothouse_(novel)), from Brian Aldiss 2022-12-25T18:26:15Z @ (#ztuvqya) To be fair, thischas been a go/don't-go to me for a while. I have wanted to read some Aldiss for a good while, but the first of his books I've read ([Cryptozoic!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Age)), while an entertaining reading, didn't really convince me to the point of making me want to seek more of his books. But now, several years later, I was browsing a book called [501 Must Read Books](https://www.librarything.com/work/1888246/book/231625245) and Hothouse was there... at the spur of the moment I checked on the local library's catalog and the book was there so I decided to grab it, then I've read it's wikipedia page and started second guessing the decision... and now that I've started reading it, I'm quite enjoying it. Who knows if my thoughts will change again before I finish it! 2022-12-26T11:00:33Z @ @ (#hgvenxq) tbf, `format-patch` numbers your patches so that you can apply them with an one liner, no matter if they're 1 or 9999. As for identity leakage, do notice that only author patch info is present - a name (that can be a pseudonym) and an address field that can be empty. Other then that you only have the transport means, but you don't really need to use e-mail if that is your concern, you can for eg. set up an anonymous ftp... you just need to get the formatted patches, git not having its own transport is not a limitation but the freedom to let you get patches in any way you want! ;-) 2022-12-27T02:53:23Z @ (#hgvenxq) You mean like a `git log --pretty=twtxt` that someone can get for every branch of every repo on your new git web interface? 2022-12-27T02:56:40Z [14 years married](http://marado.github.io/friendfeed-backup/entry.html?id=e6459d61). 2022-12-29T01:57:33Z @ @ (#dpn5c7a) Donations and investment offers are different things... 2022-12-31T01:47:28Z @ (#ypwfk6q) 2021 was so bad for me that I made a list of 12 things for 2022 I needed to get my life back on track.

We really need stronger, faster, tougher regulation. 2023-01-28T14:59:09Z @ (#teq2ora) It doesn't just because regulations don't exist, are poorly drafted, and often toothless. But the answer to that is stronger and better regulation, and I don't really see any alternative to it. 2023-01-28T19:02:44Z @ (#4clsuoa) Inbox 6! 2023-01-29T00:16:53Z @ @ (#teq2ora) I totally understand the frustration that comes with not being politically aligned with the two big parties - I feel it from experience, as my personal situation is not dissimilar. But the only thing stopping the smaller parties from growing is... support, votes. And sometimes, even a small party can make great things (proposing good bills that are actually approved by the other parties, for eg.). 2023-01-30T01:54:26Z @ @ (#ahfv4xq) I've went further down - sometimes to seek something I've read and caught my attention at the time, othertimes to reference old threads in new ones.

Back in the day, the digital way to get manga/bd was in the now lost (it is, right?) art of fan novelization: I did read the first Dragonball manga books as texfiles, when I was young (years later they were published in Portugal, and I made the collection with drawings and everything). 2023-02-03T22:01:32Z No meu blog: [O voto eletrónico e a memória selectiva](https://tilde.pt/~marado/blog/o-voto-eletronico-e-a-memoria-selectiva.html) 2023-02-03T22:03:53Z This year I'll not be attending #FOSDEM.

Well, as I said, I see value in such a bridge, but I don't think it replaces yarn.social's AP integration.

Yarn.social's web interface renders it "well", the mobile app does not. Which is the correct behavior? Is this how new lines on image's alts are supposed to be?

Python folks point out (and I agree) that "Assigning liability to every upstream developer would create less security, not more", Eclipse people point out that "Every open source license contains no liability clauses", and argue that "It is the companies which commercialize the technology and make a business from it who need to accept liability and provide warranties to their paying customers, not the open source projects". 2023-04-14T21:02:59Z (#srulaka) @ tás a enviar mixed signals, que é muita bom foi o que eu ouvi na net! 2023-04-15T12:35:23Z (#pud4w2q) @ I think these proposals come from lawmakers that ignore the existence or the importance of the Open Source ecosystem; and indeed this moving forward as is would be tragic for *all* free software development. eg., out of my free time I've contributed a few patches to several twtxt/yarn related projects.

As for the rest, I see twtxt as meant to be a readable format, and I think yarn is not messing with that. Is someone doesn't like yarn's writing style (or anything else on any other feed) they can simply not follow them. I see no reason at all for yarn to change its underlying format away from twtxt. 2023-04-16T03:00:03Z (#gjst6xa) @ I'd actually not replace it with newlines but with a space or something like that, so there's nothing breaking (twtxt output parsers or whatever, expecting only one line per twt). 2023-04-16T12:39:11Z (#gjst6xa) @ case in point, I used to twtxt images before using yarn or markdown tp do it - and markdown isn't making twts like [this](https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt-2021.php#7bvo5zq) any less readible. 2023-04-17T20:20:50Z Today, Ubuntu decided to change the default browser in one of my machines.

But I agree in principle with @ that maybe we can add something on the metadata of the feeds enumerating the extensions we use or... I don't know, something that will allow any twtxt user to know how to deal with any 'yarnisms' in the content of our twts (even if the only one that comes to my mind as needing explanation is the thread hashes - how to interpret them). 2023-04-19T08:24:05Z The old kindle story of digital burning of Fahrenheit 451 had already shown the perils of using e-book platforms, but the [recent IA lawsuit has highlighted a graver danger](https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-internet-archives-troubles-are-bad-news-for-book-lovers/): with one click, in an instant and without anyone knowing, a vendor can (and does) "update" a book. It is not that new issues of Agatha Christie's books will be sold "moderized" it is that suddenly you cannot go to your library and find an old/original version.
