I’m with @andros@twtxt.andros.dev and @eapl.me@eapl.me on this one. But I have also lost interest in twtxt lately and currently rethinking what digital tools truly add value to my life. So I will not spending my time on adding more complexity to Timeline. Still a big thanks to you @prologic@twtxt.net for all the great work you have done and all the nice conversations both here and on our video calls.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Well some! 🙌

i hosted a forgejo instance out of boredom. it’s pretty epic https://bytes.4-walls.net/kat

@bender@twtxt.net <333

@bender@twtxt.net i forgot it LOL

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz which was your last post? 😊

help why didn’t my last post go through

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you are OK. Taking a deep breath, everything’s gonna be irie, mon. 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i just did the migration to stuff on the cacher branch so i’m like WHAT IS HAPPENING

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz oh ok i think it’s slowly rebuilding stuff

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I CAN’T SEE TWTXT.NET ANYMORE?! WHAT’D I DO IN THE MIGRATION HELP LOL

test can anyone see this pls reply if u can

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh dear lord, take it away, take it away! LOL.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Yeah this is where I think all the hype really falls down. It’s all just a really really expensive search engine and auto-complete 🤦‍♂️ That’s it!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz My eyes hurt, though. 🥴

@xuu@txt.sour.is, see this. The italics didn’t come out.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz MinIO is a good choice for a self-hosted Object Storage (compatible with S3 APIs) 👌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Don’t be nervous, I make sure I test the shit™ out of things before anyone else does 🤣

gah i’ve been so busy working on love4eva! TL;DR i switched image backends from the test/dev only module i was using to the S3 one, but with a catch - i’m not using S3 or cloud shit!!! i instead got it to work with minio, so it’s a middle ground between self hosting the image uploads & being compatible with the highly efficient S3 module. i’m super happy with it :)

i posted a patreon update that details the changes more: https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-am-now-working-127687614

that post says i didn’t update my guide yet but i actually did like right after i made that post lol so you can CTRL+F for minio stuff there!

@prologic@twtxt.net exciting!!!!!! i’m SO SORRY i didn’t get to doing the migration for my instance though - i’ve been really busy! T__T but i hope to get to it sometime this week i really wanna upgrade i think i’m just a bit nervous for whatever reason lol

@thecanine@twtxt.net do you read ed zitron’s newsletter? he writes in depth about how AI is a crock of shit it makes me feel normal for once

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this looks really cool

@Yarn@yarn.social yo, what’s up? I am busy running my business here!

@thecanine@twtxt.net “*BuT cAnInE, tHe A(G)i ReVoLuTiOn Is NoW*” Hahahaha! Thanks for good laugh! 🤣

Hello @Yarn.social@yarn.social 👋 (testing something)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Sorry, but you were expecting what now?! 🤣

@eapl.me@eapl.me this would be, what, the third time you leave? 😅 I jest around quite a bit, act as Devil’s advocate, and am an overall maligned phaun, but please know that I appreciate you, and enjoy your engagement.

We will be here (maybe) if you ever decide to come back.

Once or twice a year, I make an effort to switch from dark mode / black terminals to light mode again.

It usually doesn’t end well, because the contrast is just not as good. There’s a reason that things like professional DAWs or CAD software use a dark theme.

With a heavy bold font, it’s much better:

My font doesn’t get any bolder than this, though. I’d have to make a new variant of it. Mhh. 🤔

I also fundamentally do not believe in the notion that Twtxt should be readable and writable by humans. We’ve thrown this “argument” around in support of some of the proposals, and I just don’t buy it (sorry). As an analogy, nobody writes Email by hand and transmits them to mail servers vai SMTP by hand. We use tools to do this. Twtxt/Yarn should be the same IMO.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I honestly believe you are overreacting here a little bit 🤣 I completely emphasize with you, it can be pretty tough to feel part of a community at times and run a project with a kind of “democracy” or “vote by committee”. But one thing that life has taught me about open source projects and especially decentralised ecosystems is that this doesn’t really work.

It isn’t that I’ve not considered all the other options on the table (which can still be), it’s just that I’ve made a decision as the project lead that largely helped trigger a rebirth of the use of Twtxt back in July 1 2020. There are good reasons not to change the threading model right now, as the changes being proposed are quite disruptive and don’t consider all the possible things that could go wrong.

July 1st. 63 days from now to implement a backward-incompatible change, apparently not open to other ideas like replacing blake with SHA, or discussing implementation challenges for other languages and platforms.
Finally just closing #18, #19 and #20 without starting a proper discussion and ignoring a ‘micro consensus’ feels… not right.

I don’t know what to think rather than letting it rest (May will be busy here) and focus on other stuff in the future.

We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today “nearby restaurant recommendations” mentioned. Gotta try that!

Ask it where I can get a burger, knowing there’s 3 spots that had it on the menu, AI says there’s none. Ask it to list all the restaurants nearby it can check… it knows 3, of the 10 or so around, but 1/3, even has a burger, on the menu.

Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).

Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and ¾ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.

Restaurant 3: it says “food” and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

“BuT cAnInE, tHe A(G)i ReVoLuTiOn Is NoW”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I see. I reckon I accidentally late April-fooled myself. :-D

It’s an interesting comparison. I really should have thought about that.

You’re right, the rendering would not be very spectacular. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net ROFL 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net if I tell you I will lose the edge. I want to mass produce them, as a business venture. LOL.

@bender@twtxt.net How does it work? 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev We don’t know the cause, yet, do we? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net that mechanical magical ball I built is doing a good job, thus far. :-P

LOL Amazon displaying tariff prices “hostile and political,” White House say is this the kettle calling the pot black? 🤣 Trump, pfft, what a fucking idiot. No clue how economies work, let alone countries.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, no, this is vastly exaggerated. Neil deGrass Tyson says, the earth is smoother than a cue ball (billiard): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMP5dNsZ-6k That would make for a very dull OpenGL program, though. 😂

@bender@twtxt.net You guessed right 🤣

@iolfree@tilde.club Fuck no. 😅

I figure Eris is getting and update. A real certificate this time? Time will tell!

@bender@twtxt.net LOL how would I have guessed that?! 🤣

In Spain, electricity has already been restored. Amazing experience! Luckily, I will only have to throw away some food. But there are stories of all kinds. It has been 12 hours where we have gone back to the middle ages.

@prologic@twtxt.net Spain. Duh! 😂

@javivf@adn.org.es 12 Hlirs without power? 🧐 Where do you reside?! 🤣

After 12 hours of power outage and almost a proper rest I feel uncommonly full of energy

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org likewise I don’t have the energy for a fundamental shift in any of our specifications that would inevitably cause a lot of toil and try and change in our clients implementations and unforeseen problems that we haven’t really fully understood:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de At this point someone needs to make a decision 🤣 @bender@twtxt.net keeps reminding me of that😅
