the Fireworks and Confetti animations are amazing. It reminds me a lot of my first code on QBasic a few years ago.

This is a reminder to have a look to S.M.A.R.T. data I guess O:)

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s fine, I never expected my yeets, to be preserved for future generations. Any art I posted here, can be found through my (now almost entirely HTML 5 complient) website.

Sometimes, we spend months stuck in inertia, distracted by screens and routine. So I’d like to give you a simple reminder: creating-in whatever form-is what makes you feel alive.

The beauty of working on projects is not in their ‘success’, but in the simple act of working on them. Whether it’s writing, cooking, programming or redecorating the house: play with ideas without pressure, engage in an activity to test, fail and discover without judgement.

In the end, what remains is not a perfect product, but the satisfaction of completion and valuable lessons.

Find a project, no matter how small, and let it take you without expectations.

We should look at this thread

This is sooo cool, it reminds me of learning QBasic (and then Visual Basic) in the 90s

can’t watch anything on netflix, it says my browser is not up to date (but it is) and that the content is not avail to watch instantly… this is supposed to be easy but it’s not anymore, I guess I divorce with netflix and cancel the subscription…

Markdown and the Slow Fade of the Formatting Fetish - a nice article about Markdown VS proprietary formatting. With quotes like “Microsoft Office works in an office where you pretend to work until you can finally go home.” 😄

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do agree “the rules of the web”, are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.

As for my website, it might be visually very similar, to how it looked since its creation, many years ago, but it is frequently improved. Features that originally used JavaScript, changed to HTML and CSS components, code simplified, optimised to withstand browser updates and new screen resolutions,… Even a good chunk of the errors on your list, were already addressed and I plan to address the rest soon.

Just find it a bit depressing, that my attempt to bring back some of the old Internet spirit, by making a hidden easteregg page page for this years April 1st, was met with people complaining about April fools day jokes and you insinuating my website sucks.

In Mexico you couldn’t register the word Sonora (state), nor Taqueria (kind of restaurant) as there are two common words, but perhaps the combination of both is trademarkable, I’m not sure, so many ‘taquerias’ here don’t file a trademark request. It’s usually “Taquería

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m allways on the frontline! 🙃

I have just received the royalties for the last book: 98 euros for the four-month period, about 24 euros a month on average. Not even enough for the gym membership.
If you have to keep some knowledge: don’t write for money, the paper (or ebook) industry is in a very bad way, the margins for the author are very small and piracy is devastating.

Hello, i want to present my new revolution twtxt v3 format - twjson
That’s why you should use it:

1. It’s easy to to parse
   
2. It’s easy to read (in formatted mode :D)
   
3. It used actually \n for newlines, you don’t need unprintable symbols
   
4. Forget about hash collisions because using full hash
   Here is my twjson feed: https://doesnm.p.psf.lt/twjson.json
   And twtxt2json converter: https://doesnm.p.psf.lt/twjson.js

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, I use Firefox and didn’t realize this existed! Thanks for pointing it out. I noticed at least one bug cited a webcompat.com report; I wonder if someone at Mozilla monitors those. https://webcompat.com/issues?page=1&per_page=50&state=open&stage=all&sort=created&direction=desc

@javivf@adn.org.es Welcome to twtxt!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for taking a look, and for pointing out the mixture of tabs and spaces.

I think I’ll leave reachability.c alone, since my intention there was to use an indent level of one tab, and the spaces are just there to line up a few extra things. I fixed reachability_with_stack.cc though.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you must be loved by all the web developers in town! But ok, I have added all the missing semicolons, that should technically be there, but them not being there, does not make a difference.

Font color change inside every summary element, was a very deliberate choice, to color the text, but leave the arrow black (same as website background). But ok, I rewrote the CSS to hide the arrows and make all summaries white - since this also works better, with some dark theme enforcing browser extensions.

HOWEVER “p” as a child element of “summary” is a thing, that as far as I know, all browsers respect and if a font color is applied only once, I don’t think it matters, if it’s done through HTML or CSS, you smart ass.

There’s a secret art easter egg thing, hidden on my website ( https://thecanine.ueuo.com ), for this years April fools event - it’s been there for a few weeks, but now I can finally give hints.

Puh, eine Woche Städteurlaub in Dublin. Das schafft - vor allem die Leber! 🍻🥃
Viele Eindrücke, Gegensätze und wunderbare Menschen.
Jetzt heißt es wieder: Im Alltag ankommen.

thanks @prologic!
@bender the idea of the RFC was to reach an agreement on a difficult problem, receiving proposals, and the voting is a simple count to gauge the sentiment of “is this a problem worth to be fixed?, are we committed to implement a change in our clients?”

But that’s a fair point. What do the community expect? What do y’all expect?

For anyone following the proposals to improve replies and threads in twtxt, the voting period has started and will be open for a week.
https://eapl.me/rfc0001/

Please share the link with the twtxt community, and leave your vote on your preferred proposals, which will be used to gauge the perceived benefits.

Also, the conversation is open to discuss implementation concerns or anything aimed at making twtxt better.

oh my god I am never using a css grid again ;;;; converted the sdv shrine to a flex layout, works much better on mobile now! now to just push that update!! :D

greek myth is crazy bc there’s the misogny but also yeah she IS getting that man pregnant. penelope and odysseus obviously (he literally WAS the one that carried telemachus) and ofc andromeda and perseus & hektor and andromache but also like. you cannot tell me helen didn’t get menelaos pregnant bffr

alright, I guess I’m finally gonna work on fixing my website’s responsiveness issue, pray5me

Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds.
I’d like to change that. It’s by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn’t have to be hacky all the time, as you don’t need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.

by design there really is no way to easily discovers others
Yeah, I agree, and although there are directories of email addresses, usually you don’t want that, unless you are a ‘public figure’.
I couldn’t say that a microblogging is a “social network” by default, as a blog is not either. At the same time, people would expect to find new people and conversations, as you’d do in a forum.

I think of two features on top of the current spec:

• Clients showing a few posts of what your following are watching but you don’t, so perhaps you find something interesting to follow next. Or that feature of “Your ‘followings’ are following these accounts/people”. (Hard to explain in english, but I hope you get the idea)
  
• Sharing your .txt into some directory, saying “Hey, I have this twtxt URL, I want to be discovered”. I’m thinking of something like the Federated tab on Mastodon.

@bender@twtxt.net thinked about Gemini protocol. Why corporations shit this name with cryptocurrency and LLMs?

@bender@twtxt.net I taught the whole ecosystem 😁
@prologic@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people?
Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.

Thank you @python_valencia@twtxt.python-valencia.es for letting me show you the secrets of a decentralised plain text social network like twtxt.
I hope you enjoyed the talk! ❤️🐍

Hello World from tt2

My granddaughter will grow up much like me.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oooooh! I like how that’s shaping up! Now you need a jobless vacation (not moneyless), so that the project goes from baby crawling, to toddler steps. :-)
