@david@daiwei.me Thank you! 🙏

@david@daiwei.me Found it. Some bugs in the “claim limiter”. Fixing…

@david@daiwei.me Please write an issue for this 🙏 I don’t mind which way we go!

Ahh crap, I didn’t take any 😅

I see 🤔

I also set this to local years ago:

$ go env | grep TELEM
GOTELEMETRY='local'

When this came out I was also outraged. But it doesn’t go anywhere, there are no network connections. It is effectively “off” like this.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh yes, but tt has a “draft” mode right? You didn’t publish, then edit over and over did you? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL 😂

let’s just see if something like this crops up again.

I will very likely add a way to delete your feed(s) from the search engine, because I do thing that’s important. But as Art 17 points out, we can’t really guaranteed deletion in everyone’s caches around the planet haha 😆

The only place where this would be an issue is the Twtxt Search Engine – But as the GDPR also points out:

Art. 17

The one place the “it propagated and I can’t recall it” problem is legally acknowledged is Art. 17(2), and it explicitly scales to what’s technically feasible:

“…the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure…”

Best-effort, given the technology. A decentralised, append-only, content-addressed feed is the available technology, and its limits are baked into the standard the law applies. Nobody — not the user, not you — is obliged to guarantee every cached copy vanishes.

So just because I enjoy this kind of thing (looking into laws and trying to understand them…):

GDPR is about roles, not ownership

There’s no property right in personal data under GDPR. The whole regime hangs on three roles:

• Data subject — the person the data is about.
  
• Controller (Art. 4(7)) — “the natural or legal person … which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.”
  
• The rights in Arts. 16 and 17 are exercised by a data subject against a controller. They compel a third party to rectify or erase. They are not self-executing duties that a piece of software must expose.
  

That’s the key. In your architecture, for a user’s own posts about themselves sitting in their own feed on their own device:

• the user is the data subject, and
  
• the user is also the only person “determining the purposes and means” of that data.
  

There is no third party controller to compel. The “right to erasure” is a right to make someone else delete — and there is no someone else. It is satisfied the instant the user can change the file. A UI button is a convenience, not a legal requirement. Omitting it removes zero rights, because the data is a plain-text file the user can edit or delete by any means — editor, sed, git, their file manager. Full practical control is retained; nobody is being denied anything by anyone.

Nice!

based on this, it’s entirely possible that there may still be a subtle bug somewhere with the app

🤣

oh man, that voice dictation didn’t come out quite right I think it’s because I still have a cold

as upset repeatedly in the past and many debates and discussions, I don’t think there’s any other viable way to do, threatening in a purely decentralized way because I think you’re just create another set of problems that are probably likely far worse

and to be clear, I voice dictated that last reply so please excuse any miss speech to text recognition errors

@david@daiwei.me well I happen to agree because one of the fundamental problems is that you can’t have a tax file specification and assume that you can edit it freely by hand as a human and then clients that deal with that specification in machine possible mechanisms the two kind of conflict because humans get things wrong machines don’t

I don’t think I’m going to add edit and delete support in this app because I think it was a horrible mistake to add those features to a client 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de please don’t waste your time to bugging this. I’ll figure out what’s going on with these new clients.🙏

what feed was tha from?

@david@daiwei.me LOL 🤣

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Ahh awesome! No worries mate! 🙌

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Well I clearly suck 🤣 putt.day #62 ⛳ 22/12 +10

Took me two days to clean this off properly 😳

I believe the tree that we stayed under was some kind of fig tree and on top of dropping little fig fruit and another little debris. I think we also got a bunch of butt poop and shit on top of the van’s roof. 🤣

had to clean a lot of gunk off the top of the van I have to wake up back from our holiday! 😱

@david@collantes.us heads up 👋 that verification code never reached you — outbound email was broken on my end (my mail relay was rejecting twtxt.net senders 🤦‍♂️). Fixed + deployed now 🥳 give the hosted feed another go, it’ll land this time 🤞

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Wrote it up 👌 Single-user twtd API is now documented (plain JSON, one bearer token) — posting, uploads, profile, followers + WebFinger: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd/src/branch/main/API.md 🎉 Shout if anything’s unclear for TwtKpr 🙏

twtpub.com is just the default instance tho — it’s a multi-tenant twtd, AGPLv3. Run your own and I’ll list it in the app’s picker so folks choose where to land 🤗 keeps it decentralised + spreads the load. Docs → https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd

New in the Twtxt App 🥳 a Hosted feed backend — claim a nick, one tap, no account, no server, nothing to run. Your feed lives at https://twtpub.com/u/yournick and you’re posting from the app straight away 🎉

Just depends, if I get overwhelmed and can’t keep up with demand, I’ll insist on a Gitea Issue(s) so I can organise the work.

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Anywhere I can find ‘em 🤣 Gitea Issues, here, there anywhere you want really 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Pffft bender is never mean haha 😆

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@bender@twtxt.net ROFL 🤣 That post was from ~17w ago 😅

Agreed. One thing I’m not sure if I can do is reuse the native font-size / accessibility stuff. I’ll have to look into whether that’s exposed to PWA(s) at all. 🤔

Some further ideas/enhancements for Twtxt App …

• On the “Followers” tab, new followers should appear at the top I thnik.
  
• On the Following/Followers, each feed should be clickable/tappable.
  
  • Maybe also tidy it up a bit, displaying the full raw Feed URI is messy.

@balloon-fu-sen@tw.fus.f5.si Thank you for reaching out 👌 I had alraedy done so via Email too a few days back and she upgraded her Pod to yarnd/0.16.x 🎉

Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU | Hacker News Fark’n hell, this is some ~50k SLOC of Rust code compared to the original ~8k SLOC of C of the original this was based off of. No doubt this was “vibe coded” for sure, there is no way a human can write 50k SLOC, not in a reasonable timeframe anyway 😅

Just thought it an interesting Hacker News article that caught my eye 👁️

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You did! 🎉

Hell yeah 👍 🙌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org None. I rejected ithe invite request 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Well… I can’t! becuase the email supplied was nobody@invalid or some shit™ 💩

Telegram’s t.me domain has been suspended | Hacker News Wow 😮

@david@daiwei.me I agree, the App (https://twtxt.app) really does work quite nicely 👌

@david@daiwei.me that was literally one of the messages I got this morning with an invite request to join this pod 😱

Nice!
