@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear god have we lost our way 🤣 I mean seriously?! Can we no longer think for ourselves? This isn’t even “AI Slop” this is just poor pathetic lack of discipline 🤦‍♂️ – And, frankly, no leadership.

In-reply-to » Weird. My timestamps are all being shown (on https://twtxt.net and https://darch.dk/timeline) one hour ahead of what I expected. Am I manually writing my timestamps wrong? Are the clients interpreting something I'm not aware of? Let me write this one on the "Z" timezone to try to debug it.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You need to use the RFC3339 format. I would recommend you read the specs at https://twtxt.dev – This is what is used by many moden clients these days 😅

👋 Looking for other interested folks to continue to evolve the development of Salty.im 🙏 I’ve been hard™ at work on the v2 branch and @doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt has been incredibly helpful so far. Be great ot have a few more folks to join us, some of the v2 highlights include:

  • Double Ratchet by default.
  • Group Chat (sender/client fan-out for now)
  • Much better TUI with background agent.
  • Mobile App coming soon™ (iOS in progress, Android next, same codebase)

In-reply-to » @lyse I just watched this. And whilst it's very good and insightful, good history of MySQL and how Martin helped built a good solid Open Source + Commercial model, I'm not seeing the "why people don’t wanna work at your company" bit? What am I missing? 🤔 In any case, he does talk to great length on the importance of Culture and the insane notion of "centrlaised office working", which I 100% agree with.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh! 🤔 Did you link the wrong video or something? 🤔

In-reply-to » A mate just recommended this German talk why people don't wanna work at your company: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3321-eseskaemwarumguteleutenichtbeieucharbeiten_wollen It's really good. I fully agree with most parts.

Well it’s ~2am and I finally defeated the AI player in a game of Frontier Crown 👑 – On that note I’m now going to bed, I’ve made so many improvements to the aesthetics (UX) of the game, the mechanics, and it’s now quite nicely playable 👌 G’night! 😴

In-reply-to » I spent the day today integrating @xuu's double ratcheting work and ratchet library back into the reference client/broker implementation saltyim as a v2 branch. I completely redesigned and rewrite the salty-chat TUI client as well, which now includes proper notifications and a background agent that keeps running so you never miss any messages. It all "just works"™ and I'm quite happy with the outcome! 🤩 #saltyim #revamp

@bender@twtxt.net Aye aye capt’n 😅

Some pretty pics to illustrate the much improved reference Salty.im client, salty-chat.

In-reply-to » Behold! 🥳 My first (hopefully it doesn't fail 🤞) µSaaS (microSaaS)

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks for letting me know it was Mobile Safari! I just did some testing real quick and things are not working very well 🤔 I think I’ve introduced some regressions last night as I was putting this into prod 😅 services me right for late-night deployment 🤣 I’ve taken it down for now, will spend a bit more time on testing making sure things all work properly!

In-reply-to » This weekend, I'm building a service that turns PDFs into chaptered, audiobook‑quality narration in minutes—upload, listen in a built‑in player, and download MP3/M4B files with clean metadata.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I dunno 🤷 You should see all the things™ my wife does 🤣 I guess we’re both the same, we just do it 😅

In-reply-to » This weekend, I'm building a service that turns PDFs into chaptered, audiobook‑quality narration in minutes—upload, listen in a built‑in player, and download MP3/M4B files with clean metadata.

Has a bit of a long history story behind this, where last year at work we were reading this book called Engineering a Safer World and initially came across a service called Speech Reply that allowed me to upload a PDF copy of the book and start to read it, but unfortunately, the free trial right now before I can finish reading it turns out that Speech Reply service cost a whopping US$30 a month and expected me to pay a full year upfront, which was well over US$300 just for one fucking book! So I sent their sales and support staff a message kindly asking if it were possible to just pay for the audio transcription of just a single book or to change to a monthly subscription fee, to which they refused, so basically in the end I got very angry and told them to go fuck themselves and built my own service. A year later here we are :-)
