In-reply-to » Speaking of Yarn and/or Twtxt + Activity Pub integration... Been thinking... If a decision is made to turn this into a full-fledged Twtxt bridging services between Twtxt <-> Activity Pub (which would make things much more transparent, because then yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period)...

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m probably wildly off as I don’t know how this is all implemented exactly, but it sounds like something the bridge itself will have to handle.

In-reply-to » @carsten Your thoughts/opinions on Activity Pub integration with Yarn / Tstxt? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I think I’m somewhere in the same camp as @mckinley@twtxt.net etc on this one. There’s still a real purity to what we have here with Yarn/twtxt, so while I’m sure integration of some sort is useful for people, I guess it should be as least impactful on the current system as possible. An adapter or service does sound better rather than yarnd talking directly to it all, if I understand that part of the conversation correctly. I know very little of ActivityPub admittedly though.

TikTok screams a lot of things. It’s literally there to make an entire generation as stupid as possible.

Besides that, their logo/branding literally makes me feel a bit queezy. Something about the colours that makes it seem like it’s going in and out of focus… hard to explain.

In-reply-to » @prologic and any other Golang aficionado... interested in opinions on what is considered best practice here, as I'm still quite green here. So if I have a server and client (both written in Go), data is passed as JSON and marshalled/unmarshalled in both cases to structs that are basically identical between the programs, and I want to have these structs 'shared', should I put the structs maybe into a single file as it's own package and just pull them into the server/client that way?

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks mate
